All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Here's a link to ESPN's NFL transaction page. I know there are several threads devoted to "Don't bring up every player released as someone the Bills should sign," but I gotta think that with the lack of veterans on the OL and DL that the Bills are going to at least consider some of the players released.
Even if it's just for a tryout to see if they could be better than what we have
My list
Vikes QB Mike McMahon
Titans RB Jarrett Payton (son of Sweetness)
Just a couple of intriguing names is all..no one really thrills me from the list of cuts so far
Mike McMahon? you mean the one who lost is job to a rookie the one who played for Philly Detroit and Minnesota? NO WAY! Jarret Payton isn't need the only RB I'd consider is Najeh Davenport
I gotta think DE Carlos Hall released from KC or O. Harris from Pitt would be an upgrade from Eric Powell. Also, Shaud Williams is a poor man's Quentin Griffin, whom was also released from KC. He might be worth bringing in.
From Minnesota, Guard Liewinski would provide some good depth in the interior OL. Davenport was released from GB, but I don't know if he would bring anything to the table that A-Train doesn't bring. OT Petitti was dropped by Dallas, he started some last year and would be a good backup to Gandy and Peters since there are only rookies backing them up right now. Dan Klecko was released from the Pats, he fits the mold of a "quick DT" the cover 2 is looking for.
The bottom line is that the Bills aren't that great and can use some help depthwise on their roster. Any guy picked up won't be able to help too much and could only help probably in spot situations and/or special teams. I wouldn't expect anyone picked up (if in fact the Bills do pick someone up) to start in seven and a half days in NE.
Can't we have a cutdown day without posts about other teams' rejects who someone wanted to draft a year or so ago.
It's called discussion...I guarantee you the Bills decision-makers are looking at the waiver wire...even if only to give a player a look or a tryout...no reason we can't do pretty much the same thing
What about DE, Michael Haynes? He might be worth a look...
"Thinking is the hardest thing there is, that's why so few engage in it!"
"Between stimulus and response there is a space.
In that space lies our freedom and power to choose our response.
In those choices lie our growth and our hapiness."
"If you don't take care of your health now, you will undoubtly have to deal with your illness later!"
I wouldn't mind seeing Carlos Hall brought in...he fits this defense well. Pass rusher who can get around the corner. Very intriguing guy...hope Marv takes a look at him.
What about DE, Michael Haynes? He might be worth a look...
I'd definitely consider Michael Haynes. In the very least, he's probably better than Kelsay!
I don't know Carlos Hall too well, but I wouldn't mind him to compete for Anderson's position...
Did anyone notice that Ben Wilkerson was cut. And some people were so high on drafting him last year! I'm glad McNally didn't. I trust McNally to pick good players. Preston so far is serviceable - but it'd be nice if he stepped it up a notch. Butler and Merz will now get that opportunity also.
Ross Tucker was also "terminated" in Cleveland. His back injury must be pretty serious...
Rob Petiti could be an outstanding pick up to bring in!!! He's got a whole year starting experience ahead of Butler and has good size.
Dan Klecko could be worth a look. But if the Patriots got rid of him, there might be something wrong...they don't make dumb moves.
Toniu Fonoti - OG - released by TB. Don't know if he's worth looking at as backup.
The Fins would do well to pick up Fred Jackson, Lionel Gates or other decent backups available like: Moe Williams, Najeh Navenport, or Artose Pinner.
And I bet the Texans are going to get alot of flak from fans for not drafting Reggie after Davis was put on IR...
All in all, there's not much out there worth anything. For us, I'd say Michael Haynes (DE) and Rob Petiti (OT) might be two we should take a look at though...
