I agree with your sentiment on Lynch, but don’t count your chickens on this Taylor visit. There’s a mutual respect between he and Jauron. Don’t be shocked if something gets done.

Can you imagine the type of influence Taylor would have on Lynch? I mean, Taylor was a great influence on Jones-Drew… it’s just a thought. They might be looking for a babysitter for Lynch; might as well get one that can play, right?

But he’s not signing here as a #3 when he has a chance to start in New England.

And I’ll play devil’s advocate…why wouldn’t the Bills at least listen to offers for Lynch? I love Lynch as a player, but maybe, and I realize how foolish this sounds, maybe the Bills know more about Lynch than we do. The next time he screws up, we could lose him for 8 games or more. Can we afford that?

And he said Calvin Johnson was the #1 overall pick in 2007, but f course he wasn’t, he was the 2nd overall pick. And while that might be nit-picking, he gets paid very well, while the guys on heir like Brian and Kurupt would at least have the decency to do the right research for an article they are to post, and they do it for free!
Now, maybe thats a bit much, but i noticed it today and was pretty pissed that he is paid to miswrite facts

The Bills wouldn’t be wasting Fred Taylor’s time just to catch up. There’s definitely going to be genuine interest in his services.

That being said, i’m not convinced anyone, let alone Fred Taylor would have an influence on Lynch – seeing how he totally ignored the commish’s comments and suggestions once.

I think if they were going to trade him, it would have to be now, or just following the coming season. If he gets a 3rd incident, and an 8-game suspension (or worse), his value is nil to the Bills. He’s a great player, with on-field heart matched by few. He’s also a RB, where it’s easier to replace talent.

In this situation with Lynch, no assumption is safe.

If they are serious about Taylor then what does this say about Jackson’s ability to land the multi-year deal that he covets? Taylor will probably still want at least $3MM (was to count $6MM against Jax’s cap this year) I would think. would OBD pay Taylor that kind of money and still sign Jackson or would OBD tender an offer to Jackson and deal with the potential fallout from there?

IF Larry Johnson finds himself without a home, he could also be someone the Bills court – should the situation with Marshy get mushy.

feels that the team is so young, bringing in guys that can get on the field, have been there before, are professional maybe would rub off on the younger guys. Stroud, Fred Taylor, an Owen Daniels, Kawika Mitchell…..maybe an influx of experience on offense will help out this Bills team

Don’t be too sure about Lynch being given another chance. He has proven to everyone that he has no character (hit/run) and that he is plain dumb and thoughtless (hit/run—gun) how many more chances does one need? Everyone deserves one but in this case two???Not to sure about that.

the Bills cannot afford to let go of Lynch UNLESS they are trading him to Philly for both of their draft picks in round one AND signing Taylor. Personally, I don’t see any of this happening. Marshawn needs a BODYGUARD and a BABYSITTER. One to drive him around and the other to keep him away from the guns and the green.

The thing that makes me question a Taylor signing is that the Bills routinely only dressed 2 RBs a game last year. I guess now that I think about it, bringing Taylor in isn’t a precursor to a Lynch trade. It’s a precursor to a long Lynch suspension maybe?

Q: I read Taylor was going to interview in Buff which could result in Lynch getting traded. Would that even be smart?

 Matt Williamson: (1:58 PM ET ) Sorta. Lynch is a smidge overrated and also is getting into a lot of trouble off the field, which miht be all Buff needs to move him. Still, Fred T went to U of Flor and played at Jax-think he is going to be doing cartwheels to move to Buffalo?

Yes – EXTREMELY SMART.

Trade Lynch to Philly for #21 and a third. Then TRADE 11 to the Texans for Daniels. Use #21 to take Mack or a DE. Trade other 3rd and new 3rd for a 2nd and take a WR. Sign Taylor as the starter with Jackson as the backup and you no longer have a BLUNT problem in the backfield.

All of this = will never happen
