BuffaloHokie13 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 To me, at least, this would feel a lot like when we signed Bledsoe. That's not a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommonCents Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Bills need to think long term and stop with the short term fixes. Eli needs a good offensive line and he can try and catch fire for another season or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted November 29, 2017 Author Share Posted November 29, 2017 Just now, BobChalmers said: There is no way Eli signs for some low salary. He will cost more than TT in FA, and TT costs too much. Does anyone know how freaking waiver works in NFL if he is released tomorrow he is subject to waivers, hence all you have to do his claim him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather a rookie over an older QB who couldn't win with OBJ, Brandon Marshall, Sterling Shepard and Evan Ingram. Manning is 2-9 this year. Besides, he just got benched for Geno Smith To be fair, Manning hasn't had OBJ or Marshall for the majority of the year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonetheless, they lost the first 5 in a row to the Cowboys, Lions, Eagles, Bucs and Chargers. Manning is stinking it up and I kinda doubt a change of scenery will improve him at this point. I'd rather Kirk Cousins or a top 5 rookie in the 2018 draft. The only way I'd think about signing Eli is if his brother would come to Buffalo to coach.

TheFunPolice Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 I wouldn't mind the idea but I think he might be getting ready to retire, and I would rather go with a young QB option Cousins will be out there, and it looks like the obvious landing spot in SF is now taken. He'll have options, but the Bills could be one of the better ones. Maybe Denver or Arizona but there won't be many other landing spots that are even somewhat attractive. I think the Bills will be top 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bing Bong Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 GOBBLE GOBBLE. We need an o line for him tho. Pretty much a new offense tho he does like his slot guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Beard Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Past his prime. Expensive. Doesn't represent the future. Wouldn't do well without a good line in front of him. His price would prevent other signings. Maybe Russ Brandon would want him for the hype. Are people on this forum really thinking like Russ Brandon?

Yeah I'd take my chances with Cousins as well before Manning. But to bring in any QB that doesn't have escapability would mean drafting nothing but O line in the first round. Well at least one O lineman, still have other big holes to fill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Identify and get your Rookie and sign Bridgewater if health ok for the vet That seems to be a cost effective swing imo. Teddy has some upside for the price tag.

Eli was always in the shadow of Peyton. The Manning name gave Eli more than he deserved lately. Age got to him faster.
