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!

Whatever happen to do that?...He's been invisible since his press conference, and I say another bad signing...

Re: I Thought We Had Depht With Spencer Johnson???....
We had depth before McCargo turned into a slug. Stroud, Williams and Johnson give us three pretty good DTs. If McCargo were to regain his motivation (if he ever had any to begin with) and started playing like a 1st round pick, we'd have depth.
But if McCargo continues to wallow around like a fat, lazy slob,we'll need another DT to fill out the rotation.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

The Bills seem to love to take risks with FAs. They continually sign other teams backups in hopes they will blossom into impact players and starters and so far it hasn't really worked as well as they would have hoped.
Tripplett, Spencer Johnson (If you look at the contract the Bills gave him I think they were expecting more) Fowler, Reyes, Royal, Gaines, Bennie Anderson, Mike Gandy (Yeah he is a starting LT in Zona but I dont think they view him as that, he will be upgraded), etc.
When we spend money on players like Spikes, Stroud, Fletcher, Walker, Spielman, Paup, Lofton, Ted Washington, Adams etc. It usually works out. Dockery is one of the few exceptions of starters/proven players we have taken from other teams that didn't work.

I think giving Johnson 2.5 million per year is at most a depth player contract, not so much a starter's contract. Especially considering the cost of a starting player's contract nowadays. Also, I guess I don't mean a depth player so much as a rotational player. Seems like a got a pretty decent deal for a DT who gets about as many sacks per year as our starting DE's.
As far as most of the other players you named, most of them were JAGs who were unspectacular, but solid enough that Buffalo was hoping they'd be able to build a team and eventually replace those JAGs they just signed. Sort of like what Miami did last year. Except Miami actually signed much better players for much better prices.

Well if he is only making 2.5 mil then its not so bad. Still though, if team's that are actually already good are adding to the talented starters they already have with more talented starters it makes you wonder what the Bills are doing.... The Giants as of right now have 8 DL that would start for the Bills. We have one DL that would start for the Giants.
