The bills can get a better center!

[njsue]

Melvin Fowler is average. This position needs a definite upgrade. Would love to see Jeff Saturday as a bill if he were up for free agency.

What center's are out there in free agency that you would like to see as a bill next season?

I'll take Ryan Kuehl for lang snapping next year.

[Owen DeBoard]

It would be nice but I wouldnt hold my breath because Ralph has to get off the cash and he probably wont.

[Mr. Pink]

Jeff Faine is probably the best name on that list for a starting center...Oddly enough if we sign him, he'll have replaced Melvin Fowler twice in his career.

and let me guess you'll be calling for us to sign LeCharles Bentley in two years? [/sarcasm]

No offense to LeCharles, but I hope the Browns cut him this offseason. Two years of high salary and zero production. On top of the fact who knows if he'll ever be the same player. Sometimes it's better to cut your losses and move on.

The funnier part is Kuehl used to be the Browns long snapper back in the Gardocki days.

Man I still get depressed when I think of how we passed on Nick Mangold

[Crisis]

Ross Tucker and Jon Dorenbos would definitely shore up the OL.

[Johnny Bugmenot]

Albright, Ethan UFA Redskins

OK... wait a tick... we have Albright, Todd Collins, London Fletcher, and previously Andre Reed and Bruce Smith... is Washington where all the ex-Bills go to retire??

We should have never got rid of Trey Teague, he was a beast and the best center we had since Kent Hull. I would't mind resigning him if he's still out there.

I don't think there are any FA upgrades available. This is the position of most concern to me. No immediate impacts available in the draft either. There is like one good one coming out, and we really can't afford a 1st or 2nd on one. If the Bills are set on trading Losman, maybe we can package him and Fowler for a good center.

[TigerJ]

While I wouldn't mind an upgrade for Fowler, he still is at least an average center. For those who need their memories refreshed, that means he's OK. and there are centers out there who are worse. That means you don't need to make a knee jerk reaction as if this were an emergency. My suspicion is that Buffalo will draft a promising center like Steve Justice, and give him a year in the weight room to add 30 lbs of muscle.

Trey Teague was a lousy center.

IN MARV LEVY I DO TRUST!
