BillsFanFromCincy2012 Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000150953/article/top-40-remaining-nfl-free-agents Above is a list of the major free agents left. I personally wouldn't mind getting Brandon Moore (since Levitre is gone) and sign Dasby or another LB. Since we've already shown our hand in the draft, let's fill a few holes now. Thoughts?
dwight in philly Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 i like dansby as well, possibly pollard. add some nastiness.
FutureBillsGM Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 Ideally- Brandon Moore G - 2 years Brad Jones LB - 4 years Karlos Dansby LB - 1 year Darius Heyward-Bey WR - 1 year Kevin Walter WR- 1 year Draft: 1. Geno Smith/Matt Barkley 2. Robert Woods WR USC 3. Gavin Escobar TE San Diego St 4. Brandon McGee CB Miami 5. Hugh Thornton G/T Illinois 7. Sean Renfree QB Duke

I like any of Moore/Slauson/Boothe at OG Dansby or D. Smith at LB Beckum or Coffman at TE Grimes at CB Zbikowski at S Danario Alexander at WR
DefenseWinzChampionshipz Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 I can't believe the lack of respect for Rey Maualuga on this board (and in the NFL)... To call him a "role player" is ridiculous IMO... Guy is a beast at stopping the run... Sure he has pass coverage issues but I clearly remember the Bengals defense getting much better soon as he was starting for them... When he was absent with injury, they didn't look the same...
JPS Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 I like 1 year contracts for all free agents, unless is Dansby. I might give him 2.

Kelly the Dog Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 I like 1 year contracts for all free agents, unless is Dansby. I might give him 2. Apparently Cincy thought so...they resigned him They signed him cheap though, and because they have only 1-2 starters on the roster.
JPS Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 They signed him cheap though, and because they have only 1-2 starters on the roster. I didn't see contract. How much?
NewEra Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 I didn't see contract. How much? 2 year 6.5 mill Ideally- Brandon Moore G - 2 years Brad Jones LB - 4 years Karlos Dansby LB - 1 year Darius Heyward-Bey WR - 1 year Kevin Walter WR- 1 year Draft: 1. Geno Smith/Matt Barkley 2. Robert Woods WR USC 3. Gavin Escobar TE San Diego St 4. Brandon McGee CB Miami 5. Hugh Thornton G/T Illinois 7. Sean Renfree QB Duke That would be great. Relatively cheap and would still have money to extend Byrd. Too bad we might sign one of those FAs and the only way we can't geno would be to give up our 2nd (at least)
ChanOverChin Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 Wow, there's obviously still a lot of very good players there. Are the Bills waiting to get some of these guys on the cheap by waiting them out?? We have MAJOR holes at QB/TE/WR/LG/ILB/OLB/S. We can't possibly adequately fill those positions with only SIX draft picks. Is Buffalo's strategy to go in the tank this year in order to garner a high draft pick next year...........and then select their franchise QB?? It's sure starting to look that way. If the plan is indeed to go into the tank and hide then I don't see the Bills trying to do very much in free agency. Even if they do plan to "tank one for the team" they would be wise to pick up some younger FAs to build around. Here are my recommendation for the two scenarios below: 1. Tanking one for the team: ILB Rey Maualuga - Improvement over what we have OG Brandon Moore - Need a vet OG (just to keep our QB upright) Draft QB M. Barkley at #8 overall. 2. Trying to actually be competive: ILB Rey Maualuga - Improvement over what we have WR Brandon Lloyd - Need a vet WR (did not fit well with NE, but is still a productive player) ILB Brad Jones - Improvement over what we have CB Mike Jenkins - Need a vet CB (could be solid #2 or #3 CB behind Gilmore) OG Brandon Moore - Need a vet OG Draft QB M. Barkley at #8 overall.

Aus Bills Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 Victor Butler LB from Dallas. Only 25 yrs old, still time to develop. Saints, steelers and jets all had interest but couldnt agree on a deal. Brandon Moore would be a solid replacement at guard, not as good as levitre but wont be so damn expensive. Fred Davis at TE would add some kick to the recieving core. He's obviously not long term but we dont have enough draft picks to get a TE. Im not a fan of any WR left. Gibson would have been good but bills werent interested. Draft one or two.
The Senator Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 Kevin Boothe (G) is still out there - started 16 games at left guard for NY Giants last season, can also play center and - in a pinch - tackle. What are Nix/Whaley waiting for???? (They should also look at Cornell OL J.C. Tretter as an undrafted free agent is he doesn't get drafted on day 3)
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 Bengals have Maybin. They didn't need Rey. Are you joking? Aaron maybin is on an NFL roster?
DefenseWinzChampionshipz Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 Are you joking? Aaron maybin is on an NFL roster? Maybin is a team player... He finishes every game with 0 sacks or tackles because he wants his teammates to get the stats... You guys just don't get it...
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 Maybin is a team player... He finishes every game with 0 sacks or tackles because he wants his teammates to get the stats... You guys just don't get it... You can tell how dedicated he is to this strategy by the grandiose celebrations he stages when it works.
peterpan Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 Apparently Cincy thought so...they resigned him 2 year 6.5 mill Those are the types of contracts the Bills need to be signing players to. Maleuga would have been a great addition to this team at 7-8 mil for two years. Or say 10 mil for 3 years. Cheap contract, good quality starter, etc. Dansby could be that guy. Pollard could be that guy too. We could target an OL. Denario Alexander would be worth throwing some more money at IMO. Just add a guy or two already. Jump in the bargain bin wtf!!!
Maddog69 Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 Ideally- Brandon Moore G - 2 years Brad Jones LB - 4 years Karlos Dansby LB - 1 year Darius Heyward-Bey WR - 1 year Kevin Walter WR- 1 year Draft: 1. Geno Smith/Matt Barkley 2. Robert Woods WR USC 3. Gavin Escobar TE San Diego St 4. Brandon McGee CB Miami 5. Hugh Thornton G/T Illinois 7. Sean Renfree QB Duke I would be pretty happy if the rest of our offseason went like this.
