jahnyc Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I liked that the Bills were aggressive the first few days of free agency. I also thought that signing Triplett and trying to sign Pickett made a lot of sense (i.e., trying to fill one of the major holes through free agency). But Pinkett signed with Green Bay, and with all of the players released (Adams, Milloy, Williams, Campbell and maybe Moulds) or not re-signed (Teague, Denny, Reed), the Bills need starters and depth. This situation cannot be remedied with the draft alone and I don't see players on the current roster who can step in (other than possibly Preston). So what will be the strategy going forward? The Bills have spending money, but many of the top free agents have been signed, particularly on the oline, dt and safety, all areas of need. I think, at a minimum, the Bills need to sign at least one offensive lineman and a safety who will be starters. If not and with the quarterback situation, I don't think the Bills will be competitive this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdelma Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Somebody better wake those idiots at one bills drive and tell them to get involved in free agency. How does it sound with Tim Anderson in the middle again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chalkie Gerzowski Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Now that name is a blast from the past. I will check your link.....think he played around 88-91??? He was before the Gary Brown - Lorenzo White days. I just have a good memory of those old NBC starting lineups they used to put up on the screen at the beginning of games. I barely remember Allen Pinkett. He is along the lines of Mark Higgs, Albert Bentley and John Stephens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gross Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Well, considering the Pro Bowl players on the roster there's only one strategy to embrace at this point: punt! Less than a week into free agency and we're already....I can't say it...then again, we were hours into it.... We should sign a bunch of old players for too much money like Cleveland...
