Yeah, I would have liked Williamson also, and not happy a division rival got him! http://walterfootball.com/freeagents2018ILB.php Bowman would be great, likely out of price range. D. Johnson would be interesting--not sure how much is left in the tank, but likely cut due to salary by KC. Hodges and Bostic seem like guys that could play better in a different situation. whitehead allready signed with the raiders.....i liked him too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blokestradamus Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Seems like someone misjudged his market. It's a shame, Preston's a nice lad. I hope things work out for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsInWilmingtonNC Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I think this has more to do with positions that McBeane value highly and which positions they want to have superstars in... Such as in Carolina they had a high 1st round QB in Newton and then the QB in the middle of their defense Luke Kueckly who was also a high 1st rounder... They see those two positions as vital to the teams success and Brown is not a good enough athlete to satisfy McBeane. They will be taking QB in the top 5 and look to upgrade MLB in the draft this year or next. On the other side, they have shown that they do not spend big money on CBs. They let Norman walk in Carolina, Gilmore walk last year, and appear to be fine with letting Gaines leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 (edited) I like him. Reminds me of Poz. He will fit great in that Cincy defense.

One guy hasn't missed playing time and is among the leaders in tackles since entering the league. The other has missed a bunch of playing time and may have thrived in a specific scheme. I think Gaines thought he would cash in due to the being a CB after a good showing last year. Problem is he has injury concerns and not everyone plays zone.

wagon127 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Well, hopefully after we draft our QB, the next position we target is Linebacker. I wonder when our 2nd draft pick will actually be when its all said and done. Beane says he only has money for really cheap free agents, and draft picks.

MJS Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Preston Brown is the perfect LB to bring in off the bench in a rotation.. It would have been nice to have him in a rotation, but as a starter he is below average. I personally think the Bills want a star at the position. I wonder how long it will take to get a guy like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ndirish1978 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Meh. Read he was going somewhere he was "wanted." Which is really just code for "my team didn't agree with my overly-inflated asking price." Must have not "wanted" him all that much if he only got a 1 year contract.

frogger Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I’m hoping Buffalo gets the QB @ 12, then Vander Esch at 22, 2nd round get a DT (Phillips) and WR (Miller) 3rd Weakside LB (Scales/Leonard/Jefferson) and OT/OG (O’Neill or BPA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
