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.

Another Shiny Bat for Pujols 5

Congrats to Bert for winning another Silver Slugger Award just a little while ago. It’s his 5th SS Award (rumor has it that some are prominently displayed in Oliver Perez’s apartment, while the others are at PNC Park). This is not to be confused with the Silver Thugger Award, awarded to Hooks and [...]

Dear Dolphins Coaches…

Fuck you. Bottom line is:  I love you and I have faith in you guys.  I really do.  Wildcat shit from ‘08?  Awesome. You revolutionized the NFL.  That ‘bend-but-don’t-break’ defense of ‘08?? Genius.  I mean, some really stellar schemes in the secondary when we had some experienced guys back there. BUT LATELY YOU’VE BEEN A BUNCH OF [...]

T.O. Misses Bills Practice with Strained Hip

The Bills have plenty of issues on offense already, and now the status of Terrell Owens is up in the air, as the wide out missed practice Wednesday because of a strained hip. Coach Dick Jauron said in a conference call that the injury became apparent late Tuesday. Jauron said Owens was very uncomfortable. The [...]

Breaking Down the Second Half of the Schedule

The Bills entered the 2009 season with high hopes of reaching the playoffs for the first time in the last 10 years. Signing Terrell Owens in the offseason injected enthusiasm into a frustrated and disappointed fan base. That injection of enthusiasm, however, was short lived and has completely worn off thanks to a [...]

Random hockey thoughts that can’t wait until tomorrow

Clarke MacArthur is a good guy.  He’s a clean player, and has no reputation as the type who would deliberately try to injure someone.  And his concern for Liam Reddox was evident in the replay.  All that being said, MacArthur should be and will face a fine and suspension for his hit last night, and [...]

Gerry Meehan Open Thread: Oilers at Sabres

Boy oh boy, but No. 15 for the Sabres is fraught with suck. When Zubaz, Dixon Ward, Lou Franceschetti, and Randy Wood are the big names you know you have issues. So I kicked it back to all-the-way old school and went with Gerry Meehan, an original Sabre. Meehan may have only played four seasons in Buffalo but [...]

Mair’s Office Gets Relocated

Looks like Adam Mair will be likely heading to Portland as he has cleared waivers. I have to admit to being a bit surprised he made it through, but then again most teams have their fourth-line-guy-who-tries-really-hard-and-makes-750K-per-year-and-likes-to-fight.  So, he’s off to Portland. On thing that waiving Mair accomplished that I failed to consider yesterday was giving the Sabres [...]
