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!

Given that they have announced that Campbell will not be recoved until training camp has started (and even then may not be 100%) it is likely that the Bills will probably go after another tight end. Who are your preferences?
Personally, mine is Jermaine Wiggens...but I wouldn't be upset if we got Bubba Franks either...
I like Freddie Jones because he is a recieving TE and if JP is running for his life he can be a safety valve since our FB is not much of a catching threat.
As long as we don't seek a blocking TE.....
Bubba Franks was franchised, so he might be out of the picture. It's been mentioned that Pollard from Indy might be released. He might be a good prospect...
Look at all the great Pittsburgh TE's the past 15 years......
*cough* *cough*
If anything, guys like Jason Peters- big blocking TE's fit thre Mularkey mold. Now that Bledsoe is gone, the importance of a pass catching TE in this offense goes down, and the premium on blocking goes up.
Kleinsausser- a FA last season and injured this season, is the type Mularkey likes.
Jeb Putzier, whom I know nothing about, is a young (3 years in the league) TE with Denver who rates 3 stars on the Bills Report's FA Tracker. He's intriguing because most of the 3 and 4 star guys are older.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
I think the guy from Pittsburgh...Eric Green...was a lot like Jason Peters.....Huge, Fast, good hands etc...
Another one in the same mold is Brandon Manumaleuna (sp?) from St. Louis...

They put the transition tag on him- similar to Cincy and Spikes 2 seasons ago
My thinking is that TD wouldn't look to the big name guys. I would think he would look towards players like Anthony Becht, Stephen Alexander, Patrick Hape, or even Itila Mula. Somewhere along those lines.
Its unlikely that Peters will ever get the chance to prove himself at TE which is too bad because apparently the guy has some of the best hands around.

I saw him play in a couple Denver games and i believe a preseason game against us. He is huge like Kyle Brady/Riemersma. Drag the pile type. I'm all about it..
