That would make things interesting, however if Pegula is going to write an enormous check, I'd rather see him pay a qb.

Revis is good, but the Island sunk a couple of seasons ago...he plays with more help now than he probably ever did.
Wouldn't kick him out of the locker room, and obviously he would still be an upgrade over what we have, but hope he isn't looking for crippling money.
We should probably expect Rexy to bring in a few of his favorites, but in all honest after the mass exodus west by his coaching staff I'm not real confident his first priority is upgrading anything, but rather surrounding himself with his guys.
Finally, it's a couple of easy dots to connect, not like it's an earth-shattering revelation from Schefter.

Moves Leodis back to the slot and gives Gilmore a guy to learn from, who at one time was the best shut down man coverage guy in the league.
Question though is what becomes of Graham who also played very well last year. Gotta think he'll be in a fight with Leodis, unless they see him more in a safety role.

sigh...
Schefter is going downhill quick.
True, his rep certainly helps cut down the attempts (which is good, agreed), but it's few and far between when he isn't getting help over the top.
Where do you think the Bills are going to get a franchise qb worth an enormous check?That would make things interesting, however if Pegula is going to write an enormous check, I'd rather see him pay a qb.
I'd rather spend the money securing Dareus long-term and improving the o-line; perhaps at te.
Revis seems to me a luxury. If he expects 20 million, forget it.

Well in Rex's system he's not going to get the help. Am I correct in assuming that you are not a fan of this pursuit?
So much of what Schefter says is a guess passed off as inside knowledge.

Depends on the cost. I wouldn't mind having Revis here for a couple of seasons, but I don't want to stuff his bank account when there are other more pressing needs and guys that have actually earned a payday playing for Buffalo coming up in the next two years.
CEO's use that method to hop from company to company...
Fiat justitia ruat caelum. Noli timere. Laus Deo.
Revis was the 4th rated cb in the league - qb rating in the low 60s vs him. Plus, at 29, he's the same age as mckelvin. Now we have to pay attention to the cap and probably need to sign a guard, qb and a DE (if we don't resign Hughes) and need money in 2016 to resign Dareus, Glenn and Gilmore, but we have 20+ million under the cap now, I believe. Maybe we could.trade mckelvin for a 3rd or a TE and save 6+ million with that contract gone. Just saying, if you have a chance to.sign a superstar you do it, even if it's in an area of perceived strength

Revis is still under contract. Albeit for 20 million. Pats already stated that they wont mind paying the 20 if a long term deal cant get done. my guess is 4/60 with 30-35 guaranteed gets it done
They can say that now.
Let's see if they actually do that when the time comes.
We all know what LIARS the Pats* are.

I think it's Scheftler purely connecting the Revis to Ryan dot and nothing more than speculation and nothing more. I really can't see us pursuing Revis. As don't see the need for a starting CB high on our list.
Speculation.
I think it's BS to rattle some cages, with everyone knowing Pegula is loaded with cash after the monster purchase price.
This is the Bills telling the NFL they're in the running for anyone they want and will pay them.
I hope some of those 2-3 good FA Guards are reading this and calling their agents.

It is GREAT to see the Bills become relevant again, thanks to Pegula.
Even those that don't like Rex have to admit that he was not a second tier hire like Marrone was.
And the only talk of the Bills moving is to which neighborhood in BUFFALO they will eventually move.
His Sabres' club is marching towards their 4th straight season on the outs. Is that RELEVANT, thanks to Pegula?
