Eye to the Future - Bills FAs in '06

[BuffaloRanger]

Does anyone have a link to a page showing the Bills that will be FAs after this season?

Of course there's Clements and Mcgee

I've heard conflicting reports on TT and Adams status

Posey and Edwards (big year and he won't re-sign with us)

Could be some big holes.

If the draft is for the future like alot of people say, could we see some early picks to fill these potential holes?

I think we will draft a CB high this year. I know we need O-line help, but don't be surprised if we hold off until the third round to address that and use our 2nd round pick on a CB.

Wouldn't surprise me at all

Me neither. TD revels in ignoring the Oline. Gandy and a 3rd rd pick is not progress.

Thats's more a knock on a quiet FA than the draft. This team has Oline holes to fill that draft picks can't help.

McNally could take 5 bouncers from Chippewa and make a decent line out of them.

List of who becomes a FA after 2005 season:

UFA: DT Bannan, CB Clements, DE Denney, DT Edwards, WR Haddad, RB Henry, S Prioleau, WR Reed, FB Shelton, OL Teague, and S Wire

RFA: WR Aiken, LB Crowell, LB Haggan, CB McGee, OL L. Smith

EFA: CB Greer, TE/OL Peters, DE Ritzmann, TE Trafford, RB S. Williams

[Dicknoze69]

Prioleau's gone and Wire signed an extension

[Crisis]

I didn't know McGee was an RFA. Of the UFAs we need to keep: Clements, Shelton (depending on his health), Reed, Edwards.

Prioleau's gone and Wire signed an extension

yep, I just cut and pasted some info from a post on the salary cap board.

Relax people. Lets not forget that we are going to have a couple of 3rd round compensatory picks next year for the loss of Williams and Jennings. Don't be surprised if he gets us another 1st rounder next year since we will have the cap space to afford two 1st round picks. And of course if he wants, he can trade that 1st round pick for a top 5 FA.


I think next years offseason is going to be fun!

I'm not to concerned with the future 0-line. I would like to get a stud top 3 center.. But we did use the 4th overall on a T. I can't for the life of me decide if i like Posey. Sure he is solid but is solid good enough. The way i see the roster is to always have top notch depth that can start if the prior starter has a awesome year in a contract year and he's gone. So we should draft a good OLB or shoulda entertained a free agent OLB now just in case Posey gets 9 sacks and 130 tackles etc.. Crowell? Stamer? umm....

Thanks ddaryl. I will refer to this often I think.
