Kelly the Dog Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I'd like Gary Barnidge. Seems like no brainer. Woefully thin there. Could be a weapon in a two TE that Dennison likes to run at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM57 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) Floyd wouldn't really fit the character bill and WR doesn't look awful with the addition of Zay Jones. You've not got Watkins, Jones, Holmes and Brown as your top 4 with Listenbee and others competing for WR5. Assuming Tate will be kept as a 6th WR for his returning abilities. I'd take a look at McCourty, especially if he's willing to at least consider a move to safety - another DB who could move between positions would probably have McDermott giddy. He got cut by Tennessee because he wasn't willing to take a pay cut, IIRC he was due about $7 million. Maybe if he's still out there on June 1 when the $4 million or so from Aaron Williams comes off the cap, he's an option.

Billzgobowlin Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 We need some depth behind Kyle Williams. I'd take a flyer on Odrick We have decent depth with Washington, Worthy and DeAndre Coleman.

richNjoisy Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I wanted Anaquan Bolden last year. He ended up on Detroit and ended up with; Year Team REC YDS AVG LNG TD 2016 Lions 67 584 8.7 35 8 He's 36. But still , obviously, productive. For reference, James Lofton was 32 when he signed with the Bills in 1989. I'd love to put his veteran and still productive presence in Bills red, white and blue.

Thurman#1 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 We have something like 12 million in cap space before rookies. Plenty to make a few moves $10.4 mill, according to Spotrac. Before the rookies, who will likely be somewhere around $5-$6 mill, which since they'll be replacing some minimum salary guys will be an extra $4 mill or so. For a team that, like most teams, goes into the season every year with around $6 mill in their pocket in case of injuries. We don't have a lot. Now, there might be a few cuts that will free up space, but we just don't have much money to spend. Outside of UDFAs and a few very very cheap guys, I wouldn't expect much.

ChanOverChin Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 No doubt the Bills still need to fill some holes. From the below mentioned group I'd love to see the Bills sign Boldin, Byrd, Barnidge, McCourty and Shields. Anquan Boldin Michael Floyd Jared Odrick Jairus Byrd Gary Barnidge Ryan Clady Josh Byrnes Gerald Hodges Jason McCourty Sam Shields. There's still a need at OLB so Hodges might be helpful as well.

Maddog69 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I'd like Barnidge or just bring back Chris Gragg at TE It like Verner at CB I'd like Byrd at S, but I doubt they sign a S since they signed 2 already and added two hybrid LB/S types in the draft. We desperately need LB. Wish we had signed Zach Brown. Perry Riley or Hodges would be welcome additions at this point. and take a swing at Blount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeding Bills Blue Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I think Byrd could be a nice fit on a 1yr prove-it deal. As of right now we shoudl really be focusing on who the GM is going to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thurman#1 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 That account for the TD Mike money that went back on the cap? http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/cap/ Yeah, unfortunately. Maybe somebody can figure out how to rework a couple contracts and free up some money. Verner, maybe Pasztor, (TTackle, Cleveland) It'd be easy to re-work the contracts. And what it would do is move the problem down the road to next year. There's no way to make these problems disappear. Once you've paid a guy money, you have to account for it on the cap. No way around it. And I love it that they're not doing that this year. They're suffering, losing guys they probably would like to keep like Gillislee and Gilmore and Zach and so on. They're suffering and dealing with the problem so that next year things will be significantly better. Love that. But it means this year is not going to be a year when we can spend money. Boldin & Byrd - 1yr vet minimun I could be wrong, but I don't think either guy can be had for vet minimum. I'm betting it would take a couple of mill apiece, somewhere in that neighborhood.

Simon Says Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Had read that the contracts of Glenn and Dareus would be workable. They are young healthy and not gling anywhere for awhile. A significant dollar could be converted into bonus without much worry about "kicking tje can down the road". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I am pulling for Byrd, especially since we did little to convincingly shore up WLB or safety in the draft. If we go big nickel, or even just normal nickel we could use him as our centerfielder, while Hyde can be the nickel or box safety as needed.

Logic Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I am pulling for Byrd, especially since we did little to convincingly shore up WLB or safety in the draft. If we go big nickel, or even just normal nickel we could use him as our centerfielder, while Hyde can be the nickel or box safety as needed. Ditto. I think that in this scheme, with his father as his position coach, and now that he finally seems healthy, he would excel. And most importantly, as you stated, it would free up Hyde to be the swiss army knife that he SHOULD be in this defense. Hyde, to me, is not an every down classic safety. We need to add someone that IS so that Hyde can do his thing and maximize his value to the defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Moulds on my A** Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 49ers are releasing Mike Davis, supposedly were pushing him out the door with trade feelers before the draft. He filled in admirably when Hyde was injured. Blount still in the market as well but in general I really hope we're still looking for depth.
