billsfan714 Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 If we exercise TT's option and somehow resign Gilmore, how much room would we have to sign the rest of the players we need to round out the roster? I know we have a ton of free agents.

Drafting another corner in the first round just seems like more of the same last 17 years. Plus we need safeties.

The top 3 teams in the draft need a QB. There is no solution to the QB problem this year. It has been this way since Kelly retired.
John from Riverside Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 very strong possibility Gilmore will not be back
clearwater cadet Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 Wouldn't letting gilmore and ej go be just about the same as picking up tyrod option? I keeping hearing his option is around 27 million, but didn't he get 9 million of it this year, and 15.5 million for 2017, and 3.25 for 2018. I think that fair for mid level guy.

I can list a good amount

Why should he? He may want to play for a team that is playoff caliber. Same with Woods. So much for homegrown talent. 2 holes right of the start. Goddwin? probably gone So one corner 2 receivers, rebuild a secondary, a kicker, a QB,.a punter, etc. And a GM that cannot draft too save his life. 22M ought to solve that?

I would rather draft a 1st round CB every 4-5 years than sign a super expensive FA at that position. CB's tend not to bust too.

BuffaloRebound Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 No way I'm paying Gilmore. Don't care if Rex is a terrible coach, but Gilmore quit on most of the season. Not giving big money to guys like that plus Seymour looks like a find. Sign Tyrod to a 2 year $20m guaranteed deal and draft Kizer at #10.

I am surely not a cap expert but depending on who we can land in FA, I see players like Clay, McCoy being approached for re-neg. Also, sadly, Kyle Williams may not be back if I were to believe the discussion during today's game.

McCoy closer to that dreaded age of 30 for a RB. Restructure = kicking can down road = gonna pay piper eventually Clay knee - restructured last year not much more to do also again bad idea kicking a can down the road with a guy that obviously has an ongoing knee issue Two horrible places to try and save 4M max and kick down the road Edited January 1, 2017 by MAJBobby
