gr8billsfan Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) The former NE Patriot and RT Sebastian Vollmer has been on the FA market for a bit now. Would be a massive upgrade from Mills and would be a day 1 starter. Only thing to consider is his age, 32. But would be a perfect fit even for a year. with the Patriots, he was signed to a 4yr/$16.75 million contract w/ 8.25mill guaranteed. He had an average salary of $4.2 million. Should the Bills go get him? Edited March 26, 2017 by gr8billsfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireChan Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Why would he want to play here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr8billsfan Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) Why would he want to play here? No current offers in the FA market. $$$ is always a reason, if we don't overpay. You could ask that question to any player. lol. Edited March 26, 2017 by gr8billsfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it's the reason we're a bad FA market. Guys on the tail ends of their careers usually take less money to win a ring or two. They don't go to Buffalo to do that.

I'm Spartacus Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 If it is in our cap budget, bring anyone & everyone in for a look-see. What do we have to loose? Our drafting during the drought as been bad. WE NEED DEPTH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronxbomber21 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I would've signed him before bringing back Mills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't heard any reports, but wouldn't be surprised if they did make an offer that wasn't publicized.

EmotionallyUnstable Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I believe the FO is comfortable with Mills at RT in the offense that it appears they are building. This move would make sense if we plan on going out and throwing the ball 35-45 times a game but from our FA acquisitions thus far, I think they'd rather save the cap space and work with what we we have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
