78thealltimegreat Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Was reading early ideas on where the top free agents might go and they seem to be heavily connecting Sherman to the Bills for some reason but I like what I saw of Chris Carson but his health seems to be the biggest factor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Carson is a good back. He’s a better Zack Moss. I pray we don’t sign him. We need SPEED at RB 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveorhatembillsfan4life Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 I can’t see Sherman coming here. His price probably would be too high considering our other needs. I think we need to continue to develop our own opposite Trey. I would like to see more Dane Jackson next year . 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 This roster isn’t good enough to be cap strapped. Beane is going to have to cut the fat... and find some value on the market. Neither of these two names represent value imo. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanSD Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 I would have thought that Sherman would be out of our price range, but admittedly I haven't paid much attention. Just speaking as a fan, I've loved Richard Sherman ever since he entered the league -- he would be a fun addition to the roster IMO. I know he's polarizing though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could theoretically afford him if we wanted him badly enough, but I doubt we'll pursue him. We must have higher priorities than signing another expensive corner. Seems like a strong candidate to end up in New York with his former DC IMO. Edited January 26, 2021 by DCOrange 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 i don't know what they are going to do, but we need to upgrade as much of our DL signings last year as possible. we need a small improvement at CB2, i don't think sherman is fast enough for that (not at a good price anyhow). for RB, they either need to sign a guy for not too much, or draft somebody. i'd like speed there, but a power back who can move would be a huge get too.

Whkfc Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 We will be fine cap wise. Guys like Addison, Butler, akd Jefferson will be cut. We had the most expensive d line in the league and it under performed horribly. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloRebound Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Can’t see how these signings help much. We don’t need a high priced RB. We just need an average RB who can get tough yards. Moss was on his way to providing that before he got hurt. On offense We need a legit TE more than anything. Knox can be a good #2 gadget type TE. On defense, we need to move heaven and earth to get some pass rushers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Sherman looked slow this year, he might be able to help cover TE’s or maybe convert to FS. It depends on what he is asking for money wise. I was never really a fan of Carson, I feel like Moss might even be a better version of him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estro Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 If the Bills resign Matt Milano & Jon Feliciano, which I believe they will try their hardest to do.......I don't think there's going to be much money left over for anything, but some lower level FA signings. They really don't have the money to hand out to FA's. I do expect then to move on from the following players to save a decent chunk of change: -John Brown -Mitch Morse -Vernon Butler or Q. Jefferson (one's gotta go to make way for Stars return unless he retires, which wouldn't be a surprise) -Lee Smith & maybe -Mario Addison Might be better to save the $6.2M in cap room and get rid of a 34 yr old DE who had a very meh type of yr. BTW our FA swing last yr on DL (Addison, Butler & Jefferson) was kind of a big swing and miss. All those guys got pretty healthy multi ur. Deals, and they were not much better than replacement level players) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 I don't see it. But with Allen here it is nice to know Buffalo is a destination city for talented F/A's that want to win now. Look how excited Beasley and Diggs were to come here to play with Josh.. On the defensive side, lot's of opportunity here as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Romes Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 I like an old physical corner in free agency who’s nasty and savvy enough to stand up to Kelce and old so inexpensive. Simply an anti-Kelce acquisition. We don’t need to spend on speed to go against Kelce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victory Formation Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Hopefully Buffalo doesn’t go hog wild in free agency.. Re-sign your own guys, try and find a way to stockpile more picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 I don't want Sherman or Carson really. Sherman is at the point where he is best served switching to S and Carson cannot stay healthy for the life of him. The only RB's I would want in FA are Aaron Jones (but he will cost too much), Kenyan Drake (may think higher of himself than what we should offer), or Jeff Wilson (an RFA whom I don't believe we would be willing to pony up the compensation for). I might also take a look at Boston Scott, but he is an RFA as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antonio Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 No to Sherman pls, Levi is RFA and would be easy to retain if we really want to. Plus we have Jackson waiting for his shot. Carson to me would be nice, but I don't know if we can afford to sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also had a lot of playoff experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Otreply Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Frankly it’s unlikely that either of them are brought on board, both are to old, to slow, and to expensive. We need to up grade our run blocking schemes first and foremost, and Dane is the current up and coming CB2 as things stand presently. Sherman is just as slow as Norman and we have two RBs that are not what is called fast by NFL standards. This would be a step backwards or sideways at most. Go Bills!!!

Beane is going to have to cut the fat... and find some value on the market. Neither of these two names represent value imo. Top 4 in the league. We're good enough for nearly anything. And the reason we're cash strapped is largely the coronavirus-related depression of the cap number. I don't see a lot of fat, myself. Though I agree those two don't look like they'd fit the value parameters we're likely to have to use in our current situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyobills89 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 The only thing I'd like about Sherman is he is pretty smart would probley help during the week teaching things to the cbs.
