BillsFan74 Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Here are some players that could help change the fortunes in Buffalo and help us make a playoff push. Offense: 1. Matt Birk - Good Vet 3 yr deal plus draft a C prospect 2. Stacey Andrews - A RT Big improvement 3. Brandon Moore - Upgrade at G for less than Dockery 4. Devery Henderson - His age is a plus, price should be less than other vets. Defense: 1. Haynesworth - High price but a beast 2. Derrick Brooks - 2 yr deal draft a young player to groom 3. Brian Dawkins - Useful for 2 yrs.
ROCCEO Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 If these were proposed offseason moves for a Madden franchise, I would say thats a fantastic plan. In real life there's a lot more to it than that. Do you really suppose that a guy like Brooks who has played in Florida his entire collegiate and pro career would want to sign some bogus deal to play in Buffalo on a team that is far from an obvious contender? I would love us to get Brooks, but there's multiple holes in that plan aside from the one I just mentioned. Brooks is exclusively a weakside linebacker. It wouldn't be impossible but it would require positional adjustments from our linebackers. I like Birk. Good plan. really any quality Center or Guard. As far as Andrews, I like him as a player but he's coming off of a major injury and if we sign him I'd hope it was for him to play guard. I think Walker had arguably the best year of any of our lineman. He got shown up on a play here or there but for the most part was solid throughout, he didn't get injured really, and his price is palatable. Brandon Moore could work, the Jets had a solid run game this year. Henderson, we already have a guy like him on our roster, his name is Roscoe Parrish, only he's better. DT is not our primary position of need and although adding a Haynesworth is always good, it may not be in the best interest of the organization to dedicate such a large chunk of change there. Dawkins would be sweet although he doesn't look as nasty as he used to as seems to be perpetually injured. I prefer Sean Jones as a safety signing. What about Amani Toomer, good physical veteran who is accustomed to cold weather. He has size, should come cheap, brings leadership attributes and presents at least a moderate threat in the red zone.
BuckyFillUps Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Jon Vilma TJ Houshmanzadeh Trade our 1st round pick for Kellen WInslow JR.
BuffaloBillsMagic1 Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 Jon VilmaTJ Houshmanzadeh Trade our 1st round pick for Kellen WInslow JR. Brandon Moore for LG Jon Vilma for OLB these should be out top choices of FAs.
DanInSouthBuffalo Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 3. Brandon Moore - Upgrade at G for less than Dockery This is the only one that is realistic. I would also like to see them sign an older WR to a one-year deal as a stop-gap/helper as insurance on Hardy. I think it would do the team and our QB's good to have another veteran. Toomer, Galloway, Bobby Engram would be low risk, high reward.
