SKOOBY Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 And Cincy says he drives a really cool car, so we should sign him I guess... Levi Jones' really cool car I sat in one of those, really nice inside. It has the most awesome stitching I have ever seen inside a car. As per signing him, we need a performance based contract (like he sees the field for most of the season).

offde-fence Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 He's proven he can play, and at a high level, but, he's proven also to be prone to injuries. If he's hurt, he's no good to us, and if he has health problems that impede his play, he's not a great option; but, if the Bills could sign him to an incentive laden contract - one that pays for production and has protection against injury, then they absolutely should be one of the first teams to try. Once again, I have to believe that the Bills front office know what the guy's really worth, more than we, the outsiders, do. If he can still play, then I'm guessing they'll pay.

San Jose Bills Fan Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 You wouldn't even consider Hangartner on the bench? I bet it would be Hangartner to get the bench and move Wood to center because that is what he is best at Brandon said in no uncertain terms that Hangartner was the Bills' top target entering free agency (Terrell Owens was unexpectedly cut and his availability was a surprise). They love Hangartner's aggressive nature and his intelligence and experience. He had the highest score ever for an O-lineman on the Wonderlich. They want a veteran in the middle of that line making protection calls, not a rookie. Barring injury there's a less than one percent chance that he doesn't start at center. I think butler goes to the bench. he's just not aggressive enough / doesn't get a good push at the point of attack Wow. No way in hell barring injury. The Bills also love Butler. He is considered a very aggressive player and is also smart and talented. With the Levi Jones biz pending, it's not clear if Butler will start at right guard or right tackle, but he will start.

buffaloaggie Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Sources deep within my belly say that the Bills will not sign Jones.

Kelly the Dog Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Especially since he's going to visit the Seahawks first http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/9544894...-visit-Seahawks Well, that says "next week" and it's only Wednesday now. It also implied he would be looking at being a back-up, like the Bronco report. He would probably have a good chance at starting on the Bills, if he is healthy.

Like everyone's saying, it's just a matter of the Bills putting a good offer out there. I gotta think Buffalo interests him the most because he'll start.

BillsWatch Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Veterans with many miles often play better in training camp due to be familiar on how training camp / weeding out process works but wear down quickly during season which is why given their high salaries are being cut. If you keep one as a reserve our linemen will "Peter" out because a backup is making more than they are and is barely playing. If he is as good as Marcus Price was in limited role as a swing tackle he is worth it but otherwise no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thurman#1 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 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). Yes. But none of them are quality LTs. To me, leaving Walker at RT and having Levitre learn behind the already-formidable Butler would make this line much tougher immediately, since the right side would be together again and at least part of the line would maintain some consistency from last year.

gettysburgbills06 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I would love to see Jones come in. Much like TO will give Hardy time to develop, bringing in Jones would do the same for Bell and it wouldnt make Butler play tackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the Levi Jones biz pending, it's not clear if Butler will start at right guard or right tackle, but he will start. Yeah, do you remember the way that o-line performance took a nose-dive when Butler was injured last year and recovered instantly when he returned. The guy was our second-best lineman last year. No way would you start a rookie over him unless the rookie was a top-five pick or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteamRoller67 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Will the Bills make a move on Levi Jones?I think he would be an upgrade,then they can put Walker back at right tackle,and butler at right guard.Levitre would be valuable depth this year. This would be the ideal situation to me. O-line depth is crucial! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
