njbuff Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Now with James off the market, who else is out there?

Cameron Fleming has youth on his side and worked with Daboll in New England. LaAdrian Waddle is a depth guy that did start in Detroit when our olineman coach was an assistant there. 1

thebandit27 Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 If we're talking starters, then you're basically down to Williams, Parnell, and maybe Nsehke or Veldheer as placeholders. You could also wait for a guy like Donald Penn to be released, or try to swing a trade with Philly for Vaitai. 1 1

You could also wait for a guy like Donald Penn to be released, or try to swing a trade with Philly for Vaitai. I wouldn't want Donald Penn... Simply because he and others close to him, or maybe it was like Geoff Schwartz and other former OL on Twitter, saying flat out his injury last year was due to the Raiders flipping him to RT. Basically his body was so used to going through the stresses placed on it dropping back in one way from playing LT for so long that trying to flip and mirror all of it at RT led to overcompensating and injury. I'll go ahead and skip that mess. Find a guard in free agency and get a RT in the draft (Jonah Williams, Jawaan Taylor, Andre Dillard)
Codyny13 Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Has anyone heard anything about Williams? Googling his name, I haven’t seen any news
CaptnCoke11 Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Pretty thin out there now other than Williams. I’d they don’t sign him it will probably be the draft or a one year stop gap guy.
CommonCents Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 With James signed you’d have to think Williams goes today. If the Bills land him FA is a success. 1

st pete gogolak Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Yeah, Juwaan Taylor. Seriously, if not Williams, there goes any flexibility we have going into the draft. #9 has to be OL.

Chuck Wagon Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 I really want Williams or Saffold (I really want both...) getting one of them would go a long way towards solidifying the line, free us up to truly go BPA at #9 and look for one more line piece in round 2 or 3. 1
BillsCuse Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 With James getting 13 Million per year, do you guys think Williams will now want at least that? Being the best tackle left, I'd guess he does. Think he's worth it with his injury history? Im undecided, I would love to have him here, but wondering if taking someone like Jawan Taylor at 9 would be better on a much cheaper deal (even though would be unproven)
billspro Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 If we miss out on Williams we should be hoping for Taylor in round 1 1
