I honestly do not remember Sheppard being good at anything. Maybe he got better with more time. The so called 'sideline to sideline' speed Nix and Gailey tried to sell us on after the senior bowl never materialized.

Titans fans are hoping this turns out better then the last FA they paid big dollars for from Buffalo.

Quick question to the OP, do think Russel Wilson would have the same succes had buffalo drafted him? The Bills are doing exactly what Seattle did. Maybe even assembling a better D. We shall see after FA and the draft. I think you are going to see this approach more and more. As we are seeing great QBs are hard to find. Luck is the only one in the last 4 years. Wilson is good and made better by his team and coaches.

What you did in college matters all the way up until draft day. After that it's what you do in the League that matters. Yes i want Hughes back. No i do not think he is worth $12mil a season. Replace him with the next guy who will look as good playing with 3 pro bowlers and in Rex's system.

Ron Parker from the Chiefs makes a ton of sense. Need a safety and he is versatile enough to play CB. He will not come at a big price

I like where your head is at. I think the Bills wanted to sign Hughes for the right price. I also was pretty sure based off Hughes statements about no home town discount and such that he was going to hit FA. I think Whaley and Rex are now looking for another play they can put in the front 7 and he will be the next 'Hughes'. Maybe in 2-3 years he can be resigned for the bigger number because Mario is not costing as much.

I have thought all along Hughes ends up in Atlanta. Atlanta will overpay for him and Hughes will have a tough time matching his numbers the past two seasons. People in Atlanta will say he is another bust FA. I do not blame Whaley one bit for standing his ground. There is a good bit of DE out there available in FA. If the Bills overpay an extra $2mil here $1.5 there and $3mil to this guy, next thing you know you can't sign Dareus. Go get paid Hughes! I would and so would every guy on here. You know you would!

This really is Hogan's year to make a case to be a legit WR. My take is he has been so focused on making the team and then not making a mistake that it has hindered him to some degree from relaxing and playing. I hope he gets really into a comfort zone and can flourish.

Bingo!As opposed to yelling at each other in public

Spot on. 1 and 2 rounders are expected to be starters/heavy contributors year one in today's game. 3rd rounders should see significant playing time in year one. After that whatever you get from rounds 4-7 is really gravy in year one. If any of those mid to late round picks turn into a starter you had a wonderful draft.

I agree that I like the fact Whaley is making moves. I expect to see more In FA. Whaley has a plan and I believe he and Rex are on the same page which is huge. I wanted to see Kiko in Rex's system but I know Rex will have this D humming.

I was listening to a National Media guy on the radio and he was describing Mariota and it was like hearing a description of EJ. IF you play good guys will follow you. You can be an ahole and demmand respect, but if you can't play none will come your way.

I like not tagging him and i like the approach Whaley has taken. The Bills have come right out and said we are doing everything we can to bring him back. I am sure they are . At this point Hughes and his agent may want to wait. I am sure Hughes' agent already has fielded a few 'hypothetical offers' from other teams. Let it all play out. Atlanta just dumped a bunch of players and now has about the same as the Bills. It has been widely known down here that they need a pass rusher. Hate to say it but i could easily see Hughes in Atl.

Could not agree more. The guys from the 50's-mid 90's paved the way for the big deals and everything else players enjoy. They get a pittance compared to what guys from the 2000's get in benefits. The NFL should be ashamed for how they treat the pioneers of the league.

Stevie was not a gamer while in Buffalo. He actually was exactly what has been wrong in Buffalo for so long. Coming up short in big situations. I do not hate them man one bit and wish he could of made a few big plays when he was given the chance.

says Atl saved $3.8 by cutting him. How much you think Blalock will get? 31 with no injury history. Maybe a 3 year deal in the neighborhood of $15mil? $8mil guaranteed?

I don't normally do this but you seem like a swell guy Fix Or Repair Daily

Having watched a lot of Falcons games Blalock was honestly the only good oline man on the Falcons over the last two years. I don't think he will come cheap but he is good.

EJ has no trade value at all. Anyone thinking otherwise is a supporter of EJ's or an optimist that we have the answer to the QB position on the team. I am by no means stating EJ can't become a starting caliber QB, but right now he has no history to warrant trading anything for. The only GM that might do it already has a QB in Indy! Ha The waiting till after FA may suggest another move is in place. Rex does not know much about how to develop a QB but Roman does. If Roman isn't interested in trying, that is good enough for me.

Hey! Tampa is a hard place to win! -Steve Young

My main 'issue' with Chandler is that he is average at best at everything. He is not a great blocker or a great pass catcher or elusive at all. Chandler should be the 'complimentary' TE to a true number one TE.

Maybe Dareus and a third rounder? Whaley might be watching the Suh deal very close. Also what do the Bills have that the Rams need? WR's? Bills have 2 worth anything and Watkins is not going anywhere. And no way is Robert Woods is in the discussion unless it includes about 3 other guys and a pick or two.

along those same lines, what about if the Bills 'other' big FA signing is Revis? talk about a scary D for a few years. You would be done most likely, with out any significant O signings. How would you feel?

I do think there is some reasons to be hopefully that EJ progresses. i think EJ can be as good as Wilson in Seattle who I believe is a decent QB with a great team. Whaley is trying to duplicate that model.

No wonder he is nuts the master looks like an asylum!
