Buffalo Bills Free Agency Grade and Review

Contributor - Dan Goldman, mvn.com/nfl-bills

Team Needs - DT, LB, WR, CB, DE

Key additions - DT Marcus Stroud (Jacksonville), DT Spencer Johnson (Minnesota), Kawika Mitchell (New York Giants), TE Courtney Anderson (Oakland).

Key Losses - WR Sam Aiken (New England), TE Michael Gaines (Detroit), CB Jason Webster (New England), WR Peerless Price, CB Kiwaukee Thomas, RB Anthony Thomas, DT Larry Tripplett, LB Coy Wire, LB Mario Haggan, LB Josh Stamer.

Key Free Agents Retained - OL Jason Whittle (re-signed), TE Matt Murphy (re-signed).

Free Agency Notes - After two years of Marv Levy running the show, COO Russ Brandon and his team are now calling the shots at One Bills Drive. To start, the Bills addressed their 31st-ranked defense by signing linebacker Kawika Mitchell. Buffalo also addressed one of the team's weaker positions, the defensive line. The Bills sent third-and-fifth-round picks to Jacksonville to acquire Pro Bowl defensive tackle Marcus Stroud. Adding former Vikings DT Spencer Johnson also adds to the depth up front. The Bills tried to add a tall wide receiver to compliment Lee Evans , making a run at Bryant Johnson. However, Johnson wanted too much money and signed a one-year deal with San Francisco. Buffalo released a lot of veterans, but most wouldn't have started for other teams in the league last year.

Grade - B+

Review of Grade - The Bills were aggressive in addressing their defensive needs. Adding Mitchell, Johnson and Stroud is sure to improve the defense by leaps and bounds in 2008. Buffalo tried to improve at tight end and wide receiver, but the notable players signed elsewhere. They still have plenty of cap room, but there isn't anyone worth spending it on. Now, Buffalo needs to find a tall wide receiver, cornerback, tight end and a pass rusher in the draft. Also, look for Brandon to send quarterback J.P. Losman to another team on draft day.

Losman still adjusting to backup role

It’s a role no NFL quarterback wants to have, but J.P. Losman knows it’s his job this year. The backup role is never easy as you’re often thrust into a game cold, which was the case for Losman last Sunday.

Bills Facing Similar Tasks Against Another AFC South Opponent

I’m not sure if you’ve heard or not, but it’s been anything but calm or quiet around One Bills Drive this week. Quick recap of this past week’s events. Last Sunday, the Bills were trounced by the Titans, 41-17, giving up 24 points in the fourth quarter. Two days later, Bills owner Ralph Wilson [...]

Is Brohm Signing Beginning Of End For Edwards?

When Ralph Wilson, team owner of the Buffalo Bills, indicated that there would be wholesale changes within the organization, he obviously included the players as well as the coaching staff and front office, as evidenced by the team’s signing of quarterback Brian Brohm to a two-year contract and releasing third-string QB Gibran Hamdan. What does the [...]

Jauron’s Tenure Comes to a Dreadful, Necessary End

I guess the moral here is that if you ask for something long and loudly enough, then you shall receive. Ok so that’s not entirely true, but right now that’s not the issue. The fact is the Bills have given their fans what they wanted by firing head coach Dick Jauron on Tuesday [...]

Dave Snuggerud Open Thread: Florida at Buffalo

I knew I had played the whole “Paul Cyr was cool because he was shot in the abdomen while in a cab in the Dominican Republic and he was never really the same” card before, so I went with a guy nicknamed “Snuggy” instead. Snuggerud may have played a brief three seasons here in Buffalo, but [...]

Proof that billboards work? Jauron relieved of duties.

A joke, obviously. But the Dick Jauron firing came a year too late for most Bills fans.  Now the Bills will have to promote Perry Fewell or Bobby April as a “placeholder” while the rebuilding process starts yet again. I think April  survive the “interim head coach” thing because everyone will know he’s a placeholder, and he [...]
