WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 Important question: how much cap room do we have now?
HurlyBurly51 Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 Nix said the Bills will be done with FA by tomorrow. That was based on getting Meachem and MW.
Alphadawg7 Posted March 15, 2012 Author Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) Manningham's 2010 stat line: 60/944/9 And that was as essentially as a #3 with Nicks and Cruz there Edited March 15, 2012 by Alphadawg7
Ramius Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 He actually did. "We’d like to be out of the (free agent) business by Friday," Nix told WGR-AM via Buffalobills.com. "The big splash for us could be over in a week." They'd like to, if they get the guys they want. Doesn't mean they will be done by tomorrow. You think if manningham is still on the market on saturday the Bills are all of a sudden going to drop out of the race for him?
Rob's House Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 And that was as essentially as a #3 with Nicks and Cruz there Victor Cruz didn't catch a pass that year
filthymcnasty08 Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 Victor Cruz didn't catch a pass that year Cruz went down in the preseason for the entire year Nicks was out for 3 games MM was the #1 receiver for 3 games/#2 for the rest. Great 1/2 outside option with him and stevie....then Nelson in the slot. This would be amazing....Hope hes not looking for #1 WR $$$
The Rev.Mattb74 ESQ. Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 I would like them to bring in Winston, then trade up for Blackmon.
Maury Ballstein Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 Flynn is looking for a starting gig and money. We won't get him. QB isn't an issue right now. We need a LT, another WR, and more depth QB is definetly an issue now IMO. Fitz played terrible after week 5ish last year. I will grant a year's pass over the alledged "rib" injury, I don't think we will see much better this year. I hope I am wrong but Fitz is what he is a career backup.....I will be glad to eat some crow on this one
Alphadawg7 Posted March 15, 2012 Author Posted March 15, 2012 Victor Cruz didn't catch a pass that year My bad, did not see the 2010 as opposed to 2011...
Doc Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 They're obviously not done, seeing as how they've contacted Manningham.
Cmmd Ackbar Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 Dwight Freeny for the best Dline in the league
PDaDdy Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) Mario signing is PHENOMENAL!!!! Also, sends a major message to other FA's... So now that this deal is done, who is next? Who would you like to see us target next? I would like Flynn and Manningham to be considered... YAAAAA....let's get a back up QB who might not be any better than what we have when you put him in OUR system with OUR WR core. Flynn was damn good for one game but had the entire Packers team and their AWESOME WR core around him!!!! Anyhow, Manningham could be had. The bucket is a little empty at WR but Manningham would be an upgrade no doubt. Unfortunately a bunch of WRs have already been locked up. The real answer at WR may already be on the roster if Easley can stay healthy. I know this is going to sound wacky but if all we need is speed Lee Evans would probably play for some loose change and pocket lint. That being said if we want to go big and build on this we should look into Kamerion Wimbley. The Raiders supposedly will have to get rid of him due to salary cap issues. Why not offer the Raiders one of our extra draft picks and have them do a sign and trade. Defense fixed!!!!! Edited March 15, 2012 by PDaDdy
Koufax Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 Two things we often say that we can't say anymore: 1) Ralph is cheap 2) No big name free agent will come here so we have to settle for the role players Now, I don't think this fixes us all at once, but healthy our 2011 team was pretty darn good, with some problems with the 3-4 personnel and not enough pass rush. We now have the pass rush solved, are back to a 4-3, and lots of good things are ready to happen. We still need to add talent to this team with a couple minor free agents and a solid draft, but adding Mario plus getting Freddy, Wood, and Kyle back at full health among others, makes this team start to look pretty exciting.

Seriously, GB has been very high on Flynn since they drafted him, he has shown to be very accurate in his few chances to play, and could be brought in to compete with Fitz who has proven to not be consistently accurate over his 8 year career thus far. I hope Fitz proves himself this year (seems like that keeps getting said every year for 3 years now though) but the fact remains he has yet to put a whole season together ever in his career, so why not look at someone who could push him as the starter? Maybe that will help push him over the hump...
auburnbillsbacker Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 What about the falcons Lofton? The bills still need a LB, and he is very good.
Dopey Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 all I have to say is.... MR. WILSON TEAR DOWN THIS WALL OF BEING CHEAP! What wall?!?!?!?
BigBuff423 Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 all I have to say is.... MR. WILSON TEAR DOWN THIS WALL OF BEING CHEAP! I'm seriously hoping this is sarcasm....after Ralph just spent $100 million on ONE player!!! Don't get me wrong, I know he fills a need and I'm happy to see him in Buffalo ready to be an important cog in the wheel of change, but you CANNOT call Ralph cheap after this signing!!!
John from Riverside Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 What you could do is resign Bell or Bring in McNeil and then draft a wide receiver..... Bell has not signed anywhere yet. Personally? The LT's at the top of this draft are supposed to be pretty good......how about Early Ducet WR....then draft Jonathan Martin.
