2020 Our Year For Sure Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 6:00PM: I've learned that the Bills had offered LB Mike Peterson a one-year contract for an undetermined amount of money; and the offer was rejected. Strange. I assumed he was the last of the three LBs we had in last week that we'd try to get, as his signing would probably force Poz to move outside for a year. edit- http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/showthread.php?t=171512 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magox Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Peterson probably was the best of the group so far on a one year basis, but I'm actually hoping we get Freddy Keiaho or Cato June Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fingon Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 My guess is that he wants a deal with more than 1 year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lets_go_bills Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 June would be serviceable for three years. I knwo his play fell off after his days in Indy but he's only 29 and is an ideal Cover 2 OLB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fingon Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 June would be serviceable for three years. I knwo his play fell off after his days in Indy but he's only 29 and is an ideal Cover 2 OLB. Keiaho has more upside and talent, however he would want a long term deal. I think the Bills are looking for someone to sign a 1 or 2 year deal so they can get a 1st round LB in the next few drafts.

MartyBall4Buffalo Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Dissapointing. I was hoping we'd land him. The prospect of Keiaho or June isn't all that inspiring. The talent level would've been better off with peterson and moving poz to olb. Then Poz at mlb and keiaho or june. At this point I'd almost rather they draft a lb. There's some good ones in the draft this year, who will probably be better players then what we could get in free agency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Bills are looking for someone to sign a 1 or 2 year deal so they can get a 1st round LB in the next few drafts. Agreed. It makes sense, they want a guy to essentially spot-fill. They have too many needs this year to fill via draft and with the relative abundance of OLBs on the free agent market, it's only natural that we sign one of em. Of course if somehow Aaron Curry is there at 11 all bets are off and we take him, but that won't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Strange. I assumed he was the last of the three LBs we had in last week that we'd try to get, as his signing would probably force Poz to move outside for a year. I wonder if one year deals are to protec tthe team from having to carry dead cap weight or to pay bonuses next year if Jauron and crew are exited from Buffalo? May also spell the beginning of the end for the Tampa 2 in Buffalo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted March 9, 2009 Author Share Posted March 9, 2009 Thanks, Boone. But, who is Pat Moran? (I think I may have asked this same question, in the past.) Pat Moran has a Buffalo Bills blog on Fox Sports and writes a bit for scout.com. He's said in the past he has a few friends in the local media he uses as sources, including Tim Graham.

2020 Our Year For Sure Posted March 9, 2009 Author Share Posted March 9, 2009 Another interesting tidbit... 1:39PM: From what I'm being told, it appears that Freddy Keiaho is the Bills primary target among LB's that visited. Good, I prefer Keiaho to June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we take Cushing-Matthews-Sintim in Round 1-2, why tie up $ with Keiaho or June? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
