Wys, This article adresses your agruement, that if we keep Price we can't fix the D.
In the case of Peerless Price, Buffalo Bills GM Tom Donahoe, to his credit, decided to use one of the few negotiating tools available to teams each year to keep a star player they drafted and developed from jumping ship unimpeded. More
Still, doing all this would be tricky because you still have to take account that Winfield, Henry, Schoebel, Jennings and Sullivan will al be FA in the next 2 years.
I think CP showed this and now the D&C showed it. We can still pay Price and fix our D.

Still, Donahoe’s decision has made some fans fearful that committing a one-year salary of $5.01 million to Price has compromised the Bills’ ability to address obvious defensive holes.
It’s not true.
If the Bills aren’t afraid to go through a couple boxes of No. 2 pencils, they can have it all, a team official confirmed.
As is done frequently in the NFL, a long-term deal for Price can be back-loaded, giving the club low cap numbers early on that would complement those of receiving mate Eric Moulds.
If Buffalo can tie up $7 million in cap space for linemen Ruben Brown and Mike Williams in 2003, why not around $8 million or so for Moulds and Price?
About $7 million in additional cap space can be found by cutting fullback Larry Centers, strong safety Billy Jenkins, cornerback Chris Watson, linebacker Eddie Robinson and tight end Jay Riemersma, although Riemersma shouldn’t be put to the curb with haste.
Furthermore, Bledsoe and Moulds are more than willing to restructure their deals to keep Price a part of Buffalo’s Big Four, with running back Travis Henry.
