Which of these former Bills would you like to see back on the roster?

[Mark Vader]

Go

[bigK14094]

wyatt Teller

[RichRiderBills]

Looks like OP is asking about available players. I'll take Beezer back at 2 million per year aka "Sammy Watkins money".

 

Guy is a great outlet. 

[TheBrownBear]

I'd be happy to see Klein and Hughes return at the right price.

[BillsfaninSB]

Andre Roberts. 

[Ed_Formerly_of_Roch]

I voted for Hughes only because it wouldn't shock me to see the Bills trade Epinesa, if so that would open up a roster spot for a DE.

 

Beasley they have two slot guys so a no for him.  I'd rather see a guy like Sanders come back as he can play outside.

 

Same with Williams, unless they don't draft any interior lineman, just don't see a roster spot for him

[freddyjj]

I voted Other...

Vontae Davis, for the back half of his last game check

Trade him for what? A Big Mac?

[Alphadawg7]

My heart:  Hughes, would love for him to get a ring here.

 

Who could help the most:  Beasley, still a good weapon on down and short, 3rd/4th down conversions.

Wouldn't be a 'bring back' thread if I didn't 'bring back' Duke Williams.

If I recall they were able to trade Russell Bodine for a 6th rounder so anything is possible.  At this point I'd argue Epinesa has more upside than Bodine IMO.

I went with Hughes.  He's been a good player on the team for a long time and he still has some gas in the tank.  He may not be as effective as he once was, but I believe he has value as a backup or rotational player.  He might also surprise statistically if Von Miller is on the other side and has to be accounted for (assuming they don't exclusively play on the same side - and I honestly don't know, but I'm sure many others on the board do).   Hughes has also gotten past his penalty issues from a few years ago and has become a real team leader who is a good locker room influence.  It would also be great for him to be a part of what could be a very special season for the Bills.

 

Williams and Klein can both still play and contribute and I wouldn't mind seeing them at the right price, although the signing of Saffold, matching the offer to Bates, signing Quesenberry (sp?), and re-signing Ike seem to indicate that Williams is done.  Beasley is done.  In addition to him appearing to lose a step, the Bills have already signed Crowder, a younger guy, to play the slot for less money, and it appears that some bridges were burned between Beas and the team, some (or more) of which could be related to the whole COVID vaccination thing.  While the team may not have agreed with his stance on vaccination, I believe that they would have accepted it and been fine with it if he had not made such a spectacle of it on social media.  I don't know that it had a major impact on the team one way or the other, but it was a distraction.

Why is Gilmore not on that list?

Because he’s under contract with the Colts?  🤷‍♂️

 

I like the Wyatt Teller answer, but are we talking just people who are available? I just looked, and Teller signed a 4 year contract extension for almost $57 Mil. Good for him! You can’t be right 100% of the time.

And all of the other players on the list were on last season's team - Gilmore was not.

I guess “back” is a relative term. 

 

BTW, I agree Beasley might help the most, but I did not appreciate the distraction he caused. I’d love to have Hughes get a ring with us if he’s willing to do it on the cheap. Having Von might help free him up. I voted for Jerry.

It's players who were on last years team and are currently free agents.

I’d like Jerry to be there for a SB
