Nanker Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Who's going to even interview him or make the call on signing him? Probably the guy who made all the draft picks and signed the 2 DBs we've picked up post draft. I'll give you one guess. Russ Brandon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont like how he had the holier than thou attitude, but he has also fessed up to being wrong about things... I firmly believe we would have made the playoffs under Marrone had he stayed.

Webster Guy Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 No way. I had him in fantasy 2 years, watched all this plays. Literally. Every reception. Had a few exceptional Pete Metzelaars stretch catches but honestly OLeary can fill in just as well there at #2. If we are cheap enough to lose TD Mike at $2.75m we'd better not sign this joker for $4m. Really poor roster management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LABILLBACKER Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Clay, Barnidge, O'Leary and Thomas would give us a solid TE Corp. Now will we throw enough to justify all these guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smuvtalker Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 It should be? Give complete autonomy to a guy who has 0 games logged as a head coach? He might end up panning out but giving someone with that lack of experience complete control doesn't seem like the prudent move. Couldn't agree more....

JerseyBills Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Clay may end up being the depth if he signs.No chance. Barnidge is definitely a quality TE but Clay is just overall the better player. That'd be a heck of a pairing though, would make the run game even more dangerous because the D has to respect Clay and Barnidge''s receiving ability. I'm also a big O Leary fan too. He proved he can produce at this level last year, and he only has room to grow. I can see us going 3 TE sets, with # 14 on the outside and # 25 in the backfield , thetc O can get very creative and very favorable match ups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, def bad mouth him in order to keep Barn with us lol. I am in the minority with you. I thought he was an above average coach but with that said, I'm much happier where this team is at going into this year, as opposed to still having Saint Doug. We likely don't have Taylor, another player where I'm in the minority , because I believe he has the potential to be a very successful QB. Definitely don't have Richie, who has just been a steal and nothing short of great on and off the field. I also have a gut feeling McD is going to be a heck of a coach. He will hold players accountable like Marrone but players will actually like playing for him. So all in all it worked out for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 I'm convinced McD will be a winner. With two 1st round picks he's setting himself up for a franchise QB next year. I wish we could afford Barnidge, but I doubt we have the money for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebandit27 Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 If I recall correctly, they could walk away from Clay next year scot-free. Nope...they can't gain any cap space until after June 1st 2018, at which time he'd have a dead cap hit of $4.5M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fingon Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 i think they do but then it's a question of how much you want to allocate to the TE position as a whole I think you also have to factor in how little the Bills are paying for receivers. Sammy has around a $6 million cap hit this year, and Andre Holmes is something like $2.5 million. IMO, I think they invest some of the money they saved on Robert Woods into the TE position.

Considering Hughes has had back to back down years. Clay has not been utilized correctly. Not saying the guy is a world beater, but with more competent QB play, I think we see better production out of Clay. I still would love to add Barn' but I don't think it's our biggest hole.
