A poster put up the list of FA Guards for this offseason (thanks BTW!) and I am not impressed. Not at all.
Fonoti (sp) was a guy that I was really high on coming out of college. Then he just crapped out...like a Mike williams. Other than him it's Steve Hutchenson. Watching NFLN last night with him and Alexander, I am betting there is a 90% chance he stays there. He helped build this seahawks team from crap, to superbowl participant. And I think the hawks will be good for the next few years to be honest. I think he stays.
I think the Bills are going to be hard pressed this offseason. Unless major cap moves are made we only have 6.5 mill to play with. 1 mill if we franchise and trade Nate.
Some realistic moves We should honestly look at....
Sit moulds down and tell him how it is. See if he will play 100% even if JP has bad games. No more locker room BS. If he does, restructure his deal. Take 3 mill off of his 6 mill base pay and give him an additional 2 year extention with lesser base salaries. (savings of 3 mill)
Have a heart to heart with Mike Williams. He must agree to a pay cut, maybe an additional year added on. Drop his base from 4 to 2 mill, But he has to stay here from March 1 through the rest off camp. He agrees to drop 30lbs and play LG. (Savings 2 mill)
Go to TKO, drop his base from 4.5 to 3.5 but add on an additional year or so. (Savings 1 mill). London Fletcher, drop him from 4-3 (Savings 1 mill). Cut Campbell (savings 1.3 mill)
That is an additional 8.3 mill in savings. We keep Moulds (again it is all about the attitude) and Try to get something out of Mike Williams (Full offseason at LG). We now have nearly 15 mill for FA. Tag Clements, we now have 9 mill. All we need now is DT, Center, TE. as pure needs. Use the rest to cut some dead weight and replace them.
I know it is a reach...but in reality there is only so many moves that can be made THIS offseason.
