Buffalo Bills Buffalo Bills Offseason Thread: Bills Apparently Think Signing Incognito a Good Idea

[Myllz]

Not sure how I feel about Incognito. He's automatically the best lineman we have, but he's just such an ass. If Rex can figure out a way to keep him from being an idiot, it'll be a good signing, but that's a tall order.

Glenn is a mediocre left tackle. He's overachieved to his credit, but was always projected better on the right side or guard. He'd be a Pro Bowler inside. Only potential target I'd rather have at guard than Glenn is Iupati. And I have hope that Kouandjio can develop inside as well.

Where's the money to get two upgrades at tackle, though? Assuming we re-sign Hughes or otherwise spend a lot somewhere on defense (Revis, for example), I'm not sure we have the money to spend on an expensive position like LT where we already have a solid player. I don't really know most of the free agent list, though. Who will be out there at LT?

That's nowhere near close to being true.

 

[HiddenInLight]

I don't see why taking a shot on him is a bad idea. He is apparently good friends with Eric Wood, and we have the leadership on the team to keep him in check. This is a guy that was a Pro-bowler in his last full season and one of the better ranked Guards in the league in the year he was suspended, which was only a year and a half ago. If the bills think that he will behave himself I see nothing wrong with this move. Low Risk High reward type signing.

Watch them sign Suh, too.

 

[enthusiast]

Watch them sign Suh, too.

Suh - Dareus - Williams

Williams - Brown - Spikes - Alonzo

Revis Gilmore

Williams Williams

I draw a line on that one. His intentionally trying to stop on guys fireman.

 

[Sports Enthusiast]

Money? Years? Assuming one and league minimum?

 

[Husko]

Suh - Dareus - Williams

Williams - Brown - Spikes - Alonzo

Revis Gilmore

Williams Williams

Most expensive defense in the history of the nfl

 

[RoofIt5hole]

Rex does well with a team with a lot of veterans. I'd bet there won't be any problems with Incognito. Rex will keep him in line. And the o line got better. Awesome.

 

[La Cosa Nostra]

And possibly the most talented in nfl history also. That defense would be insane. Three All Pro DL. 2 pro bowl LBers, an elite run stopping LB, a improving and very good young LBer in Brown, the best CB in the game, a pro bowl caliber corner opposite him in Gilmore. The weakest link is the safeties but Aaron Williams is definitely a top 10-15 safety and Duke is getting better also. Find a way to keep Hughes while were at it too

Now back to the real world, I like the Incognito signing. He is a quality guard . Instantly makes the OL better and much tougher. I'm hoping we target Iupati as our #1 free agent target and maybe draft a versatile G/T in the 3rd round.

Glenn-Iupati-Wood-Incognto-Henderson/high draft pick. Have Kouandjio, Richardson, Williams and Urbik provide depth.

So you would rather base where Glenn plays because of what he was projected to do at the draft vs playing well in the actual nfl? Okay.

 

[boots electric]

as big of an idiot as incognito might be, he's most-likely smart enough to realize this is likely the last shot he has to play in the the league. he'll be squeaky clean this season.

i'd be more worried about him if/when he signs another after next season

 

[Digable5]

Rex Ryan said he wanted to be a bully and they just hired an expert in the field....er, on the field.

As much as I don't like Incognito as a person, I think he will be a shrewd pickup for the offense. Just like Spikes, you pick up a player that needs this opportunity for his next contract/NFL career. If even for just one year, he should make us better.

With Ryan and Incognito, even if the team isn't getting wins, they will be getting plenty of media attention. Hard Knocks has got to be on the horizon, no?

 

[vcv]

He's friends with Wood, a leader on the team. I hope they vetted the guy with Wood and trust he will be kept in line.

 

[Kublakhan]

That's nowhere near close to being true.

781 arrests in 2.5 years and that doesn't even count the D-bag part of my statement

Dang where did you find out about their friendship? Didn't know that. Wood isn't rough though. He has been injury prone!

53 players on each active roster x 32 teams says that most of the players in the NFL are not what you described. You're still wrong!

 

[Kublakhan]

I will take out the word "most" and put in "good portion"

Not that it really matters, I don't care what they do in their off-time.. just Sundays,Mondays and sometimes Thursdays lol

And that being said football is the red-headed stepchild to hockey for me so...

 

[Husko]

He's missed 2 games the last 3 seasons, 0 the last 2...

Only time he's missed significant time is when he broke his leg. He's not injury prone at all

 

[dma0034]

1 year 2.25 million

Literally the Bills will save a million by adding him and cutting Pears (and get an upgrade)... even if he is bad they just let him walk away next year.

Hardy is a FA too... wonder if he'll be in demand if the Bills let Hughes go.

 

[CatsforReinhart]

You know he is quoted as saying rifles are good for picking off black people.

Skill does not replace being a descent human being. No way this guy stays in line nor the black players can be happy about this. I think it is a huge mistake.

After 15 years I don't care what you've done. Can you help me win? Welcome to the team.

The ****ing patriots don't give a **** if you are Blount, a cheater, a murderer...and I don't anymore either.

Get me pittsburghs rapist QB and the child beater from Minnesota while we're at it.
