potential O - Line upgrade

Credit to the author of the article in the original post.  Not only does his analysis of PS players around the league come across as well-informed, his dad is also a huge Bills fan.  Looks like there may be an Olineman or 2 out their to at least consider.  The 2nd article (from the third post, right before this one) also has some merit, although most of the veterans mentioned are still recovering from injuries, likely out of game shape, and may not have much value as far as stepping in and helping out right now.

Sign all of the OGs on the list and cut the OGs we have.  There’s at least some chance that they’re better.  If they’re worse, that’s ok, I don’t see how we can win the SB with this line as it is.  The fact that there’s a chance that they’re better is worth the risk this season.

I saw this, but the first three guys on their list are coming off serious injuries and may not even want to play, ditto for the last (at least, not for bargain wages) Not guys to back up the Baby Brinks for IMO.

 

Fluker and Sweezy might have something.

I would look at those two and Osemele.

Smacks of desperation 😟 we’re not a playoff team if we need to go in that direction 🤭

The Saints won the super bowl signing street free agent corners down the stretch

 

we arent a playoff team if we quit trying to get better.

I think this is a fun article but a little bit far fetched.  You’re not getting help from the PS at this point in the year 

 

 

Probably not, but it's not impossible.

 

 

 

 

 

Both articles are good stuff, though. It's hard to know if any of them would help soon, Osemele looks fast but like he's lost some weight. DeCastro might be the best bet depending where he is in his rehab. No sure things here, obviously, but I wouldn't be surprised if the the Bills have looked or are looking at some or all of them, with varying degrees of seriousness.

 

With our top five guys healthy and playing together we're a solid group at pass pro despite all the girlish Chicken Little screaming out there, but probably below average in the interior at run blocking. But we're not healthy right now and our backups have been shown up as lacking. Can they look better with experience together?  If we can get some improvement - at reasonable cost - it might be worth doing.

There are countless examples of playoff teams signing free agents late in the year out of need and going on deep playoff runs.

Haynes can't possibly be worse than Ford Lincoln Mercury.
