DarthICE Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 Whaley is now in charge of pro player personnel which means not only does he sugges who to sign, but who not to including our own FA's. I would immagine Nix tasked him to not only look at upcoming FA's for Friday, but at our own roster as well and suggest to him who is worth keeping and who should be gone. More cuts right after the draft wouldn't suprise me.
Philo Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 More cuts right after the draft wouldn't suprise me. Wouldn't surprise me. The roster is going to look extremely different come September
DarthICE Posted March 2, 2010 Author Posted March 2, 2010 Wouldn't surprise me. The roster is going to look extremely different come September Thank God!

eball Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 That's Whaley's job, and I think you HAVE to assume he played a significant role in those decisions.
JStranger76 Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 Not only do I agree with there will be cuts after the draft, but also I believe some moves like trades won't happen until during the draft. Gotta see how it unfolds first.......
Saint Doug Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 This is good. He is a non-biased observer, with an allegiance to our team not old players, who now will clean out the dead wood.
mrags Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 I would have liked to see TO resigned. He fills a need at WR instead of creating a hole. They better be sure about Hardy and Johnson.
SawchukBills Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 Thank God! I second that! Isn't this what everyone has been calling for since the Jauron era?
SawchukBills Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 I would have liked to see TO resigned. He fills a need at WR instead of creating a hole. They better be sure about Hardy and Johnson. The money saved will hopefully go to landing an immediate starter at a position of need (OT,NT,QB)

His Input was high I would bet.I think one Bills drive is going to be a Slaughter house this spring. and in a twisted way It will be a breath of fre sh air!!
DarthICE Posted March 2, 2010 Author Posted March 2, 2010 Agreed to all the above. I like the fact a guy that spent 10 years seeing how a damn good franchise is ran, is coming in with NO ties whatso ever to our current players and cutting their worthless asses. As for as TO is concerned, Revis called TO a Scrub I believe. Said he is really easy to defend one on one. The guy is done, he isn't worth the money and isn't that good anymore.

BuffaloBaumer Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 Whaley very well might turn out to be the best hire this team has made over the past 20 years. Anyone who wanted an up and coming GM with youth on his side might have their prayers answered in this guy. Obviously too early to tell but Whaley has seen the right way on how to get things done and I would not be surprised if he was GM within 3 years. He left the Steelers because he wanted to start building from the ground level so look for him to really make his mark on the Buffalo Bills over the next couple years. Hopefully he takes his knowledge that he has learned from others around him and turns out to be the diamond in the rough that Buffalo has been looking for since Polian left.
WisconsinBillzFan Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 I don't think there was any discussion at all-these moves were no brainers.
Hard Hat Bill Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 I trust that he did. Just read his interview from the combine..... singular vision on team, division wins etc.....I don't how this plays out, but for me, IMO, the Nix/Gailey/Whaley approach to football basics, while not sexy, leads to solid football and wins, begining in the trenches. Frankly, for all of us, we won't have a chance to play pro-ball.... It is an honor and a privelige and I want every member of the Bills to get that point. So when Nix/Gailey/Whaley start with that approach then I say "Bring it on" Finally.........

I think Whaley has great potential as a GM and hope that he takes over for Nix in the near future. Nothing against Nix, I would just like to see Whaley pan out.
bkc Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 there is a bunch for currernt and former steelers available . Mostly rotational types . I wonder if he brings some on board to help the rebuilding process.
BillnutinHouston Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 If Whaley didn't have any say, then, um, WHY did they hire him?
apuszczalowski Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 I think reeds production, or lack there of, spoke for itself Wasn't his production in the top 10 for the Bills all time for WR's? He wasn't flashy and had previous problems with drops, but he was decent and a pretty goos 3rd/4th WR for the Bills
