Jamie Nails Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) Clearly not the big name of our free agent crop, but a valuable special teamer. Hoping we can keep him in the fold. Haven't heard much though... Edited March 10, 2015 by Jamie Nails

Jamie Nails Posted March 3, 2015 Author Posted March 3, 2015 Glad they want him back and hoping they can get it done. Feels like the type of guy that they could lock-up before free agency. if he hits the market, I think he will likely find a suitor looking for a stud special teamer like we were with Boobie last year.
NoSaint Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 honestly, with all the special teams talent we have brought in and the struggles in the passing game -- id probably lean towards taking a shot at a guy that contributes on offense if it became a choose one or the other situation
K D Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Easley is our Steve Tasker. he deserves a spot on the team
NoSaint Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Easley is our Steve Tasker. he deserves a spot on the team Instead of taking a guess based on memory, I'll just ask.... He missed a good bit of time last year. He still lead the unit in tackles but did we suffer much without? My impression was not really. Butwithout a replacement WR on the table my commentary isn't terribly relevant
QB Bills Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 The guy is excellent on special teams. I don't know how he does it, but he's always in great position to make a play on the returner right as the ball is being caught. Would be a significant loss if he walks, in my opinion.
Thrivefourfive Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) He was on a Sirius talk show last week. He hasn't met the coaching staff, and noted not meeting the WR coach. But he thinks the staff is very good. He mentioned all of his struggles and how he's overcome them. And he wants an opportunity to play and have a breakout season. I'm paraphasing from memory. It sounded like he was hoping for a chance somewhere else where he could get some playing time at wr. Edited March 3, 2015 by Thrivefourfive
Big C Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 It's important to keep your best teams guy. New England keeps Slater and Bolden at reasonable rates and they pretty much only do teams.
maddenboy Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) Thank god for a thread that will take at least 5 pages before it turns into an EJ thread. And Easley is a solid, core player. I would be really disappointed if we lost him for any reason. You cannot field 53 stars in the salary cap era. The only thing that might work against him, both here and elsewhere, is this creeping trend toward using actual starters on "Teams." Easley is gold. Edited March 3, 2015 by maddenboy
QB Bills Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 I'm amazed at how he gets down the field so.. (•_•) ( •_•)>⌐■-■ (⌐■_■) Easily.

Butwithout a replacement WR on the table my commentary isn't terribly relevant My recollection is that we went from very very good to very good then back to very very good.

Ontario51 Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 He has also made some wide receiver grabs in the past, he has good hands.
YoloinOhio Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 He has also made some wide receiver grabs in the past, he has good hands.Was this in preseason? Honest question, I don't remember him making any catches in the reg season.
sodbuster Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 My twitter timeline just got blown up by retweets of fans by Easley begging the Bills to re-sign him. Wondering if there's some movement on that front pretty soon.
YoloinOhio Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 @BuffRumblings: #Bills ST/WR @MarcusEasley is RTing fans who want him to stick around: http://t.co/Eku1cSf5y6
Not at the table Karlos Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Was this in preseason? Honest question, I don't remember him making any catches in the reg season. pretty sure they were in preseason. I recall a few decent preseason games but honestly don't remember him catching any in regular season
billieve420 Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) Easley is on the back burner till Hughes and other soon to be priority FAs are dealt with. He is a special teams beast hopefully he is re-signed once things settle down. Other than one preseason he hasn't shown much at receiver maybe he gets a shot this year if they don't sign another guy. It is clear the Bills are looking for a bigger WR/TE when they were sniffing around Brandon Marshall. Edited March 8, 2015 by billieve420
YoloinOhio Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 (edited) Whaley said a few weeks ago he was in the plans to re-sign. He may get big money on the open market from team like the browns who are desperate for ST help and would probably play him at wr too Edited March 8, 2015 by YoloinOhio
