I am not usually one to create these sort of threads, but I'd really like to see the Bills make a run at Gurode. Hes a veteran and still has enough left in the tank to instantly be our best lineman. Put Wood back at guard and Gurode at center and I think our line will be much improved.

32 years old bad knees, no thanks. The Cowboys cut him because he wouldn't take a pay cut. If he came to the Bills he would want to be paid.Originally Posted by pinkdogg32
I like the guys attitude and frankly...I would pay him. We could use the attitude and he played well at guard previously as well, so he could play either position.
NO... NO and **** NO!....
This team is building itself the right way.. and that is by not trying to find old vets to displace our young and up and coming players...
Yes, sign him now.
Plenty of skill, a veteran to help stabalize the line and can hopefully help fix our atrocious OG issue by kicking Wood to OG.
COMING SOON...
I'm not one to make or agree with these threads, but I think we should take a shot at him too. He's a good interior lineman. And we need at least one more of those.
I hope no one is holding their breath waitng for this to happen.

I think he would make the line better. This is a very young line. Would like to have a good veteran in there. I just do not see the Bills forking out the cash even though they are desperate for OL help.
He's the guy who's head Hayensworth stomped on a few years back.
The guy is 32 years old with bad knees. If he had ANYTHING left, the Cowboys would have kept him, they are much closer to making the playoffs than the Bills are. Instead, the Cowboys cut him in favor of a ROOKIE.
I guarantee this team is not bringing in any of these aging vets..
and I'm glad.. that's the mentality that will make sure we never become a real competitor again.
Wood is our C, and he is never moving back to OG for the Bills...
I think Wood should stay at Center. He will be a great one in the near future.
Damn straight.. I'm flabbergasted by the thought that moving him is in any way a smart move....
Yeah id like to see that..Our Oline need some veteran leadership with experience..
The enemy deserves no mercy....mercy is for the weak.
Not exactly true, the Cowboys had limited cap room after they gave Scandrick thay huge deal, Gurode saves them 5.5 and gives them flexibility. This had far less to do with his skill level than his salary size.
Not if he keeps getting his ass knocked back off the line like he has recently.
He currently has a sprained PCL, he had knee surgery in the off season. Was due to make $5.5 Mill this year & the Cowboys were not sure he would even start. That is why they wanted him to take a pay cut. They did not want to pay $5.5 Mill to a back up.
He is much better than Hang or Gurode would be.
It's not like we have anyone good on our line right now. Guys like Wood and Levitre are getting thrown around like rag dolls. And we certainly have the cap space.
So let's see if that theory on ownership being cheap or not holds water...
They're young and inexperience, but if Jax is any indication on how this OL CAN play then they are no wheres near as bad as you think.
Our OL was solid against JAX and they picked up blitzes etc... Fitz had time to heave the ball downfield..
Not saying we won't experience some rough games, but bringing in these 30 year old +++ vets will be counter productive in the years ahead.. Let Nix build through the draft and let Gailey and Co. develop our own...
