Updates on Coles, Fitzpatrick, Hangartner and Birk

Update, 9:20 PM EDT: See here for an important clarification on Laveranues Coles' current whereabouts. Long story short: I can neither confirm nor deny that he is still in Buffalo. There has been a lot of confusion, so check out the update to set the record straight. End Update
On the opening day of the NFL's 2009 free agent signing period, the Buffalo Bills made some waves by hosting WR Laveranues Coles and QB Ryan Fitzpatrick at team headquarters, along with other available veterans. The team is also bringing in OG Geoff Hangartner, and there have also been indications that Buffalo is linked to C Matt Birk. Thanks to a well-placed source close to the team, Buffalo Rumblings can exclusively reveal the latest on these visits.
WR Laveranues Coles: Coles has not left Buffalo yet. The veteran wideout's visit was reportedly a very positive one for both parties. Coles will reportedly remain in Buffalo through at least a portion of this evening, and there is positive energy surrounding the entire situation. A deal does not appear imminent, but Buffalo's interest is very legitimate, and the feeling is mutual from Coles' end. There remains a strong possibility (note the lack of the word "probability", and we're certainly not confirming anything) that an accord can be struck. Coles is, however, receiving strong interest from other franchises as well.
QB Ryan Fitzpatrick: Indications are strong that Fitzpatrick will become Buffalo's backup quarterback at some point over the weekend. His meeting with the team went very well, and it's not anticipated at this time that he'll make any more visits. Still, a signing isn't a certainty, but we are comfortable labeling it a probability.
OG Geoff Hangartner: Though it was reported that Hangartner would be in Buffalo on Friday, his visit with Buffalo will not take place until tomorrow (Saturday) morning. Hangartner is reportedly a very high priority target for the Bills, and the team is expected to do all it can to keep Hangartner from leaving town without a deal. It is unclear exactly which position the team anticipates he would play in Buffalo, but popular opinion is that he's being courted as a center.
C Matt Birk: Buffalo was, in fact, one of the teams that contacted Birk. However, the veteran is seeking a deal similar to the one that Jason Brown reportedly was offered in St. Louis this afternoon, which is in the vicinity of $7 million per season. Buffalo is not prepared to pay such a contract to any interior lineman, and thus Birk will not be making a trip to Buffalo. Still, depending on the type of money he can get elsewhere, there's a remote possibility that he'll re-consider if his market value drops. The door is not closed, but it's close.
We do not, unfortunately, have any updates on the rest of the team's recent visitors, including OG Kendall Simmons, CB Drayton Florence and LB Jamie Winborn. Keep it locked in to Buffalo Rumblings for all the latest Bills free agency news.

Nirk is CRAZY if he wants 7 million a year
NO ONE will give him that, he will be lucky to get a Saturday deal. Brown got it because he is young, can play multiple positions, and is a horse.
Coles still in town is a very good sign.
Fitzpatrick would be a good backup ahead of Hamdan
Hopefully we can get Geoff
I think Birk will find the market for his services at that price more than a little bare. If he comes down into the 3-5 million a year range, he will see some action.
If the Bills were a drug, I could only hope they were like speed so I could lose some weight as well.

Can't blame Birk for trying.
He wants to stay in Minny, so if he leaves he wants it to be worth it. He will sign somewhere. Could still be here.

And everyone thought Collins was insane asking for $8m
He got $7.5. Birk doesn’t want to leave Minnesota so it’s going to take a huge deal to top whatever they’re offering.

If the Raiders still want a name center, they might pay Birk’s asking price.

I like Coles but hope they do not go over board. No way would I pay Birk that and I doubt anyone else will. PFT said Brown was hoping to get similar offers as he did not want to stay in St. Louis. Hangartner should be able to be had fairly cheap and if he wants a chance to start what better place than a team with 2 openings. Fitzpatrick is fine, lets face it, if you are counting on you backup QB to take you to the playoffs you are dreaming.

Close to it.
10 % of the teams this year either made the playoffs or should have while playing their backup for a majority of the season.
Of course 10% of the teams starting QBs couldn’t even get them to 3 wins either.

Thoughts
News sounds positive about Coles and Fitzpatrick and hopefully something gets worked out with them (sooner, rather than later!) Very excited about Coles. I’m okay with the Birk situaton because I like the centers in the draft and don’t think the money would be worth it.
That said, are we really going to bring in a back-up center as our starter?
Hangartner is reportedly a very high priority target for the Bills, and the team is expected to do all it can to keep Hangartner from leaving town without a deal
A back-up center is a very high priority? great. Not only that is the guy not a proven starter, but he’s also a “finese” center, rather than a road guarder. Am I confused, doesn’t Buffalo want to run the ball more in 2009? Don’t we play in a division against all 3-4 teams? Why is a finese center such a “high priority?”
John I.
by jri111 on Feb 27, 2009 7:18 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Don’t make the mistake of labeling him a finesse center. He’s more technical than brawn, but he holds up pretty well at the point of attack. He’s not a back-up, either, in the same sense that Kirk Chambers isn’t really a back-up. Hangartner started eight games last year at all three interior line positions.
The feeling I got was that Brown was tops on their list of linemen, but they knew that he’d cost too much money. I believe that Hangartner was second on their list, followed closely by Birk.

Draft a center with a lot of upside. This draft is very deep this year, and guys like Mack and Unger have the potential to be very very good

Made the argument even better.
Yeah, but if we’re liking him to Kirk Chambers, JR’s point remains. why is a Chambers-esque player a very high priority?
by Dyl on Feb 28, 2009 12:41 AM EST up reply actions 0 recs
The only way I was equating him to Chambers was in terms of playing time as an injury fill-in.
Hangartner is viewed by the team as a decidedly better player than Chambers.

Eeesh. That’s a lot of money. What did he make in his last contract?
by krytime on Feb 27, 2009 7:19 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
The only thing I heard was that he wants similar money to Brown; my source’s phrasing was “paid like a God”. Reports have Brown’s offer from St. Louis as $7M per, but we can’t really claim that that’s the precise figure Birk is seeking. He just wants more money than he’s worth at this point.

Coles and Birk news is terrific
I’ve said before that I don’t particularly want Birk because I’d much rather see a younger guy come in and provide stability at center for years, if not a decade. If Birk really wants $6 million plus it’s no longer a mystery why the Vikings broke off talks. There’s really nothing to talk about when one party is babbling incoherently.
I’m not big on brining in a WR but Coles would be a good pick up. He’s a consistent move-the-chains receiver and would be oh-so-motivated to stick it to the Jets twice per year.
I saw a comment from a Pittsburgh fan who thoroughly trashed Simmons (pre-injury) so I’m not sure what to make of Buffalo’s interest in him. Maybe the team just has to have someone who was on the most recent Super Bowl team…

If we can get Coles
I would be so happily surprised I would even back of the “we need a good TE” talk. Coles was a Bill-killer for years, he is a GOOD weapon we can use and would make our need for a TE much less glaring.
But I have a bad feeling it’s all a mirage.

There’s a difference between leaving the building and leaving the city. As I said in the article, Coles is still in town, and there’s a rumor circulating that he was in Buffalo last night as well. He’ll be in Buffalo at least through this evening.

Sometimes the best way to convince a FA to sign with you isn’t to make friends from the FO but rather to introduce him to who he will be playing with so he makes friends with those guys. After all Evans and Reed have just as much riding on him becoming a Bill as the FO does. I’d even say that with Coles part of the WR group, Evans and Reed’s number would both go up because now you have multiple targets. So why wouldn’t Evans and Reed be in town?

Why should two vets need to be in Buffalo in February? Maybe you can argue Evans as a captain and one of the faces of the franchise showing a guy around. But why would Josh Reed need to be in Buffalo? It’s the offseason for these guys, they tend to spend it back home.

Birk
all I’m going to say is the guy is more motivated than ever and this is purely financial as it is for most players. For what he has done for the Twin Cities community here in MN he feels he has been underpaid for a long time and now wants his payday. The market will play itself out. He’s a top notch person, but this is economics and I don’t fault the guy for it.
Get Coles and I’ll be a happy guy. Hardly ever gets injured, a tough SOB, and has that chip on his shoulder that I think would be good for this offense. However, having 3 WR’s in Evans, Coles and Reed all under 5’10" is rough. We got to get Hardy healthy and a TE who can be a factor in the red zone

Edited this at 9:23 for clarification on one point re: Coles. Many are misconstruing “he’s still here” with “he’s spending the night” or “they’re negotiating” or other such inferred points.
I’ll make this perfectly clear: I was informed that Coles had left One Bills Drive this afternoon, but was planning on spending at least a portion of the evening in Buffalo. Beyond that, I have absolutely no idea what’s going to happen. He may stay the night, he may schedule another visit, he may be abducted by aliens. I just don’t want folks getting the wrong impression. Coles didn’t leave Buffalo immediately after his tour at OBD, but I can neither confirm nor deny that he’s still in Buffalo at this moment.

Why?
They’d finally have something to market to the fans.

I'd love to have Danica Patrick
I don’t care where you put her, she’d be a deffinate asset, especially in the locker room.

she’s basically chris kelsey, but with an endorsement deal from Godaddy.
doesn't buy posluzny.

ahhhhhhh
She is ALOT better looking, and to be honest, could have more sacks than Kelsay, and I mean that ON the field, not just off of it!
If the Bills were a drug, I could only hope they were like speed so I could lose some weight as well.

Chris Kelsey, not so much

I heard Coles went to New England
I could be wrong, i just got home from work but my dad just said he saw on the evening news(Rochester) that Coles is going to visit New England. Brian, are you sure hes still in Buff?

He could have a visit scheduled...
and still be in Buff.

Fitzgerald is a good Backup QB
It is someone who has playing time, and is young. When I say him play last year I got the feeling that he is OK. But not the train wreck that JP could be.
How many years can we go without making the playoffs...eventually the odds go in your favor.........right?!?!?

So how long until we hear the chants for Fitz to start over Trent?
Week 2-3 preseason? LOL

I hope not
Having flashes of Fitzpatrick last year is making me shudder….

he still can't be worst than Losman
At least Fitzy has an excuse for the sacks and turnovers, his offencive line sucked. JP didn’t have that luxury

happy with Fitz now lets seal the deal with Coles
Can we not let him get away to New England or Miami?
If we can finagle DE Brian Orakpo and C Alex Mack I will not complain about this team for a whole season. I promise.

Why would Coles want to play for NE? He’d be #3 most likely. There is such a thing as too much star power.

Trust me there are Pro's and Cons
Thanx Dantheman,
My wife and I are season ticket holders who live 350 miles away. We argue over team philosophy. I have to admit, it is awesome. But it can be frustrating not even winning argument over football. HAHAHAH. To make a point, she thinks our staff is incompetent, and IM totaly in favor of OBD. Makes discussions feel like home……

I'm 50/50 on coles
I think he is an improvement.
But he always complains about money……….He is 31 and wants $$$$. I think for the right price I’m ok with the move.

well
from what Tim Grahm said on WGR today it isnt the money he is making its the longevity of his deal.. 6mill was fine just for like 3 years
by danntheman on Feb 27, 2009 9:57 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
I would think with the possibilty of uncapped years coming up
that he’d want a shorter contract so he could get maxium money at a future date.

I
would figure that too but thats why he wanted out of NY

Fitz signed is a good start
The question is what will it take to sign Coles?
If the Bills were a drug, I could only hope they were like speed so I could lose some weight as well.

Update on Coles
Tim Graham reports Pennington isn’t pushing for Coles to go to Miami. Good news.
