All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Lorenzo Alexander: Buffalo Bills 'want me to be back'
Alexander feels like he can play in any defensive scheme.
While in Orlando preparing for his second Pro Bowl game, Alexander joined Alex Marvez and Kirk Morrison on SiriusXM NFL Radio to talk about his future with the Bills. According to Alexander, Buffalo has told him that they want him back in 2017.
"[The Bills] have reached out to me," Alexander said. They want me to be back ... I'm waiting to see what all the offers are on the table. My wife and I will sit down and make the best decision for ourselves."

Re: Lorenzo Alexander: Buffalo Bills 'want me to be back'
It's not just his age, but the fact that we are switching systems and our 1st round pick is now healthy and likely to take his snaps. I'm ok with keeping him as a rotational pass rush guy, but TBH I don't see how it makes financial sense for either of us. He's likely to get a better deal elsewhere.
Re: Lorenzo Alexander: Buffalo Bills 'want me to be back'
Sadly, he may have been one of the only pieces to flourish in a Ryan system and enters FA in a year where there aren't any left. I like him, but what do you even offer him besides middlin' which some other team with more cap space can pitch his way just for special teams.
I'd love to see him situational and back here in the colors, but if I knew him I'd advise him to take the money and run.
Regardless of his age, he came onto the scene and did a good job for the team. He doesn't have any injuries AFAIK.
I's sign the guy to a worthy contract that includes "out" language if he hits the wall.
I lean towards agreeing but part of me is worried about fit in the new system. I've actually been trying to talk myself out of looking at pure "fit" this offseason so in that mindset I'd be ok bringing Alexander back at a reasonable price.
COMING SOON...

Agree, the health of Lawson is an important factor for this decision.
And I trust our medical staff to give a reliable assessment here ... /sarcasm end
Anyone see the hit LorAx laid on Jimmy Graham yesterday near the end of the game ?. He actually tried to hold up a bit. Graham was pissed.
My immediate reaction was Graham is a Titanic pussy.
Yeah, it was great. Then Graham dropped the pass over the middle that Lorenzo intercepted and sealed the victory for the AFC.
I think Bills players actually represented pretty well this year. Zach Brown had the 4th and goal stand early in the game, Gilmore had an interception in the endzone against Odell, and Lorenzo had the game ending interception and won defensive MVP.
Re: Lorenzo Alexander: Buffalo Bills 'want me to be back'
He probably won't get close to his sack numbers again, but if he came cheap why not. I think he would be good on ST, spell guys in a situational pass rush role. Panthers liked rotating guys in and out, they really drafted DL the last couple of years, we aren't deep at DL right now, can use help.
Re: Lorenzo Alexander: Buffalo Bills 'want me to be back'
If he regresses which is expected, at least he's great at special teams...
He wants to come back, and Buffalo wants him back...Bring him back!
