Fowler is solid. He was the starter when the Vikes made that nice run last year..

Maurice Morris is one of the best backup RB's in the NFL..

With Willis always getting banged up, not to mention a threat to hold out over a contract this year or next, he'd be a very good addition.

Fowler is definitely more polished than Preston.. I"ll take vets on my line all day.

Fowler stepped in and did very well last year. But I am sure we are going to hear he sucks blah blah blah.

Do the Bills have a center on the roster now other than Preston? If not then someone like Fowler would at least be good for depth purposes, assuming he cannot beat out Preston (which he probably can, making Preston a depth player).

I dont think preston is the starter. They are looking at too many potential Centers. If Fowler comes in, he will most likely start

I don't think we need much in the way of RB depth unless the Bills don't think Gates has "it."

Morris won't sign here, some other team will throw some cash at his feet.

Fowler on the other hand, with Hutch going to Minny and Wells staying in AZ, I'm sure views the Bills as very favorable. I'm pretty sure he can play center or guard.

I agree with you

I was just on ESPN.com and noticed Nate Burleson is a RFA. Why not try to bring him in? He has size and hands which would be good to accompany our speed with Evans and Parrish.

What about Josh Reed and Andre Davis? We just shelled out money for them.

I agree with you about Morris. Just him being in town and A-Train last week shows what Marv thinks of Shaud WIlliams.

I'm not a Shaud fan in the least. The guy has some game, but the thought of him carrying the load is Willis goes down induces vomiting. Morris would be ideal, but because many think the same way, he'll go to the highest bidder with a chance to start (SF, DEN, TEN). I'd be prefectly fine with the A-Train, he got a raw deal in Dallas last year (should of just signed with us) and could be useful at the goal line....something Wills was scared of for most of last year.

True, but i consider Reed far from reliable, and we dont really know what we're getting with Davis. I just feel with the loss of Moulds we are really lacking a WR with size.

Hope Fowler signs. He should be an upgrade over Teague.
