Why did they not resign Marcus Price?

[G. Host]

I have not heard anything about Marcus Price being sought by Bills or Marcus Price visiting other teams. I thought Marcus was solid if not spectacular and made an ideal 3rd tackle. Anybody here if Marcus is visiting other teams? I think the Bills do not think he can play entire season (same as Jennings) and he will cost too much as a backup.

I think it's a wait-and-see approach to Price. If another team comes at him with a decent offer, we probably let him walk and replace him with Gandy. If Price finds his options limited, we can re-sign him to a cheap deal in the future.

Either way, it's a win-win situation for the Bills.

[Forward_Lateral]

Exactly. Let Price shop his services, if a team is willing to over-pay, let them. If not, we get him for what he's worth, no more.

[Meathead]

If the coaches feel he's still got it having both him and Gandy give them the flexibility to perhaps carry one less lineman because they both play multiple positions.

[Jan Reimers]

It could be a combination of McFarland developing into a decent backup, plus the plan to convert Peters to tackle. That, along with the signing of Gandy, may give us all the offensive tackles we need - except a starting LT, of course.

Don't wanna shake the tree too much, but does anybody else here think Marcus Price is good enough to start at LT? I personally do, but what the hell do I know.

[Jan Reimers]

Price is a good backup, and generally does a respectable job when pressed into service. While I don't see him as the full time starter, he is probably as good, or better, than any LT we have at present - although that isn't saying much.

I think the Bills are looking to do better, and will only re-sign him - cheap - if all of our other options fall through.

At least he was a valuable reserve evidenced by the fact that he performed admirably many times as Jennings was oft-injured. I think he is a valuable piece to the puzzle and while the Bills should not and will not over-pay to keep him, I sure would like to see him back in a Bills uni next year.

While Price seemed to do reasonably well at RT, I saw a completely different guy than some here when it came time for him to step in at LT. I felt he was inadequate at best (LT) and generally poor. He seems to have some knee issues or the like and he simple doesn't move well enough for LT. As a backup, he was OK, but he's no starter, not by a long shot.
