Wizard Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 The Bills have a lot of players that can have contracts restructured to free up money in free agency. Based off of Spotrac, the Bills could get $30+ million under the cap. Like other comments on this board, I don’t think Buffalo resigns Edmunds, Poyer, or even Singletary. I think the only significant resignings are Sam Martin and Dane Jackson. Here are players I believe could fit the Bills budget and some needs. Realistic targets could include Trai Turner at guard, Van Noy (got trucked by Allen), but he is similar size, length, and an above average coverage linebacker like Edmunds. Guys that would cost more but could lock down a side of the OL could be McGlinchey or a DT that is larger but consistent like Dalvin Tomlinson, as Oliver and Settle/Jones are pieces likely to be gone soon. if the Bills approach free agency in this way, the Bills would then be looking most likely at a WR, and then either a safety or interior lineman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphadawg7 Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 (edited) Al-Shaair - LB from SF. Cheaper Edmunds replacement. He can do a lot of the things Edmunds can do and has been overshadowed by two studs in SF. A guy poised for a breakout in his next stop. D’onte Foreman - Be a nice compliment as a RB to Cook. He can catch, runs with purpose and can pick up tough yards. Edited March 4, 2023 by Alphadawg7 9 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least mid-tier. I say that without looking them up, but relying on my recollections of their previous contracts. I'm thinking McGlinchey gets a SOLID OT deal with term and Tomilinson gets a deal similar to what Oliver will command. Lotta cap would be tied up in those two, unless the Bills go long with term and back-loaded with allocation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
78thealltimegreat Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Adrian Amos Green Bay safety..Nate Davis of the Titans… Jermaine Eluemunor tackle Vegas…all positions where help is definitely needed and all won’t break the bank and seem reasonably priced…allows Buff to go into the draft needing to add a WR…OL…LB…TE…DB and be set 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Dane isn't a FA this year. He is at the end of year 3. The Bills have him under contract 1 more year. Isaac Semuelo, Guard, Philadelphia is my #1 target. 8 1 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBeaneBandit Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Mine as well. Shift Bates back to LG and even draft another IOL, probably with the second round pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magox Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 A clear upgrade either at the Right tackle or OG spot. Or someone who will compete vs Gabe for the #2 WR An in-between the tackle sort of RB that will get around 5-10 Carries game Possibly a MLB to replace Edmunds if the Bills don’t draft one. Possibly a safety who will compete for a starting spot along side Hyde. Possibly someone who will compete for a roster rotational spot on the D-line. Possibly someone who will compete for a roster spot at CB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreggTX Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 (edited) I'd love to sign McGlinchey. He's good but not great, so I think we could afford him. Draft Mauch too. We might need to move up in the 2nd or trade down for Mauch and a receiver. Van Noy is the kind of LB I'd like us to sign, but can he play MLB? Trai Turner would be kinda like a 3rd wheel at G with Mauch, Boettger, Bates and Van Roten. Mauch, I think, is the only one that inspires me. Our other G's are backups or low end starters and that's what Turner is also. Isaac Suemalo would be OK too. Nothing special, but affordable.

Sherlock Holmes Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 McGlinchey and Suemalo while we are on 49ers players trade for McCaffrey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProcessTruster Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 OG would be the preference. the Saffold experiment seems to have failed this years playoffs have shown that offense is the way to go, therefore go get as much offensive depth as you can, bc the top AFC QBs will score on you no matter how much you spend on defense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Jamaal Williams RB- this doesn’t preclude me from drafting RB Isaac Semuelo G we need a WR- sign one, draft one Bills draft a TE top 100 picks- that’s my prediction 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigdaddyinOrlando Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Julian Love ss of the Giants 24 years old, coming off a 116 tackle season. Could be a nice Poyer style signing as in not many know of him and he fits in here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 We'll have to first see how they shift the $$$ around to get any idea on how much they will spend. There are a couple of guys I would go after though. Isaac Seumalo / G - would be a huge upgrade. Jakobi Meyers / WR - he would take off with Josh throwing him the ball and would be a solid #2 opposite Diggs. If we could then land JSN or Zay Flowers in the 1st, John Michael Schmitz in the 2nd, and Jack Campbell in the 3rd? 🔥 After that BPA. I know it's a lot of wishful thinking, but yeah. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando Tim Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 I don't have a single person but I have a position- OG and then OT. I think Tremaine is coming back and the defense is less of a worry than the ability to keep Josh upright. If we do TE, I pray it is a blocking TE to help Brown. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeverOutNick Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 If Edmunds and Poyer are gone realistically I think the following moves in free agency would make for not having any real drop off on D and let’s us invest heavily in O line in the draft: - Sign Lavonte David to a cheaper 1-2 year deal (he’s old but still really good) - Move Benford to Safety to play along side a healthy Hyde (draft a mid round safety or sign one later in free agency once the dust settles) - resign Dane Jackson as a RFA - Sign OBJ or Michael Thomas to one year prove it deal (if we can’t trade a mid round pick for Hopkins) - there are sooooo many RB free agents. After the free for all happens sign a cheap bruiser like Perine to pick up short yardage - Talk Gronk into coming back for one year to win a SB with his hometown team 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyCallMeAndy Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 My tops are: Nate Davis - OG - Titans -or- Will Hernandez - OG - Cardinals Paris Campbell - WR - Colts -or- Robert Woods - WR - FA Unrealistic WR pick: Mecole Hardman Tremaine Edmunds -or- Germain Pratt - LB - Bengals I don’t think we go old LB for the defense. They’ll sign a mid-Teir FA to compete with Spencer Brown or re-sign Q-Berry. They draft WR and SS in rounds one and two. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobills404 Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 iOL: Isaac Seumalo (PHI), Dalton Risner (DEN), Will Hernandez (ARI) RB: D’Onta Forman (CAR), Samaje Perine (CIN). Would still rather just draft one on day 3.
