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!
With Peters gone, and dockery, Preston, and Fowler all gone too, I was just wondering if there were any decent OT or OG left out there in free agency for the bills to sign for some security reasons if Bell or Chambers can't hold the load...
What OT or OG would u guys like the bills to look at?
Isn't Jonas Jennings and Jon Runyan out there? I want to sign the best tackle or guard available so we have a backup plan it tact if Bell or Chambers dont work. Get a veteran that has experience starting but wont break the bank

Kendall Simmons still out there?
I'd favor Jennings as he can play left OT where Runyan is a right OT. Also Jennings is still not real old at 31. If the Bills wanted Simmons I'm sure they would have signed him earlier in free agency.

Simmons, Jennings and Runyan are all recovering from surgery and probably won't sign until closer to camp when teams get an idea of their recovery.
Mark Tauscher, the GB LT, is another guy out there who isn't ready yet due to coming off surgery.
Kwame Harris and Ephraim Salaam are veteran OT still out there in FA.
Pete Kendell is a veteran OG who is still out there in FA.
they will probably bring in ruyan or jennings on a 1 year deal so if they dont get the tackle they want at 11 they at least have a solid RT and can swing walker over to LT, michael smith just said on espn even that likely unless the LT they want (i think everyone on this board knows they want andre smith) they will take a defensive player. and even if they get eben britton with the 28th pick, you cant expect him to start at LT right away. you at least bring a vet right tackle in and let britton compete with walker, you dont just let our line be a rookie LT seth mckinney or a rookie at LG and hangartner at C. T.O. wont make a difference if that is our line.

I don't think you're going to see them pick a LT at #11. I just have a funny feeling that won't happen.
He isn't that good, just a journeyman. He was bagged for Steroids and suspended 4 games in 2007. Then he signed with New Orleans and was cut last September. He has been out of the NFL since. I think he was a guy who was only in the NFL because of 'Roids. After he got caught, he couldn't make a team (Atlanta/New Orleans).
If Tauscher is healthy, I'd grab him. He is a better guard than LT from what I understand and would be our starter on the left. He's 31 which isn't too old for a lineman; he has a good 3 years left. By buddy, who is a GB fan said he is one of his favorite players and has been awesome for GB over the years.

I like Tauscher a lot as well. Real gamer.
However, he tore his ACL in early December, and that is a 8-10 month recovery. Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy said he has been talking to his agent (Green Bay wants to bring him back), but doesn't expect him to be ready to play before October 1.
In addition to Green Bay, the Vikings have expressed interest in signing Tauscher. He may sign with someone in training camp, but will probably start the season on the PUP.
