filthymcnasty08 Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 Living in the NYC area, I have watched Osi for years...he has consistently been a big play pass rushing machine. He would provide an outside pass rush upgrade to any team...immediately. Also familiar with winning in the post season. Just turning 30, he has 3-5 years left at an top/elite level...possible more as a "specialist" like Jason Taylor. JPP owns one end now and Tuck the other...expensive luxury to pay Osi top $. I believe he's signed through 2012 season under a contract he's been very publicly unhappy with. Either G-Men pay him huge $ or recoup whatever value they can this offseason. Could be a trade for 1 year and the option to re-sign him, making the cost relatively low (Not sure how this works but guessing: 3rd rounder?) something else to explore/discuss in another long offseason- I like this one more than Mathis.
It's in My Blood Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 My one concern with Osi is the fact that he always has had a top tier rusher opposite of him on the line drawing the double teams. I wouldn't trade a pick higher than a 3rd and wouldn't break the bank to sign him.
mrags Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 (edited) I think it's the big splash in the offseason the team needs to make. With this and a big play WR it would show that we are prepared to make the changes and spend the money to win. I'd defenately do it for a 3rd. I'd draw the line at a 2nd.

San Jose Bills Fan Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 In addition to always having talented linemates (Strahan, Tuck, Kiwanuka, JPP, and even guys like Joseph, Canty, and on and on), Osi only played in 9 games this year. As always it simply depends on what the price tag says.
billsfan182 Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 i'd buy a umenyiora jersey in a heartbeat! no way buffalo dishes out top money for him tho.. another FA DE i belive he is this year is Cliff Avril, would love to see him in a bills uniform too
NoSaint Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 If I'm making a trade or big deal for an end, it's Mario. Give him a blank check and figure the cap out later if we are serious about a 43.
