Translation: one big FA move and then it's the same old half-assed **** by Buffalo's FO.

I have no idea where you came up with that translation.

Please stop this crap. You can get every big name free agent out there. They found good depth in Florance and Fitzpatrick and Hangartner is an upgrade. There's no doubt in my mind too, that Cato will be a Bill.

Not going after Peppers. Not going after Gonzo. We have positions of need and there are very talented players out there whom the Bills are ignoring.

Thanks Sal.

I, for one, am not sold on Cutler. I am not sold on Edwards either, but the cost for Cutler would be too much.

And Taylor is a perfect fit for the Patriots.

i'd have just been floored if the bills were looking at cutler. but seeing that they aren't i'm not too worried. i would love to see some action on solidifying the line. starting rookies isn't usually the way our coaching staff rolls.

Peppers is tagged. Gonzo is property of another team and does not want to come here. Hell, neither does Peppers.

I wish they would/could do more too. But how many team make 3 big name FA acquisitions in a year? For that matter, can the Bills kidnap those two and force them to come?

What exactly should they do with those two? Is Peppers worth 2 1st round picks?

Florence isn't even as good as Greer- that position was downgraded this season. We have plenty of depth at CB with McKelvin, Youboty and Corner. We needed a starter, not depth.

Whether Fitzpatrick is better than Losman is debatable, but regardless he hopefully won't be on the field anyway. Even if he's significantly better (which he isn't), it won't make much better.

How do you figure that Hangartner is an upgrade? He was a back-up in Carolina and has a lot to prove.

As far as Cato, he's old but he would be an upgrade over Ellison. But he's not here yet. With this FO, I don't believe anything until it actually happens. And they still haven't done anything about DE, which is by far our biggest need.

Gonzo didn't want to join the Bills last year. What makes you think he'd change his mind?

And Peppers wants to play in a 3-4 and for specific teams. And Buffalo neither uses a 3-4, nor were they one of the teams Peppers mentioned.

Money might change either of their minds.

How hard is it to make an offer? It's not like we're talking a ton of work here. And it's not like they're busy signing other players....

June is 29 or 30. He is hardly old.

And how do they need a starter at CB? McGee and McKelvin are starting.

Re: News/Rumors I have including this "Cutler thing"

McKelvin was a 1st rd pick last year............he's expected to become a starter by 2nd year

Re: News/Rumors I have including this "Cutler thing"

detroit so dumb, i would trade for cutler maybe with a 2nd round pick and a 3rd round pick and get jason smith in their first round pick.

Peppers might even have the exclusive tag - no talking to other teams.

Or would you rather they sign Peppers and let Peters go because he will cost Peters money to get away from Carolina if they can even talk to him.
