Sounds like it could be a nice little signing. Nothing Earth shattering but these are the signings that really round out a roster.

People have to stop thinking that the Vikings are going to trade both 1st to trade up. The more likely trade down with the Vikings would be 23 this year, 52 this year, their 6th, and a 3rd next year (they have an extra one form the Seahawks next year). That's 15 spots for a 2nd, 6th, and a 3rd next year. Seems much more plausible than 2 firsts.

I would be all for it, the Bills have so many needs would say their 1st this year (Duh) 1st next year, 2nd this year, and a 5th this year and they can trade up from 30 to 8. I would love for the Bills to trade down to 13 and get an extra 3rd and 6th from Tampa and then trade down with the Falcons for their 1st this and next year plus a third. I know its highly unlikely the Bills could get the 30th, 60th, and 77th picks plus a 1st next year and have 5 picks in the first 77 this year plus net additional late rounders and a 1st in their back pocket next year. But its pre draft so why not dream?

Makes sense I guess, guy didn't seem to be cutting it as a corner and we need a SS. With Gilmore the number one, McKelvin at the slot, and Brooks at the dime maybe they see something with Justin Rodgers.

Well its only two picks their 3rd and 5th to move from 13th to 8th. I think its reasonable although I think it would more likely be a 6th instead of a 5th. But a 3rd and a 6th for 5 spots not a bad trade if there is a guy Tampa really wants.

No way the Vikings give up a first to move up 10 spots maybe they give you their second at best. Trade down with Tampa is reasonable thought

I actually think the Bills are going to avoid drafting a QB in the first three rounds but go heavy on offense. I would like to see WR and TE be the Bills first two picks then draft a OL round 3. Not that Kolb/Jackson is at all a good QB combo but I think that this QB class is so bad that the Bills want no part of it and that they would rather get targets for a QB this year so that next year when they draft a QB he has good tools to work with.

I think the players who get paid by game would have their whole pay check taxed. However if you are hourly or salary its only the hours you work in that state. A lot of people in my company deal with this and they say that very few people are impacted by this because if your company designates your pay a certain way then it won't impact you all that much if at all. Its really the state were you live and were your company is headquartered.

1- Revis wants to be the highest paid defensive player in the league. 2- It would cost us a substantial package of picks 3- The Jets aren't going to trade him within the division 4- He is coming off an ACL injury. Tampa and the Jets are going to make this move before the draft. No need for the Bills to dump picks and a big contract into this guy.

I think you can take guard off the list, Nix is going to just snatch up a waiver wire player or pluck one of the remaining free agents on the cheap. I also think you can take QB off of the list, Not because we are set but because they are going to pass on this years QB class and just go with Kolb or Jackson. I also don't see a glaring need at RT, Pears or Hariston are viable options. Were I see desperate needs are WR, TE, and MLB and unless we get a trade down I see the first three picks going there. Then maybe a mid rounder on the O-line. The team needs good targets around the QB for any QB to be successful. I see the teams real deficiencies at LB and at targets. Yes QB is always the number one issue but there is no need to burn a pick on a lousy QB class when we can fix other issues and then go after a QB next year.

I would like to think the reason Pettine isn't grabbing a bunch of ex-Jets is because he likes what he has to work with here and he doesn't think the guys the Jets released would be an upgrade over what we have. I still think one of the ex-Jet LB's like Scott or Pace will be brought in on the cheap to be depth and help teach the system but outside of that not much.

TD made good moves and built a strong defense. But for every good move TD made he made two bad ones. He brought Takeo Spikes, Sam Adams, Miloy, London, and drafted Clements Evans and Schobel and trade Price for a 1st. But TD let Pat Williams go (A move that set us back 5 years). drafted Losman, drafted Reed, drafted McGahee, traded a 1st for Bledsoe, drafted Mike Williams, drafted Parrish, let Winfield walk, and seemed incapable of finding good players at vital positions. Overall TD made a lot of big moves but his success rate was far below what it needed to be.

Too much of a distraction, don't need that on team.

Brandon Moore and Dansby would be nice stop gaps one or two year deals. We could use Dansby as we are uber thin at MLB and we could use a guard and Moore would be a nice stop gap (Draft one late but sit them for a year). Outside of those guys I don't see too much out there.

Its gotta be a mentality before it becomes a reality. You know who said that? Ric Flair a 16 time world heavyweight champion. You always have to think in terms of success.

This is a lot like the time they signed Albert Haynesworth and traded for Chad 85. They were such great moves to trade for washed up players on the decline. The genius Belicheat hasn't turned too many of these washed up players into gold lately. Even with Kelly the Raider run defense wasn't any good in fact it was very poor despite the fact that Richard Seymour was there.

Best of luck in relative terms I guess. Good to see he is still in the league and will get a chance to carve out a career in the league. Still think we should have kept him but I at least see the logic in not bringing him back.

I watched Travaris Jackson when he was with the Vikings routinely miss wide open receivers 15 yards away with zero pressure on him. My brother and dad are diehard Vikings fans and they hated Jackson sooooo much. Jackson use to play for The Seahawks Branch was there that year too. I think it stems from that, Jackson battled it out through injuries for the Seahawks in a forgettable 7-9 season were Jackson threw for about 3000 yards and 14 TD over 13 INT's (Along with 5 lost fumbles). Branch was there and I think he wants to help his former teammate out. I don't think TJ is a bad backup QB to have but by no means would I ever consider starting him unless there were injuries at the QB position.

Sounds like he would be a good pick in the second round if we went QB or defense in the first round. I would really like a trade down lots of good talent deep in the draft.

If we trade way down to the late teens or twenties I can see Warmack being a good pick as likely trading down 10+ spots would net us an extra 2nd rounder or more which would give us two second rounders to fill other needs while plugging the hole at guard. 8th overall I would be too high to replace a good player like Levitre at a position were you can find players in later rounds.

For the right price I would bring him in. Hariston and Pears don't make me think we are set at RT.

Wouldn't mind bringing him in if he wasn't such a headcase. Guy has too many off the field issues for us to take a chance on him

The salary cap stayed flat and the few teams that had money spent it early on the elite free agents. The rest of the teams that had little or moderate money to spend held off and now supply has exceeded demand. Next year the cap is slated to go up, so a lot of players are taking one year deals in order to hit the market next year when they feel there will be bigger deals available. Simply put its a buyers market.

Team could use depth, 1 year minimum deal wouldn't be the worst thing but for a older player coming off an injury and at best was just solid nothing to be upset about if the Bills pass.

I think Levitre should have been higher that's about it.
