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

Wright (Adam's agent) said there are other teams interested in Adams, but thinks Buffalo would be an ideal spot for the 6-foot-3, 340-pound Pro Bowl run-stuffer.
"Sam would add a compelling piece to their defense," said Wright, who also represents Bills defensive tackle Pat Williams. "With Sam and Pat Williams inside, you solidify that run defense. We're hopeful we can reach an agreement."
Last, year everyone wanted him here. This year the public opinion is completley different. All, I know is that Adams can swallow up a couple o-linemen and that is exactly what we need. Adams would be an instant improvement to our defense.
I think TD is working Adams to put pressure on the Bengals so they can sign him and beat Buffalo to the punch thus hoping for the release of the tag on Spikes.
most definately.. if it were possible to add adams and spikes, i think our defense would be improved 10 fold.. and think if we were able to move price, and add either another DT or OLB via the draft.. nice

thorton is not as good as adams by any stretch.. but he is less expensive.. or so it is thought at this point.. no one has shown me anything that says how much adams wants.

Thornton is up and coming while Adams is on the downside of his career and going. Thornton would be a good 4-6 year pickup. Adams would be good for 2 seasons max likely and for significantly more per season.
Originally posted by THATHURMANATOR True Tatonka I do agree there. If they are in the same Price range I would take adams!
They wouldn't be unless Adams is reducing his demands enormously. Especially if many teams are interested in Adams while not teams are interested in Thornton. Supply & demand.
The question that you need to ask is not whether Thornton is as good as Adams, it's "whether Thornton and a solid DE" together would benefit the Bills more than say Adams and a vet-min DE for example. I think we'd be better off with solid at each position instead of great at one or two and nominal at others.
Again y'all, this is a zero sum game. Money you spend in one area isn't available elsewhere. I think it's more important to find 3 or 4 very good players to fill the needs we have instead of 1 or 2 that are only marginally better while having to pay heavy sacrifices elsewhere by only being able to get vet-min players, such as at DE.
Replace Donahoe with Modrak and fire the entire coaching staff!
With all the huge attention paid to Adams last season, why has there been such a drop-off this year? He was the prime defensive FA last year and you hardly hear his name now.
I agree with you WYS I was just saying if they happened to be in the same range I would like Adams even if it is for less time. I have always be under the assumption that Adams would be much more expensive.
If, and it's a big IF, Sam Adams is willing to come at a reasonable price I'd love to have him in Buffalo. I think he and PW next to eachother could be tremendous and give the team enough years to groom young guys who will learn from a very good tandom. I agree that they still need at least a LB and probably a DE unless Marcus Jones is 100% completly recovered. I don't know the answer to this. If he's not and Adams is a lot of $ than I'd say Thornton all the way.
