OnTheRocks Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Here are a few names SportingNews.com lists as potential Free Agent pickups for the Bills: FREE AGENT BUZZ: It appears unlikely the team will be able to afford to re-sign free agent LT Jonas Jennings. No. 3 OT Marcus Price, another free agent, might come back, but more depth is needed. Indianapolis' Ryan Diem, Detroit's Stockar McDougle or New Orleans' Victor Riley are young players who would have to make transition to left side. The Bills had a revolving door at left guard before settling on Ross Tucker. Green Bay's Marco Rivera or New England's Joe Andruzzi would be an upgrade at the position, but their asking price might be too high. Baltimore's Casey Rabach or Bennie Anderson, St. Louis' Chris Dishman, Tampa Bay's Cosey Coleman, Seattle's Chris Gray or Philadelphia's Jermane Mayberry might be more affordable options. Tight end is an uncertainty with Mark Campbell and Tim Euhus coming off reconstructive knee surgeries and Ryan Neufeld heading toward free agency. The Jets' Anthony Becht may be a little pricey, but his receiving skills would work well in Bills' offense. Minnesota's Jermaine Wiggins and St. Louis' Cam Cleeland are aging, but either could provide insurance if injured players don't recover quickly. I higlighted guys.... I think...I think ....would be good adds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ch19079 Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 good info, but i was hoping for a list of ~8 OL top free agents, with experience and stats listed. but ill live. OT cost alot. so expect to pay alot. but there is no point in signing a beast at OT, if the OG is a bum. honestly, jennings will most likley be a cheaper option than the other OTs. if your going cheap.... the talent goes down hill...

OL needs to be the priority...... as for becht, i can't see how he would be "pricey"........he's never put up big numbers and is a better blocker then a receiver anyway.....

colfax Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Packers LG Mike Wahle would be a great pickup....he even stepped in at LT and did a decent job there yesterday "Left guard Mike Wahle also figures to wind up on the open market because he's due an exorbitant bonus that the Packers aren't likely to pay."
