Rumored Bills FA interest : Iupati & Harris

Re: Rumored Bills FA interest : Iupati & Harris

Me either, But having a signal caller on defense who already know's Rex system could be handy.

He could also teach the young guys and bring them up to speed quicker.

Rex said it is not as important to bring players to Buffalo like he did to the Jets because Pettine ran his system & the players in Buffalo know it already.

Rex said there will be some differences in what he calls compared to Pettine but that the players already know the gist of his system.

Boling, Blaylock, Franklin, or Iupati.

If they get one of those four Tue. I'm good

I'd be happy with Iupati but IMO, its risky devoting so much money to an OG. I understand what and why we would do it. I think the FO is basing their decision on what they'll do w/ Iupati on if Hughes accepts or leaves the team. I think that contract goes to one or the other. If Hughes walks, Iupati is our target, and if Hughes accepts our offer, I don't think we'll go after Iupati.

Harris is a slam dunk. Makes sense, and would be a very nice addition, especially b/c we lost Alonso and will probably loose Hughes.

However, I still hope we sign another FA QB. I think Jake Locker would be a great addition.

If Iupati signs somewhere else, then the draft has real options at G.

Iupati isn't as great as some are making him out to be. Personally I think Rob Sims and/or Justin Blalock would prove a better value for the Bills.

Iupati will likely get more money elsewhere, unfortunately.

Harris is pretty much a done deal to being here.

Harris just re-signed with the jets for 3 years.

Re: Rumored Bills FA interest : Iupati & Harris

Harris just signed a 3 yr deal with the Jets. 15 million guaranteed.

Sorry, writing while you posted . . . on unrelated note, fellow on BBMB who seems to have been right on inside info says there might be a hangup with the Kiko-Shady trade. No details.

Decision of LB David Harris to stay with Jets increases the chances the Bills keep DE Jerry Hughes.

Good.

I would rather spend the money on the OL.

Hughes will be really good in rex's system it would be great if they signed him again

I don't see how the two correlate.

Now if the article stated that Harris resigning with the Jets increased the odds for Spikes to return I'd agree.

Yes, on money it makes sense, but the Bills still need to sign an ILB to replace Spikes or retain Spikes which takes some of that money away.

I assume this is speculation based on resources. Then there's this, for what it's worth:

Sal Capaccio @SalSports

A source has informed me the Bills are still working hard towards retaining Jerry Hughes & "still optimistic" they can before FA opens 3/10.


I agree that not getting Harris should mean more interest in Spikes. I would be happy with that. Guess we'll find out.

Re: Rumored Bills FA interest : Iupati & Harris

Spikes is definitely a locker room leader. Why mess with the mojo. Bring him and Hughes back.
