No doubt Eugene Parker is playing the same game with Byrd as he did with Peters. If so, I hope the Bills let Byrd sit and rot. If he will not sign the tender, let him sit. They will still own his rights come next year. I would love to keep him, but they should not allow themselves to be held hostage.

Will this nonsense never stop?

With both Kelsey and Shep gone, who will be the new favorite whipping boys of TSW? I like what this coaching staff are doing with purging players that do not fit either scheme or culture or both. Very encouraging.

You may find it funny, but I do not think anyone with even a partial brain would prefer you were making decisions for the Bills. Given that your "expert analysis" thus far in this thread amounts amounts to "I know you are but what am I", I would be surprised if you are allowed out of the house without a helmet.

I think they intend Williams to be a FS, not SS. That said, I expect all these guys will play multiple roles. They will keep at least 9 DBs. I expect they will add multiple UDFAs to the mix as well.

Swope was nt there.

Like many others, the Bills did not do what he thinks they should have (pick Geno Smith at 8 in this case) so he is having a hissy fit. Typical. Given all the debate and disagreement by fans on TSW leading up to the draft on pick a QB or not, which one to pick, etc, this is not surprising. Personally, I am much more comfortable leaving that decision to the people who get paid for it. They needed a QB, they extensively evaluated the options, and made the choice. It will be an interesting year at the very least, but I feel very good about the draft so far, especially Manuel.

Which is why you are a poster on a fan message board and not an NFL scout.

Very good question

BPA @ TE. Ertz would be great BPA @ WR hopefully Woods Just say no to Honey Badger. We do not need a midget CB who is a head cae

Tebow is not nor has ever been a better QB than anyone.

Impressive. Nicely done.

Noooooooooo....

The Revis deal has pretty much eliminated the trade down strategy to pick a QB later, unless either the Jets use the 13th pick to jump higher than 9 in the first round, or the Bills can move down to no later than 12. The jets will pick a QB with 13 if they keep it.

Lighten up already. It is only April. People are excited to something happening on the field. Nobody is predicting Superbowl or anything.

That is his reputation among Bills fans, and it all may be true to some extent, but it would never make him more than a 4th WR at best. Nelson was most effective in the 2011 season playing from the hybrid role, usually with three true WRs on the field. In this Gailey formation, Nelson was difficult to cover, often got mismatches due to his size and the need for the primnary DBs to cover other receivers. He was basically an undersized TE. Once Nelson was forced into the slot due to injuries, his production went way down. He started 2012 as the designated slot guy, but was hurt so early we will never know if he would have been effective. I suspect not. Maybe he will prove me wrong in Cleveland but I would not bet on it, despite his good hands and route running. The Bills needed an upgrade. I am not sure if Dickerson is it, but I do see potential because of his superior speed and bulk.

Exactly. Dickerson offers great flexibility as he can line up at H- Back, TE, or slot and has very good speed. He is a couple inches shorter than Nelson, but faster and heavier making him much more valuable potentially than Nelson was in essentially the same role.

I think it is highly unlikely any of the top 4 or 5 QBs are on the board at 41. Waiting for a player to drop into the right slot is why the Bills have failed at getting a young QB for the past 3 years. They either need to pick who they want at 8, or trade back into the first, or trade down in the first and pick there. I would prefer they not screw around and just go ahead and take who they want at 8. If Buddy tries to get cute, they will likely lose out again. Trading back into the first would be costly and they need the picks, so I do not see that.

What do his teammates think of him? They think he is a selfish, arrogant POS - because he is.

If you have not noticed, every post by this person is equally random and meaningless. Troll with a capital T.

The guy has been accused of rape on more than one occasion. I did not nor do I wish I had raped a woman in college. How about you? Spare me the excuses, and the "he is just a target" BS. He is a scumbag, pure and simple.

I don't think so. There is no more evidence that Matt Flynn can be a quality starter than for any of the rookies. In fact, it could be argued that after 5 years in the NFL, there is adequate evidence to suggest he is a career back up. If you are looking for a veteran to compete with Jackson and a rookie to buy time for a rookie to learn, why give up a draft pick of any kind for this guy when Kolb is available as a free agent and has much more of a track record.

I don't see any sense is trading draft choices for an unproven QB like Flynn. Bad move. Kolb could be worth signing if the deal was right.

I would hate this. Flynn has done nothing to indicate he can be a reliable starter and no reason to believe he would be an upgrade over Fitz.. If he were a free agent he would be worth a look, but no way the Bills should trade draft choices for him. It would be nice to see one of the teams ahead of the Bills in draft order pick him up, taking out one more competitor for the QBs in the draft.

The Skins have close to zero cap room at this point. Unlikley to sign there unless no one else is interested.
