People seem to think that Isaac Sopoaga is still good, let me tell you, he was only playing like 20% of snaps by the end of the season.

He's an average starter at best.

Good for the Eagles I guess to get some guys familiar with playing in a 3-4, but he's not worth more than $2m per season IMO

The Broncos have agreed to terms with OG Louis Vasquez, 4 years, $23.5 million with $13 million fully guaranteed.

Now that's a much better deal for a guard

I think bringing in Sopoaga gives scope to bring in a NT mid round in the draft.

I believe he can be helpfull in the short term and really pass some good knowledge on to whoever we grab. At least that is my hope

Some of the money being thrown around is ridiculous

$60m guaranteed for Wallace?

$40m guaranteed for Levitre (a guard!!)?

Madness

Am I the only one who thinks Jared Cook is really overrated?

I mean what has he actually done?

I think Kruger will be a bust

$30m guaranteed for Wallace, doubt it's $40m guaranteed for Levitre either, sounds like the total figure.

Sorry got the total figures wrong.

Still think $13m per year for Wallace and $8m per year for Levitre is a bit much

:lol: Fair enough

Who will the Bills chase at QB? Draft or FA?

We have Tavaris Jackson on the roster at the moment so it is highly likely we'll bring in another Vet and draft a kid.

I see Brad Smith potentially getting cut at some point.

There is a lot of buzz about Nassib getting draft by the Bills but I honestly don't think this is a Miami-Tanehill situation.

Nassib isn't value in the first round and may be of value in the 2nd if he lasts.

I think if Geno Smith is there the Bills nab him. But from what I'm reading they are pretty high on EJ Manual which I wouldn't be that upset with tbh.

As far as veterans, someone like a Troy Smith imo makes sense for what the Bills will want to do.

The Titans got the better TE in Walker.

I'm surprised Cook got so much love.

Also surprised no one has made a play for Brandon Myers as yet.

Its 3 years, 12 million dollar deal, 5 mil guaranteed. Sounds a good deal to me

Broncos are bringing in DRC, DT Terrence Knighton, LB Stewart Bradley & RB Rashard Mendhall for visits & are apparently looking at louis delmas as well

If they can get his head in the game for every snap, who ever signs DRC is going to get one hell of a corner.

not by all the responses you have gotten in here.

what can he do with jake locker throwing the ball his way? and before that hasselbeck? seriously? they didn't even know he was on the field half the time, the way they ignored him.

the whiner lbs will get a nice view of what he can do twice a year.

Don't get me wrong, I think he's mega talented and I agree with the move in that they need to get Bradford some more targets.

I just think he was being viewed as this can't miss #1 TE in FA whereas I don't see him and Walker that different in terms of hands and routes, Walker is clearly a better blocker though

Also, I know Locker sucked but he had no problem finding Britt and Washington
