You got to buy the insider to read the story how STUPID they'll do anything to get your $

I'm beginning to think this isn't going to be a big offseason for us in free agency ...
the cap went up more than expected, giving every team an extra mil and a half or so (meaning more teams are going to be shopping and less players are going to be available)
the going rate for a QB (salary-wise) is way more than I expected it to be meaning we won't get as much room through a Bledsoe restructure as previously thought
most of the top CB's are probably going to be franchised or re-signed, leaving a huge demand for the remainder (and again, every team has more money to spend)

Let's hope the draft goes well.

[Dozerdog]

I've been thinking that as well, HR

[Tatonka]

basically, they think cotrell will get him to come to the vikings.

you guys are so "glass half empty"...

[Dozerdog]

I posted somewhere that the league had over $250 million in free cap space- and that was with the cap at $78 million.

Now there is an additonal $60 million ( $2 million per team)

Buffalo will have just enought to fill some needs. We aren't splurging like the past season or two

I think this is a year that teams will overspend on free agent talent early in FA. With so much money available teams will end up overpaying for players. AW will probably get a 5 year 35Million contract...

Not bad for a guy that has all of 6 picks to his credit! I really don't care if Winfield goes, maybe the Bills can actually sign somebody who can intercept a pass once in a blue moon.

[ryjam282]

I agree with Bulldog. Get us someone who can make some plays.

[Voltron]

We got some talent in the wings too. McGee had a good rookie year for the playing time he had. He has a lot to learn but look who he has to teach him, Milloy, clements, Jery Gray...

We will not be as good on both sides for sure but if we can fix the DE position I think we would look better even with out AW.

[Bulldog]

Winfield is a solid corner and a sure tackler, but the Bills would be foolish to pay him the kind of money he is going to demand. Sign a free agent and see how McGee looks in training camp.

[Voltron]

McGee had 2 more Ints than winfield and about 1/6th the playing time

[Bulldog]

Good point!

I might go ahead and just subscribe to ESPN Insider. I like the option of watching PTI whenever you want (sometimes, if I work late, I miss the show), plus it would give you their draft coverage. My brother has it and he really likes it.

[elltrain22]

His tackling skills will be sorley missed, but we can replace him, i really think we can.
