All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!

Re: Slim pickings in FA?

I would love to see Bentley and OT Jeff Backus come in free agency. With Preston ready to start at LG, we ought to be able to find 2 more capable linemen amongst Villarial, Peters, Gandy, Anderson and perhaps a 2nd or 3rd round choice.

Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

Chris Hovan?

Wake up, brush your teeth, and get ready for a day of hating the Dolphins. Or the Pats? How to choose?

it doesn't matter what's available in FA. The Bills have no cap space.

Re: Slim pickings in FA?

I owuld like the Bills to definitely look at Bentely, Rocky Bernard and WR Nate Burleson if Moulds is gone....These would be 3 huge signings.

GO Gators!!!!!!

umm, didn't you say yourself that we had about 6 million (depending on the cap), without counting Nate Clements, Jason Peters and some other guys that will need to be replaced/resigned? What the hell kind of FA are we going to get for 6 million when we still need space to pay our draft picks?

Incorrect and correct. If we tag clements we can't do anything worthwhile with only a mill or less left.

IF...we don't tag him or IF we tag and trade and IF we cut some guys....will we have enough room.

And again this year I say...We need to keep a set amount aside for the Draft.

Re: Slim pickings in FA?

There are going to be PLENTY of guys cut and plenty of cap room created..

First and foremost, if Levy is serious about this team getting better, he'll do something TD never did: conclude our O Line blows and get rid of them. Bennie Anderson, Gandy and Mike Williams' departures will save over $7 million right there.

Moulds, who very possibly will get cut, is $4+ million right there.

Posey.. Campbell.. Possibly Adams..

Buffalo will have cap space to do some things.
