So, now the question is....who do you want? Is there anyone on this list that we should sign?

[TypicalBill]

Matt Stinchcomb , OAK

this guy can play anywhere on the line, but he'd fit nicely at G for us.


C Damien Woody

He's a proven starter at C and atleast he can handle all snaps

[Michael82]

Those were the two that I was thinking...but I was also thinking about bringing an Orlando Pace to Buffalo. He would cost a lot, but he would help protect Drew's blindside.

Adam Timmerman is also a pretty good Guard and I wouldn't mind him here either.

I'd rather see us sign Cory Withrow, who can start at center and is versatile enough to fill in at either guard spot if necessary. Plus, he's only in his 4th year and would be much less expensive than Woody (leaving even more $$ to sign a pass rusher such as Eric Hicks or Bert Berry of Denver).

I've checked out about 11 of the centers from that list, and here's the ones I like the most:

Cory Withrow (Min)
Mike Flynn (Bal)
Brock Guiterrez (SF)
Gennaro DiNapoli (Dal)
Jason Starkey (Ari)

All of these guys are either starters or have started before. They all could be available for much less than Woody.

[R. Rich]

Also, Brad Meester is no longer available, as he signed a 5 year extension with the Jaguars. Too bad; he would've been a nice upgrade too.

Damn, I would've liked him too.

Walter Jones

[R. Rich]

Jones is awesome. Other than Jonathan Ogden, he is the best OT in the league in my opinion. However, I'd rather see the Bills upgrde the interior of the OL than get a stud tackle and still struggle inside (remember, Jonas was tried at center and did not perform very well there).

[The Spaz]

Exactly you sign Walter and move Jennings to RG and there you have it, then we just need a center!:)

Remind me again why it took so long for Jones to sign a contract? Now, since we know he wants to be paid a tremendous amount, how would the Bills be able to sign Jones, sign a good interior OL whether it's a center or guard, and sign the most pressing need on the DL, a pass rushing DE? I do love Jones' talents, but we do not need to overpay for a stud player. We need to get as much quality talent in here as we can for both lines.

Hey I agree I'm just saying if we were to do that then that's how the o-line would look. I have no idea and none of us really do about what's going to happen with our cap money we have ideas and so does TD and Co.. It's fun to speculate but only one person really knows.:)

[Earthquake Enyart]

I've got a woody for Woody.

Villareal is a decent guard.

[TigerJ]

How about Ross Tucker? Oh wait, he's a Bill now. Then why haven't the Bills ever played him to see what he can do?
