They may wait until the last weeks of the season, when teams dump high-priced veterans. If one of them wants to play with a contender, he might sign with the Bills for a reasonable salary. 

    Panther’s don’t have a second or third round draft pick next year.

    They have Gilmore, Bouye and D. Jackson.

    Jackson is a free agent next year and will be garnering a princely sum as he has taken a major step forward this year.

    He would be an excellent addition and use of a pick for a guaranteed starter.

Why is EJ Gaines not on this list

 

He did start with "outside street FA".  Gaines is a street FA at this point.

Kirkpatrick was decent for a few years, not sure if he still has it, but why not kick the tires on him and Dunbar. Put them on the PS while we hope the others can step up. Losing TRE is bad, especially with SB aspirations. Tampa Bay will be much tougher matchup now.  The rest of the schedule we may slide by, but in the playoffs KC, LA Chargers, even Cinci will prove to be tougher tests.  As far as the SB, the NFC is loaded with high octane passing teams. This is a BIG LOSS. Outside of Allen and Diggs, Tre is the MVP.

 

We really need to start getting more pressure on the QB and hopefully the whole defensive scheme steps up and figures out ways to neutralize #1 WRs.

 

Dunbar had knee surgery at the end of last season and I wonder if he's not "right" and that's why he's being cut from PS after PS

Now that Tre is on IR, is there a rule that allows us to pro-rata the remainder of his contract for this year (about $6-7m) and offer the same amount to another player (assuming you can even find someone close to being that good)?

 

No. Players on IR and PUP count against the cap.

A common statement in the wake of today's news on Tre'Davious White has been "I'm sure they'll bring someone in for depth". It's possible they stay pat with who they have. It's also possible they poach someone off another team's Practice Squad.

 

But in the event they go the veteran FA route, I thought I'd take a look at what's out there. Below is a list compiled from NFLTradeRumors.co List of Top 100 Available Free Agents - along with their ranking on the list overall and their age: (https://nfltraderumors.co/top-50-2021-nfl-free-agents/)

9.) Quinton Dunbar, 29

21.) Daryl Worley, 26

22.) Gareon Conley, 26

27.) D.J. Hayden, 31

31.) Prince Amukamura, 32

52.) Blidi Wreh-Wilson, 31

56.) Dre Kirkpatrick, 31

72.) Akeem King, 29

78.) B.W. Webb, 31

 

Quinton Dunbar was brought in for a visit with the team in late September of this year. Daryl Worley was a member of the Bills from 11/3-12/9/20 before being poached from their Practice Squad by Las Vegas. So I'd imagine if we were to make a FA addition, one of them is the most likely move.

 

Anyone have a preference from the list or an idea of someone on a team's Practice Squad?

 

Fixed your list for you

Maybe in Australian rules football you could do that!
