BuffaloBills.com's Chris Brown suggests the Bills could have an interest in signing Vincent Jackson this offseason.
Brown is speculating here and not reporting.

Noon. He's a 1b wr.

Remember, Chris Brown has traded his journalistic integrity for access to the Bills. If he says it, the Bills FO approves it.

This is just leverage for dealing with Stevie.

We should get Stevie signed first before looking at another WR. Taking one step forward and one step back is NOT improvement.

replacing jackson for stevie is an upgrade. one wr is better than the other wr.

At best it's a half step upgrade. Jackson hasn't been dominant like he used to for a while now.

He's coming off his second best season.

If any UFA has 5 choices, the Bills are choice number 5 9 out of 10 times.

Outside of C level depth signings, I see no one considering Buffalo.

Players will go where the money is. It's proven every year in every sport.

Right, but, players will choose other destinations over the Bills if the money is similar enough.

If I'm Vincent Jackson and I have to choose between playing with Fitz or playing with Jay Cutler. I choose Cutler because he has a big arm and he actually was having a great year before getting injured.

Playing for Chicago, Jackson will earn more in terms of production bonuses and even playoff bonuses.

There are very few teams that would be rejected in favor of the Bills assuming the money is similar.

Re: Bills have speculative interest in Jackson

If Jackson comes here the Bills will need to sell him on the changes they are making to this team. He has to believe we are heading in the right direction, considering that half the fan base is unsure after a down year that's not an easy sell.

Nope.

If we offer more money than anyone else, he'll probably come.

I'm not diagreeing with you, but like I said, players will go where they get the MOST money.

Re: Bills have speculative interest in Jackson

As another poster pointed out if the bills cut McGee, Florence, and Edwards I think it frees up significant money.

I doubt we cut Florence though. I could see Edwards and McGee getting cut.

I think Buffalo wants to get Vincent Jackson and Stevie to be our top two WRs. Then you put Donald and David in the slot and have Easley and maybe draft a speedy guy in round 4.
