Groy is adequate, but not great. Richie is getting older. The entire right side already needed replacing. We're going to have some not so sexy picks come draft day. IMO, this makes the decision to move up for a QB just that much harder. Hard to get rid of good draft picks with so many holes. No, it doesn’t make the decision to possibly move up for a QB harder. At all. Edited January 26, 2018 by Binghamton Beast 1
sullim4 Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Wood's cap number is $8.625MM. I'm assuming this all gets freed if he retires, correct? That's a significant chunk of money... they will be able to go after someone in FA.
BuffaloBillsGospel Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 I'm not trying to be insensitive but when Wood went out with the broken leg, Groy played quite well almost like Woods wasn't even hurt. Again I feel for the guy and I will donate to his charity for sure, just stating what i saw a few years back.

BillsCuse Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 What's the salary cap implications? He just signed a 2 year extension this year. Will there be a dead cap like him being cut? Or would the Bills recoup all that $ since he is retiring? And not trying to be insensitive to him, he's a great guy and player. Just wondering since roughly $8 million a year is a big chunk for cap reasons
KOKBILLS Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Groy will be the Center in 2018...I don't think there is much doubt about that...
BigBuff423 Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) Here's a link to FA Centers for 2018 - before any re-signings. http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/center/ Out of that list, Bodine and Richburg interest me the most...and I think if the Bills Draft a Rookie QB to start, you have to invest in a Vet Center.

Ittakestime Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 It's Groy and he was the one that should have got that extension. Better add some years to his deal now.

Formerly Allan in MD Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 We have too many other needs to package high draft picks for a quarterback. Pick one like Woodside or White and sign someone like Bradford or McCown to start (and yes, hopefully they'll stay healthy for a time) and mentor. Hope for the best and fill the holes.
CuddyDark Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Groy or draft one of the good C in this draft. James Daniels.
Mark Vader Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Ryan Groy more likely gets the nod. Still, the Bills will need more players on the O-Line. If they don't address the position in free agency, then I'm all for drafting Mason Cole.
WMDman Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Groy gets the start, between getting paid and by all reports he was basically attached to woods hip during TC it would make sense. Plus he filled in great at the end of the 2016 season when wood went down. I’m also way on board for drafting billy price

BigBuff423 Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Regardless of how the Bills decide to address the issue, without a doubt throws a big monkey in their prior plans for FA and Draft. It will be interesting to see how Beane and company adjust... 1

Also have posted that I want us to go after Hubbard, OT from Steelers. He played a few snaps at C this year and could be our rotational/back-up. Had a couple low snaps, but otherwise fared well and had only played the position a handful of times in practice before that. I love Hubbard and if Groy is looking good at Center we can kick him outside at RT or even at guard . Hubbard can play all 5 spots on the line he'll be in demand this offseason.
