Hangartner

[better days]

I just read that his old team the Carolina Panthers just signed Hangartner & he is expected to start this Sunday. With all of the teams in the league that need Oline help, you would think the Bills could have at least received a low rnd pick for him.

The Bills need o-line help. They should have kept him.

Re: Hangartner

he wasnt any better than our 3 backups or starters so he had to go.

Maybe so with his salary. My point is that the Bills got nothing for him when he is better than what many teams do have.

Re: Hangartner

Wasn't better than Colin Brown? Hah

Because the Bills offensive line is so good, now they're working out Michael Jasper at Right Tackle...

Re: Hangartner

The PS is a good spot for Jasper...I'm sure he's still putting in time at NT for the scout team also.

Re: Hangartner

bills were only about 4.5 under the cash cap (now at 7 mil) and still have joker roscoe and fitz to extend this season. i liked hangartner as an interior backup but he had his limitations so going with a younger bigger and hopefully higher top end player makes sense all around. hes good enough to start when you aint got nuthin better but thats about it. efforts were obviously made to trade him, thats sop, there were no takers

This OL is a disgrace to football.

But we are $20M under the actual salary cap. I could give a s**t about the self-induced cash to crap. Imagine if we had kept Evans (versus Ruvell Martin) and signed a couple of $5M per year O-linemen. We'd still be about $7M under the cap, and have a chance at a decent season.

F' the bean counting Bills.

wtf is the "cash cap"?

Re: Hangartner

releasing hangartner was unforgivable. a team that has no real starters aside from wood and levitre and they don't want to pay $3mm for depth or a possible starter. and they try to say with a straight face that they are building a winner.

the 90 bills kept rob riddick until thurman was ready to go. this team is hardly a winner, but some of the people they are letting go are parts to get them to the next level. this rebuild will take another 2-3 years at this pace.

Re: Hangartner

I'm sorry but he was getting moved around with ease by DT's in the practices & games I saw. The AFC East is loaded with huge DT's & he was overmatched.

Maybe in a zone blocking scheme stressing smaller OL... but not here.

Thanks for your service but it was time to go.

Riddick's last season w/the Bills was '88, Thurman's rookie year, but they also had Ronnie Harmon at the time.

Re: Hangartner

People down here are glad to have him back. Guys at the office who already regularly rip on me for my Bills stuff at work, asked why we let him go. I either responded with the finger or "its the Bills, why not?"
