KRT88 Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 By signing two RFA to offer sheets it seems to me like the Bills are doing the contract work for other teams. Chicago is likely to match Idonije offer sheet because it is not an outrageous amount. The Wells offer seems to be a bit more complex and the Bills may have offered more than the Cards are willing to spend. However, wouldn't it was been a smarter move to try to work out a trade for these two players first. The Bills may have explored this avenue but if you are going to give away draft picks for FA I would have spent more cash and made stronger efforts for some of the UFA out there. Also, with Reed back (why I have no clue), Parrish on board, Davis signed and Evans going no where, why are the Bills acting like they are going to keep Moulds? I would like him around for another year or two but it seems painfully obvious the Bills are gonna cut him, show some respect for a guy who busted his butt for 10 years and let him have a shot at getting a deal with another team. Otherwise just announce we are not going release him and back it up by guaranteeing his money. Why is this team not trying to sign Tank Williams? I do not see lots of promise at the safety position and I do not want Cory Wire opening the season as a starter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were to trade for these two players they would likely have to give up more. As for Williams, how do you know they aren't trying to sign him? Just because KFFL hasn't reported that Buffalo sent him an email stating possible interest doesnt mean there hasn't been interest expressed. Hang tight and see what comes up. As any smart businessman knows, you can't always bite on the first deal that comes along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't read that. They must have hard benches there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingofny777 Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Coming into the Off-Season the #1 player on my Wish List not the Bills needs or the player that would help the most, But the player I like the most was "Tank". A monster hitter whos young and has the size and ability to develop into a Roy Williams or Ed Reed type of game changer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A monster hitter whos young and has the size and ability to develop into a Roy Williams or Ed Reed type of game changer 635080[/snapback] Williams is more of a Milloy type player that plays in the box, the Bills will be needing a cover two type safety and although I agree Tank will be a good pickup for a team he does not fit the Bills needs for that position. I like the safety from the Vols in the draft I think his last name is Allen, and he might be available in the second or third round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Why is this team not trying to sign Tank Williams? 635065[/snapback] He's not a cover 2 safety. He's an in-the-box guy, like LM was. But hey, you've heard of him, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The safety you refer to is rated the 13th best player in the entire draft by them. If he lasts until the third round, great, but I suspect he will go much earlier.

Frez Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Bills | Arizona expected to match Wells' offer sheet Sun, 19 Mar 2006 06:25:06 -0800 Kent Somers, of the Arizona Republic, reports the Arizona Cardinals likely will match the Buffalo Bills' offer sheet to OG Reggie Wells, a restricted free agent, Cardinals vice president for football operations Rod Graves said. Cardinals officials will meet early this week to make a final determination, but Graves said he expects the club will keep Wells. "Our position all along is we wanted to keep Reggie," he said, "and I think that's probably what we'll do." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like him and I saw that he was expected to go in like the 3rd round due to past injury on a different board. The way he is rated on that board the Bills have no way of getting him.

So that leaves Runyan and Neal as the only viable options at this point. Is there anybody else in the OL scrap heap out there to pick from??

I think they'll match as well. Funny, he was the only olineman he mentioned. On the other hand I think we have a 50/50 shot to land Idonije. 1.7 million for them to keep around a back up dl is steep for the Bears. Edit: ($1.6 million a year and received a $1.8 million bonus) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
