HOUSE Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 What does a TE look like? Its been so long........
Estro Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 I don't like Lee smith all that much but he actually grades out a lot higher than Fasano. Fasano is an aging declining player. He graded out as one of the poorest TE's this past season, 61st out of 67 TE's graded. He was particularly putrid run blocking. Lee smith graded out much better ...... long story short: No thanks to Fasano

Screwball Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 I haven't heard his name mentioned yet. Hopefully this isn't a sign of the Clay signing going south. Fasano split duties with Kelce in KC last year. Per Rotoworld. The Bills are reportedly interested in free agent TE Anthony Fasano. Released by Kansas City late last month, Fasano visited the Titans on Tuesday. The 31-year-old is purely a blocking tight end at this stage of his career.

boyst Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 I'd rather have Chandler. But get it was all about the money

Just that they need a blocking guy after releasing Chandler. Fasano would be cheap
dezertbill Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) Fasano is a downgrade from Chandler. I'm sure he's looking for similar money. Makes no sense unless they want him as a blocking tight end in addition to Clay or someone like Vernon Davis. Thank goodness the Bills aren't naive enough to consider every free agent that comes available as their only option. I would be shocked if Clay isn't signed. I think the delay is just the process and making the contract something the Dolphins can't match. I know Bills fans aren't the most patient, but I think in this situation stay calm and stay away from journeyman Edited March 12, 2015 by dezertbill
YoloinOhio Posted March 12, 2015 Author Posted March 12, 2015 I think he would be replacing Lee smith.
Southern Bills Fan Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) I believe that I'm in the minority but I think that spending 8 million a year on Clay is way to much. His numbers over the last 4 years are worse than Chandlers. Clay 161 rec- 1809 yards- 14 td's Chandler 181 rec- 2112 yards- 17 td's Edited March 12, 2015 by Southern Bills Fan
Big Hurt Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 We may not be able to get Clay as discussed last night. Read here: http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/176900-details-of-suh-contracthow-to-structure-clay-offer/?view=getnewpost
eball Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Doubtful its a sign of anything with Clay. Just that they need a blocking guy after releasing Chandler. Fasano would be cheap For the umpteenth time...Chandler was a terrible blocker. I think he would be replacing Lee smith. Bingo. The guy trashed Buffalo previously Meh. Lots of guys have. Funny what receiving a paycheck does for your feelings about things.
YoloinOhio Posted March 12, 2015 Author Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) The guy trashed Buffalo previouslyFunny how money can changes one perspective. Btw, what did he say? Was that when he was in Miami? I'm guessing tony Sparano jr knows him. Edited March 12, 2015 by YoloinOhio
GG Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Funny how money can changes one perspective. Btw, what did he say? Was that when he was in Miami? I'm guessing tony Sparano jr knows him. He basically trashed the City as a dump
YoloinOhio Posted March 12, 2015 Author Posted March 12, 2015 He basically trashed the City as a dumpDump truck full of money maybe lol
strive_for_five_guy Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Bills prob need a backup plan, since the Dolphins could match an offer on Clay up to the 7th day. While I wasnt a huge Chandler fan, does make me wonder why they released him this early with the uncertainty at our TE position.

Fasano is a replacement for Lee smith. I think Chandler release is independent of Clay. If they don't get clay I think they will draft a TE or go after another athletic TE in FA. @alexmarvez: 1 reason @buffalobills cut Scott Chandler: Want better blocker at TE. Anthony Fasano gives that as 2nd TE. @MikeGarafolo says he's visiting

YoloinOhio Posted March 12, 2015 Author Posted March 12, 2015 @jchenelly: @Anthony_Fasano has been invited to visit the #Bills. He's going to be recruited regardless of status of push for @C42Clay. #NFLFreeAgency
