The Bills have a number of needs this off season. Some of these needs could be filled through free agency. I am going to list the guys who I think the Bills should go after. I know signing every one of these guys is not realistic. What do you guys think the Bills should do?
I consider each of these positions necessity needs for us, in order of importance.
QB: The only quarterback worth wasting effort on is Joe Flacco and Matt Schuab. I also don't believe the Ravens will let him get to free agency. Houston might go with TJ Yates instead of paying Schaub. Matt Moore is much more consistent and a better option than Fitzputrid, IMO.
Joe Flacco - age 27 - Baltimore
Matt Schaub - age 31 - Houston
Matt Moore - 28 - Miami
LB: Some of these are worthy are going after. Most of the guys worth signing come from a 3-4. I don't know how they would translate to the 4-3.
Shaun Philips - age 30 - San Diego
Bradie James - age 31 - Houston
Leroy Hill - age 30 - Seattle
Erin Henderson - age 26 - Minnesota
Will Witherspoon - age 32 - Tennessee
Manny Lawson - age 28 - Cincinnati
Philip Wheeler - age 27 - Oakland
Daryl Smith - age 30 - Jacksonville
James Laurinaitis - age 26 - St. Louis
WR: I believe the Bills need a 1b option at the receiver position. Nelson and Jones should be nothing more than slot receivers. They are both RFA in 2013.
Dwayne Bowe - age 28 - Kansas City
Mike Wallace - age 26 - Pittsburgh
Greg Jennings - age 29 - Green Bay
Ramses Barden - age 25 - NYG
Brandon Gibson - age 25 - St Louis
Devery Henderson - age 30 - New Orleans
CB: It's clear that don't have a #2 at this point. Ron Brooks might turn out to be that guy. Leodis can handle the nickle positions if the Bills resign him.
Chris Houston - age 28 - Detriot
Tracy Porter - age 26 - Denver
Quentin Jammer - age 33 - San Diego - Although aging, he's still very good. Look at what Woodson did for Green Bay at the same age.
Brent Grimes - 30 - Atlanta
Jason - McCourty - age 26 - Tennessee
RT:
Phil Loadholt - age 26 - Minnesota
Sebastian Vollmer - age 28 - New England
Jermon Bushrod - age 28 - New Orleans
Will Svitek - age 30 - Atlanta
S:
Tanard Jackson - age 27 - Washington
Kenny Phillips - age 26 - NYG
Laron Landry - age 28 - NYJ
Kerry Rhodes - age 30 - Arizona
Yeremiah Bell - age 34 - NYJ
C (backup): Don't know many quality players or backups even for this position.
Jeff Faine - age 31 - Cincinnati
Dan Koppen - age 33 - Denver
