Its another year and another endless thread and debates about who the Bills are going too/should target in Free Agency.
Unfortunately, I think too many people are forgeting that we have an 87-year old owner who spent more time this season *****ing about if the team would even be able to stay in Buffalo, and revenue sharing and blahblahblah.
Wilson AINT paying Clements and he aint paying Fletcher, whether they are worth it or not.
Does anyone in their right mind think that Wilson is going to open up his vault and outbid other teams for guys like:
Briggs, Dielman, Samuel, Grant, Stallworth, Steinbach, June, Graham, etc.?
I'm not saying any or all of these guys are worth what they'll get. Im saying that Wilson aint out-bidding anybody for a prized FA anymore, I dont care if we have $300 million in cap space.
Is that to say the Bills will automatically be worse next year? Well not necessarily.. A great draft will help of course.
MOre importantly, Levy is going to have to target some mid-level free agents that will fit perfectly into his system. Last year he totally BUSTED in FA, with a collection of stiff FA signings including Price, Reed, Nall, Royal, Bowens, blahblahblah.. They were at the time and continued throughout the season as a bunch of "so what" players. the one guy we did pony up money for seemed overpaid by his performance (Tripplett)
SO if we're going to continue to debate and discuss some of these big names in Free agency, fine.. but I GUARENTEE you we're all going to be very dissapointed if you think Wilson is going to ante up for some big 'name" free agents.
And Im telling you now, maybe the Bills fans on here are more rabid, but if this team loses two of their biggest names in Fletcher and Clements, and signs nobody of value in their place, and they stumble out of the gate again in 2007.. Attendance is going to plummet and the talk will be about the Bills leaving town..
And if you think Im wrong about attendance, just remember the last four games this year, including two when we were in a playoff hunt.
The truth is the majority of fans are sick of the Bills losing, they want a contender and even if its a "perception"-- Wilson better ****ing pony up some money and go after players who can get this team into the playoffs.
