Levitre might have been overpaid but he was/is a good player, I doubt this is anything serious. Hope he does well guy was a trooper for the Bills never forget football is a business take the money while you can get it.

There is also about 5-7 million the Bills could unload this season, there are also a couple of future releases that could ease cap space going forward. I don't see the cap being an issue going forward.

They hopefully will be versatile enough to combat no huddle offenses by changing their attack towards them on the fly.

How about we at least see this rookie class play before we become overly optimistic about what they might be able to accomplish.

Troupe is in his make or break year, he will get a fair shot at making the roster as a back up linemen. After a decent rookie year Troupe was poised to show what he would develop into and he has been hurt the last two years. After a lengthy injury battle hopefully he is healthy he could give the D-line some depth.

I think the article is pointing out that out of the 6 players over 30 a few are likely to be cut thus making the team younger. I suspect at least 2 of those players and up to 4 could get cut. Its more so that a young team could be getting younger due to their older players being on the bubble as oppose to it being a direct movement.

Lindell is a goner, Tjax on the bubble, B.Scott likely gone, but Pears and Freddie should be safe.

Good space eater somewhat stout against the run not a good pass rusher. His biggest knock was that he didn't rush the passer. But the Pats* defense did see a uptick being a pretty good defense against the run as he and Wilfork were a good combination up the middle. If he still wants to play I wouldn't mind bringing him in. Team seems to be pretty thin on the D-line. Dareus, Branch, and K.Williams and Carrington are a good group but I don't expect much from Troup and we could use another big body.

Exactly people seem to always think that if you are not AJ Green or Meagtron then you aren't a number one receiver.

The Bills have just beaten the optimism out of me. I will believe it when I see it.

Should be a strong possibility although its going to depend on how many starts he gets if Marrone holds him out 6 starts its going to be hard to see him winning over a player who played well over the course of a year.

Odds are the guy might still be getting adjusted to being back out there on the field (Remember the college season end 5 months ago). Its also rookie camp who gives a ****.

Easley was a special teams standout in college that might help his chances. I hope he goes through camp healthy guy seems like he has over come a lot of injuries guy deserves a chance to make it.

Bart Scott is still a free agent, wouldn't be a bad guy to bring in as a backup. We are really devoid of depth at MLB, and it helps that he knows the new defensive system.

Brad Smith, Lindell, and T.Jax make the most sense. Out of the three I don't see Brad Smith going anywhere till next season for one reason we have a lot of youth at the skill positions and Smith provides a lot of versatility and experience esp if Marrone would like to do 4 wide sets often. Unless the three young receivers and TJ all show up huge in camp I can see Smith staying but he is certainly on the bubble. Lindell good as gone 3 million saved, T.Jax likely gone 1.75 towards the cap saved. Pears and Smith I think stay but Smith is far from 100%.

The 13 million includes Byrd's franchise tag number.

I think Dareus will at the very least return to where he was towards the end of his rookie year a very good defensive linemen. But what I hope is he breaks out to be a dominant player though. He needs to develop into the anchor for the defensive line, if him and Kyle put together good seasons and Branch and Carrington make solid contributions we could be looking at a really good front 7. My only concern is depth we go 4 deep on the D-line, I would really like to see the Bills bring in a vet NT or DE to add some depth to the D-line. And of course MLB seems like they should at the very least add some depth there a guy like Dansby would be ideal as I think he would be a starter but even a guy like Bart Scott could at least be a backup.

I wouldn't mind it, but I would prefer they didn't just seems like its unnecessary.

One thing I like about the EJ pick is how well researched it seemed. They liked the bad weather workout, the big hands, the cannon arm, the accuracy, the mobility, and his size. They seemed to know what made QB's in bad weather successful and EJ fit that mold. I don't know if EJ will be successful but I like the qualities they sought out in EJ.

Mario Williams has to know you can't be seasonal.

Well we did have Lynch and Freddie at the time so drafting CJ was at the time was a luxury when there were so many other needs for a team devoid of talent at a lot of positions. I am just saying while CJ was a good pick because he is a good player but had we found a good player at another position that pick could have been more useful.

I have a Dareus, looking to buy a Bruce Smith jersey soon.

We are suckers until proven otherwise. Its just hard to buy into anything without seeing any results.

2010 seemed like it was a great draft with Gronk and Hernandez and possibly McCourty. 2011 I wouldn't call anything special Solder been solid but those RB's they drafted have been OK and the rest of the draft meh. 2012 jury still out. Pats* draft has been better but I wouldn't say they have been knocking it out of the park.

RG3 makes me think that Fred Davis doesn't feel too bad about not having EJ or Kolb throwing to him.
