The fact that New England did a deal now with Waters rather than waiting until after the regular season begins indicates they have big plans for him this season.

Yet another offensive lineman that was available, that the Bills apparently didn't even contact, that a contending team thought enough of to bring in and get a deal done.

Re: Patriots add G Brian Waters
waters is 34 and going downhill. why take away development of urbik? he played well last year, he played solid this preseason. seriously, the waters signing makes no sense. now signing a solid ot as depth would make sense. that i can agree with. we dont need any interior lineman. we are set there...Originally posted by YardRatComment

Good, then you'll love this quote...Originally posted by MARCELL DAREUS POWER
"We don't have enough offensive linemen. We don't have enough depth," Nix told The Associated Press on Tuesday. "Our guys are a work in progress."
Yet except for a 4th round pick and a swing and a miss on Clabo, they have done ZERO on the offensive line.
Any way you slice it, the offensive line was a mess when Gailey and Nix got here, by their own admission.
Yet after two offseasons and two drafts, they still haven't found what many would consider NFL starters, especially at the OT positions. There were obviously guys out there, as perennial contenders like the Patriots and Ravens were able to go out and upgrade their lines, yet, these guys apparently weren't good enough for the Bills to even consider...

Re: Patriots add G Brian Waters
apparently you cant read, nix talked about depth, not starters! waters wasnt coming here as a backup. our starters are fine and hairston and rinehart are solid for the active 7 on sunday. most teams only keep 3 lineman as backups, so the only upgrade that will be possible is probably adding another ot to replace brown. this just in, there is nothing out there man. again, adding waters makes no sense.Originally posted by BLeonardGood, then you'll love this quote...

Re: Patriots add G Brian Waters
If there was "nothing out there," how were the Baltimore Ravens able to bring in THREE (3) offensive linemen (Levoir, McKinnie and Gurode) to their team, while we added NOTHING.Originally posted by MARCELL DAREUS POWER
The "there is nothing out there" argument is complete BS... Baltimore found three players that improved their team... In case you haven't noticed, the Ravens are a pretty good team... Yet, they found players to get better. The Bills, meanwhile, sat on their hands.
Also, if our backups are as "solid" as you claim, why were they shuffling the line on a daily basis... Did you even read the article I posted?
Levitre, I have to assume, is one of those "starters" that "are fine." meanwhile, he is being shuffled all over the line. He's been at LG, got demoted, then got moved to LT... Signing a guy like LeVoir or McKinnie would allow more flexibility, so they don't have to put their starting LG at LT."Honestly, I don't really know what their plan is," Levitre said. "It's frustrating, but you've got to keep going out there and working hard and getting better. That's the big thing: I've got to prove to them that I can still play."
They might not have wanted McKinnie or LeVoir at the price that they cost (even though neither got too huge of a deal), but don't try to say "nobody's out there." When teams like the Ravens and Patriots can find upgrades, there's no reason the Bills, who have a much lower talent level, shouldn't be able to find an upgrade as well, whether it be an upgrade to your backups, or an upgrade to the starters, which moves a starter to a backup and upgrades the backups that way.

Re: Patriots add G Brian Waters
Mckinnie is 600lbs and sucked last year. hes older and not a better option than bell or even hairston as the backup swing tackle. again, levoir is a backup, is he really better than our 3 backups? again, ill trust nix. i think you want to add someone to just add someone.Originally posted by BLeonardComment
