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

Just listen to the BB.com presser. The words rang out clear from Dick Jauron, "were gonna go after a couple more".
What will it be? I think we go LB, maybe even twice. I dont think we want to pay for a young vet CB, when you can start a high draft pick day one. I think that we can get very good LB'ers without spending a ton. Maybe a June for 5 mill per, then another second tier young guy.
Good luck you guys (no sarcasm.) Just remember the Browns and Cardinals were stated by a lot of people to have had a great free agency last year, but maybe the Bills will prove peeps wrong.

No disagreement, we need to prove it on the field. To be fair, the Cards have underachieved for years, the Browns dont have anywhere near out talent level.

I was impressed with what our coaches did with the mess that they inherited last year. I think they can do better with better talent. At least I hope so.
A veteran CB is priority one. The LB spot can be filled in the draft if need be (I still truly believe Spikes is staying put), but we have to get a veteran Cover 2 CB in here (Harper) above anything else. I'm dying to know what's going to happen with the McGahee situation. Still praying for a 2nd on that one.

Papa you are a great guy. However, the Bills did bring in young upcoming players. The Cardinals keep falling in love with over priced, "past their prime", RBs. What happened to Cleveland was completely out of their control.
No matter how you slice it our OL got better. How good remains to be seen.
The only position I would say on offense is maybe WR. So it's definitely going to be working on beefing up the defense now. LB, DT, CB. Of course the draft will be used for that as well.
Before FA, Marv did mention a couple of RFA's.. NO idea who though.
They still need 2-3 FA's, obviously they're done with huge contracts like a Cato June.
I'd like to see them do 3 more deals in FA if possible, it opens up the draft for a lot more possiblities.
I don't see people knocking down the door for june, I can't even find any visits he has scheduled. He's a cover 2 backer and Indy, Bears, tampa, Buffalo are the only teams who run that system. I could be wrong but if he goes a week without being signed then his price goes down.
With Shelton gone, I can see the Bills looking for a blocking FB in free agency. Not a big-money deal, but an important signing for them.
Whether or not they trade W.McGahee, I also see them looking for a # 2 RB who could potentially share playing time with a rookie RB that they draft on the first day this year. S.Williams is not going to be that guy, although he could see more playing time on third downs and as a return man. A.Thomas could be that guy, but I could see them bringing in someone else as well if they trade McGahee and are not convinced that they can get "the guy" that they want at RB in this draft.
If K.Thomas doesn't re-sign, I can see the Bills bringing in a vet CB to take over his role as nickle-back and swing-man with McGee. I don't think they will go for big-money here, but would like to get someone who could take over in case Youboty or McGee struggle during the season.
If they trade Spikes, maybe a mid-tier OLB to be a back-up. I think they will target DT, LB and, if they trade McGahee, RB, early in the draft, followed by CB and perhaps WR or LB again (if they trade Spikes), with TE and/or FB and QB coming on Day Two.
Those who do not learn from the past are doomed to repeat it. And, thus it was that they surrendered their freedom; not with a bang, but without even a whimper.

Heath Evans was released from the Pats. Patrick Pass is out there too. Aarron Shea was released as well.
