We hear the Buffalo Bills are looking for a 4th pick in exchange for struggling, but still young quarterback J.P. Losman....Kansas City, Atlanta, San Francisco and Miami are all talking with them. However, we doubt he will bring any more than a 5th or 6th rounder....The Bills are close to $40 million under the cap, but many in Buffalo expect them to be quiet when free agency starts. Our source thinks that they will be looking at guys like Ben Troupe and Earnest Wilford and other lower tier free agents who wont eat up too much signing bonus money. They really need a Pro Bowl caliber linebacker like Lance Briggs, but they wont go to battle with San Francisco for him.

Draft Daddy is a credible site but who knows how much inner, esoteric knowledge of the Bills' plans for free agency this source actually has? It's nothing we haven't heard before, even if it's not what we want to hear; despite massive cap room ($39.4 million), even under our self-imposed policy of 'cash to the cap,' Buffalo won't target top-tier FA's. I don't hate Troupe or Wilford but we have at least the same amount of room under 'CTTC' this offseason as last offseason when we managed to give out sizeable contracts to Dockery (49M/7Y) and Walker (25M/5Y), as well re-sign Kelsay to the exorbitant tune of (23M/4Y). Well, someone help me out here... how does Buffalo approach the requisite minimum salary cap- 85% of the total cap- without extending Evans and probably Crowell, too? It seems like we can't. And if we're taking a modest approach to free agency... we had darn better be negotiating new deals for these two, that's all I really have to say.
