As a slot receiver. He's nothing special and he's redundant with Zay Jones already on the roster. The Bills need a consistent outside receiver who threatens defenses vertically.

The other players won’t hurt to lose any of them. Yeah that includes Kyle cause i believe he retires. That would be a lot of roster turnover then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s dunzo happy to keep: - Gains I’d love to see stay -Brown, unless they can find better for same $ - O’Leary should be extended -consider mathews if great value (I think he got a raw deal and can be a solid #2 wr or slot) - Kyle if he wants back on team first deal - if Logan Thomas wants to be back as a continuing dev project, perhaps?

BuffaloBillsGospel Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Gaines, Yarborough and O'Leary are the only ones I'd be interested in, all those others are very much replaceable. Meatball is a great leader but his 3 sacks are very much replaceable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle can still be effective if he's paired with a DT who can handle double teams. He's also important to the team in a leadership role.

Chicken Boo Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 2 hours ago, BuffaloHokie13 said: Jordan Matthews' skillset is redundant and unnecessary to our WR corps. Zay will have to earn his #2 spot back. Expect at least 1 FA pickup at WR, maybe a mid round draft pick as well. Redundant? You mean like Edelman and Amendola? I understand our receivers didn't have the best of seasons, but I think people's opinions here are skewed by below average QB play and the basic scheme that was ran in 2017. Jordan Matthews is a good receiver that can be had relatively cheap, I'd think. That's not to say we can't add more guys, but I'm 100% against just letting him walk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should keep Jordan Matthews. He's a good receiver, and I think would be a very good compliment to Benjamin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quoting because i dont care to go back and forth to the list. but this is probably the best year to have FA money. This list can be replaced and we don't have to bat an eye. My personal caveats include: If Cadets ankle checks out, i would consider. Tolbert and Taiwan gave me nothing. We could try to improve upon D Thompson but could bring him back if asking price is reasonable. Seantrell has potential. I could see him as a better RT than mills. Kyle, if he wants back, he gave us enough to warrant one last run. Preston does not fit, we need to get faster. Thank you for your services sir EJ Gaines woyld be the signing IF he could stay healthy. I almost feel like we have to move on from him as well Leonard Johnson, i like. He is feisty and isn't afraid to be physical. Good inside guy. ERs lets resign Yarborough and O Leary, Yarb played wrll on the left end spot and is also a good backup on the right side. Oleary seems to be a jack of all trades TE. Not great but will do what's asked if him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let him fly not just walk he's a ordinary average wr nothing special to his gm. We already got Zay he's just as average in my opinion. We need to add explosive talent to complement Zay and Benjamin.

SoCal Deek Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 If there are so few good CBs in the league how come the Bills keep finding them? And then letting them go. (Winfield, Darby, Gilmore, Gaines...I know I'm missing a bunch) I just wish QBs were that easy to find. We only need ONE of them, and we haven't find one for decades now.

billsfan89 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Here is my list of the players I would be willing to retain and at what price. Unrestricted Free Agents WR Deonte Thompson - 2 million per year, good depth but not willing to break the bank.WR Jordan Matthews - 5 million per year, solid player but not willing to break the bank.WR Brandon Tate - Minimum deal, fairly replaceable but you always go with the guy you know. OT Seantrel Henderson - Minimum deal, interesting project player would be worth a 1 year minimum deal for depth and camp battles. DL Kyle Williams- 4 million, I doubt he wants to come back but he is the heart and soul of the team and still a capable player. LB Preston Brown - 3.5 million, not sure what the market for him is, he is a league average starter so I wouldn't break the bank. CB EJ Gaines 6-8 million, probably the only free agent I would go above "Market value" for but beyond 8 million is my break point. CB Leonard Johnson 2.5 million, solid player but once again you have to name your price. S Colt Anderson - Not sureS Shamarko Thomas - Not sure Exclusive Rights Free Agents TE Nick O’Leary - Would keep both of these players at any reasonable price.TE Logan Thomas DE Eddie Yarbrough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Zabka Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I like Gaines a lot but he is going to be pricey and has missed 26 games the last 3 years. Too much of an injury risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 The Buffalo Bills have four players who are “Exclusive Rights Free Agents.” They are: TE Nick O’Leary TE Logan Thomas DE Eddie Yarbrough CB Lafayette Pitts What, exactly does that mean? An Exclusive Rights Free Agent (or ERFA) is any player who has less than three accrued seasons in the league, but whose contract is expiring. The team controls the situation with all of these players. If the Bills want to keep any or all of them, it’s easy and cheap and they have no risk of losing him. If they don’t want to, the player becomes an unrestricted free agent when the new league year begins on March 14 at 4 p.m.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
