Expand If not Ritchie does have experience at RG as needed, that said Norwell likely going to be the most sought after OG in UFA and get more money than we should throw at him.

Expand What exactly does more "well rounded" even mean He is the best pass rusher we have had in a while He was actually good against the run this year Dont understand why fans are so ready to get rid of talent....we should be ADDING to it...not replacing it 1
Jay_Fixit Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 If the Bills sign Moats, will there be enough room for him and the legend that surrounds him?
MJS Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Wow. I would love Ansah. Why would the Lions let him go?

Expand i think they'd keep hughes and let him develop behind the end in the rotation. cutting hughes does save almost 5 mil but i think it'd be worth to keep him another year and hope shaq can replace him after this season.

HappyDays Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Last year we rebuilt our secondary in free agency and this year I think the plan is rebuild the front 7. Sign Lotulelei in FA and draft a DT, maybe Harrison Phillips. Sign one of Ziggy Ansah, Demarcus Lawrence, or Robert Quinn. I don't know much about the LBs available in draft/FA but if we can also get at least one good starter there we'd be in very good shape on defense next year.
CommonCents Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 John Brown is still the guy I want. (If healthy)

No thanks to everyone except Kyle - obviously, Ansah is ok but not at the money he'll want, and of course Gaines. Everyone else, there's the door...thanks for coming.
JerseyBills Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 On 1/25/2018 at 4:07 PM, GunnerBill said: At the right price Ziggy Ansah would be of interest. Expand I think we could be serious contenders for Ziggy, Hughes is Soo much better than the numbers imo. He just didn't have any consistentcy on the other side, all his pressures could roll right and escape. You got Lawson in the mix too , so we instantly have a very good DE group. Go DT in the draft, DE in FA . Great fit from a scheme/talent standpoint, I'd be lying if I said I knew about his work ethic and if he fits the mentality,but I'm all in with this front office,their decision making has won me over already , after some brutal years

hemma Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Assuming his biceps is healing well, DaQuan Jones would be a great get.
