Ty Law Released


Recommended Posts

Milloy and Law are best friends, maybe Ty law will come here? Move Mcgee back to Nickel back.

I seriously doubt we will go after Law, but I do think that an upgrade at corner is a need. I like McGee as a nickel, and he is a great return man. However, with Pat Williams likely leaving, I don't see our D line terrorizing offensive backfields quite as much as they did the last 10 games of 2004. With more time to throw, I think McGee will be exposed as being only a so-so starting corner...

Another Pats leftover on the downside of his career...

 

Will Troy Brown be available next year?

The key thing for the Bills with player assessment is not simply how good (or washed up) a player may be, but instead is he an upgrade over what we got and how much will that upgrade cost in the cap so we cannot upgrade elsewhere.

 

Milloy was a great pick-up by the Bills even though he is clearly in decline, on the backside of his career and was replaced in NE by a more effective player, because if we didn't get him, the Bills likely would have suited up the not-ready-to-start- at SS Coy Wire and only had Reese and Prioleau on the roster when we really needed 4 safties.

 

I think the Bills were smart to get Milloy and even pay a premium for him because who we would put on the field instead was a far more important issue than some opinion about how good he was or wasn't.

 

The same lesson proved true at DT where some posters called Sam Adams a fat tub if goo, but my response was I didn't care because I judged a fat tub of goo tobe a better choice at DT than an underweight tub of goo, Edwards.

 

In both cases, both Milloy and Adams actually had a lot more to contribute to this team than some whiners thought.

 

As far as Law, application of the same dictum probably works the other way. I like the upside of McGee over Law and actually think he is equivalent at best to back-up Vincent. It will be fine to sign Law if he comes cheaply and the docs judge he can return to his previous form. However, I do not see him replacing the players we got so I'm not that interested in him even though I think he has a bit left in the tank.
