Buffalo03 Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 https://www.nfl.com/news/top-51-free-agents-of-2023-who-are-the-best-players-available Who would you sign out of these top 51 free agents. I think for OL we could look at Mike McGlinchey. I also wouldn't mind Chauncey Gardner Johnson from the Eagles as safety. He plays the same position in the same type of defense we do so he would be a perfect replacement for poyer. He's also only 25. Who would you all be interested in? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEpsYtown Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 (edited) Yeah I could see them pursuing Jessie Bates or Gardner Johnson as a Poyer replacement. Probably a too expensive. I also like Drue Tranquill as an Edmunds replacement. I also think Byron Murphy could be a playmaking safety if he moves off CB (similar to when we signed Micah Hyde.) No reel big fish, except maybe Bates. Edited January 29, 2023 by MrEpsYtown 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsfaninChicago Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Geno Smith is the number 3 top free agent this off season. I am having trouble standing on planet Earth right now… 1 1 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davefan66 Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Some guys on that list I’d like to see in a Bills uniform next season for sure. Problem is, based on what Beane said we should be looking at lower 2nd and 3rd tier guys. Need to sign some of our own and the cap is an issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBeaneBandit Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Any of the 4 guards on that list would be significant upgrades to either of our guards. Make it happen and land one of them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Didn't realise Seumolo was a free agent. If Philly don't bring him back I'd be in on him. DJ Chark was on my list last year. I'd be in on him again. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyst Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 I hate we missed the Bradberry opportunity last year. I couldn't believe McDermott didn't see the guys worth. I saw it.

It would also be a move that irritates the Patsies, as he's one of their few good WRs. Cheap he won't be, but he might come at an affordable rate, as he isn't top tier.

Florida Bills Fanatic Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Many of the guys on this list will never be free agents because they will either sign new contracts with their current team or be tagged. Given the Bills' cap situation, the high end guys will be out of reach. As in previous years, there will be some surprising cap casualties that no one expected to be available. Any time Beane can improve a roster spot on the cheap, the team gets better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCBills Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Meyers or OBJ and any of the OL mentioned. If they re-sign Edmunds, I don’t want to see any mid-high tier investment on that side of the ball in FA. Absurd if they go out pay for a Safety. Transition Benford and let’s get on with our lives.

I can't disagree but we didn't have to worry about that with Oliver, he never blew up. We were better with Darious than without him. We still had Kyle. After the two of them got done we've never had a presence in the middle like we did with them. Payne has way more size than Oliver and has, at the very least, shown an abliity to get to the QB. If the dollars were the same in the end I might think Payne has more upside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanC883 Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 seems like a decent number of OL and DTs on the list. DL ( one of Tomlinson, Ford, Jones, Payne) and at OL (Davis or McGlinchey or McGary), grab one of the safeties also, either Gardner-Johnson or Bell. 1 hour ago, KzooMike said: I would love some Evan Engram.

Nelius Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Thought Vonn Bell was older than 28, I like that one. Risner seems like an obvious choice. Lots of interesting options in the 30-50 range, some near the top seem extremely overrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LABILLBACKER Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Good Lord somebody get Josh a real OL....McGlinchey, Taylor, Risner....just go out and spend on OL. Be creative finding cap room. Obviously our OL scouts suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoBills! Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Risner is 6'5 not many QBs can see past him which is great because Josh can. Also he is a reliable and already plays in cold weather. Payne - Probably not at our budget but with Von and crew he could see 12-15 sacks. Anthony Brown CB is another Target - He is 29 but I think could add some value on the back end with the loss of poyer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mc1320 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Reality check - according to Spotrac, we are currently $20 million over the projected cap w/out having to account for signing our rookie class. Our last big shot in free agency shot will be Miller until we can dump his contract - would be shocked if we sign anyone on this list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping they’d tag him, but the numbers are too high. Either he takes a backloaded bridge deal to stay or looks for the big payday elsewhere. Bills will probably wind up using more early picks on defense, unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
