Estro Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I really hope they aren't looking to have him start at RT Signs point to that. We already have John Miller, Eric Wood & Incognito. Ryan Groy is the backup swing interior OL. So why sign Vlad Ducasse, you wouldn't even be able to dress him on Sunday's if the 4 guys I mentioned before him are on the roster. So barring an unforseen release of one of those players, it looks like Ducasse is destined for RT or backup swing tackle. Don't think he's a good player, s I'm interested to see where the #'s come in on this contract. 3 years indicates they like him and has me thinking he might be our starting RT.

LEBills Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 It doesn't matter if the guys that you've lost do not sign any where True, but many of ours will and for decent contracts. Bc we have so many roster spots to fill, it was unlikley we'd be able to stay far on the net loss side anyway. And that's ok. But I hope that we can stabalize and start working the comp picks like the Pats and Ravens do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPT Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 another comp pick gone???? we have 22 UFA and have released another 10 or so.......we need these depth players more then a freakin 6th round comp pick next year.....i love draft picks as much as the next guy but cmon......how bout a GM that actually works the draft board in more ways then just moving up and I dont wanna hear that you need a trade partner......every year bellicheck finds 10 of em and constantly stock piles for the next year.....signing depth Free agents is NOT the problem Belichick can stockpile picks because he values compensatory picks instead of throwing them away on a 30-year-old backup lineman. If you're going to risk losing picks for depth, at least do it at a position of need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klos63 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I am still pissed at not keeping Felton. He crushed players. Then i say to self, Juice looks really good though after review. I am On board to bring him in!! But we get this guy from the Falcons? Whales is out to lunch sometimes. who the heck is Vlad the Impaler anyways? My Grandson was going to named Vlad.

NoSaint Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Also, according to over the cap, only compensatory FAs of the same "tier" cancel each other out. From my understanding it's straight volume for eligibility and then you cancel by tier once you are eligible for picks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbo044 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Could mean Wood might be a cap casualty. He was replaced nicely at center last year when he got hurt...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 My understanding was if there's a net zero, the max pick you can get is a 7th. Unless it's changed in the last year or two that is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Could mean Wood might be a cap casualty. He was replaced nicely at center last year when he got hurt......not sure this particular signing will impact Wood. He played LT in college, I think the Bills will have him compete for RT spot and can be OG depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domdab99 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I can't believe people are worried about comp picks.

Kmart128 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I guess you all want a comp pick so bad you want to go onto the year without a full roster or a roster full of UDFAs.

Woodman19 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Extra compensation picks is a byproduct of teams who draft and develop well. Its because they are able to develop the kind of depth in positions that they can let players go in free agency and get the picks, not because they intentionally plan on losing players just to gain picks.
