JPL7 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/buffalo-bills/ I would be ok if all of the expiring deals were not brought back, outside of Kyle, Thompson, Gaines, Henderson, and perhaps Cadet, and maybe Brown and Matthews at the right prices.

Orlando Tim Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I would definitely dump tolbert and like to keep Gaines and Williams for the right price-the rest of them are interchangable for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 (edited) I'd keep Gaines and Leonard Johnson. If Kyle would stay for half the money and fewer reps I'd bring him back, otherwise I would let him retire. There is a price at which I'd bring Preston back too but it isn't a very high price. It is the kind of "here is our offer, test the market and then if you want to come back to us the offer will still be here." The rest can go.

Buddo Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I think Brown has got better as the season has gone on. He might be lacking some speed, but he's a solid enough guy imho. We need some better depth anyway. Gaines should be brought back, but at not too much money, as he's got injury concerns. Makes a difference when he's playing, but seems to get nicked up a lot. I've been very underwhelmed by Matthews, but could see him retained if we get a new QB. I think someone offers too much to him to stay though, tbh. Henderson I'd like to keep, but I don't know if he'd get a decent offer in FA or not. There's talent there, for all of his difficulties. Kyle Williams would be a no brainer, but not at the same money. Johnson is okay, and would be good depth, if we add another CB in the draft (and re-sign Gaines), but he also would have to be relatively cheap.

TFBillsfan Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Resign Henderson, PB, Gaines, Thompson and Matthews. All still young in their careers. I’d say Gaines is the biggest priority. Personally, I’d let Kyle end his career on a high note (made the playoffs and ended the drought). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think at a cheap price it is one fewer gap to fill and he is an adequate NFL starter. He is the typical low ceiling and high floor guy. I'd like to think overhauling the front 7 is a 1 year job but I suspect it takes 2 seasons. Brown might be a bridge option in one of those spots if the FA market for him is quiet.

Jamie Muellers Ghost Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 You were 8-4 with Gaines in the lineup, number 1 priority. Speed upgrade at LB needed, so Brown can go despite his tackles. Time for a new era at QB. Thank you Tyrod. The rest are fringe guys. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haplo848 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 With a halfway decent QB, Jordan Matthews can be at the very least really solid, if not really good. E.J. Gaines was the forgotten man on the defense. When we didn't have him, we were in trouble, and QBs threw in that direction. I love Kyle Williams, but he's declined. He would be more of a nostalgia signing than a good player signing. Beyond that, everyone else is forgettable. Anyone else we resigned should be a cheap, depth signing more than anything. Anything more, and they're not worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vincec Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I'd like to see them keep KW for another season, but who knows. Got to try and keep Gaines, IMO.

Dadonkadonk Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Gaines is the only one and they will let him walk The rest are table scraps that have no impact on the team/game Kyle was average all year. I would bring him back for DT rotation. If not that leaves yet another hold to fill on front 7. Only Hughes, Lawson, and Milano are sure starters. The rest will be replaced.

Mat68 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Gaines makes alot of sense. I see him being the top priority. The rest Idk.

I like Brown also. Not flash, but solid MLB. If we can keep him at a reasonable # he opens up the ability to draft OLB's. Only two I would be upset at not seeing back are Gaines and Matthews. After that, getting Cadet, P. Brown, Henderson, and D. Thompson would be a bonus. I see some of the other "role players" coming back also. If K. Williams does not retire I'd love to have him back, but not at his current price. All in all not a bad FA class for the Bills to be worried about. 2 hours ago, 26CornerBlitz said: that's a bizzare take, IMO. Why wouldn't they keep him. Would he take a paycut to stay here? Who could they get in FA that is as good as him. If they can swap him for someone younger then fine, but hoping for a G in the draft is risky. Why make a hole when you don't need to.
