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

Re-sign Willis McGahee, Nate Clements, and London Fletcher, use up a lot of cap money on these guys, and look for bargains in free agency...
or...
Let them and their big-dollar contracts go, replace them with younger guys in the line-up, and keep most of your cap maoney available for bringing in free agents?

Keep those guys. Under TD we always let at least one big time player go a year. Then we'd spend the next 2 trying to replace them.
We have 35 mil under the cap and from what I hear the FA pool is not deep. So spend the cash on our guys.

I really believe that Fletcher means more to this team than Clements. Clements wants to go so let him. I think Fletcher will stay for a more reasonable number.
Let's not fool ourselves. This team is playing out of their ass right now. That's coaching!! We still need a RG and LG and DT's!! LB's and DE's and a #2 receiver.

I agree that while Fletcher may be getting older, he's worth keeping here. And he's not going to be as expensive as Clements.
As for Clements, I really hate to lose him, especially the way he's playing. I just sincerely wonder if spending a third of our available cap room on him is a great idea. That's probably what it will take to keep him here.
I'd definately keep both if possible, but I see Clements going elsewhere.
Assuming Fletcher stays, Clements leaves, McGahee doesn't hold out and we resign Gandy, I'd say we need the following from FA and the draft:
MUST FILL, MAJOR PRIORITIES:
1. A quality RG to replace Villarial.
2. A run-stopping DT to platoon with Kyle Williams and replace Tim Anderson.
3 A day one CB to replace Nate.
4. Another dangerous weapon on offense, whether it be a pass-catching TE or a #2 receiver. Someone to take attention off Lee.
SECOND-TIER PRIORITIES
1. A second RB to platoon with McGahee (and in anticipation of him possibly leaving next year or holding out this year). Either resign Thomas or draft one on day one. Seems to be a growing trend in the league to have two solid backs. and with the likelihood of injury at some point in the season to your top guy, it's a necessary one. Look at how Seattle struggled w/out Alexander, Miami w/out Ronnie Brown etc.
2. Evaluate Pennington and make a snap decision as to whether he' s going to be an above average RT. While it's hard to do that and he deserves more developmental time, if we can't say confidently that he's making great progress towards fulfilling the potential his size offers, draft or sign one that we can be sure about.
3. Think seriously about Lance Briggs or Cato June in FA if Spikes can't show that he's getting his burst back. I have a feeling that one more offseason to heal is going to bring Spikes back close to his old form. And if that's true, you can't replace the energy and leadership he brings to the field and lockerroom. But it's worth thinking about these guys, who may be available and would absolutely fit our defensive scheme.
Wake up, brush your teeth, and get ready for a day of hating the Dolphins. Or the Pats? How to choose?
I'm not against resigning Fletch and Clements. I'd let Willis play the rest of his contract though and see what he can do before thinking about what to do with him. Even if he has a monstrous season next year, rb's are a dime a dozen.
Spikes is playing much better the last couple of weeks.
Nate would be foolish to accept a top 10 deal; he will get top 5 money (at least!) somewhere else. The Bills need to bite the bullet on him.
then let him get top 5 money somewhere else. Who has a CB that is being paid top 5 money and makeing it to superbowls? Spend the money on the DL and OL and LB along with a better #2 WR and we are a playoff team next year without nate.
One single CB is NOT worth the cap room he will eat up.
