ngbills Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) Here are some of the bigger name remaining free agents. Highlighting ones that the Bills could use. What are your wants? Ansah: Bills talking to do. Would be a good signing at right price (obviously) Houston: Ansah or Houston? Callahan: Do we need one more CB? Suh: Need another DT. On the cheaps yes; Big $ that will be a no. Berry: Unlikely Jernigan: Younger DT. Good pick up at right price. Matthews: Blah, seen better days. Dennard: Slot corner - maybe? Cook: Not bad idea unless going TE in draft. Caught 68 passes last year. Barron: Unlikely Darby: Maybe, could use him. Crowell: Rather go RB in draft Yeldon: Same as above on RB Breeland: Another CB option Cobb: Could maybe see it. Competition with the other similar guys we have brought in. Cut whoever loses out.

rodneykm Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 TJ Yeldon would be a good pickup. Very good. He's only 25. 1
Rc2catch Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 Other than Jared cook I don’t see many of those guys being a fit. Mathews and Houston I can’t see playing end, and we don’t blitz the linebackers much we ask them to cover a ton which are not strengths of those 2. Ansah I’m guessing if he’s healthy and they wanted him at his asking price would have already been signed. I can’t see them doing much else unless it’s a huge bargain price
JustWinPlease Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) I would REALLY like another OLB that can split time with Lorenzo Alexander (and take over next year)... Anthony Barr was #1 on my list, but I knew that was a long-shot. Shaq Barrett would have been a really nice addition, but he just signed for cheap. Shane Ray could learn a lot from Lorenzo Alexander, and like Kevin Johnson he would be a former 1st round reclamation project for McDermott. After that, all that is left is Thomas Davis...he would add great leadership, but would only be a one-year stop-gap. (Jake Ryan and Brandon Marshall are ILB who could potentially play OLB...and Zach Brown has the speed to play OLB, but I'm not sure he's ever played there.) Maybe they draft a young OLB, I don't have much faith in Julian Stanford or Deon Lacey. (Unless Corey Thompson forces his way onto the team.) I'd also like them to look into Randall Cobb on a cheap, incentive-laden deal...same with a pass-catching TE like Eifert or Seferian-Jenkins. Edited March 15, 2019 by JustWinPlease

Thomas Davis signed with the Chargers and Zach Brown has been OLB his entire career so not sure what you’re getting at there. Edited March 15, 2019 by CaptnCoke11
John from Riverside Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 Didnt TJ Yeldon already sign with someone?
oldmanfan Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 I think they may stand pat for a while. See what comes to them in the draft.

Which is exactly what I said...but I'm getting at the fact that the Bills desperately need another capable OLB. Hell, they need another ILB too. If one of their starters go down, they have nobody capable of starting for them. 7 minutes ago, Wsam4031 said: Davis signed with the Chargers Thanks, didn't see it. 9 minutes ago, WMDman said: i still think we sign Ziggy The Saints signed Mario Edwards...maybe that means they're out on Ansah.

John from Riverside Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 It will be interesting to see how the Ziggy thing works out....it looks like his market is limited
