ChanOverChin Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Take a look at this list. The Bills already snapped up former Steeler OG D. Legursky. Could they be looking at signing one or more of these guys at a reasonable price prior to their July 2013 training camp?? OFFENSIVE PLAYERS OG Brandon Moore RB Jackie Battle (big back) RB Peyton Hillis (big back) RB Cedric Benson (big back) TE Dallas Clark DEFENSIVE PLAYERS CB N. Clements CB Sheldon Brown SS Madieu Williams SS C. Hope (former Steeler) LB Keith Brooking LB Leroy Hill DT Sedrick Ellis DT Rocky Bernard DT Richard Seymour NT Ma'ake Kemoeatu http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/06/05/teams-pass-on-chance-to-squat-on-160-ufas/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BringBackFergy Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I like the youth movement in Buffalo. Just assume we stick with what we have unless one of those guys is a no brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Any of those backs could be a nice little pickup, we could use a short yardage back and someone to carry part of the load if Spiller or Jackson get injured. I'd look at Battle. Wouldn't mind adding a corner, other than that I say go with youth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 these guys are newly available, just their old teams cant force them into a contract anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChanOverChin Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share Posted June 6, 2013 RB J. Battle is still young (29) and is 6'-2"/238 lbs. He carried the ball for SD at the goal line and in short yardage situations. He would complement Spiller and Jackson wel and should be able a cheap signing. CB S. Brown is 34, but is still a pretty good cover CB. I say throw him into the mix of CBs that already includes: Gilmore/McKelvin/Brooks/Rogers/Butler/Robey/A. Williams/D. Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hindsight Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Always thought Chris hope was a good player, but we are pretty set at safety Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlbillsfan1975 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I do not expect anymore signings until camp cut downs in a couple months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle flap Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I'd def take Leroy Hill for depth at ILB. Assuming of course the Bills aren't concerned with his legal troubles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 What happened to Sed Ellis? Wasn't he suppose to be all-world coming out of college? hes been pretty "meh" for the saints. can flash potential now and again but never struck me as a guy that "wants it" as much as someone that is just happy to be there.

In recent years it seems the bust rate for highly-drafted interior D-linemen is pretty high. Some of them aren't catastrophes but very few of them live up to the hype. Suh has, McCoy not as much. Dareus not so far. Sedrick Ellis, Glenn Dorsey, Amobe Okoye have been disappointing. Fairley has yet to arrive. BJ Raji was very good his first two years and not so good his last two. I think the moral of the story is that DT and NT are hard positions to transition to from college to the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Thanks for posting this list! I'd take Benson or Hillis, a big back with some speed who could come in for Spiller and Freddy, and also take goaline carries, etc. I'd also like some more LB depth, and Dallas Clark would be a good addition also, seeing as the only player we know will be ready day 1 is a rookie.

Buffalo Barbarian Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Peyton Hillis would be an ideal west coast FB, he would be a 3 down player that wouldn't tip the offenses hand the way Mcintyer did. Visions of Rathman and Alsott run through my head. ( :wub: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( :wub: ) I'd be very okay with that, he only touched the ball about 100 times last year, is only 27 and image the backfield, how do you defend it when out of nowhere Hillis, CJ and Jackson are out there together. Now convince him he's a FB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's old, but the dude simply produces. We have some youth, that may surprise us, behind Spiller/Jackson/Choice. There are also about 150 other playes that fall into this category now that June 1 has passed and soon to be more on the market after cut downs. I just don't see the need to jump out there right now.

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 No one has picked up Nate Clements yet? lol CBF I've heard of him. Get 'er done Buddy...I mean Whaley. Man, that doesn't work quite as well. We need something new. But seriously, I don't really see anything here that would be really groundbreaking. Maybe Dallas Clark on the cheap to help fill in if Chandler has to start on PUP. I too would be waiting for camp cuts, since at that point the Bills might be able to peel off a few promising young players other teams let go.

1B4IDie Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Yeah Dallas is a no brainer. Especially if EJ starts. The TE depth is weak and I'd be nice to have a solid safety valve. My guess is Dallas may be waiting for a spot on a contender to open up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
