bills_red Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Something like this would make me happy. QB - Tyler Thigpen 3 years , $7.5 million Yr.1 - $3 , Yr.2 - $2.5 , Yr.3 - $2 Becomes the #2 QB. TE - Kevin Boss 4 years , $17.5 million Yr.1 - $5 , Yr.2 - $4.5 , Yr.3 - $4 , Yr.4 - $4 When was the last time we had a nice TE? RT - Marshal Yanda 6 years, $36 million Yr.1 - $7 , Yr.2 - $6 , Yr.3 - $6 , Yr.4 - $6 , Yr.5 - $5.5 , Yr.6 - $5.5 We need a RT bad, word is Yanda would like to stay in BAL but if we throw some money at him I think he'd come. OT - David Mims - Virginia Union Practice Squad DE - Brandon Bair - Oregon Practice Squad DE/OLB - Steven Friday - Virginia Tech Practice Squad ILB - Paul Posluszny 6 years, $35 million Yr.1 - $7 , Yr.2 - $6 , Yr.3 - $5.5 , Yr.4 - $5.5 , Yr.5 - $5.5 , Yr.6 - $5.5 ILB - Mark Herzlich - Boston College Practice Squad CB - Drayton Florence 2 years, $10 million Yr.1 - $5 , Yr.2 - $5 CB - Kendric Burney - North Carolina Practice Squad S - Jeron Johnson - Boise State Practice Squad
mattsox Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 That would be a start. They need alot of work. We need the best QB available. Best 2 TEs available as far as I'm concerned. We haven't had one since Jay Riemersma. Def need a RT.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 This certainly is a far-fetched scenario, but I like your optimism. I think the likelihood of signing both Kendric Burney and Mark Herzlich as UDFA's is unlikely, as they are two of the most sought after prospects of this group. I like the idea if signing Marshal Yanda because of his versatility. IMO...he could quite capably play RT or RG which would be beneficial given the uncertainty at these two positions. In addition to what you have proposed, I would like to see the Bills bring in an UDFA QB. Perhaps Ben Chappell from Indiana or Adam Weber from Minnesota.

We haven't had one since Jay Riemersma. Def need a RT. As long as we sign both Draton and Poz and add to them with players like you mentioned I woul dbe happy. Would love Zach Miller as TE.
section122 Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Boss will make much more many than this and it seems all of your contracts decrease from year to year. I like the players targeted but don't think the numbers add up.. I believe boss will command 5-6 mill in year one, also think florence will want more than a 2 year deal as he has stated this is his last chance for a big deal.
bills1960 Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 I think Kevin Boss is a very realistic option. Disregarding the report Chris Brown made, Boss is a wickedly underrated player at his position and we really wouldn't have to break the bank. I also like the Thigpen signing, but I wouldn't rule out Vince Young.

Ben or Adam would be a nice get Boss will make much more many than this and it seems all of your contracts decrease from year to year. I like the players targeted but don't think the numbers add up.. I believe boss will command 5-6 mill in year one, also think florence will want more than a 2 year deal as he has stated this is his last chance for a big deal. I don't think Boss gets more than 5 per year. Yes they do with all the cap space we and other teams have I think there will be a lot of front loaded deals to get to the cap floor. Yea D-flo wants more than 2 years but he is 30 and I don't want to give him anything more than 2 yrs at 5 mill per.
Defend Greece Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 I Like Andre smith From b. Smiths Alma mater. He could solve the te and rt situation by himself

bills1960 Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 No he's not. Everyone knows about him. Secrets out and he's no longer an underrated player. Underrated may be a reach. But he won't require as much money as Zach Miller.
