Juice_32 Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 Even if we sign him I'd expect us to take a center at some point in this draft. There is a good bit of depth there this year.
26CornerBlitz Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 Just now, ALF said: Maybe they have Groy penciled in as a future replacement for Richie at RG. He was a good replacement for Wood for what little I know. Incognito is the LG and they could have easily tried him at G to compete with Ducasse/Miller last season.
RyanC883 Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 I jsut remember most of us thought "who is this Poyer guy at Safety." So I trust the Bills FO and their NFL scouts. A lot more hits than misses. And this is a low cost depth option.

He could compete with Groy. Bodine I believe is a center only, whereas Groy could play guard. ...which may be a good thing as in preserving Groy's versatility......question: if he signs, do you still potentially target a center late in the draft?...he is coming off pretty reasonable money...think we were paying Wood $8 mil........ Russell Bodine signed a 4 year, $2,676,456 contract (2014)with the Cincinnati Bengals, including a $456,456 signing bonus, $456,456 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $669,114.

Kmart128 Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 Cheap starter for sure. He is ranked as 26th best Center in football. Not the best but just have to be a top 32 Center to be thought of as a starting Center. What I like most about this is he is a good ole country boy... Gotta love the blue collar players we are bringing in for our trenches. Him, Murphy, and Compton all have those same qualities

They must feel like they can upgrade with a prospect like Price or Daniels. It’s Bengles 26... the expansion team ? 1
oldmanfan Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 This is what the scouts and front office people get paid for, finding under the radar guys that hopefully contribute

Elite Poster Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 Depth doesn't have to be great. 5 minutes ago, 26CornerBlitz said: Like Poyer for instance. Hard to compare between positions, especially center. Usually if you are a below average center, you will always be a below average center. How many OL change teams and all of a sudden become much better?
baskingridgebillsfan Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 2 things, national media yet again doesn't know the Bills roster . Groy was at worst average when he started for wood two years ago 2. Coming out of school Bodine was listed at someone who could play guard or center. This could simply be a depth signing . 7 minutes ago, oldmanfan said: Bingo. And Whaley was actually pretty good at it in his day as well agreed. Whaley was good and dumpster diving. He would have never went to battle with that running back group last year .
YoloinOhio Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 I’m pretty sure @Bandit liked this guy last time he was a FA.
BuffAlone Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 I just wonder wth they're wasting time on FA visits when they should be on the phones with NYG all day today? Weird! Almost like there's still business to conduct?

Vlad and Dawkins are the only ones of the top 6 OL signed for next year. OL needs work.
