Tipster19 Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 Oh well back to the drawing board. Any suggestions?
BillsGuyInMalta Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 Time to clear the bridge, we got a new wave coming in.
Justice Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 n/m 277156[/snapback] Uh Oh, the sky is falling now!
Dr. Fong Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 Oh well. I don't want a guy on the Bills that would rather play for the Lions anyway. So it all works out OK.
Justice Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 What kind've offer did the Bills give that they couldn't beat a two year offer?
d_wag Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 What kind've offer did the Bills give that they couldn't beat a two year offer? 277168[/snapback] we'll find out soon enough once the terms of his deal with DET come out........
BillsGuyInMalta Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 Its interesting, the Bills are clearing the cap space for someone...here's hoping that we can still land Shelton. At this point, I'd be willing to part with a 3rd rounder for him...keep Teague and center and then draft the best available Guard to compete with Gandy and Tucker for that LG spot.
JoeF Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 What kind've offer did the Bills give that they couldn't beat a two year offer? 277168[/snapback] Did we make an offer? Who knows? We may never have been in the game on this one....
Dr. Fong Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 I'm glad the Bills didn't break the bank for a guard anyway. I'm sure he's a great player, but I think his value is a little inflated based on the line that he played on.

I'm sure he's a great player, but I think his value is a little inflated based on the line that he played on. 277177[/snapback] we'll see how inflated it was shortly.......given the length of the deal i don't think his contract will prove to be that out of line, but the signing bonus and salary will be the meat.........
BillsGuyInMalta Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 Looking at the FA Guards still out there, our options are pretty slim. Its Anderson and Neil from the Broncos, and then Gray from Seattle. Each of them have glaring holes in their game though.

I was just talking in general about his perceived value to fans.
stuckincincy Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 Oh well back to the drawing board. Any suggestions? 277160[/snapback] Sure. Detriot among others realizes that there's a 3 year window at best to win the prize in the FA era, and the Bills don't.

Stevie Ray Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 Its kind of dissapointing that at the start of free agency, the list of available gurads was pretty extesive and many of us felt we would definitely get one of those names, especially since its an obvious need. A few weeks later and we have Gandy to show for it, with slim pickings left. Still, I have faith in the OBD braintrust, its wavering, but still there.
Frez Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 Damn it! He would have helped the offensive line. I really was hoping the Bills picked him up. I'm not sure who is left in FA for a guard? I'm hoping TD can find us a starting guard in FA so we don't have to use a draft pick on one and plug in a rookie. sh--!
cgang Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 I think I figured out TD's strategy- just have JP run his a$! off and hope the leg holds up.
