He throws a lot at the wall hoping for something to stick. Last year he said the Rams were trading for Odell Beckham Jr. and paying him $100 million. That said, Saffold would be a nice get for the Bills. Didn’t he just sign a big deal like last year?

njbuff Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 Looks like the Bills will be spending close to $40 million of their cap space to sign 3 starting offensive lineman............. and we all should be perfectly fine with that.

ndirish1978 Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 I don't want to move Dawkins to the right side. There are plenty of decent RTs available in FA and in the draft, it's harder to pick up a solid LT.

JerseyBills Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 (edited) That'd be huge! I really trust this staffs judgement. I think they solidify the OL/TE positions for years in this draft/FA. Just like they basically solidified their defense in 2 years. This team is coming in 2019 Edited February 28, 2019 by JerseyBills
Franchiseneedsme Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 Umm yes please. The $10 doesn't scare me. Sign 3 top lineman. Give them all 5 years at $50m, and give them all $20m year one. We have the room to do it and then after the 1st year, they are all on 4 year deals with $30m remaining. That a $7.5m average. We would have a top OL for Bargan prices for Josh's most important years. Then after this season. We would have a real title shot, right when Brady is done. Filling every hole this year wont work or be a good long term plan
BillsSB2020 Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 What I don't quite understand is the collective dismissal of virtually every FA purportedly linked to the Bills citing dollar figures as the primary deterrent. We have like 80 mil in cap space. We're going to have to spend it somewhere and we're not gonna find PERFECT players in free agency. Saffold would instantly improve the line.

The skill position players in FA do nothing for me and the college lineman are not being developed properly. Fix the lines in FA and draft nothing but skill players. This draft is loaded with good o linemen. Past years I agree.

As it stands he is in a good situation in LA from location, team and coaching standpoint. Obviously, we can pay more but I think he will stay in tinsel town. They will overspend for one veteran lineman who would be a leader of the o line. They want a leader in every room, and they don't have a leader on the o line. Dawkins is the leader in training. I agree about getting younger guys, but they need a leader. 2
RocCityRoller Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 Ill take Saffold and Daryl Williams and draft the Center that Josh Allen plays with for his career.

Also said the Giants were prepared to make Andrew Norwell the highest paid guard in football. The latter part was expected, but once again he had the team wrong. Perhaps Forbes just has bad sources when it comes to the Giants. There was also this post when he claimed Matt Paradis wasn't well liked in the Broncos locker room... Which was ripped apart by Paradis' former teammates. Like I said, he throws a lot out there hoping something sticks. An earlier post by Forbes said the Bills were interested in Saffold, Glowinski (before he re-signed), Mitch Morse and Daryl Williams. Considering Buffalo's need for OL, he's taking a shot at the Bills landing one of them so he can claim to be first with the news. 1
GimmeSomeProcess Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 Sign me up, him and Dawkins would be great on the left side. He’s a little long in the tooth but he can play at a high level for another 2 or 3 years.
GunnerBill Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 12 hours ago, Nihilarian said: One reason Saffold looked so good was that he had a solid LT next to him in Andrew Whitworth, who just decided he would play another year. Surprising really because of Rams center John Sullivan played so poorly in the second half of last year. Kind of interesting that all five Rams linemen played in all 16 games. Anyway, he would be a huge upgrade over what Buffalo now has at LG. Not really at Richie Incognito's level but at 6'5'' 323lbs he should hold his own. Only one hold penalty last year, 4 false starts. Yep - that is exactly where I am. Saffold was kind of in and out his early years in LA. We shouldn't forget he was drafted to play LT and was pretty much a bust there. He only stayed in LA after failing a medical in Oakland. He has been much better since Whitworth arrived to play next to him. He is not an elite guard by any stretch but he would instantly become the best guard on this roster. I'd still prefer Quinton Spain or Ramon Foster but I'd take Saffold. Saffold and Spencer Long would be immediate upgrades at guard on what we put out there in 2018.

This can not be stressed enough and let's hope and pray that our front office knows this. Use mid to late rds pks on O-Line that can be developed in time but for now let's add 3 guys in free agency. 2
