Buffalo and the 'tags'

[YardRat]

Here's a list of UFA's...

Unrestricted free agents
Ryan Denney
Chris Draft
Todd Johnson
Seth McKinney
Terrell Owens
Josh Reed
Bryan Scott
Kendall Simmons

Do the Bills use any of their tags this off-season before the 2/25 deadline? Do you want them to?

[T-Long]

No reason to with that list.

[VeggieMan14]

idk why... but i want T.O back

[Yasgur's Farm]

I wouldn't tag any of them...

I'd attempt to re-sign...

Seth McKinney
Terrell Owens
Bryan Scott
Kendall Simmons

I'd invite these guys to training camp...

Ryan Denney
Chris Draft
Josh Reed

[BlackMetalNinja]

I was going to make this same thread today actually... The only person on that list that could even dream of making what a franchise tag would pay is Owens, and he doesn't even really deserve that amount. Nor do I want to pay him that much to see him back here.

[clumping platelets]

Nope and they shouldn't

[SquishDaFish]

Noone and the only one with the talent for it is TO but I or any reasonable Bills fan should want that.

[patmoran2006]

idk why... but i want T.O back

At over $9 million for 2010, which is what it would cost to tag him??

[BuffaloBlitz83]

No only if we sign a big time LT or NT or LB. Otherwise bring TO back. I only would let him go if we use that money elsewhere

[jamze132]

The only person on that list worthy of tagging is Chris Denney. Seriously, the guy has got all the tools you look for in a back up DE. We gotta lock up our back ups so when the starters go down, we have the guys needed to fill in so we can continue to fire on all 2 cylinders.

At over $9 million for 2010, which is what it would cost to tag him??idk i just don't think the guys done yet... i think with a new coach and hopefully a better QB he can still put up huge numbers

[Michael82]

No one on that list is worth tagging. But I would re-sign the following players...

1. Bryan Scott
2. Josh Reed (his college WR coach is here and he was very good in college)

[Michael82]

No I wouldn't tag any of those guys. But I would re-sign the following players....

1. Bryan Scott (good safety and might start if we could get something for Whitner)

2. Josh Reed (his WR coach from college is here now and Reed was very goof in college)

3. Seth McKinney (good depth in middle of OL)

[Night Train]

No tags and I'm not even sure I wish to sign any of them.

[DraftBoy]

Id sign Reed and that's it.

[patmoran2006]

Id sign Reed and that's it.

i'd sign Denney first.. I think he can be a decent end in the 3-4.
I'd also bring back McKinney as interior line depth.

[TigerJ]

It's almost silly to ask if any on that list should be tagged. There are several on the list that would be worth Buffalo's effort to sign to a reasonable contract, but nobody Buffalo absolutely needs to retain.

[DraftBoy]

Nah, Id drop both of them, neither are worth the vet minimum.

[ServoBillieves]

Isn't Josh Reeds old receiving coach from college on the staff now? If that's the case, I don't see him leaving the team.

I would keep Draft, Simmons, Scott, and Reed. T.O. if possible, but not with a franchise tag. We'll see him head to Baltimore or Cincy I think. So long Ochouno!

Yup and Reed will probably shine under his old coach. He was a star at college.

[jamze132]

I'm pretty sure you don't want to pay him the DE tag #...

DEFENSIVE END: $12.398m
Dude, he is totally worth it! That's like a million bucks per tackle!
