Jamie Muellers Ghost Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Matthew Fairburn mentioned Tyler Bray below. Good competition for Peterman and top end rookie ? http://www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bills/index.ssf/2018/01/nfl_free-agent_quarterbacks_2018_who_could_be_available_for_buffalo_bills.html
1st Ammendment NoMas Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Smith or one of Minny's QB's will work. Chase Daniel has looked solid too and he's not going to be playing with Brees still going strong. Might be an option. McCown could be good for a year, but that's a tough call, he's old.
BuffaloBillyG Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Dark horse? Blaine Gabbert. Matt Moore. Don't want either..but dark horses nonetheless.
thenorthremembers Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 I think it ends up being Bradford, unless Alex Smith is released. I dont see McBeane giving up draft picks and I also dont see them paying 25 Million dollar a years for Cousins. The best option for now and later is to pick up Bradford at 9-10Million a year and draft someone in the first round.

Alphadawg7 Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Tyler Bray? I have no idea why they threw his name in. This is the same Chiefs team that was a contender and had holes to fill but instead traded this years first round pick and last years first round pick to draft a raw QB prospect who needs his mechanics rebuilt to succeed in the NFL. If they felt Bray showed any promise after being in their system already I seriously doubt they spend 2 first rounders and change on Mahomes when they were already a contending team and could have used both first round picks to make the team stronger in other areas. In regards to the rest of the list...No way they bring back Fitz, he is done and fans here have seen enough of him. I doubt any old vet like Fitz or McCown will be brought in even as a seat warmer to a rookie. I think ideally, they want to bring in a Vet who can possibly keep any rookie we draft on the bench the whole year to develop and still keep the potential to contend. I think one of the Vikings guys or Smith are probably the most probable targets, but they better not spend a lot to get Smith. Wouldn't trade more than say a 5th than can become a 4th or something like that...at most. Too many other options to over spend on a guy who isn't a substantial upgrade over the other options. I wasn't a fan of this before, but I have come around to going hard after Cousins if he is truly available. Assuming we still win the same 9 games this year with Cousins (which is a reasonable assumption) we can easily win the Panther game, Cincy game, and Charger game had we had Cousins all year. Thats a 12 win season this year, and with a weak receiving core most of it too. You can also make cases for either Pats game and Jets game too that they were winnable had Cousins been the starter for us. So, give Cousins the money, go use FA and our draft riches build up OL, DL, LB, RB, DB, and WR (in no particular order) and see what this team can do next year. 1

Price is great, looks like the real deal, but breaks after a few weeks leaving you regretting not spending more for the real deal. 1 2

SoCal Deek Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 If Dennison stays, then we might as well keep Tyrod as the 'dark horse'.....while the rookie learns. If Dennison goes, then you're going to have to see who's out there...and it probably makes very little difference for 2018.
Doc Brown Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Don't be surprised if we make a play for Paxton Lynch.

Question is what teams are willing to give. Teams that are interested have two choices to consider: 1. You trade for Alex Smiths current contract only. One year @ 17 Million. Minimum would be about a 4th, maybe someone desperate will do a 3rd. Remember it's only a 1 year. Smith would have no say in this. 2. You trade for Alex Smith with an extension contract. Picks would probably be much higher and maybe multiple. Smith would have to agree so he has a choice on where he goes. I for one, don't know what will happen, but I would bet Alex Smith will not be on KC's roster next year.

And like I said, given what the Chiefs did to get Mahomes would tell me they dont think much of Bray at all, so not sure why he would be a guy for us by this writer lol.
