N.Y. Orangeman Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Devon Kennard gets over $6m a year for three years....Anthony Hitchen gets $9m a year. Wow. It feels like we may get priced out of this market... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunken Pygmy Goat Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 IMO, LB is not the position to spend big bucks on in FA, and the Bills have other priorities. Shoring up the defensive line trumps the second level, and who knows what they're spending on Star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Now Moment Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Draft the LBs. Nice draft to get one or even two. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat68 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 There is not an impact LB in FA. If im Buffalo I get a franchise Qb and impact LB in the draft. Those are the 2 things you dont find in FA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALF Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Nigel Bradham or Zach Brown if the price is right. Ok with bringing back Preston who knows this system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IgotBILLStopay Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 with the lotuleilei signing, need a Luke Kuechly type behind him. Think Rashaan Evans or Roquan Smith in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with both. Zach Brown I think still fits our D. Still want him badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get an occasional Lomax but generally your stars come out of the draft. Having said that, I like the idea of bringing Bradham back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corta765 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 The Bills will let the initial spending spree on LB happen and then like last year make their signing on a guy like Avery Williamson or Tahir Whitehead who offer as much potential but for less assuming neither is signed away which I don't think happens.

Both of these guys have the speed that McD's defense requires. Get one of them, draft an MLB high and bring Kyle back. Bills will have a MUCH better defense. 5 minutes ago, ALF said: Nigel Bradham or Zach Brown if the price is right. Ok with bringing back Preston who knows this system. I've been wrong about everything, but I'm sure McD wants to replace Preston. Too slow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels like we may get priced out of this market... Why would we get "priced out of the market"? Last I checked, with the trades of Tyrod and Cordy, Bills are actually in the top half of salary cap space, and Pegula is the 7th richest owner in the NFL. Beane may decide not to pay these initial prices (and that's probably smart), but we're nowhere near salary cap hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
947 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 We need to add 2 starting LBs, and it's doubtful we can get both in the draft. I think we take a LB at #22 (Vander Esch or Evans), but need a FA too. Nigel Bradham, Zach Brown, or Tahir Whitehead- would absolutely be impact LB signings for the Bills. All good fits for us, hopefully the prices come down after the initial FA frenzy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Not a fan of sinking big $$$$ into free agent LBs or RBs. By the time they get to their second contract they're physically beat up and only rarely have little or no tailoff in their burst. Draft 'em and invest those dollars at other positions...

It's this type of thinking that cost us 6 more elite years from London Fletcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 All this talk about drafting a LB at 22. Do people think we’re keeping 22? If we do, LB should probably be the pick....I just don’t think it’s going to be ours to use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
