This would be a come-up for the Bills! I'd love to sign Tatupa!

I thought Bunkley was traded to the Browns? Am I wrong?

There's a flip side to that as well, now Barnett can sign with Seattle.

We have young guys, they can learn while they're riding the pine for a year or two. Barnett would be a stop gap guy. +1

Just shut up with that crap!!!! This thread can get me banned again.

Someone PLEASE delete this cursed thread and quick, too, before Falcons fans have a chance to read this pathetic crap.

LOL! Did we crash their board? I can't get in!! Falcons fans got nothing on us!!!

PLEASE!!!! For real!!!! The anger over the Smith signing would subside for me if we land Clabo!

Maybe he's just using the Bills to get more money?

IMO, the Bills are not going after Clabo, Burnett, or anyone else that has been reported. When the Bills sign someone it's usually an off the radar guy that no one expected. I have tempered my enthusiasm when it comes to these other guys that are being rumored to have the Bills' interest.

The old age at OBD has finally cost us! Whaley was locked out of his office and didn't have a key, so he began to shout, "we need a locksmith, a locksmith", and Buddy thought he said Brad Smith. So he signed him. Clown on me all you like, but I would feel better if I heard that this was the story of how it all went down, because there is no logical explanation for signing B. Smith. NONE!!! PERIOD!!!! That money can be better utilized elsewhere and I love the receivers and returners we already have, and so should they.

What a stupid, stupid signing! This must mean Evans is getting the boot. I hate this pick-up with a passion. Is this a cost cutting move so that the Bills don't have to re-sign Stevie Johnson, next year? WTF!!! What about Clabo? Burnett? Miller? Boss?

LOL!!!! That didn't take long!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7PgJkGK9Ho&feature=related I hope we sign him! Especially now that Reggie Bush is now in Miami.

You can structure the contract any way you see fit in the NFL.

Speaking of Tony G, didn't he turn the Bills down when we were 3 & 1 a couple of years ago? People don't want to come here! Plain and simple. Until we prove that we can compete for a playoff spot.

Who says they aren't trying? Maybe nobody wants to come to Buffalo. Maybe Nix is just trying to save face when he says they aren't gonna be huge players in free agency. How would it look if Nix told the world he was going to go out and make a big splash in free agency only to find out that no one wants to be here? Like it or not, this is the strategy the Bills are going with, what sense does it make to complain about it? We can whine and cry all we like but that isn't going to change the way things are done in OBD.

It could be and of course Miller would be a huge upgrade, but has Gailey ever had a great tight end? Not being a jerk here, honest question. Did Gailey ever have a tight end that he utilized with other teams? That answered my question. I forgot all about Tony G.

Are you implying that the Bills can compete in free agency, with a team that plays near New York city? A big market like that is very hard to compete with, especially for a city like Buffalo. Not to mention the charisma Rex Ryan has compared to Gailey.

TE's aren't a big part of Gailey's offense. Why would we break the bank to bring one in?

I agree with you completely. The offensive line is one area we should go after, this year, and hard! Offensive lineman, for the most part, aren't primadonnas looking for big cities and attention like all the skill position players. We can compete for offensive lineman with all the other teams in the league. We might have to pay them more for their services, but they can be signed. So far the Bills haven't let anyone of their picks leave, under Nix's watch, that we shouldn't have let leave. He's doing the right thing, so far. In the future, we do need to re-sign our own as long as they are worth it.

Buddy Nix has been in control of only two of those drafts. He needs more time and shouldn't be held liable for the other regimes. Plus, we made a huge change to a 34 and that will take some time. We're almost there. We have our DE's, DT's hopefully 3 out of 4 linebacker spots filled and our secondary will be okay if we re-sign Drayton. Next draft we can fill in the rest of the spots and then hit free agency.

I'd also like to add that we are only one day into free agency and so far no one can argue that the Bills are doing things the wrong way. Letting Poz go for that price was the right thing to do. He isn't a difference maker and at that price, he should be. Let's see how the rest of the week plays out before we hang the Bills' front office.

It wont take that long. It will take a year or two, though. Ask yourself this question, with all things being considered equal, financially, why would any free agent sign with the Bills over someone else? We don't win, it's cold, and Buffalo is a small time city that many people don't like, (not a knock against B-Lo, as far as I'm concerned, I love Buffalo). Why would they come here? Draft well, win 8 or 9 games then pounce all over free agency. It's a painful strategy that takes time but it's the only way. Winning puts us back on the map and the draft will have to be the route that gets us there. Free agents aren't coming to Buffalo unless you WAY OVER-PAY, and that isn't the wisest thing to do.
