If the Bills signed...

[BillsWin]

Simmons to be our new guard, June or Freddy to be the linebacker and called it a free agency, would you be happy with that?

Would that be enough to hold us over untill the draft?

I would call it a success, but then again Im still not sold on Hangnarter. He's growing on me, but I'm nervous about the nose tackles he will face.

I think those moves would shore up spots and set us up for a good draft.

Is it a playoff free agency? time will tell, but we need a gaurd and a starting calibur linebacker and I'd just be happy if we could sign those spots up quick.

What do you guys think our next move is?

My vote is for a Peters negotiated contract, then a line backer, then a gaurd.

[SquishDaFish]

Yes I would be happy

We need to sign O-Line depth and a temporary (1-2 year) starter at LB. We MUST also lock up Jason Peters before the draft starts.

We could grab a Guard/Center in FA, but I would prefer to draft one in Round 2 of this year's draft instead.

Then I would be satisfied.

(It wouldn't hurt to cut Chris Kelsey either).

[WeAreArthurMoates]

I don't want even want Simmons, I just want June. I really want to draft a LG with the 2nd pick. Andy Levitre, Duke Robinson, Herman Johnson, Kraig Ubrick would be huge upgrades over Dockery. If not them we can take Mack and Wood which both can play guard or challenge Hangartner.

1. June or Peterson
2. Waters
3. Brian Orakpo
4. Cook from south carolina

Need depth at 0-line though. SImmons, if healthy, would be an excellent choice. WOuldn't mind resigning Preston for depth - he can back up all 3 interior positions. I wou;dn't mind signing a safety too, if there's anybody left out there??

[Mitchell55]

Yes but we still need depth. Just sign June and Simmons and possibly Bentley and then get some players that we have never heard of and im fine.

[jimbohastle51]

keiaho isnt a real big upgrade over ellison. i wouldnt mind waters and june or peterson or simmons and june or peterson, but i want june the most. i would be happy with either simmons or june.

Keiaho had the most tackles out of all of them. 100+. Stat wise, hes the best.

[jimbohastle51]

Keiaho had the most tackles out of all of them. 100+. Stat wise, hes the best.

he had ZERO passes defensed ZERO sacks and ZERO INT's as a cover 2 LB and he only had 105 tackles. ellison had around 75 tackles. is 25-30 tackles really that much better that you would pay more than ellison is getting?? or would you rather bring in a guy who when he last played the linebacker position we need which is the opposite he has been playing in tampa he was a pro bowler and averaged over 100 tackles? i think it is a pretty easy answer and that is why they didnt sign keiaho already. and remember the colts have managed to extend every player they wanted and stay under the cap, do you really think a 1 million dollar tender would to keiaho would have stopped him from signing him if they really wanted him? NO. they let him go because just like ellison when he is a UFA he will be gone because they are expendable. June would still be in tampa if they wouldnt have switched defenses from the cover 2.

The Bills need to sign a veteran backup running back, average veteran starting LB, and a LG. Of course I would want to see Brian Waters, but that may only be a pipe dream. Simmons would be okay. I would prefer not to draft a LG high, and save that for a pass rusher, TE, and best player available.

i think your going to see deshaun foster sign by mid week. he has already been in for a visit and they missed out on kevin jones so he is the other targeted guy, i am sure they'll wrap him up at an affordable rate.

[don137]

The thing about Simmons is IF he was healthy someone would of signed him by now...

You are probably right, or someone similar. And I'm fine with that. As long as Lynch doesn't screw up anymore.

[Lone Stranger]

Yes, to the initial query.

[TigerJ]

That would be a real solid free agency effort by the Bills.

[elltrain22]

Here is my wishlist:

1. draft Brian Orakapo
2. Brian Waters
3. sign Cato June
4. draft Chase Coffman
5. pay Peters
6. playoffs

[bills&sabresmvf]

we need a linebacker that can cover and rush the QB...June is your guy, sign Peterson as well, nice rotation. Sign a guard...draft Orakpo, Tight End, then get ur o-line depth. Linebacker depth...we forget about Bowen. Oh yeah, TO for one year can't hurt a team that hasn't made the playoffs in 10 years. GO BILLS!

[Michael82]

June and Simmons, plus a long term deal for Peters would be fine with me. I'd consider it a very successful offseason.

[Oaf]

You guys are greedy bastards. We signed a #1 WR, a #2 QB, a starting C, and a nickel back. How many moves do you really expect?

If we resigned Peters and especially Fred Jackson to multi-year contracts prior to the draft, I'd be a very happy man. I have the mindset that Owens lessens the need for a early round TE as well.

If I wanted just one more player, it would be a 4th for Waters, allowing us to go 1st round LB and 2nd DE.
