With it being Christmas this week, I took a quick look at the 2014 Free Agents to see who I would like to see the Bills target. Here is my wish list;
TE Andrew Quarless (Packers)
The Packers will likely let Jermicheal Finley walk and may push to resign Quarless but they don't overpay players and he's shown a lot recently with Flynn at QB. I'd make a strong run at him and take the risk on a bigger money contract then his stats would indicate.
OG Jon Asamoah (Chiefs)
The Chiefs will hopefully be too focused on what to do with Albert to pay much attention to Asamoah. A phenomenal pass blocker who has the athleticism to replace Levitre. He should come far cheaper and is younger than Levitre. He may be priority #1 if he hits the market.
OT Jared Veldheer (Raiders)
Had a down year with some injury issues but has been back for two games and has been solid. He's a LT in Oakland who I'd make a RT here. He's big, powerful, and can pass block. He's an ideal replacement for Pears and allow us to use Hairston as the swing tackle he's best suited to be.
DE Micheal Johnson (Bengals)
Had a really poor year after getting the Franchise Tag so I'll look for a bargain on him. That's not to say he'll come cheap but he's going to get less than he would of on a long term deal next year and Cincy will want to bring him back. His versatility to play anywhere on our front would be an ideal addition. You can never have enough pass rushers.
FS Jarius Byrd (Bills)
Pay the man, nothing else needs to be said here.
With those additions and some growth for EJ you're looking at a playoff contender in 2014, imo.
