colin Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 13 hours ago, Turk71 said: I was pretty cranky that day. Turns out it was a great contract for the team and Beane did a great job. Hope he turns out to be a good player. My complaint about Long being the highest paid o lineman and Bodine and Ducasse next in line was more about the lack of talent on the Bills line. Last year's fa pickups were uninspiring to say the least and I was concerned this year would be more of the same. If they are gonna spend for talent in fa I am hoping the line is a major focus. so you are go ahead and disagree with me on the internet and then take in information exchanged in the discussion and reevaluate? this is not the internet i grew up with. can't even get into a flame war over a signing i won't remember in 4 weeks anymore. i guess it's back to yelling at stop signs for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJ Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 The fact that there was no signing bonus makes this an outstanding signing by Buffalo. There were reasons why Long struggled at center for the Jets. I wouldn't write him off because he couldn't execute a shotgun snap with a torn ligament in his finger. Bring him in. Let him compete. If he can't, you tell him goodbye, and there is zero cap issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloRebound Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 The only thing this signing tells me is that the Bills know there is gonna be a ton of competition for the top OL free agents. So might as well grab a guy now who at worst is your primary backup interior lineman. Realistically, Bills will be lucky to land 1 of the top free agents like Paradis, Morse or the RT from Carolina. In a perfect world, Bills sign a top flight OL and a top flight Offensive skill position player in free agency. Then back that up in the draft with another top flight OL and offensive skill position player with their top 2 picks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I see it, the Jets' below average GM overspent on an injury prone player who is average to good when healthy, watched him get injured, saw that he wouldn't necessarily be a good fit with the scheme Gase wants to run, and had to cut their losses. The Bills have now signed him to a much more reasonable contract with the hopes that he can return to health and, thus, effective play. Time will tell. And now, a live look at new Jets coach Adam Gase: He wasn't below average on Washington. His only below average season was in NY. Let's hope a return to good health and a better scheme fit help him return to his previously high level of play. As has been mentioned, he represents an upgrade over what the Bills had, at the very least. Prompted Jets fans to come over here? Lol, I will be happy to read the posts complaining about his play next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

947 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Anybody still complaining about this signing needs to watch his Jets highlight video that somebody posted earlier in this thread. In what was supposedly "a terrible season that got him cast off the Jets", he sure put together some nice tape. Of course it only shows the good plays, but it looks a lot better than any highlight plays from Ducasse, Miller, or Teller. He really moves well. Now he did look much better at Guard than Center, but the guy can play. I see him starting at OG for us and having a solid season, I think we get a Center somewhere else.

BuffaloRebound Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 We have no potential free agent losses that would net more than a 7th rounder so comp pick hand-wringing not needed this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laughing Coffin Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) The long contract is so damn good, at worst he's going to end up a versatile backup that we can dump after 1 season. We can still address the C position with a higher profile FA (Morse, Paradis) or draft one and have Long at the G or have him backup both C and G positions and dump Bodine for a modest dead cap of like 500k Bills have been good at grabbing guys willing to take a team friendly deal and betting on themselves being able to use their opportunities here to be awarded more. Trent Murphy and Long are perfect examples. I hope we are able to do another type contract with Jason Verrett, CB from the chargers who's been really unlucky with injuries, back to back seasons with season ending knee surgery and then Achilles in training camp this season. It goes to show what the LAC think of the guy because they want to retain him even though he hasn't played in 2 full years Edited February 23, 2019 by Laughing Coffin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
