BUFFALOTONE Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 Is there anyone in free agency that can honestly step in and make this team better? I know it was smash and grab in the beginning but there has to be some positives out there.
BillsGuyInMalta Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 There are a couple of decent O-Lineman still out there...guys like Victory Riley, Anthony Clement and Ephraim Salaam have all been starters at OT in their careers. The guy I REALLY want is Tutan Reyes, the Guard from Carolina. Only been in the league 5 years (so he'd fit the trend of signing young guys) and has started the last two years in Carolina. I'd be very happy to give him a shot here...at the very worst, he's better depth than what we've got.

Fastro Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 LaVar Arrington is still available. And hey wait a minute so is Sam Adams!

stuckincincy Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 LaVar Arrington is still available. And hey wait a minute so is Sam Adams! 644457[/snapback] Those two are mentioned in the local Cincy paper sports pages from time to time - B'gals HC Lewis coached both of them. They might offer something to Adams after the draft. I doubt they would be willing to pay much, though. Lewis loves LB's - he's drafted 5 of 'em since he came on board in '03 (one 5th, one 1st, one 2nd, and two 3rd rounders) . He should wise up and get some run-stopping DTs.
Lofton80 Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 Nail Diggs, started for 5 years in GB, was a beast at OSU.
Fastro Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 Well, I hear the 2 former Carolina Panther cheerleaders, who were arrested earlier this year in a bathroom, are still available as FAs. They are both young (20 and 26), aggressive, good with their hands and recently released by the Panthers. I think they both could signed for a minimum signing bonus and salary (maybe a few drinks each). I am sure they would bring valuable teamwork skills and a boost in morale to the Bill's locker room.

In fact, I will even go out on a limb and become the "personal advisor" for the 2 girls. Its the least I could do for the Bills and for my country.
Tipster19 Posted March 29, 2006 Posted March 29, 2006 You may have to look at the RFAs to be able to find anyone of substance. There is KC's T Jordan Black. He's tendered at a 5th rd pick. Of course they can match an offer for him but here is some food for thought. Trade them Moulds and our 4th rd pick (#105) for Black and their 3rd rd pick (#85). That's a difference of 81 points on the value chart. It equates right in between #106 (82 pts) and #107 (80 pts) selection in the 4th rd. They fill a big time need at the WR position and move themselves out of the 3rd rd and into the 4th, where they don't have a selection. We, on the other hand, get a good, young talent that helps strengthen a weakness, move into another first day selection in the draft and end this Moulds debaticle and reduce our salary cap hit.
cale Posted March 29, 2006 Posted March 29, 2006 I wouldn't mind getting Brentson Buckner in here for a look. He's older but a great locker room guy...Plus he would be a good mentor for our younger DTs. Charles
