OldTimeAFLGuy Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 1 hour ago, Logic said: Agreed on the plan for the 9 spot. As for Long: The best case scenario for the Bills is that Teller wins one guard job outright, and Feliciano or Boettger win the other. This would allow Long to be high quality swing depth along the interior. No matter how it works out in the end, I have confidence that the o-line will be much improved. If the Bills had to line up and start the season next Sunday, I already think the team would be leaps and bounds better than it was last year, based solely on our free agent additions. The fact that we still have 10 picks in April is icing on the cake. ...back to Spain for a minute bud....what number do you think lands him?............

If they sign him, there will be a lot of completion at the guard spot--heck, there already is. Well, that's sure to up the penalties. Maybe we should encourage Allen to throw to the wide receivers instead?

With the caveat that this will be a complete guess, based on looking at Spencer Long and Roger Saffold and Kalechi Osemele's contracts to form a base line range... I believe Spain wants a lucrative contract and teams aren't biting due to his 2018 and 2017 seasons not being up to the caliber of pay that he likely wants. As such, a 1-year prove it deal is probably the most likely outcome. Based on his age, recent production, and the contracts of the players mentioned above, I'd guess that a one year, $4-5Million deal could get it done. I could be way off, but that's my line of thinking. *Edit: I should have said that's what I think his true VALUE is. Will he settle for that amount? Who knows. He may think he's more in the $8-10M range, and that's why no one has signed him yet. Edited March 23, 2019 by Logic 1

MAJBobby Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 What I am seeing from all the OL signings and who they are talking with is they are all very good pass protecting. Could it be I might see a modern NFL Offense in Buffalo. 2
That's No Moon Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 How much extra for him to bring Sarah Spain with him?

gordong Posted March 24, 2019 Posted March 24, 2019 hope they sign this guy..... I would feel like they have seriously addresses the line with this (or another) signing.
JPP Posted March 24, 2019 Posted March 24, 2019 They are finally adding players to help our QB....which is what they should be doing....and very very impressed to say the least so far! 1

If they draft a T day 1or 2 Dawkins will have a very direct message sent. And if I'm Teller I wouldn't sign a long term rental on my condo. Some had a chub for Teller- I think he is very raw and not athletic at all. Brute strength without technique spells doom in todays NFL.

scribo Posted March 24, 2019 Posted March 24, 2019 First, these very tall, wide-bodies are finally possible because we have a tall QB. Based what I see from him on Twitter, I think Spain may want more than anyone is willing to pay right now. May have to wait a bit.
