Buftex Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 It appears the Bills are not interested in signing any older offensive linemen, only projects, and journeymen. Kind of like the last administration...Flanigan has signed with the Texans...."hello, Trey, this is Marv....you want to come back and play for the Bills?" I am not seeing many better options.... http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2382179
2003Contenders Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 Actually, call me silly, but if Teague remains unsigned -- and is willing to come back to Buffalo on the cheap, I would not balk at that. I wouldn't want him as a starter, but he provides smart, veteran depth at multiple positions.

I am not seeing many better options.... http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2382179 641202[/snapback] i think the strategy is obvious -- hoard cap room for next year when more cap room is created.......mike williams and lawyer milloy are completely off the cap in '07.........nate will see his cap number reduced, either through an extension or a trade.......fletcher is in the last year of his 5M cap hit contract........takeo will likely be restructured, extended, or released.......the only real problem deal after this season will be moulds, which very well might be resolved this off-season anyway....... so the bills are targetting young players with an eye towards keeping as much cap room as possible open for '07.........makes sense to me.......
BillsGuyInMalta Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 The Packers, who are like 30 million dollars under the cap and have an even worse interior O-Line than we do, didnt seem to motivated to bring him back. That alone is a red flag to me over Flanagan. To be honest, I'm very happy with Melvin Fowler, I was a fan of him when he came out into the Draft so hey...I got my wish, 5 years later.

Maybe he knew that it wasn't his best position. I don't know that he could be re-signed as a starter, but he certainly would seem to add some versatility, and experience to the line. Call me nuts, even though the Bills appear to be in the midst of a youth movement, some vetran role players can be beneficial to the young guys learning. Who knows, maybe McNally thinks he is a stiff. All I know is that Teauge had stretches of playing decent football. Another team will sign him for pennies, and feel like they are getting a bargain...like we would, if we were signing him from another team....

34-78-83 Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 Any word on Kenyatta Walker? 641232[/snapback] Nothings changed. He still sucks
