Tim Graham's AFC East Free Agent Chat
The entire tex is at the link. Here's the Bills-centric stuff.
On the Bills needs:
They need a 4-3 pass rusher, a center, a No. 2 receiver with some size and general depth. They need to upgrade their second stringers at many positions.
On Fred Taylor:
Not working in Buffalo's favor is the fact he's visiting there today and New England on Wednesday. The Patriots are known for making a power play with visiting free agents. They sell the organization hard and like for the player to leave with a signed contract. Taylor probably wouldn't sign with the Bills before making his trip to New England ... and the facilities will look much better on Wednesday.
On a "huge free agency splash":
The wild card aspect of this year's offseason with the Bills -- I think -- is that they might deviate from their usual M.O. in player acquisitions. They brought back Dick Jauron and didn't hire a GM. One of the few ways to shake things up would be an uncharacteristic, splashy free agent signing. I guess it's possible.
On Brandon Pettigrew at #11:
I don't think it's too high based on what I've seen of him in action, but his 40 time of 4.87 was surprisingly slow. Still, scouts think he's the best tight end in the draft.
On Jeff Saturday:
The Bills should at least be monitoring. (That's a tellingly-short statement.)
