    Rumor: Bills Interested In Geoff Schwartz

    The Buffalo Bills will speak with several imminent free agents when NFL league rules allow teams to start communicating to players on Saturday, but I’ve learned of one name in particular. According to a team source the Bills have definitely expressed an interest in Kansas City Chiefs free agent guard Geoff Schwartz.

    Schwartz, 27, was a seventh-round pick in 2008 and spent his first three seasons in Carolina, where he played both right tackle and guard and started all 16 games in 2010 before missing all of the following year with a hip injury. The free agent signed a one-year deal with Minnesota in 2012 but didn’t start before moving on to Kansas City last year, where he started eight games and played extremely well.

    He’s regarded by some as the top available guard in this free agent class. The Chiefs are reportedly still interested in re-signing the 6-foot-6, 340-pounder, though it now looks likely Schwartz will test the free agent market.

    yes i realize pat moran is the fox news of sports reporting but just like fox he might tell the truth once a year or so. sure would be nice to add the top fa guard and give us a chance to never hear the name doug legursky again

      Would be a great first plug of a key hole on this roster. I'd love to get G done in FA so we can take advantage of the depth at WR and OT in the draft and not feel pressured to go in any one direction in the 1st and possibly even 2nd rounds.

        you know over at tbd i read that the border guard that handcuffed merriman actually did get caught with peds but they let him go bc they were after the source not merriman. no idea if thats true or not but i always felt a little bad for pat moran since i figured he probably really had something to make him confident enough to put it out there. wouldnt really surprise me at all if it were actually true

          I think Schwartz may get too pricey for us. I wonder if he doesn't get an offer at the 6+ mill per range.

          At that point I'd be good with a cheaper option like Chad Rhineheart who played well for SD next year.

              I mean in cap hit. Levitre is set for a 8.6 mill cap hit and he made close to 9 per.

              6 mill in cap hit would make Schwartz the 12th highest in the league for 2014 at this point. Snee is #1 with a cap hit of over 11 mill.

                The Bills be very foolish giving Schwartz that kind of money. I know people will comment that he started half the season last year in KC but he also began last year on their bench. Yet the truth is this guy has started 26 of 61 NFL games and a former 7th Round pick. Personally I don't get the appeal. I know he offers flexibility to play RT or OG but he prefers to play OG and to me he isn't a great talent so am very wary of signing him. I feel more comfortable giving Rhinehardt money but question if either one is worth that kind of coin.

                    If we could get the guy for 4-5 mill per I'd be happy. I think thats more than what Pears gets. Pears gets 3+ as I remember.

                      that happens with linemen a lot. look through the rosters, late picks and udfas routinely start and become all levels of good. his body of work is small but by all reports it was still impressive. plus hes a good emergency swing tackle, which adds value. its a risk but an attractive one

                        Pat Moran got caught lying about something a couple of years ago, proving he was an outright fraud. I can't recall what it was, but I'm surprised to see anyone quote that guy on any topic.

                          Pears played well under Gailey's system and why we gave him the contract we did. Then got injured and now playing under Marrone's system not as good. Also if you read into the reports Chris Brown seems to think the Bills favor younger guys with upside. Not sure Schwartz offers that. If I was going to pursue a T/G the guy we should be looking at is Rodger Saffold or if want to go on the cheap Jeff Linkenbach might be worth a shot.

                            His versatility is what makes him more attractive than a Rhinehart, IMO, although last year I was fan of letting Levitre walk but fully expected them to re-sign Rhinehart. Saffold will probably score bigger bucks than Schwartz, and I believe he wants to stay at T.

                            KC may throw big money at Schwartz, anyway, considering Albert is probably gone, and the point may be moot.

                              Doesn't stick around anywhere and no ones dying to keep him.

                              What am I missing ?
