GrassValleyGreg Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 I'm as skeptical as any Bills fan but I'm starting to believe we are finally in good hands with the FO. Obviously have an eye for talent, and free agency acumen has been highlighted by this year's mid-season moves. Nigel Bradham (who we should give a new contract to immediately) had a good quote on the state of the roster today: "Depth. Thats something we didn't have in the past. We got depth now. So if a guy goes down we pretty much got another starter coming in. And that's the main thing with the team this year: we added depth at every position. And its amazing. And we needed that."
zow2 Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 And of course there will be several posters on this board that want to "blow it up". New GM, new Coach, sweeping changes needed. I say keep everything the same if u can but need a QB
Captain Hindsight Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 Yeah but he totally whiffed on Jordan Palmer
mrags Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 I'm good with the coaches and FO right now. They've shown they have done enough. If we lose Highes this offseason it'll suck but find a reasonable pass rusher in FA to replace. Draft a TE and LG with your 2nd and 3rd round draft picks. Load up on TE, G, RB for the rest of the draft or FA. If you can't pick up a decent QB in FA or the draft, make sure you put as many weapons and help around EJ and Kyle and let them battle it out next season

Figure he might be a bit more exposed without the likes of the Williams's and Dareus.
The Big Cat Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 Don't think it will be prudent to sign Hughes at the price he will be demanding. Figure he might be a bit more exposed without the likes of the Williams's and Dareus. Yep. I'll even go a step further and say we can find a rookie to do his job.
Captain Hindsight Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 Yep. I'll even go a step further and say we can find a rookie to do his job. Whaley has found some great young talent on the D-line. Don't forget we still have Manny Lawson. He's not Hughes but he's also not Chris Kelsey
RealityCheck Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 The challenge of resigning a guy like Hughes is that 3-4 teams looking for an OLB will also be in the market. Pettine is probably a big fan of his.
MarkAF43 Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 I know it's about money in most cases, but what percentage of his thought process is based on how outstanding this D is and how good he is in it? Is that a real thought, or something made up to appease the fans? Does it truly come down to the almighty dollar or would he really consider staying here for the right amount of money because he likes the area/team/D?
