Plus they have a good OL so Bush won't have a lot of blocking assignments. Its a good fit.

You really think Detroit has a good OL? we lose our starting tackles, and our C and RG are very undesirable. They were a pretty good pass blocking unit, but hardly a good Oline. I would be surprised if they didn't take one of the top two OT"s available in the draft..

Ugh. Article here has a recording of a phone conversation between GM's Buddy Nix (Bills) and Mark Dominik (Bucs). It was set up and recorded by pranksters.

I don't condone those actions, but I like listening to how those people talk and think about things.
If winning was easy even losers would do it.

Asomugha is a guy I'd like to get for Pettine's defense.
The most frustrating part of the Bills is that they suck...but they still only have like 18m in cap space. Where the heck is that money going? Ugh.

LaCanfora says they're one of several teams pursuing Revis.
The part of me that's excited about the prospect remembers being really excited about Nnamdi coming to town a couple years ago. Different players, I know, but wondering if a team that can't protect its quarterback or sack the other quarterback really needs another high-priced corner.
I think I'll call Richard Sherman and ask him.

Disaster if you ask me. A corner that wants 16M coming off an ACL. The other thing is he always seems to be whining about getting a new contract. This screams of a certain basketball center that just got into town.

I think they had a good OL last year. Did not know they lost their tackles. But I think they lost games because of their D, and see them picking Defense. Of course, if Joeckel or Fischer are still there at #5, they will be hard to pass up as BPA. But I think those two go top 4. There is a nice tier of early round 2 tackles, so I still think DET for Defense in Round 1.
But maybe I just want an OT to fall to #16 for my Rams!!

I appreciate the outside perspective, lions fans are very doom and gloom about everything so it's tough to get a gauge on where the teams needs really lie... Should be an interesting offseason for the NFL as a whole, doesn't seem like there are many strong teams this year..

For the Bills? Tarvaris Jackson is really the only legit option on the roster right now. They'll probably draft and sign a couple of QB's.

Sounds like Isaac Sopoaga and James Casey are on the Iggles radar.

Do they hope to re-sign him at a lower salary? Even if they target a QB in the draft, it is a huge gamble to go into the season without a QB.

Matty Lite!
I actually could see him in their camp as OB has close ties there.

Doubt it. They asked him to restructure his contract but he refused.
Right now, Tarvaris Jackson is the QB, so they do have someone. Someone good is a different issue altogether.

WIP had a few guys on today saying Revis isn't happening thankfully.

May need to ask White_Out if Matt Flynn is available.
