scribo Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 I think Matt Birk will hit the market and should be our top target. He is irritated that his 10 years of top-five center play hasn't been enough to earn a pre-season contract extension, and the Vikes already have his replacement on their roster. We need to sign the top center available, and six-time Pro Bowler Birk is clearly that man. We've invested a lot into our o-line, yet it is still home of our biggest need (center).

Agree 100%, he can bet that Kevin Mawaii that got away. Would add serious credibility to our line. Plus the guy plays against the 2 best DTs every year in camp. He has to be a priority for us.

scribo Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Bertrand Berry is an animal. Arizona showed little interest before this season in re-signing him, and that hasd to now be seen as a mistake. It will interesting...I think he'd look great in Buffalo blue.

bananathumb Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 All I want Russ to do is bring the top DE (Peppers), top OLB (Suggs) and top TE (Gonzo) and while I thjink about the top C (Birk). That's all I want, so co'mon, Russ, convince Ralph to go on one last spending spree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HelloNewman Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Personally, I'd like to see them go fter Haynesworth... Forget it...won't happen...TEN will franchise tag him first and foremost then pay whatever it takes to keep him. That takes us out of the running.

That takes us out of the running. http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/07/26/...in-his-freedom/ he'll be a UFA - TEN is not allowed to tag him again and he'll go the highest bidder, plain and simple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsVet Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 It's funny to talk about options at the DT position. The Bills have spent 3 off-season trying to fix that spot, and it seems like no matter what Brandon, Guy, and Jauron do nothing works. First it was Larry Tripplett who was an epic flop. Kyle Williams isn't the part of the solution. McCargo is a bust. They traded for Stroud who seems like he's still a fine player. I don't see much from Spencer Johnson either. Haynesworth is a pipe dream, and the key to Tennessee's defense. The Titans will not allow him to leave. If they did, Tennessee would begin the long search to find someone to replace him. Some teams have playmakers and some do not. Those that have them usually go to the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All your PFT link says is they can't slap the tag on him a second straight season. And let's keep in mind that Mike Florio once reported that Terry Bradshaw had died. Tennessee has loads of cap room, and will give him 10M+ a season to keep him. The cap will rise to about 123M next season and I can't imagine Bud Adams going cheap with his best player. Would you?

Would you? haynesworth will go to whoever pays him the most money - he said it in an interview last week that could be TEN, but he made it very clear that they had no leg up on anyone and he would chase the dollars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Romes Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Now that we got Stroud, this isn't a priority but I wouldn't be upset at all if we landed him. IMHO, we should go after Peppers!!! im sorry. i don't post that much but overloading at dt might be the smartest thing a team can do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
