Justin Simmons released (now visiting N'awlins)

[Negan]

We got a spot if he wants it.

[BuffaloBillyG]

I mean, would be nice but I'd figure him to be way over our price point for the position.

Wonder how much the Broncos are still on the hook for with him…? 
 

If they are eating some of that salary he could be had for a reasonable price to offset the contract he’d garner on the regular market. He might be opposed to a 1 year deal though… 🤔

Good fit. Of the released guys he has taken over my favorite spot over Eddie Jackson and Rayshawn Jenkins. Any of those three guys would fit and are natural free safeties. I am guessing Simmons will be expensive. 

[Matt_In_NH]

Seems like he will get paid handsomly..........somewhere else

Those other 2 might be better options in terms of $ to play. Both were pretty solid for the Bears and Jags. 
 

You might even be able to get both for a little more than the same price you’d end up paying Simmons…

It would be nice but i'm not sure Beane has that much magic in the bank this year !! I see them getting a safety in the draft !!

[Roundybout]

Unpopular opinion but I would rather find someone younger and cheaper. McD is very good at coaching defensive backs.

I’m with you

[boyst]

the depth of this free agency year is insane.

[HOUSE]

We can't even afford his mother

[gonzo1105]

Geno Stone is the guy I want but don’t know if we can get him 

[SoonerBillsFan]

It comes down to money.

[MJS]

Safeties got WAY overpaid for a few years. I think the market will not be kind to them this year, outside maybe one or two guys.

 

No way should the Bills pay top dollar for a safety. There are too many good options this year to go out and spend that much.

Except for our physical specimen of a first round pick that he doesn't like so he makes him inactive.

Completely agree. I'd want him, but he's going to command top end money.

However, if he draws the market away it's an asset to the Bills

Defensively, yes. For offense it seems to only be the RB and interior OLine that has any substance of quality on that market. 
 

Have a more offense orientated draft and go defense in FA seems to be the smarter approach.

sirius nfl radio said 14 starting or formerly starting centers are avaialble.

😂

 

I have, hence the “RBs and interior OLine”. 
 

WRs, TEs and OTs are all journeymen. Same with QBs; Cousins & Mayfield are it. The only OTs worth anything out there have a load of games under their belt.
