Other than weather, don't understand why he'd go to Miami. There's no clear path to play Tackle and Philbin is a dead-man-walking if they don't make the playoffs. So he gets to play Guard for a mediocre team for most likely an entirely new coaching staff the following year.

If it's between us and Dolphins, I like our chances. Fins have Albert and James at Tackle, and continuity in coaching staffs is gonna be high on the priority list for a guy looking for a payday after year 3. Gotta think Philbin is on borrowed time and probably gone if they don't make playoffs. Rex and his staff probably safe for at least 3 years. And he gets to block for McCoy.

La'el Collins would look good on that depth as starting RT. Henderson probably better suited as a swing tackle right now. Given how bad Kouandjio looked last year, can't depend on much from him. Glenn, Urbik, Miller, Wood, incognito, Collins, Henderson could be a nice top 7. Since Tackles make more money on their 2nd contract, a team that can promise a good shot at the starting Right Tackle job you'd think would have best shot of landing Collins.

IMO, Leodis is the most likely player to be traded. If Whaley liked Darby that much, he isn't sitting. Lots of teams need CB's. Let's go back to the Philly well. Leodis and Manuel for Bradford.

The less the Bills have to depend on Leodis the better.

If he's open to leaving Louisiana, Bills offer him as good an opportunity as anybody else. He'd be a good fit for Bills power running attack, would start immediately, and he gets to block for one of the premier running backs. Get Pegula, Rex, and McCoy on a plane to Louisiana the second he's cleared. Maybe after everything that's happened, he wants to get away to a low-key place and focus on football.

He's an undrafted free agent, not an unrestricted free agent. There's a rookie draft pool salary cap and undrafted free agents are slotted at the league minimum and whatever modest signing bonus is allotted for undrafted free agents. If Collins is cleared, there's gonna be a mad dash to sign him. Basically getting a 1st rounder for nothing.

Randy Gregory

Until we have a good QB on the roster, Bills should seriously consider drafting a QB every year until we find one. Stop wasting time on the Manuel's and Tuel's that we already know aren't any good. Belichick has one of the all-time best QB's and he still burns 2nd and 3rd round picks on QB's hoping to find his replacement.

Dareus for Wilkerson?

Doubt it was the Bills. Pretty sure we would've taken Newton if he was available at #3, and if we had Gabbert rated almost as high, we probably would've taken Gabbert instead of Dareus. That being said, not sure Bills would've had Manuel rated much higher than this list or else we wouldn't have risked trading down and him still being available. This list does kind of confirm that Manuel wasn't much of a reach at #16.

EJ's #1 problem is that he's afraid to cut it loose. You would think Rex would be as good as any coach in making EJ pull the trigger and play with some swagger.

Interesting situation to watch. Rivers makes it sound like San diego to LA is going to happen.

At this point, I don't even care if we get him, just make Miami cut a few more players in order to sign him.

Highly doubt Bills would go public with an offer unless they were sure Clay was gonna sign it.

Seriously. This guy better be really f'in good.

Problem with front-loading the contract that much is do you trust the guy won't hold-out or be unhappy when he's only making $2-3m next year?

Thats a lot of money for a 30 year-old CB. Would've loved to land him, but probably for the best. The sequel rarely ever as good as the original.

I'm assuming if Bills sign him to an offer it will be tomorrow to get the 7 day clock ticking. Bills Front Office seems to be on their game so you gotta think they'll front-load the contract so Dolphins won't be able to match with their cap situation. Otherwise they'd needlessly be tying up a lot of cap space for a week that could go to someone else.

If we land Bulaga, any chance Cordy Glenn moves inside and Henderson slides over to LT?

Revis, Hardy on 1 year deal, then wait and sign Guard, TE, and LB who didn't strike it rich

As much as I'd like to re-sign Hughes, someone like a Hardy or Orakpo is gonna be salivating over coming here on a 1 year 'prove-it'-type deal where they can rack up sack numbers and cash in next year.

Orakpo or Hardy on a 1 year deal. Iupati. Re-sign Spikes.

I'd be shocked if Bills are able to sign a premier WR or TE in free agency. Gonna have to crazy over-pay when they'll be catching passes from Cassel, EJ or a rookie. Better to slightly over-pay for a premier Offensive Lineman.

Maybe he told Rams he has no interest in re-signing. Seems like the next couple of years could be a sh!# - show for that organization with the very real possibility they move to LA. Might be smart move for Rams to load up on future draft picks.
