    Potential Whitner replacements

    I still think we have a decent likliness to resign him. But, assuming we don't, who's a replacement or even better a significant upgarde?

    How about Quintin Mikell? Looks like he may hit the market:

    Quintin Mikell's voice caught in his throat, his eyes filled. A tear spilled out. Mikell, an eight-year veteran who rose from undrafted free agent to special-teams contributor to starting safety, defensive leader and mentor in the secondary, may have just played his last game with the team that gave him his first shot, the only one he has ever played for. He fought to contain his emotions when talking to reporters Monday.


    Whom else might fit the Bill?

      I think george wilson will replace him, and they sign a eric smith to be the backup or draft a backup in the mid rds...

          Ellison played SS at Oregon St.

          If we can convert Wilson from a WR, why not a guy who once played the position well in college ? He can really run for 225-230 lbs. Nothing to lose by giving him a shot.

                  That's actually not a bad idea.

                    If he stays healthy for the first time in a couple years, he could give the Bills their first SS with coverage ability in quite some time. At the same time, that would weaken the CB position (oh no, here comes another 1st round CB....).....

                    I'll quit now.....

                      I just wanted to say this, but not start a thread. After watching the Chiefs and Ravens this weekend, it clearly showed how average Whitner is.

                            I like this idea too. CBs past their primes can be a good fit at Safety. Troy Vincent comes to mind.
