jahnyc Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Pure speculation, but I thought the Bills would go after Barr. Jets will be tough competition since they also have a lot of cap space. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The assumption with the Jets is that they're going to recklessly throw money around to make splashes and make sure they get who they want- that's the exact opposite of the Bills mentality so I could see us losing some guys to them. It sucks that our needs are so similar this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 I don’t know why everyone thinks Barr is such a perfect fit. He’d be getting paid 8 mill+ to play less than half 1/2 our defensive plays max. I personally think Lorax is a better SLB than Barr 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jahnyc Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 I would think the Bills have a sense at this point which free agents are possibilities through informal discussions with agents, including at the combine. I know this stuff is not supposed to happen before Monday, but I suspect it probably does. Hoping for Williams at RT, Morse or Paradis at C, one of the top outside LB free agents, and James (TE). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommonCents Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 It’s a good idea but when the action gets going and good players are signing places then it’s inevitable that other threads pop up.

The big need defensively is edge rusher, not a pure SAM who's never been a pass rush threat. Not interested. Fowler. Sign me up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prefer they target one of the many pass rushers available. I don't think we'll be adding multiple big ticket defensive FA's, so I'd prefer a playmaker.

The only thing he has over Barr is age The 21 was including playoffs. But he's so young 24yrs old and I believe Mcd can get this kid rolling. It really depends on the money he gets if it's a base salary starting at 8mil that can go up with incentives on a 3yr deal why not. I see him like an extra late 1st rd pk but with NFL experience because of his age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ndirish1978 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 We sign Williams at T and Paradis/Morse at C this week and I'll be happy. FA WRs are not good and would all be overpaid; if we pick up a WR it's likely through a trade. I'd like Justin Houston, but can see him signing with the Pats. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Williams and Paradis/Morse are my top targets. If they can sign them it will be a successful free agency. WR free agents suck. If they have to add a veteran (probably a good idea) then as long as they don’t overpay I’ll be happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
