If you don't understand how saying factual information is wrong is a bad joke, then you will never hear anything more than crickets. And if you think you fix one of the worst defenses by losing one of your better players, than that is terrible logic. IF your defense sucks, you rid of your worst players, not the best ones. If you rid your best players, you get even worse. But ya know, you don't follow simple logic. it is sad.

Davis would be the starter for sure. Sheppard won't take over unless davis or Burnett gets injured. That is, if we sign burnett. Davis is a good player. He just isn't a playmaker and he got injured last year. But he is a legit starter and isn't a scrub like we have at quite a few of our positions.

looks like falcons are going to resign clabo. They are still talking, and it is optimistic for them, so far.

Poz makes better tackles than you make jokes, that's for sure. Your post STILL makes no sense, no matter how you spin it. And if they do sign burnett, that would be awesome. Instant upgrade over poz.

Fwiw, Someone sent this tweet to merriman, and he retweeted himself on his twitter: might be a sign that he might try to influence some. and with buddy's influence, it might be possible. Would be even cooler if we signed two of them.

Kyle Williams isn't a true NT, but the guy plays the position great, even if it isn't the normal way and he isn't as big. The biggest problem with the defense last year was Stroud at DE, and pretty much all the LBs. Poz was pretty good, but the guy wasn't a playmaker. He looked better than he did because all the other LBs sucked so bad. Moats showed he is pretty cool as a pass rusher, but hasn't proved much as the run goes. With that said, losing poz sucks, because he was our best LB on the team. We have to either hope that Shepard is fast learner or hope they find someone decent to replace him.

Would be funny if I wasn't a bills fan. But I was thinking the same thing.

yay! let's hang our season on unproven talent against the nfl's elite! that always works!

You don't have to make a "splash" in free agency to grab good starters. Just because they aren't going after Asomugha or santonio holmes doesn't mean they aren't going to improve the team.

really only the top 25-30 are the high level ones. After that, the rest are pretty affordable. fwiw, florence is 65. I would think any player on that list below 30 is game for the bills, as far as spending goes (though I don't agree with the list where some players are). I would personally like them to sign harper, to replace whitner. The guy is pretty solid. He is like whitner, but he doesn't B word on twitter and he is going to cost less.

it makes sense, but it is vague. He is just saying that harrison has former team mates that have already signed with the saints and steelers. players from all teams are signing with all nfl teams. it isn't anything breaking. Thought we would have signed more than one player by now though. edit actually, we signed 2. yay.....

If the bills had a decent front office, they would find a way to sign heap before they are allowed to. duh.

sign jenkins, cut spencer. easy upgrade

Yeah, I doubt they will sign him. But I am pretty sure they are going to sign some more line depth. Troup just hastn't developed enough yet and makes me nervous. But the majority of the players we grab will be camp fodder anyway. If they grab at least 2 starters, I would conisder it a victory. If they sign one, I will be content. If they sign no one of starting caliber to upgrade the team, I will sigh and just hope for the best. But whatever happens, I am ready for some football! No way I see that. Carrington is only useful in pass rushing situations. The guy showed promise and a few sparks, but he didn't do enough last year to earn the starting job from a proven vet.

agreed with this, but I wouldn't be surprised if the bills don't sign any "real" talent. But that whole ranking of free agents is more media lingo than things you would hear from an nfl front office. We don't have much longer to wait.

Exactly. It really looks like the executiive committee for the players didn't keep the players updated on much of anything, and tried to cram everything in the last minute. But the accusation of "the owners slipped things in secretly" is looking less likely. The player reps haven't even seen the document yet, so how would these other players even know that secret things were slipped in??? sounds like they are pulling it out of thin air. And now that smith and co have gone over the document the owners ratified, they don't seem to hate it all that much. I expect a vote tomorrow.

Come on man. That would give us a winning season. Those are illegal for the Bills.

That is quite a hunch.

No way we get Doug Free. That would be too amazing, and super expensive. Thomas Howard is an interesting option that hasn't been beaten to death like the others. yet.

hahahahaha but in all seriousness, his blocking really is terrible.

You aren't reading what people are saying. People have nothing against poz, they are making fun of people that keep on siting the "bleacher report." Siting the bleacher report is just... silly. Most people here like poz, even the people posting here. They aren't complaining about poz, they are mocking the people that site the bleacher report, which is exactly the same as site TSD posts. You are getting angry at nothing. No one in here is hating on poz, at least not openly. You REALLY need to calm down.

The GMs aren't the only ones that don't beleive him. Though it is hard to tell what will happen with this type of free agency. I don't expect anything much, because the bills usually wait it out and are patient during free agency, which just won't work this year. If they grab just one decent starter (hopefully RT or TE), then I would consider it a victory since more than likely they might not get a decent starter in FA this year, just because it is going to be so fast paced and they just aren't aggressive enough.

No one is talking to the players or the agents (legally). But the front office has said what they plan to do, which is resign poz and florence, and maybe whitner. Then there have been leaks about other players they are targeting. Just because they say they are targeting a player, doesn't mean they are talking to them. They have openly said they are targeting poz, but I am sure as hell they aren't talking to him right now.

I'd be surprised if Herzlich comes here. He will probably get a ton of offers. Though I was surprised last year when we nabbed Coleman. So I guess it's not impossible.

How is my post saying that wrotto, urbik, and wang should only be depth options, and if they don't improve, they should be cut all together, has ANYTHING to do with what you are talking about in this post?
