    Drayton Florence flying to WNY

    According to his Twitter page.
    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all
    true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
    mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

    Wasn't he abused this past year in Detroit?

    Are we doing our best to re-sign players that have been associated with failure? I could live with Scott, and somehow manage to justify Mckelvin but if we sign Florence then I think I start to question how much different we are then we have been the last 13 years....

        Florence was good three years ago then terrible the year after that. I don't know how he did last season, but he's two full seasons removed from his last good year in Buffalo. I can't imagine he's gotten better with age.

          Cheap vet for insurance is a bad idea but trading our 1st round pick out of only 6 picks for Victor Cruz is a good idea, when we have huge holes at LB and QB?

                I never said trading for Cruz was a good idea. I gave the pros and cons to doing so. In the end, I wouldn't do it only because our pick is top 10, albeit in a weak top 10.

                As for Florence, there are way better options than him out there. DeAngelo Hall being one, Cox, Sean Smith, Cary Williams etc.

                  Uggghhh... seriously? Thats not a spalsh, its a plunk.

                  We resigned him to a 3 year deal in 11..he would still be under contract with us if we didnt cut him last May...After leaving the bills the Broncos signed him, then cut him...then the lions signed him and chose to let him walk.

                  This is gonna piss me off.

                    How many safeties are used in a hybrid? Are we playing with 3 linemen and 8 safeties?

                      Offer him $15 million over 3 years.

                          What is he insurance against? He sucks and he's so old it's not likely that his suckitude will decrease. Get a cheap rookie and at least you can hope for some development.

                              New coaching staff must really think Aaron Williams stinks for this to make sense.
