WVUFootball29 Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 This is the list from Theredzone.org of the Bills FAs this year. I dont know how accurate it is because some of their other FA lists are off. Anderson, Tim DT RFA Clements, Nate CB UFA Davis, Andre WR UFA Fletcher-Baker, London LB UFA Gandy, Mike OL UFA Greer, Jabari CB RFA Hargrove, Anthony DE RFA Kelsay, Chris DE UFA Lindell, Rian PK UFA Preston, Duke OL ERFA Shelton, Daimon FB UFA Thomas, Anthony RB UFA Thomas, Kiwaukee CB UFA Williams, Shaud RB RFA Wire, Coy S UFA Now here's the way I see things going this offseason: Tim Anderson will probably get resigned for a minimal contract, though I'm sure we'd all like to see him pack his bags for good. Clements will probably head to Washington to collect the big payday and be reunited with Greggo and company Andre Davis played well on ST and deserves another year for a minimal contract Fletcher is on the fence right now. I think he'll be back, but I wont be surprised if he tests the market for one last big payday. I wouldnt mind seeing Gandy resigned, but we definately need an upgrade at starter. Greer probably won't be offered another contract. Anthony Hargrove will probably find a way back on this team next year. Kelsay will be the easiest of the Big 3 to resign and in all likelihood will be the only one of them to return Lindell is already extended...good job Duke Preston will be back Shelton may be back, but I as well as many others would prefer to go with a younger FB Anthony Thomas definately deserves another contract year, but he's going to have to improve production in 2007 Kiwaukee Thomas should be resigned if Clements walks. He played well the second half of the year and we will need a veteran presence in the Defensive backfield Shaud Williams will not be back Coy Wire's versatility and ST play will find him a spot on this roster once again, much to the dismay of many TBDers. Thoughts, comments, hate mail.
ganesh Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 Kelsay will be the easiest of the Big 3 to resign and in all likelihood will be the only one of dismay of many TBDers. Kelsay will get some good offers (like Larry Triplett last year) as it is hard to find good pass rushers and Kelsay is on the rise. I doubt Kelsay re-signs back with the Bills.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 Kelsay will get some good offers (like Larry Triplett last year) as it is hard to find good pass rushers and Kelsay is on the rise. I doubt Kelsay re-signs back with the Bills. He sounds like he really wants to be here--I think that's a good sign.
Astrobot Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 Who else but Kelsay would do the ads on TV for The Barnes Firm?
bills_fan Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 I have no problems letting Kelsay and Fletcher walk. We can draft a DE in the 2nd or 3rd round and a LB in the 1st. I'd give Nate Champ Bailey money to re-sign.
Pirate Angel Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 I dont think they are going to resign Kelsay and Hargrove, Considering the Kelsay really isnt an improvement over Denny and Hargrove played well, hargrove will be cheaper and someone will pay alot more money for Kelsay
The Jokeman Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 Who else but Kelsay would do the ads on TV for The Barnes Firm? Well Antoine Winfield did them before Kelsay, so maybe it's a kiss of death to do the ads, I'd vote for Coy Wire could do them.
Dibs Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 Anderson, Tim DT RFA GONE Clements, Nate CB UFA GONE Davis, Andre WR UFA Will depend on other WR acquisitions Fletcher-Baker, London LB UFA GONE Gandy, Mike OL UFA GONE Greer, Jabari CB RFA Will depend on other CB acquisitions Hargrove, Anthony DE RFA STAYS Cheaper alternative than Kelsay Kelsay, Chris DE UFA GONE Lindell, Rian PK UFA Already re-signed Preston, Duke OL ERFA STAYS for experienced cheap depth Shelton, Daimon FB UFA GONE Thomas, Anthony RB UFA STAYSa very good value #2 RB Thomas, Kiwaukee CB UFA STAYS Even if we keep NC, this guy proved he can help the team Williams, Shaud RB RFA Will depend on other RB acquisitions Wire, Coy S UFA STAYS just to annoy people
dfwbillsfan Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 Ok, let's assume that the Bills retain two of their FA's, sign two FA's from outside the organization, and five of the Bills draft picks make the 53 man roster. The Bills would still have to eliminate seven players from its current roster. I know I posted about this on another thread but this is a good problem to have. My Survivor Orchard Park losers under these circumstances would be London Fletcher, Chris Kelsay, Kevin Everitt, Duke Preston, Tim Anderson, Andre Davis, and George Wilson. Another I would consider cutting would be Coy Wire I really don't believe he figures into the future of the organization anyway.My FA keepers would be Nate Clements and Mike Gandy.
nick in* england Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 Anderson, Tim DT RFA Gone Clements, Nate CB UFA Gone Davis, Andre WR UFA Back - special teams value Fletcher-Baker, London LB UFA Gone Gandy, Mike OL UFA Back - your starting LG in 2007 Greer, Jabari CB RFA Gone Hargrove, Anthony DE RFA Back Kelsay, Chris DE UFA Back - too hard to find a decent-ish end to pair with AS Lindell, Rian PK UFA Back Preston, Duke OL ERFA ERFA=Back Shelton, Daimon FB UFA Gone - too bad he got injured Thomas, Anthony RB UFA Back - a good foil for Willis Thomas, Kiwaukee CB UFA Back - decent Nickel Williams, Shaud RB RFA Gone - man from the former regime Wire, Coy S UFA Back for his special teams value and LB potential
Matt in KC Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 Ok, let's assume that the Bills retain two of their FA's, sign two FA's from outside the organization, and five of the Bills draft picks make the 53 man roster. The Bills would still have to eliminate seven players from its current roster. Sorry, I'm not sure I get your math. Maybe it's because I'm just starting to drink my coffee, but it sounds like you're saying Bills lose seven or so free agents (retaining only two) sign two free agents and sign five draft picks. That sounds like -7 + 2 + 5 = ? ..and you're saying it equals seven more than we started with?
