Weren't all of the locker room interviews with Miami players supporting Incognito?

I think he is a good fit for the Bills ground and pound offense, but I would be more worried about the OL still instead of the locker room.

 

[Husko]

S is only really a need if we don't re-sign Searcy.

CB I wouldn't classify as a need so much as a position we could improve on, but definitely not a "need."

OL, OL, OL is need need need.

 

[NotABadPeriod]

TE is definitely higher on the list than CB.

TE is definitely higher on the list than CB.

I'd put it in the same box. Area that is fine, as in we have dependable starters, but if there's a chance for a legit upgrade I'd do it. I wouldn't just go sign some middle of the road TE just for kicks, but if we could get a true difference maker I'd do it.

man, I feel like chandler is underrated. te is a leaguewide thin position

If the Bills had a roster full of Scott Chandler caliber players at every position, their record would be 6-10. He's mediocre at best. An upgrade is sorely needed.

 

[5 Minute Major]

RB is a big need, IMO, with the ground and pound approach. Freddy is old as gets dinged up a lot more frequently. Boobie is what he is and Bryce Brown is a big question mark.

 

[Paxon]

He's not a big play guy but he's a reliable starting TE. We'd all like to see a vertical threat TE but those are in limited supply. I'll always be fine with drafting a TE but I don't know if we could reasonably upgrade Chandler in free agency.

 

[Paxon]

Needs: RB, QB (lol), OL, CB, S?

In order I'd go: RB, OL, QB, S, CB, TE

I put QB third because what we "realistically" need is a vet back-up who can fight for the job, which isn't a massive need. That player is always available in free agency. Yeah, we need a franchise guy, but that's not in the cards here.

I mean, he's not a great player in a vacuum, but NFL TEs aren't all that great.

 

[Husko]

The problem with RB is we have so much meh it gets in the way. Like, are we going to keep 4 RBs on the active gameday roster? Seems excessive. If not, we're either going with FJ, Dixon, and Brown or bringing someone in that pushes one of them to the inactive list, which seems like such a waste. Whaley has said he still like Brown, so I wonder. Honestly, we probably only should have one of Dixon/Jackson now that Jackson really should just be a role player getting 10 snaps a game.

If Bradford becomes available I pull the trigger on him in a heartbeat. He could be a franchise guy

They could go after a FB though for that power running game. Maybe bring Summers back. Did Roman use the FB in SF or is an H-back like Grey going to be good enough?

 

[Sports Enthusiast]

I can't believe the Lions are looking at Tahj Boyd. That's a guy the Bills should be bringing in. Not a team who has a QB

They've had Bruce Miller for years. In 2013 he had 25 receptions on 36 targets, last year 18 on 25. Given the time he'd have to be on the field to get those targets, that he's a great FB, and the emphasis on running SF had, I imagine he saw the field as a lead blocker a good amount of time.

I'd rather have Gray be my QB then Boyd. He was terrible in college and in the pros.

 

[Samsonite23]

Mike glennon anybody? I think he has some potential at least.

At this point they should be open to anyone...even Nassib.

Yea cuz Gronk is just an ok player.

Jordan Cameron would be a significant upgrade. I'd love that signing.

Until he misses another huge chunk of time with another concussion.

Cameron is a solid player if he can stay healthy. He would be a solid roll of the dice. But, he's a total boom or bust signing with the health concerns.

The same can be said about Sam Bradford.

Yea, he had a rough 2014 season with injuries and a bad concussion but He'd certainly be worth looking into depending on his price. I can't imagine he'd be too expensive. Nowhere near Julius Thomas money at least.

 

[Jim Bob]

True. And that's why people think that the Rams will cut him. I wouldn't be so sure with how good that defense is right now.

Update:

http://www.stltoday.com/sports/foot...cle_0fd090c2-889d-5c5b-8264-cc665a85dd7e.html

The Rams are expected to restructure Bradford's contract and not cut him.

Charles Clay is a guy that doesn't have the big name like Julius Thomas and might be just as valuable as a UFA pick up.

And Cameron's injury issues aren't just this year. He only played 8 games as a rookie, as well.
