BobbyC81 Posted May 5, 2017 Posted May 5, 2017 I'm afraid Victor has done his last salsa dance. He should retire. Yeah, they signed Brandon Marshall, still have ODB, with Sheppard as a slot guy AND they drafted Engram.
PrimeTime101 Posted May 5, 2017 Posted May 5, 2017 A Stevie Johnson is still a FA... Any interest at all??? I know he was injured a while back, but why not kick the tires?.. -See if he's changed.. SJ is happy with family, he has also had many nagging injuries.. I think he is done with football.. This was bought up to Donald Jones about a month ago.. Donald still close with Stevie.. Stevie is done.
billsfan89 Posted May 5, 2017 Posted May 5, 2017 Anyone want any of these guys? Michael Floyd Jared Odrick Jairus Byrd Gary Barnidge Ryan Clady Josh Byrnes Gerald Hodges Jason McCourty Sam Shields Byrd and Barnidge to me seem like they would be great fits. Barnidge gives some depth at tightend and overall at the skill positions a place where the team has very little depth. Byrd could push for a starting safety spot and at worst add some depth. Just my amateur opinion of course but I thought both Byrd and Barnidge were pretty productive last year. Byrd was healthy last year with the Saints and according to PFF and a lot of other advanced metrics had a improved 2016 up from his abysmal prior two seasons. I think a change of scenery with him might work out. As far as Barnidge he caught 55 balls 600 plus yards with an abysmal QB situation and not much help outside of Terrell Pryor from the other skill positions. I think you can get a good year out of Barnidge and Byrd at least one of them.
Saxum Posted May 5, 2017 Posted May 5, 2017 I can not see new coaching staff bringing is Byrd who is a quitter and dodged playing when tagged.
H2o Posted May 5, 2017 Posted May 5, 2017 Anyone want any of these guys? Michael Floyd Jared Odrick Jairus Byrd Gary Barnidge Ryan Clady Josh Byrnes Gerald Hodges Jason McCourty Sam Shields I would still like to see us sign Byrd if it is at a reasonable price. He likely won't sign a deal until close to TC. Barnidge is another guy I would like to have as depth on the roster. Clay is often hampered by injury it seems and GB is better than O'Leary.
hmsmystic Posted May 5, 2017 Posted May 5, 2017 Aren't some of you obsessed with comp picks??? AFAIK there is a timeframe after which signing players stops counting against a team's ability to get comp picks for free agents lost. Maybe it's already happened? If not perhaps they are waiting for that?
thebandit27 Posted May 5, 2017 Posted May 5, 2017 Jordan Todman is a guy that could come in and perhaps replace Gillislee. He's had limited carries the last 2 seasons, but has had an average YPC of over 5.5 for 3 straight seasons.
Wayne Arnold Posted May 5, 2017 Posted May 5, 2017 Tramaine Brock, 28 year old CB, formerly of the 49ers. Recently released for a domestic violence arrest. But, hey - innocent until proven guilty. And doesn't everyone deserve a second chance? Others... LB Gerald Hodges, 26, 49ers S Tre Boston, 24, Panthers S Marcus Gilchrist, 28, Jets LB Sio Moore, 27, Cardinals DT Dan Williams, 30, Raiders S Daimion Stafford, 26, Titans CB Jason McCourty, 29, Titans
cba fan Posted May 5, 2017 Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) No doubt the Bills still need to fill some holes. From the below mentioned group I'd love to see the Bills sign Boldin, Byrd, Barnidge, McCourty and Shields. Anquan Boldin Michael Floyd Jared Odrick Jairus Byrd Gary Barnidge Ryan Clady Josh Byrnes Gerald Hodges Jason McCourty Sam Shields. There's still a need at OLB so Hodges might be helpful as well. Corey Graham is still out there. I would pass on any of those who count against the compensatory pick formula. As it stands if Bills would cut two of the FA they signed they would be in line to get a 3rd round compensatory draft pick next year.https://overthecap.com/compensatory-draft-picks-cancellation-chart/ now it updated. Blanton does not count. Bills need to cut 3. It could happen. Edited May 5, 2017 by cba fan

voodoo poonani Posted May 6, 2017 Posted May 6, 2017 PFF's list. Just type in UFA https://www.profootballfocus.com/pro-2017-free-agency-tracker/
ganesh Posted May 6, 2017 Posted May 6, 2017 I can see Byrd coming back at vet min. Why wouldn't Byrd sign for *vet min* (as you say) with a playoff bound team like a Oakland, Denver, KC or even a NE.
26CornerBlitz Posted May 7, 2017 Posted May 7, 2017 Why wouldn't Byrd sign for *vet min* (as you say) with a playoff bound team like a Oakland, Denver, KC or even a NE. Maybe he'd enjoy the experience of being coached by his dad.
JohnBonhamRocks Posted May 7, 2017 Posted May 7, 2017 Byrd or Boston just because I'm not exactly thrilled with Poyer starting. Would love Barnidge, but don't think we can outbid eleven other teams.
Agent 91 Posted May 7, 2017 Posted May 7, 2017 God will find players Faith based high character guys... UGH!!!!!
LabattBlue Posted May 8, 2017 Posted May 8, 2017 Does anyone really believe that when trying to put together the best team possible, that the GM says "Oh, we can't sign this player...he can help us, but we would lose out on a compensatory pick". Who freakin' cares!
Kemp2Warlick Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 Chris BrownVerified account @ChrisBrownBills 13s14 seconds ago More The #Bills have signed free-agent LB Carl Bradford. Visited and signed the same day. More at http://BuffaloBills.com .
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 ....Byrd burned bridges on his way out.......as did Moulds......must be Rap's ringing endorsement that has clubs lining up to interview 'ol Jarius.............. "Byrd missed 15 games his first two seasons in New Orleans and then was benched in 2016. There's no other way to put it than to say Byrd was a colossal bust."

NewEra Posted May 9, 2017 Posted May 9, 2017 Really hope we can add a LB with some speed to play the weakside. It's our biggest hole by far imo. It's a key position in this d and we currently have Humber and Milano to man the spot. I'd be stoked if Milano can turn out to be a legit starter but I wouldn't count on it just yet
