    Then that should mean its a done deal, right?

    Tate would be a serviceable running back, most likely, in a system he already knows. But, why should we spend big FA money on a RB whose production could most likely be reproduced by a second or third rounder, or below? Instead of giving him $5m a year (or whatever it'd be) and drafting a 3rd round CB - because let's be honest, we're most likely looking offense with picks 1b and 2 - spend that money of decent CB, for example.

    Because he's a proven back at the NFL level and we can afford him?

    Wade Phillips as - DC

    Wade is strictly a 3-4 guy... He's not exactly a "taylor-your-Defense-to-your-personel" kind of guy.

    Pettine is going to bring one of his staffers from the Bills to be a DC...

  • tate, schmate.

    grab some laundry guy in the 5th round. he'll be the next curtis martin.

  • Based on Fosters injury history I would not be surprised at all to see the Texans keep Tate. Having said that he didnt have a season last year that will drive his value as high as he would like on the market.

  • I read where Pettine wants an ex HC on his staff. With Kubiak apparently out of the mix it will be interesting to watch. Other than that, I wouldn't be surprised to see mostly younger guys. We'll see.

  • Will not be Jim Schwartz....he has replaced Pettine in Buffalo

  • can anyone say dick jauron?

  • To be honest, I'm hoping for all young, new coaches and coordinators. Let's frickin' build something special with some new innovative coaches that only need a shot. I saw enough of former head coach Norv Turner's offense last year to last me a lifetime............ I'm in hook, line and sinker.

  • Steve Spagnuolo?

  • How about me? I'll be the offensive coordinator (give me a call pettine).

  • I heard yesterday that the Browns were interested in Kubiak but McShea says it ain't gonna happen and Grossi agrees. We shall see...

    At this point, I agree, I would rather get an RB out of the draft.....maybe a couple with out 10 picks.

    I totally agree. Why buy some used tread when we have plenty of draft picks to grab some fresh legs. Running backs don't need a lot of seasoning or coaching, Grab them when they are young (not 34 like Willis ... what a bad joke that was).

    Seems like a lot of good running backs coming out early in this draft, grab a bruiser to go with Lewis and Baker/Oby.

    Tate is barely even broken in. I wouldn't be upset with the move, but there are plenty of exciting mid-round backs in this draft. Hyde, Seastrunk, Storm Johnson, and Andre Williams can be had in the third or later

  • I would not invest in a big named free agent RB. You can snatch up two guys in the middle rounds to platoon.

  • #Bills have til Mon to decide if they’ll allow DC candidate Jim O’Neil to take CLE job. If not, Ravens LB coach Don Martindale is a target

    I like Simms but probably not as a 2nd rounder. I suppose to some degree that would depend on what type of offense we install. To me in many offenses he ends up being a 3rd down back. If on the other hand we run a lot of screens etc he might be the starter. There seem to be enough choices for RBs in this draft to get solid guys in the 3rd and even 4th rounds.

    I understand they have until Monday to decide, but what would it serve the Bills to basically FORCE someone to stay? Not saying he'll "tank" his job there, but would he be totally into it & totally effective in Buffalo? I have my doubts.

    C'mon Bills, let him go!

  • They've already hired Schwartz as DC, right? They're not keeping him. They'd have to make him assistant head coach and give him a pay raise equivalent to a coordinator.
