bilzfancy Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I wonder how Logan Thomas is looking, if he's doing well in the OTAs, there may not be a need for Barnidge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Costa Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Would love the Bills to have the option to run a lot of 12 personal with 2 quality TE's if both Barnidge and Clay are healthy. Sammy would be a monster in that package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Moulds on my A** Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 With Clays maintenance issues either the Bills need to think about upping the offer or they're banking on Logan Thomas or O'Leary, Kroom, (new guy recently signed) to help relieve him during the game. I hated that Clay signing from the get go. Paid him way too much and we've been dealing with his boo boo ish since he signed. * I do think Logan Thomas has the potential to tear up a defense. He's a monster of a man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndirish1978 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 He just wants to use his "team shopping" as an excuse to skip out on OTAs. He'll sign somewhere in the next week or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEraBills Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 I mean I think you have to go through all of the OTA's first to see what you have. IF you are not satisfied after that then up the ante with Barnidge. Otherwise just see what you have first and hopefully the guy we are looking for is already on the roster.

The thing is that the TE that Miami was counting on also failed......but the bad thing is Miami looks like they found other tight ends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADOLBILZ Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 (edited) I liked the Clay deal...until I heard he had knee issues. I hoped they would have been solved but apparently they won't be. People forget how good Clay was when the Bills signed him.......he was a very worthy top 100 NFL player who could do everything asked for from a TE/H-back.......which made him an ideal fit for Roman's offense. On paper, he was their smartest acquisition......save for the knee issue which none of us knew about. McCoy, Cassell, Harvin........bad fits or clear, gross wastes of assets to acquire them. The Bills were in on Brandon Marshall and the pick they traded for Cassell would have been better than the pick the Jets traded for him. That was their #1 need going into the offseason......a nose tackle was second.......and they effectively addressed neither. Marshall subsequently had what would have been the second greatest by a Bills WR ever(next to Moulds 1998). Instead they paid Harvin. The lack of a nose tackle probably hurt WORSE because it turned the Bills best defender Dareus into a traffic cone. Rex and Whaley were out of control that offseason and ended up spending assets on impulse buys and it cost them.

OldTimeAFLGuy Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 ....Gary must have landed on IR after his "12 exhausting visits".....and I agree with the Logan Thomas intrigue......George Wilson made a transition, so why not lightning striking twice??.........

Logan isn't natural to the position at all... Signing Barnidge puts a skilled TE in the mix to help a roster of question-mark QB's.... Sheesh, this isn't rocket surgery. -Git 'r done already...

I am curious as to why you say Logan isnt natural to the postiion He was the top rated TE coming out of HS.....converts to qb because that is the money position and he can play it.....then isnt good enough to be a NFL qb......but is not alien too the TE position He has all the height/weight/speed measurables you would want.....actually grades out better then OJ Howard. Now.....he could flop....but players have made the successful conversion before. All that said yes please give me Barnidge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

folz Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 (edited) So, just curious if anyone has heard anything recent about Barnidge? From a quick Google search it seems: Barnidge officially visited the Bills Early May, tweet that he will probably visit the Panthers and Jaguars, but I couldn't find anything saying that he actually did visit either of those teams after his Kentucky Derby break. Article saying Panthers were unlikely Articles and radio interview where he said he has "heard" from a number of teams, interest from Denver, but he has only talked to a couple of Broncos coaches that he knew, nothing official. Then Broncos head coach then said he is happy with the TEs he has and also an article saying Denver wouldn't do more than a low-risk deal if they did anything. But no official visit or anything. Has he really only met with the Bills? Edited May 28, 2017 by folz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
