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!

So by all means... Let POZ go and fill his role with Keith Ellison. Oh wait... Who do we fill the other ILB slot with? Not to mention that Ellison is a FA too.
Poz should be resigned. He is far and away the best linebacker the team has. They need to find someone to pair with him on the inside if they decide to stick with the 3-4.

Don't make me go through the list of analogies again. Being the best ILB on the Bills is meaningless because we are so bad at the position.
Poz sucks. Other than Whitner, he's the most overrated guy on the team. He can't shed a block, can't turn his hips and is obscenely slow in pass coverage. I don't know why people can't see it. Yes, we are hurting at LB, but keeping the guys we hav isn't going to make the position better.
As far as Stroud, he's done. Spencer Johnson is no worse and Carrington is better, so Stroud is expendable. I liked the guy when we first got him, but age has caught up with him.

Ellison blows and isn't even ILB in the 3-4. But that's no reason to settle for the mediocrity that is Poz. Let them both walk. We have Moats, Batten should be healthy, plus we have an entire off-season to find replacements.
Poz will and should be resigned. Why create more holes?? Some people are nuts. Hes a decent LB who will be even better like the secondary when he get a better front to rush the passer. Whitner can walk for the price he wants
poz isn't awesome. He's not good in coverage and there are times he gets blasted off the ball. Yet, he is always in on the play. and not in a whitner kind of way. If there was a line that tied up OL and created lanes to the QB, he'd be better.
The bills can not go from worst to first by getting 11 new starters and 8 replacements in an offseason. Poz is good enough to be a starter and could be better if paired with someone else. worst case scenario, he is great depth.
Cutting him would mean the bills have even further to go.
And by stating the above, it doesn't mean i don't want better LBs. It's just that i think he is a part of the puzzle.

I completely agree that he is overrated, but I also think he is far from the biggest problem on the defense. I definitely am not advocating giving him a large deal. I certaintly would rather have signed Poz to that ridiculous contract than Kelsay. If the Bills are willing to spent some coin and get a David Harris type (whom they could have drafted instead of Poz), than great, but I don't see that happening and I rather have Poz than some street free agent like Ayodele or two rookies (chances are the other spot is manned by a rookie given the dearth of talent currently on the roster).
The Bills need a thumper next to him, and a defensive tackle who can eat up blockers.
