Wasn't Andy Levitre a Bill

Whaley is the one who let him go.

Levitre signed one of the largest contracts for an interior lineman the year of his free agency, Bills were wise to move on...he was deemed not a fit for the new offense, which moved more to an inside zone type that required size over a mobile OG.

 

Sometimes that is the case, please stop with trying to lay blame.

He was just setting the record straight, not laying blame.

That wasn't the case...the Bills were outbid and by a pretty good margin.

He was a FA and got a boatload of money from the Titans. Wanted to keep him but it was the right move by management. 

 

Letting him go was the wrong move by management.

 

It was wrong at the time........because they had plenty of money and had invested a second round pick in him and he was good.    If your early picks pan out and you let them walk without a solid replacement you don't understand how to build.    At the time,  that is what the Bills were.    We all know this now......let's not defend the dumb things they did in the past.

 

It turned into a disaster when the season started and Colin Brown had perhaps the single worst season by a Bills starting OL.    He was literally altering the outcome of games and very possibly the single difference between missing the playoffs versus stealing a very up-for-grabs playoff spot.

 

And in the long run it was wrong because he's been very good for a long time and is still going strong.    

 

And fwiw.........future HOF'er Jason Peters is playing tonight as well.......and there were clowns on here who FOR YEARS swore trading him was the right thing to do.   Part of that argument was the Bills were getting younger with the drafting of Eric Wood........but as I said in response to that......Peters will be playing when Wood was out of the league.

Left in FA.  Marrone had no use for OL under 6’4”

 True, but the coach & his scheme define the value of players

It’s all good, Whaley had Colin Brown ready to take his place.
