buffaloaggie Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 How long is Sam Adams still under contract for? If they sign Simon, that'll be the first step out the door for an aging Sam Adams. I don't think the Bills will be able to afford Clements for what he wants. They'll franchise him to get one more year out of him, then hopefully they'll have his replacement waiting in the wings.

mackey7789 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Just saw that Philly dropped the franchise tag on Corey Simon making him a free agent. Since we were mentioned in a trade a few weeks ago....i think he would be a HUGE pickup as a free agent. Our run D has been suspect in the first few preseason games so this would make sense.

TD's history would seem to indicate that we are going to lose Nate. I have no sense of Sam's longevity but the bottom line is that Simon is a DT who gets sacks, that is something every defense can use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye Eric Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Other than on the OL they should stick with the guys they have. Signing free agents at this point can only lead to future salary cap hell problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Tuesday Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Isn't Edwards in a contract year? In the event he actually does have a great year, the Bills will have a hard time valuing him (b/c he only had one good year as a starter), and therefore retaining him. Makes the Simon possibility a bit more logical, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VABills Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 And when he ends up not having one? Where are you then? 422565[/snapback] Tag and trade to Atlanta. I am sure they'll fall for that again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d_wag Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 And when he ends up not having one? Where are you then? 422565[/snapback] if you don't expect him to have a breakout season you let him play out the year and walk after the season......... but if he does end up having a breakout season a talent evaluator looks mighty stupid for not forecasting his progress and locking him in earlier......after all the time the bills staff has spent watching edwards over the past few seasons they should know NOW whether they want him around long-term or not and know NOW whether he will be a special player or not........if they can't at this point they are not doing their jobs.........

I am sure they'll fall for that again. 422567[/snapback] Wouldnt we have to sweeten the deal just a smidge? I think a tagged Edwards AND Ryan Denney for a first rounder, and the Falcons would be all over that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
