Ok Who is the best FA to ever leave Buffalo?

[Mahdi]

The player has to have been playing at a high level when he left so Thurman doesn't count, same with Reed. Let's say trades count as well.





I'll start by saying Nate Clements. He shut down some of the best WRs in the NFL last year. And watching him on monday he did really well against Fitzgerald and Boldin who are really tough to cover.

[BAM]

Pat Williams is high on my list!

[RockStar36]

Drew Bledsoe :snicker:

[R. Rich]

Whoever just left. My memory isn't that good, so it's gotta be someone recent.

Kelly "The Real Deal" Holcomb

I thought his nickname was Kelly "Third Stringer in Minnesota" Holcomb.

[madness]

Easy... Joe DeLamielleure.

[Mahdi]

Pat Williams is high on my list!
I was considering PW. The man stuffs the run on his own. Minn should just play with PW and 6 LBs.

Coo. That means that other guy Pat plays w/, that insignificant other Williams, will become available? That'll solve a lot of the Bills' problems then when they sign him.

[Night Train]

The old timers will remember DE Ron McDole. He was supposedly washed up, then went to the Redskins and 4-5 more Pro Bowls, just dominating. I was so pissed at Wilson.

Obviously Kevin is a beast too, but their run D became #1 when Pat got there.

...forgot about the Dancing Bear.

[MikeInRoch]

Will Wilford.

[justasportsfan]

Pat Williams is high on my list!
same here. The thing about NAte is that he isn't worth 80 million but Pat would've been worth every penny.

[mikemac2001]

Ethan Albright

[HHURRICANE]

Winfield, for sure.

[Mr. Pink]

Bobby Moore aka Ahmad Rashad

[NorthCarBills]

In recent memory, Fat Pat without a doubt.

Another that jetted for the Vikes is Winfield, but like Clements, he wasnt worth the asking price. But I liked the way he played, interceptions king or not, and he never seemed to get hurt.

[patmoran2006]

maybe not the best. .But Nate is the most valuable.

There is no way we lose last week if Nate's playing, and that's one game.

Not to say we shoulda gave him 80 million.. bills did what they had to do.

BUt forget numbers, he takes WR's away more times than not. This team has NOTHING like that now.. nothing

[Dr. Lecter]

Will Wilford.

I'll go with this one, although Rashad is damn close.

[NC-BILLS44]

Nate Odoms

[SABURZFAN]

Easy... Joe DeLamielleure.


good one. :up:

[Michael82]

definitely Pat Williams. I still hate Tom Donahoe for letting him go. :mad:

[Mr. Pink]

Lamonica is also another big one in my opinion.

[Mahdi]

Bobby Moore aka Ahmad Rashad
His name was Bobby Moore?

[Mr. Pink]

His name was Bobby Moore?

Yeah, before he found Islam as his religion his given name was Bobby Moore.
As a Bill, he was still Bobby Moore, if memory serves me correctly.

He was the 4th overall pick in the 1972 draft by the St Louis Cardinals, played there 2 years, came here for a season, then went on to a make a name for himself in the NFL as a Viking.

[justasportsfan]

Bennie Anderson and Billy Joe Hobert.

[Mahdi]

Yeah, before he found Islam as his religion his given name was Bobby Moore.

O ok cool.

[bigbub2352]

Will Wolford, Pat Williams, Antoine Winfeild, Nate Clements
but if i had to say one Will Wolford

[DaBillzAhDaShiznit]

A few I was thinking of besides Pat Williams were Doug Flutie (hey, say what you want but he remained productive for several years after we let him go....which is more than can be said for the crap we did have here at QB) Ted Washington (at least last seaon, dude was STILL playing at a high level!) and MAYBE....Travis Henry.

[The King]

Winfield and Wiley come to mind.

[bflojohn]

I am going to flip this to the best FA the Bills ever picked up.... Jack Kemp! Fire away!!

Chris Spielman

[don137]

I'd go with Wilford over Joe D just because Wolford was entering his prime while Joe D was past his prime. Not sure if Joe D was traded or was a free agent though.

[Dr. Lecter]

Joe D was traded.

[madness]

Joe D was traded.


The player has to have been playing at a high level when he left so Thurman doesn't count, same with Reed. Let's say trades count as well.

:D

[colin]

if we kept the guys we lost to minni we'd be a much much better team and still under the cap this season.

with big pat and antoine we'd be middle of the pack on D.

[Illmatic15]

More recently it has to be Antoine Winfield and fat Pat Williams...

[Earthquake Enyart]

Lamonica is also another big one in my opinion.
Lamonica was traded too.

I think McDole was traded too.

[Jeff1220]

Since trades count, I'd have to pick Biscuit.

[tampabay25690]

Im gonna say Travis Henry

He was solid as a Bill and the team hasn't been the same since he left, were going on another RB for the Bills!!!!!!

[PECKERWOOD]

Fat Pat

[YardRat]

Yeah, before he found Islam as his religion his given name was Bobby Moore.

He was the 4th overall pick in the 1972 draft by the St Louis Cardinals, played there 2 years, came here for a season, then went on to a make a name for himself in the NFL as a Viking.

Actually, I think he was Bobby Moore in St Louis, and his named changed just before coming to Buffalo.

I'd have to say it's a toss-up between him and Will Wolford.

If trades count, Ron McDole has to be up there.

[Albany,n.y.]

Joe Cribbs left as free agent to go to the USFL in 1984. The Bills were non-competitive without him.
Half the guys in this thread did not leave as free agents, some were traded, some were cut-neither should count.

[gr8slayer]

One Fat Pat Williams. Once he left it all fell apart.

[DynaPaul]

Ted Washington

[chernobylwraiths]

Gary Anderson
Haven Moses

[chubluv]

Will Wolford or Pat Williams

[realdealryan]

Trades count too?
