Okay looking at the free agency left I don't see any good wide receivers besides Jordy Nelson and TP

I think most of us should be.
Yes, they still have holes, so does every team, will there will always be roster improvement demands.

I am so happy They are trying their darnest to move up and gat their franchise QB, and not going with these flawed retreads. While there are risks with each of the QB in the draft, I am excited to watch someone develop.
Next year they should have another decent draft position, even after likely losing their first .... and will have googles of cap space available to plug more holes!!!

Good time to be a Bills fan.

JBotts!,!! You watching? He is putting up an offseason that will be difficult to match...I have faith...do it!

- IonSabres



Of course every team has holes

The MLB position is very important in McDermott's system though so right now I think that is the critical position at the moment. I would re-sign Brown (nothing crazy $5 million per year tops)

They will still be making picks in all 3 of the first rounds even when they move up so they can find some guys that would be huge.

I know Nelson is still productive much more so than Maclin

However the cap is a thing here and they still need to sign a MLB

- Stripes77


I agree, sign Maclin for 1year...we just need the threat of a downfield receiver.
The underneath stuff will likely be their bread and butter....long ball to keep D’s Honest

We will have a couple more picks when they move Hughes and Shaq Lawson. Maybe they can get 2 4ths

Exactly I think Benjamin and Jones could have good years

But they 100% need a deep threat

Maclin could be had for less than $3 million

I know you’re kidding, but how can a guy who’s paid like a franchise player and has made team Canada for international tourney’s be under rated? Who exactly is under rating him?

I'm sure we differ on what for brings to the table.

Faceoffs being 1 thing
Leadership being another .
Work ethic
Overr achiever
Consistent scorer
Likeability among teammates
Grittiness and determination
Battles all out for the puck
Good defensive abilities

FWIW: The Bills came out and said they were keeping Hughes after being asked due to the Trent Murphy signing.

Why don't you think Hughes isn't going to get moved?

He seems like the favorite at this point

See Rhino's reply

Besides that Hughes was doubled all last year because the Bills didn't have any other pass rusher.

If anything Hughes is going to have a big bounce back year

I expect the secondary to have more chances at INT's with a better pass rush

There certainly is lots of smoke in mirrors, especially this time of the year. Valid point.

Maclin is 29 Nelson 32

You can get Maclin for peanuts, Nelson is going to cost

- Stripes77


Last year shady was putting on a big deal for maclin to join the bills.

I can't believe where the bills are and stacked in the draft

Everyone things they know the limits to their body but some never pushed it to the extreme most likely

Once their body tells them to shut down they listen
