Kent and Big Ted are my two favorites from that list.

[WagonCircler]

Tough to leave Tasker off that list. I was a big London Fletcher fan, but I think Tasker may have been more valuable over the long term.

And then there was that Kemp guy.

With this generation, history doesn't exist before Super Bowl I.

First of all the author looks like a 12 year old kid.

Secondly Ted Washington was lazier than Dareus on his worst day.

He needs to come off the list and Chris Spielman should be added.

[YardRat]

I thought about Tasker also, but technically he and Kemp were a claim off of waivers weren't they?

Spielman is a good one. I often forget about him.

[Night Train]

Paup was amazing when he got here.

I guess it's semantics. I was thinking that if a player hits waivers, he's technically a free agent. But then again, he's not "free" to sign with any team, so I suppose he isn't a free agent.

Spielman was a great one. I knew all of the players on this list personally, but the only Bills players I was ever really starstruck by were Speilman and the player whose name must never be mentioned (Inmate #02648927--pre-killing spree).

Yeah Ted Washington needs to come off the list. Wtf football do you watch ?????

[Dozerdog]

Steve Christie in retrospect was a very good FA signing. I second the Spielman nomination- I'd even add Doug Flutie ahead of Ted Washington

[The Beef]

Flutie has to be up there. Literally was laughed at when he was signed and made back to back playoffs. Literally he was 10+ years outnof the league, probably Russ Brandon's best hire.

Ted Washington's lazy play is one of the biggest reasons Wade Phillips got fired. Nothing but a big fat slacker.

correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think Russ was here in 1998 when we signed Flutie

Between Paup and Spielman...

I remember them two being monsters when they were here...

Why no mention of Takeo though?..He was great before that injury.

He's one of the 7 in the article cited.

[Luisito23]

LOL...Ok, sorry, I should've read the article.

[OpIv37]

I love Spikes but I don't feel like he should be on the list. He was never the same after the injury. He had two dominant years but that was it.

[sudzy]

What? No love for the MVP of the 2000s Brian Moorman?

[YardRat]

OK, Help me fill in the blanks...(only true free agency players eligible, starting with Plan B in 1989)

Tempted to throw Corey Graham in there- he's not that great but he exceeded expectations.

[Thurmal]

Man, that D when they had Hansen, Washington, and Bruce up front with Cowart behind them at MLB was NASTY.

[sudzy]

S- Leonard Smith

one of my all time favorites

[YardRat]

Leonard Smith was acquired via trade...one of my favorites also, though.

Surprisingly, Graham and Vincent may be the best FA CB's we've brought in with the FA route. Milloy is a good one.

[YardRat]

Considering how much focus has been spent over the years drafting dbacks high and often it's funny the team has never gone big on the secondary in free agency.

[Mr. Pink]

I would put Billy Brooks ahead of T.O. since T.O. didn't do much here.

S - Mark Kelso and Steve Freeman

CB - Kirby Jackson

OT - Jerry Ostroski and Mike Gandy, I guess.

Marcus Stroud would be your other DLine if you don't care tackle or end.
