Mike32282 Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 The Bills today announced that the team has signed restricted free agent WR Sam Aiken. In accordance with club policy, terms of the contract were not disclosed. Originally a fourth-round draft pick by the Bills in 2003, Aiken has played in 37 games, starting two, over the past three seasons. A key contributor to the Bills top-ranked coverage units, Aiken finished second on the team with 24 special teams tackles last season. Aiken also started two games at wide receiver in 2005 and caught four passes for 57 yards. http://www.buffalobills.com/news/news.jsp?news_id=3683
apuszczalowski Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 Yes, things are starting to look bright for the Bills next year 2007 SB champs????????
CJPearl2 Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 Good move. Regardless of if he repalces Moulds, Aiken was clearly one of the top special team players in the league the past couple years.

I still say that he may compete to replace Eric Moulds. I love his size. If he learns how to separate himself fromthe CBs...he's built like Moulds and could be a good replacement if given a chance.
Stl Bills Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 Gotta love him on special teams though, he's a great gunner
nodnarb Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 Just a thought... The Bills now have 8 WRs under contract. This is a bad draft for WRs. There aren't many good WRs available in FA, if there are any at all beyond Moulds. The Bills have a lotta value at this position that they could potentially use to make moves at some point...
BUFFALOTONE Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 Might as well be Clay 644759[/snapback] NICE!

We can have ten guys call them WR and they couldnt catch a cold. I like the thought of how the Pats went about it. You dont need a name brand to catch a ball just a guy with 2 hands. The had a group of no name recievers and I think they made out ok. I like what the Bills are doing as far as skill positions go, davis will be a better aquisition then we think(barring he stays healthy) Lee is going to spread the field and hopefully we can get a tight end to catch the ball. Lets make it so defenses cant sit 8 in the box and dare us to throw it.
ans4e64 Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 Gotta love him on special teams though, he's a great gunner 644775[/snapback] i feel the same way, and with marv loving the ST im surprised he wasnt signed a little earlier good move
Pyrate Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 So we locked up every RFA we tendered an offer to for at least 2 seasons WAy to keep the special team intact boys!

That to me, was one of TD's failures. He'd become so obsessed with whichever side of the ball was struggling that he'd neglect the side that was doing well.
Oneonta Buffalo Fan Posted March 29, 2006 Posted March 29, 2006 Per kffl I'm so happy about this. He is an awesome special teams player.
cantankerous Posted March 29, 2006 Posted March 29, 2006 He's a great special teamer...and can make an occaisional grab or two when he's actually in on offense. This isn't a suprise though, I had a feeling he'd be back!
