According to a very reliable league source, the Buffalo Bills have been looking into the possibility of acquiring franchise-tagged defensive tackle Corey Simon from the Eagles.
Oh my!

If true, the Bills would need to create about $2.5-3.0 million in cap space to make this happenComment

I don't understand this at all. The Bills have Sam Adams and he looks good, but Ron Edwards really looks bigger and better than before.

This idea really doesn't makes any sense...
I would say Donahoe is doing his best to be FIRED.

Re: Bills looking at Corey Simon???
While I'm not a Gandy basher, wouldn't an OFFENSIVE tackle make more sense?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 agree. Corey Simon is DEFINITELY not a need and would cost too much.Originally posted by Jan Reimers

No offense, but that is ridiculous.Originally posted by vicmantak
TD tries to upgrade the position with a pro-bowl player and that will get him fired?
While it would be nice to try and get a similar caliber player at LT- there isn't any out there.Comment

Dozerdog, maybe it's ridiculous but please... does it makes sense to be interested in a franchise tagged player without cap space, CB contract issues, a promising DT depth and mainly IMMEDIATE NEEDS?Originally posted by Dozerdog
On the other hand, Orlando Pace is a franchise tagged player who is way interesting...

It's never a bad idea to try and improve your team... As much as it doesn't seem to make sense, if you can get yourself a top notch player at a relatively good price, my take is that you do it... Remember that TD is always thinking about the future... Isn't Adams a UFA next year?
We'll have to wait and see!

Re: Bills looking at Corey Simon???
Is there any proof that the story is accurate? I don't think we really have the funds OR the need for one of the great DTs in football. Last time I checked, our defense was pretty good and we only lost Pat Williams. If the defense crumbles because he left, than we have issues. But if Donahoe just wants to spend money, go out and get a proven LT.

While many here can't think beyond lunchtime today, TD knows Fat Sam has 1-2 years left and will have to eventually replace him. He'll be in the same boat with him as he was Pat Williams. Adams will be 33-34 years old and wanting a big payday that the Bills may not be able to afford, nor give an aging Vet on the decline. His current contract was a bargain they will never see again.
Simon is a legit All-Pro DT. The Eagles are looking for a 2nd and 3rd round pick. That would still leave the Bills with a 1st and 3rd next year.
Pining for a non-existent available talent at Offensive LT makes zero sense. If Gandy stinks, then Teague or Peters will get their shot.
Leave the GM job to TD and go get this guy.Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for witComment

If it's a 2 & 3 it means that Henry & a 2nd gets Simon. Well worth it with Adams and Edwards no sure things beyond this season due to Adams age & free agency.Comment

Not to mention Simon isn't a franchise player.Dareus - 1st Round PickComment

Re: Bills looking at Corey Simon???
Not a bad idea. He is obviously looking at life after Big Sam leaves. No reason to pay top dollar to an aging DT in Sam when his contract is up we could have a super top notch younger DT stepping right in and not miss a beat. But, where does the money come from?
Maybe, the Eagles are interested in Josh Reed and his small contract or something along those lines....I know that wouldn't be enough but it is a start.
