(Lions and Cowboys) Expand I think Lawrence will probably go back to Dallas and Ansah probably isn't on the level of Quinn just because he's been very inconsistant throughout his career. Though I do not know how far Quinn's game has slipped, but my guess is that his history will still bring him in a substantial contract.

SouthNYfan Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 Austin was drafted with the pick we had, that we traded back to draft EJ Manuel instead.

blacklabel Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 Barron could be in play because of his versatility and we know how much McD values that. Barron can play that hybrid safety/linebacker role that has come into fashion in recent years.
billsfan89 Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 Quinn and Barron would be good adds. But pass on Austin, the Bills have limited cap space have to think smart about what they spend money on.
BrooklynBills Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 Did Mark Barron and Leslie Frazier overlap in TB? Cause it ended pretty badly there.

FearLess Price Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 I can see a small raid. Same with philly, they have a lot of FAs and no cap space really. If we dont trade up to grab a qb in the 1st, then i see mcderm going all in on a front 7 rebuild. Hes gonna wanna rebuild the LBs or DLs like he fixed the secondary this year.
