Villarrial vs. Woody

Detroit paid a $9.5 million bonus to get Pats guard Damien Woody. The total deal is six years and close to $30 million. Woody has been better than the guard the Bills signed from Chicago, Chris Villarrial. But Villarrial is solid and the Bills got him for a $3 million bonus and a total of $11.85 million. Is Woody three times better than Villarrial? No way. It was a smart signing by the Bills. Teams can't afford to invest giant dollars in guards, unless it's for someone like Larry Allen in his prime

I agree 100% with this quote. I'm glad we got Villarrial and for a decent sized deal. Yes, Woody is better than him but the price to pay for the little extra talent is not worth it.

Yeah overpaying for a guard isnt too smart, I'm glad we passed on him...Wish we had got Tait though, tackles are a different story.

does detroit go after c.dillon now?they have a decent OL all of a sudden.

[Mr. Cynical]

We still need a new C badly.

Heres what Pastabelly said about dillon(not sure if u care but...)Len Pasquarelli: Everybody finds it hard to believe that the Bengals can't find a buyer for Dillon. But the truth is, there is no market for him right now. He will be 30 years old, is a malcontent and will probably want more money

I think we made out like bandits. CV is a very underrated guy who we didn't pay all that much for, and woody would've cost us much more, and could still be just as good as CV

[Goobylal]

Who is to say that CV isn't as good as Woody?

[StanMarino13]

Well at the price woody went at for a guard id say the guy u guys got was way better.
