Honestly, How can you hate Manning? The guy has been nothing but a professional his entire career. Maybe Jealous? As a football player he was/is the greatest QB. He never had the coaching Brady did. He was hisown coach on the field. Calling most of his plays. This year alone proves how important he was to his team. And the fact you have to go back to his days in College to even remotely find any dirt on the guy says something. I am sorry, i usually let people take their cheap shots at people on here, but you are wrong to do so to Manning. And no, i am not a fan of his or Tenn, or Indy. But the guy is a role model for how you handle your business on and off the field, until you can show me otherwise. And save crap from when he was 21 y/o. What could be written about any of us from that period in our lives? Wow, some of you need to look in the mirror before you pick up your first rock!

Drew Brees has done it. Its all about having good interior linemen to move guys out of your lanes to see.

Find out if the Giants Scouts like any of the DE's, then draft that guy? Ha

I like him but found this- http://www.kffl.com/gnews.php?id=772679-giants-terrell-thomas-says-talks-going-well

Tennessee said they will not offer him a contract. He was a seventh round pick in 2006. He and his agent are reportedly looking for a deal similar to the one Jonathan Joseph got from the Texans last year. 5 years $48.5Mil. Finnegan did play ever snap last year for Tenn. Finnegans 2011 stats- Tot 75Solo 58Ast 17FF 0Sack 1.0Int With Buddy saying they are going to be aggresive in FA and that they want to add 2-3 DB's, think Finnegan is possibility? Who would you like as a FA DB?

It will be a DE. Not sure which one, but after they go OT in the first, Wanny gets his guy in the second and 3rd most likely.

I think the offense is further, but i think coaching had some impact on that. Chan's offensive coaching was way better the Edward's deffensive coaching. I do think BLO goes O in the first but think it is a OT. Then heavy d, with maybe the possibility of a TE or WR mixed in there. I would love to see the Bills grab Charles in the 3rd if he slips there.

I agree with you to a large degree. But look at the Colts this year. It is proof that a QB can make a huge difference. I think Brady and Bellichek will be a two for one retiring. Both know that with out the other they ar ean average team.

Wow. I mean if anyone give up an entire draft for one player, and your next years number one, you are stupid. Forget just the lack of common sense, but you also have history to show it a dumb deal. Ricky Williams ring a bell??? Only Ditka could have strong armed th eSaints owner into that deal...and thus lost his job and set the Saints back for years. Please, Football is the ultimate team game. No one player is worth 8 players. Unless your telling me you have no clue how to evaluate talent?

for the right price. Nix knows him. So does merriman. If they think he fits into this team well i am all for it. I know Buddy wont over pay for him.

Exactly!! How many years would we as fans be going into FA having to watch our best FA sign with someone else?? Atleast this year we have decided to circle the wagons and keep one of our own...and at the right price!

Me to, if he is there after the second, trade your third and one of your fourths/fiths to grab him. To me he is a guy Gailey could have fun with. Line him up tight or flexed. He will create miss matches. Good athlete.

No someone will trade up a pick or two ahead of Buf and steal him if he lasts till then, ala Keller and the Jets from years ago.

God no. Take a tackle. If you are telling me you like Floyd because of how he looked running around in his under pants, i do not like it. Take a wr in the fourth. I think Gailey believes he can turn a somewhat talented/hardworking wr into a stud. I for one agree.

Big UGA fan. I think Orson Charles is a TE that will have a great pro career. Put him in the right offense, and this kid will succeed.

CJ? When he was th efocused back he stepped up. Carrington has been asked to play 3 different positions in two different schemes. And put on 20-30lbs. He has shown flashes of being solid. Lets see how he does if allowed to play his natural weight at his natural position(DE) this year. And Troup got hurt last year. In what would have been his second season. How about today we stay positive? I mean Buddy did just re-sign SJ for a contract we thought SJ SHOULD sign, but would not.

I agree. This deal could be a building block for the Bills being seen as a more legit franchise. Signing a good player to a fair contract. I like what Buddy is doing. 2-3 more of these types of FA signings(like Barnett from last year), and a draft as good as last years, and the Bills are back on the map.

Why would they not be? Bills re-signed a good player for a fair contract. How many times has that happened in the last 12 years?

Out of those 1) do not think Bell resigns here. He is best LT in a weak FA class. ie...someone will over pay and look past his injuries. So draft LT in round one. Like to re-sign Chandler for around $3-4mil 2) Signing Abraham to a 2 year deal for $4mil base and could reach $6-7mil based on staying healthy and production(sacks) 3) VJ is gonna take around similar numbers just paid to Stevie. $7-8. I think the Bills had $35mil to spend. With these numbers plus SJ you would be right around 24-26mil. Which should leave money for drafted players. That $35mil does not include any other players Bills may release. DE- Edwards Someone correct me if wrong on the $35 mil and needing roughly $9-10mil for drafted guys.

has the 'conditional' pick already been awarded to Buffalo for the Lynch trade?

I know Abraham is Old but he has 'situational pass rusher' written all over him. 15-20 snaps a game. The guy is in great shape at 34.Has not been injury plagued. Would be an instant upgrade over any DE the Bills have this year and probably next. He brought it the last two years. Teams will use his age for only signing a two year deal. And Biermann fits Wanny's high intensity profile. Either one of those guys would be great.

I love the SJ signing for so many reasons. First and foremost, the Bills did not overpay him. This helps set the tone for some possible other FA. The belief, by many,has been that the Bills have to 'overpay' for a player to come to Buffalo. They did not w SJ and he showed some loyalty to the Bills by not testing FA. Showing some of the other soon-to-be FA, Buffalo is a great place to play. I think Nix is a WISE old man. He has probably over paid for things in his life, like many of us have. I do not think he will over pay. No, i do not think they will make a play for Mario Williams, sorry. But they will find the 'Nick Barnett's' of FA...and that aint bad, is it?

you are 100% correct and i think we all agree with you. The problem is that this is a very weak FA Tackle class. So by default some team will most likely pay Bell baised on the fact that when healthy he has been good. They will, for the most part, over look the fact he has an injury history. Buffalo will not, and i am sure they have made him a fair offer. Its up to Bell to accept it or not.

Sounds like it is a deep year for Tackles and not so deep for DE's We all remember the '83 QB class.

I just do not like taking a wr at 10. To me if you are going to take a wr in the first it needs to be in the top 5. A Calvin Johnson or Greene from Last year. A guy you know is going to come in and be a stud. Or is the final peice for your team. I also am skeptical to take a wr from ND. ND today is not what it was when Tim Brown came out. Sign Stevie. Let Bell walk if he wants crazy money, draft your LT for the next 10 years. The mid rounds(2-4) seem to have a lot of guys in our two other need area's, WR and DE.
