I know it's from a few pages back but the bills were one of the better teams in the league for generating sacks. Williams actually had a very productive year.

Back to free agency, I really hope Carolina doesn't get Nicks. It would be great to see him back home repping the Patriots, but I can't say that I trust him to be a number one receiver.

I'm actually really okay with the Redskins signing Andre Roberts. He seemed to be pretty good every time I saw him in highlights, is a punt returner, and it looks like they didn't comically overpay for him.

He was on pace to be a solid #2, the year before Floyd broke out, Roberts had about 750 yards. He is solid.

I don't understand. The Raiders FO uses Reece all over, giving him awards, using him as the Raider's mouthpiece, sending him to fundraisers etc. But they absolutely refuse to utilize him on the field

He's drastically overpriced in the current market because of how good his last season was - he's ultimately a run-defending safety that gets injured a fair amount. Not very good in pass coverage at all.

Also, he has a pretty terrible missed tackle ratio - something like nine tackles to one missed.

@RapSheet: When the #Browns reach a deal with Donte Whitner, I’m told it’s expected to be four years for an average of $7M per year.

freeagentflowchart.jpg and all, but no thanks at that price. Whitner played pretty well for two out of his three years here but he was also on a pretty cheap contract and he'll be 29 come the season opener. Baalke's had a pretty good track record with scouting secondary so I'd prefer them to take their chances with a rookie than match that deal.

I actually think Graham would be decent upgrade over Williams but maybe I'm just higher on him than others. :shrug:

Same here. Graham has a baseline of a mediocre corner, but he can get streaky (in a good way) and string together some really nice plays every once a in a while. He was one of the few decent pieces on that awful 2012 defense.

Cary Williams has a tendency to get consistently beat with occasional flashes of being decent. No matter what happens though, he usually gets mad and tries to fight someone.

If we end up grabbing a receiver in FA I'd rather it be Edelman instead of Smith. Steve owns but I dunno.
