simpleman Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 (edited) My wish list of FA who might be within our budget and fit our needs. All have a few years ahead of them, as they are young. Comments? Pierre Garcon Position: WR Age: 25 ( unfortunately probably will go where Peyton goes) Curtis Lofton Position: MLB Age: 25 Jason Jones Position: DT Age: 25 John Carlson Position: TE Age: 27 Terrell Thomas Position: CB Age: 26 If you could fill a few holes with a couple of these you could draft an OT with our # 10, if we can’t trade down. Hope Curry is there in the 2nd. Edited March 10, 2012 by simpleman
Pete Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 Carl Nicks G Saints. Sleeper pick. One of top guards in game. Levitre-Wood-Nicks would control line scrimmage. Resign Bell and put Hairston at RT= great offensive line. And we could devote entire draft to defense and one WR Not to mention, that is one young line. Keep them together the next 5 years and we should be set at oline
BillsGuyInMalta Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 (edited) I'm willing to bet good money that Robert Meachem becomes our #2 receiver. He's a speedster with a lot of talent but hasn't played up to it. I'm not going to say he's my ideal FA signing, but he's the most realistic "Bills choice" guy I can think of. I would also say that Garcon fits that bill but there are rumors he was looking for a FA contract bigger than what Stevie got so you can cross him right off the list for the sheer insanity of that if its true. Also keep an eye on Manny Lawson, the OLB out of Cincy. I think the only "big name" FA the Bills go after is one of the CBs, Carr or Finnegan. I doubt they get either, but they'll at least attempt it. Edited March 10, 2012 by BillsGuyBackInMalta
DreamOnDan Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 Laurent Robinson WR Dal Brandon Lloyd WR StL Mario Manningham WR NYG Kyle Orton QB KC Chad Henne QB MIA John Carlson TE SEA these are some sleepers on offense that will be second tier players that would fill an important role on this team
NeverOutNick Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 I like Meachem's speed and big play ability but that guy drops a lot of passes. I would be happy if we got him but happier if we got Laurent Robinson or Garcon
Danny Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 I like Meachem's speed and big play ability but that guy drops a lot of passes. I would be happy if we got him but happier if we got Laurent Robinson or Garcon Really? I could have sworn I read somewhere his drop percentage is less than Colstons. Could be wrong on that.. Ill try to find the link.
H2o Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 I like Meachem's speed and big play ability but that guy drops a lot of passes. I would be happy if we got him but happier if we got Laurent Robinson or Garcon Neither of the two dropped more than 5 passes last season. They didn't even make the drops listing, but David Nelson did: http://scores.nbcsports.msnbc.com/fb/leaders.asp?range=AFC&type=Receiving&rank=232&year= A WR is going to drop a ball every once in a while, that's a fact, unless you're Larry Fitzgerald or Jerry Rice. Those types of players are very few and far between I would say. Welker had, arguably, the biggest drop of them all. I would still like to have him on our team.
SelmonSmith6378 Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 There is not a single player on that list that I'd want as a Bill. Kyle Orton, Carl Nicks and Brandon Lloyd would be my main realistic free agents who I'd like to sign
John from Riverside Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 With the full court press that the bills players are making with Vincent Jackson.....I think it is realistic we could get him..... I would like to get Vincent Jackson and Kambron Wimbley..... I dont see another high profile TE in free agency.....not with Chandler signed......I also dont see corners. If you get a quality WR and DE in free agency....it allows us to either take BPA or even trade down and take a linebacker

I would be happy if we got him but happier if we got Laurent Robinson or Garcon No he doesn't. Where do you get that from? On a side note, Carl Nix is my sleeper pick for the Bills.

RyanC883 Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 (edited) Laurent Robinson WR Dal Brandon Lloyd WR StL Mario Manningham WR NYG Kyle Orton QB KC Chad Henne QB MIA John Carlson TE SEA these are some sleepers on offense that will be second tier players that would fill an important role on this team Would love to land Lloyd and Robinson. Imagine that WR set w/ Stevie and sometimes CJ and Chandler. Doubt its affordable, but then we could draft an OT and all D. Edited March 10, 2012 by RyanC883
aristocrat Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 Curtis Lofton would be great for our defense, abraham on the line and meachem opposite stevie. draft an olb and our defense looks great.
