If and when Gaines signs with another team it would give us a +1 in the formula, as well. IMO the Bills need to sign A BUNCH of unrestricted free agents this offseason..........some may be cuts and I don't really expect to see any $10M per FA's unless it's a QB.........but I don't see them coming out ahead in the comp pick formula for 2019.

Agreed...unless a few stragglers like Deonte and Wright fetch more dollars than we expect, the trio of Matthews/Brown/Gaines is pretty much it for CFAs lost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See how much a team like Cleveland or Buffalo pays then go to a contending team and say so and so offers this much can you beat it. Happens every year unfortunately. It's a hard enough sell to get players to come here so until we have a QB and are a super bowl contender we are still not going to be the top choice for free agents Well yea duh, why would he want to go to a playoff team that thrived in its secondary ??♂️ Not sure where you get off comparing the 0-16 browns to a playoff team (that made the playoffs without qb-as most put it).....that just doesn't make sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillsGospel Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 He had a rough 2017, injury riddled the past couple of years and have taken it's toll on him, I'd much rather have Gaines at this point, I mean I can't see him making astronaomical money, pay him what he's worth.

Gaines may end up being too much to keep, but getting Davis shouldn't rule out their attempt to re-sign Gaines. The Bills could still use a slot corner even if they resign Gaines. I don't mind Davis on a modest deal. It gives you a plan B in case Gaines prices himself out of what is reasonable. 9 minutes ago, BuffaloBillsGospel said: He had a rough 2017, injury riddled the past couple of years and have taken it's toll on him, I'd much rather have Gaines at this point, I mean I can't see him making astronaomical money, pay him what he's worth. That's why I hope this is a depth move and a break glass in case of emergency move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For you to say Buffalo is a bottom five destination is laughable when this team has one of the richest people in the world owning the team. If Wilson was still owning the team, it might be a bottom 5 destination, but it is hardly the case any more. Wake up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo will never compete with the big markets until we have a QB that gives us a legit shot to win a super bowl. We have the same odds to win the super bowl next yr as Cleveland fyi as per Vegas. Players use us as leverage to get similar money from a big city team. You wake up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBuff423 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 11 hours ago, nucci said: well, would probably be a replacement for Gaines and Gaines is the better player...so not really that good of a sign You may not agree that it's a good sign, fair enough of course.....but, to say that without question Gaines is a better player, is quite a stretch of logic IMO. Davis at one point was the top CBs in the league, and while he didn't return to that form with the Colts, I don't think I'd write off his career just yet. Buffalo, in recent years, has been a place where players who once were thought to be "done" or their career to have sunk to an ultimate low (Richie / Hughes / Lorax) have been revived. If the Bills sign Davis, I have faith in McD to get the most out of him and given his potential, I think that makes it pretty promising. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreggTX Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Davis would be a good signing and would upgrade the 3rd or 4th CB position. He's quicker than fast and could cover similar slot receivers. Even at age 31 or thereabouts he's better than Johnson and Wright. We need better depth at CB.

ALF Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Is Davis or Gaines healthy, which is more affordable by free agency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
