I spent all weekend trying to talk to a few people who I'm usually at least moderately good at getting some Bills inside information from, and here is what I've been able to get...
Nothing... Literally
I (and I hope most fans in here have noticed) have been trying very hard to keep an even keel regarding the Bills lately. As a reporter who has my own website, on occasion I write an opionated column but the vast majority of the time it's my job to report on news and have that (and not me) become the story.
But it's getting very hard to do now.. I, along with a lot of you who are already there I'm sure, am growing more and more frustrated by the day over the past few days.
Look, I never expected the Bills to go after the few big-ticket free agents and that's fine with me. Julius Peppers, Karlos Dansby, Antrei Rolle are fine players but I dont think the Bills should be spending that kind of money on one player, they have too many needs.
But this is a thin talent pool and here is some news; we already ARE into the second wave of free agency.
Why the Bills have brought in no one other than a debatle OL interior starter to this point is beyond me. There aren't cornerstone players out there, but there are guys that signing right now with teams for reasonable rights that even a teenage fan can identify, and w'ere not even competiting for them.. Artis Hicks is a great example (3 mll per year).. Dwan Edwards, Jimmy Kennedy are out there, I can go on longer but you get the point.
Did someone forget to tell Nix this is a bad football team that created even more holes for itself by switching to a new defense that to a man everyone says is horriblly equipped for a 3-4.
Trying not to be a "jump to conclusions" guy here-- but this isn't looking good.
With a cap last year, the Bills were reported to spend the 12th most in salaries in the NFL. With this being an uncapped year, I honestly am telling you to not be surprised if they spend the least money of anyone in the NFL, and that includes perennial cheapskates Jacksonville and Cinci.
