    Chargers, Lions interested in Levitre?

    The NFL's free agency period is still over a month away but the chatter is heating up well in advance of the March 12 opening. One of the hot early na...


    It’s no wonder that Levitre’s name would come up in Lions circles. They have a need at guard, Martin Mayhew has said the team would be a player in free agency and new running game coach Curtis Modkins spent time working with the running game in Buffalo.

    Levitre is already on record as saying he will shop for the best deal on the free agent market.




    According to ESPN’s Bill Williamson, “The San Diego Chargers may pursue Buffalo Bills impending free-agent OG Andy Levitre if he becomes available this off-season.” Levitre started all 64 games for Buffalo from 2009-2012 and was named to an NFL All-Rookie team in 2009.

    Joe D’Alessandris is San Diego’s new offensive line coach and hehas experience working with Levitre in Buffalo.

    Letting him leave would be one of the worst moves this team has made in years. Keep Levitre, and let the often-injured Eric Wood walk next season if money is an issue. We can't just let a young core player leave in his prime.

        "Letting him leave". Buffalo is basically powerless to prevent it.
        "'Clean up your room.', 'Stand up straight.', 'Pick up your feet.', 'Take it like a man.', 'Be nice to your sister.', 'Don't mix beer and wine, ever.'. Oh yeah, 'Don't drive on the railroad track.'"

            I can understand letting him go. Seriously though peters is always hurt and was big time lazy. We got the better deal on that end

              Are you prepared to pay Levitre $9-10 million per season? Thta's what it will likely take to keep him off the market

                Sign LeVitre and Byrd to long term contracts, we need both to be good.

                  No. There isn't a G in the entire league worth that kind of money.

                    Until we have a franchise QB we can afford to pay good players. We should be creative with the cap money and bonus money and this can be done, we need to keep both Byrd and Levitre.

                      Or a defensive lineman who's worth $100 million.

                        Buffalo is not really powerless. The should sign Levitre to a long term contract, or they could tag him.

                          We would be better of giving Byrd the franchise tag and sign Levitre to market value. The guard tag is like paying him left tackle money.

                            I agree, the Bills should sign Levitre to a long term contract.
