| Free Agents this offseason....... Seems like the general consensus is DE,OLB,TE and C..... DE's: Julius Peppers, Car: 12.5 sacks 44 tackles/5 FF Paul Spicer, Jax (33): 2008-3.5 sacks/32 Tackles/1 FF 2007- 7.5 sacks/34 Tackles Kevin Carter, Tampa (33): 2008-4 sacks/42 Tackles/1 FF 2007- 3 sacks/43 Tackles Bertrand Berry, AZ (33): 2008-5 sacks/16 Tackles/2 FF: Had 29 sacks in 3 yr span from 03-05 Terrell Suggs, Balt (26): 7.5 sacks/58 Tackles/2 FF/2 INT LB's: Karlos Dansby, OLB AZ (27): 102 Tackles/3 Sacks/1 FF/2 INT Eric Barton, NYJ (26): 104 Tackles/1.5 Sacks/1FF James Farrior, MLB PITT (33): 112 Tackles/3.5 Sacks/1 FF Jonathan Vilma, MLB NO (26): 111 Tackles/1 Sack/1 FF/1 INT Bart Scott, ILB BALT 28: 71 Tackles/1.5 Sack/1 FF C: Matt Birk: Minnestoa TE's: Owen Daniels (26): Rec-60 Yds-714 Td's-2....Don't see how Houston can let him walk after this season, he is one of the more underrated players... Lenoard Pope (25): 6'8 258 pounds only Rec-8 YDs-70 but had 5 TD's in 07 I think Dansby is a very realistic prospect in FA if the Bills do not resign Crow I really dont want to see Ellison on the field again My perfect FA period: Sign Dansby Sign Birk Sign adequate veteran backup QB Draft DE round 1 Draft TE round 2 __________________ |

Birk is at the top of my list. -
Re: DE's, LBs,C and TE free agents....
the players are there but will the funds be there to acquire some of those players? Another question is which of those players will want to play for the bills or share Gonzo's thoughts on the bills?Comment

Re: DE's, LBs,C and TE free agents....
There's no reason the funds shouldn't be there. Greer is the only player we should re-sign that will cost anything and it seems like they're going to let him walk.Originally posted by justasportsfan
With the way this season has gone and Ralph complaining about the lack of talent, there's no way this front office just sits on their hands.Comment

the funds have always been there but we've never used it all up , have we?Originally posted by Ed
Ralph is senile. We have more talent now than we did last year and we're having the same results.Originally posted by EdComment

Tons of good players, a guy like Owen Daniels would help us out a ton.

We may not use all of it, but I'd say we've seemed to be one of the more aggressive teams the past couple years in going after players we covet.Originally posted by justasportsfanthe funds have always been there but we've never used it all up , have we?

Ralph may be senile, but if he thinks we lack talent then there's a good chance we'll at least try to be active again.Comment

Re: DE's, LBs,C and TE free agents....
The thing that Ralph has to be active in is getting a proven HC and GM. Doesn't matter if we have an all pro team, our coaches will make them competitive in the NCAA Div IIIOriginally posted by EdComment

Re: DE's, LBs,C and TE free agents....
Matt Birk is 33 years old next summer, that's a FOSSIL for this organization, who doesnt believe in players over 30 (seriously)
Dansby would be nice, but there will be a lot of teams after him.Comment

Re: DE's, LBs,C and TE free agents....
Daniels is not a FA until after the 2009 season.Comment

Re: DE's, LBs,C and TE free agents....
Spicer signed a deal in the off-season through 2010.Comment

Re: DE's, LBs,C and TE free agents....
well we can purge a high motor white boy or 2 at DE and shouldn't take to big of a hit and gian some space. Hopefully Suggs and Peppers gets to test the FA market.
Birk is a definite, and we Dansby would be a great pickup... but Suggs/peppers, Birk, and Dansby will never happen.
Cash to cap has given us lots of space, and those Toronto millions should allow us ot spend to the cap limit and compete with the big markets just like Ralph told us ... right ???
the only damaging offseason contract I see is Peters. He will hold out again and demand a top 5 LT payday... This years probowl vote was a malicious screw job to the Bills. He did not deserve a probowl nod this year and it will cost us.

you can hate the guy all you want, there are at least seven guys on both the NFC and AFC that shouldn't be there. I hope he holds out, won't matter right? He's not that great anyway, you all wouldn't miss him a bit.

Re: DE's, LBs,C and TE free agents....
Peters isn't happening either:
CBS' Charley Casserly reports that the Panthers plan to franchise tag contract-year DE Julius Peppers after the season. Assuming they don't extend his contract right after the season, this is the only way the Panthers can go. Peppers is their most valuable defender and is in the midst of a monster year. The former UNC power forward added two sacks to his season total of nine on Sunday against the Lions. He also has five forced fumbles on theComment
