ChanOverChin Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 TE Annen was released today, which opens up a roster spot for the Bills. Will they fill the roster spot with another TE, WR, LB, S, CB?? Having lost Maclin to the Ravens on a 2 yr $11M contract maybe the Bills will consider signing WR Decker, who was recently released?? Possibly TE Barnidge?? I'd take Decker and Barnidge as a nice consolation prize for not being able to sign Maclin. The Bills have to be considering the signing of a S at this point. Safeties Byrd, Graham, and Gilchrist are still out there.
jr1 Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 Blake's speed was intriguing to me. I hope another team gives him a chance
Eric Moulds on my A** Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 Getting Decker and Barnridge would be a consolation in the sense that Kevin Durant was a consolation for not winning the Chip last year. I'd rather have both those guys than Maclin any day. Doubt this is the case, I'd be happy settling for just Barnridge.

Posted it in the other thread but Barnidge and the Bills are not close. $$Was decker fully released yet?Yesterday
boyst Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 Posted it in the other thread but Barnidge and the Bills are not close. $$ Yesterday her name was Sarah. Pulled my phone messages out to see it. So that's why I didn't know and ended up out all night.
Justice Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 I'm pretty sure we brought in some tight ends for tryouts during the weekend. Nobody of note since they failed to mention who exactly visited.
MiltonWaddams Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 If Gilchrist is healed sufficiently, I am hoping for him. The biggest hole, in both quality and numbers, on this team is at safety.
Kirby Jackson Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 If Gilchrist is healed sufficiently, I am hoping for him. The biggest hole, in both quality and numbers, on this team is at safety.Agree with this and that makes sense. Byrd is an option as well. They need AT LEAST one S in the 2 deep.
Tsaikotic Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) I think they might like the 2 TE's they brought in from UDFA..Croom and Towbridge....plus they might like what theve seen from Thomas so far too if they keep 4 I could see Clay, Thomas and 2 of Croom, Towbridge and O'Leary...I dont see them bringing in any new TE's unless they're rookies Edited June 13, 2017 by Tsaikotic
Doc Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 Annen's speed was great but he bounced around. Never thought he'd stick anyway. And I'd go after Barnidge. And I'm not geeked about Decker, but why not?

MiltonWaddams Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 Agree with this and that makes sense. Byrd is an option as well. They need AT LEAST one S in the 2 deep. I didn't watch any NO games that I recall last season, but Byrd was reportedly benched. Is the connection purely Gil or do you think he could possibly return to being a ball hawk like he once was? I don't dislike the guy, despite the crap he pulled in his last season here, but I just don't see him being a better option than a healthy Gilchrist. I guess "healthy " is the operative word there.
Wayne Arnold Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 The Blake Annen Era has officially ended. I always dreaded this day.

I don't dislike the guy, despite the crap he pulled in his last season here, but I just don't see him being a better option than a healthy Gilchrist. I guess "healthy " is the operative word there. Byrd had his moments last year. He is certainly not the player that he once was but could fill in as a fringe starter (depending on how you view Poyer). He may not be a better option but he may be. I was simply suggesting that there are a few guys out there that would be one of the top 4 safeties yesterday.
Mark Vader Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 Agree with this and that makes sense. Byrd is an option as well. They need AT LEAST one S in the 2 deep. I agree, adding another Safety would be a good move. Getting another DE for depth would be nice too.
Kirby Jackson Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 I agree, adding another Safety would be a good move. Getting another DE for depth would be nice too. 100% agree and I'm still of the opinion that another viable RB needs to be added.
baskingridgebillsfan Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 with 15 million left they should be able to get several vets at reasonable prices signed in order to add some useful depth .
rodneykm Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 Byrd and Boldin for me. 2 vets who can help the young guys.
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 Byrd and Boldin for me. 2 vets who can help the young guys. While it is remarkable his plantar fasciitis never resurfaced again, I don't need to see any more of Byrd. He's slow and washed up. I think The world of Boldin, but he too is well over the hill.
