The Eagles must have no faith in his ability to get healthy and contribute. Andrews looked like he had one of the biggest bargain contracts in the league. It wasn’t that long ago that he was one of the best guards in football.

Normally, I’d say it would be a mistake for Buffalo to add another question mark to the OL, but Andrews has elite ability if he can get healthy. I know some people would prefer Buffalo play it safe in the draft, but somebody like Andrews is the exact kind of risk/reward player that a team who is desperate for talent like Buffalo should explore.

I signed up for Second Life about a year ago. Back then my life was so great that I literally wanted a second one. In my Second Life I was also a paper salesman and I was also named Dwight. Absolutely everything was the same. Except I could fly. - Dwight Schrute

I'd kick the tires

and offer a low to mediocre deal if he checks out medically. Considering he played some tackle, I wouldn’t mind letting him heal and competing for the RT job with Green.

Definitely

Offer him a low cost, short term deal, just to see if he can get back to form. Worth a shot at an eliteish lineman, which we desperately need.

I wouldnt bother...

Hes suffering from depression and back problems. If hes suffering from depression playing on the Eagles, and playing next to his freakin brother… theres no way hes going to jump for joy and play hard for the Bills. I think retirement is in his near future… He just doesnt seem interested in football anymore…

I worry about the depression

And the back. But if he’s cleared by our medical staff, why not offer him an incentive based contract?

everybodys depressed in philly

mcnabb a probable hall of fame qb gets booed in philly and the want replace him every year i guess there sick of winning all the time. imagine what they do to to a lineman that i read about is a kind of a whack job. it would be hit or miss but id give him a shot with a small contract everybody in the world can be diagnosed with depression and you know the bills medical staff will clear anybody.
