Kelly the Dog Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I think we need to bring him in for a looksee. He's definitely on the Bills radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fingon Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 If we bring him in, either Langston Walker, Butler, or Levitre goes to the bench. All three of those guys are quality lineman (Levitre should be, at least). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeastMode54 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Wouldn't hurt to bring him in for depth at least. If he doesn't get hurt, which is a big if, then he can help a lot. Even if not we should definitely take a look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamRoller67 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Quick find estro.... I'm all for bringing the guy in on the Bills terms, not his. He was once a good up and coming left tackle.... now he's a vet with a history of back problems. I still say go get him, but don't write his name in stone for the LT position for the entire season.

Chandler#81 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 It's possible the guy can still 'git -er done', but I think OBD is satisfied with what we've got going into '09. I'm still holding out hope for a DT/DE/OLB via trade or June 1st cuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estro Posted May 6, 2009 Author Share Posted May 6, 2009 I think we need to bring him in for a looksee. He's definitely on the Bills radar. According to what Tim Graham has been saying you're absolutely right. If the Bills ae indeed serious there is no reason he shouldn't be signed by Thursday night. Worst case scenario we have another so so LT in the mix for depth. Best case we get an above average LT for 2 years. I would be happy with his signing.

Steely Dan Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 If he got cut someone should give him a band aid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipster19 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Oh my, this is big news. I wonder why the Bills didn't give up a 7th rder if they are really interested in Jones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordio Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Oh my, this is big news. I wonder why the Bills didn't give up a 7th rder if they are really interested in Jones. Probably because the bills did not want to pick up his contract. Didnt he sign an extension back a few years ago something like 6yrs, $40 mill.

The Tomcat Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Oh my, this is big news. I wonder why the Bills didn't give up a 7th rder if they are really interested in Jones. Because they knew he was going to get cut. John Clayton reported a couple weeks ago that he was going to be cut and would contacted by the Bills.

ColdBlueNorth Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 The Bills should do this plain and simple A tackle that still has a lot left in the tank, who isn't asking for Jason Peters type money. I like our interior line prospects, and I think we have some decent development players, but having a veteran you can plug in at left tackle would be a huge asset.

ColdBlueNorth Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 A bit more from Rotoworld... It looks like he would not be able to start right away, but I think that he would be fine if they gave him the time to heal that he needs. Looks like he tried to tough it out with some injuries. "Jones is only 29, but probably has the body of a guy in his mid-30s. Back, hamstring, and knee issues cost him 17 of the Bengals' last 48 games. His latest injury is to his leg, where heavy scar tissue buildup caused the appendage to go numb. Jones had surgery this winter and is out until June. He's mentioned Arizona as a possible fit, but needs to get healthy first" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramius Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 It's possible the guy can still 'git -er done', but I think OBD is satisfied with what we've got going into '09. I'm still holding out hope for a DT/DE/OLB via trade or June 1st cuts. June 1st cuts were rendered meaningless years ago. No one of any consequence is going to be released then.

Band of Merriman Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I do hope they bring him in, but only on the Bills terms and for at least a 2 year deal. I think having additional veteran on the line would be benifical. Let's face it. We jetisoned a lot of experience from our line. Here's hoping we're replacing it with greater talent and ability.
