With the draft only 30 days and some loose change away, many are wondering what the Bills are going to do. One of those many is myself.
The Bills are signing free agents at a snail's pace. Without boring you to much, the few things the Bills organization has done really has me wondering. The Bills have a new "big name coach," new GM, no T.O., uncertainty at QB, an over-paid running back, no offensive scheme or offense for that matter, a left guard who retired at the tender age of 24, a defensive end who doesn't know if he wants to retire nor will he let the franchise know, and most importantly fans who are fed up with losing.
So where do they go from here? Well, first they need to be more aggressive in free agency. Signing offensive tackle, Cornell Green last week and linebacker, [...]

The second installment of the Patriots Free Agency Hindsight Report is ready for release after a significant week of movement! Enough intro, let's get right into it here:
-TE Ben Watson is officially a member of the Cleveland Browns. No surprise that they lost him - they didn't have a lot of incentive to bring back a player that only had one season with at least 40 catches and 500 yards (2006 his third season: 49 catches, 643 yards, 3 TDs). In fact, the Patriots faced almost the same situation in 2007 when they let 2002 first round pick TE Daniel Graham go after five seasons (none with at least 40 catches and 500 yards). More on this later.
-CB Leigh Bodden re-signed with the Patriots. His new contract is for 4 years, $22 million, with $10 million guaranteed. Starter's [...]

I have not been avoiding the topic of Terrell Owens possibly becoming a Cincinnati Bengal. I simply have not had time to offer my thoughts on whether or not he could be a productive addition to the offense. For or against the acquisition, media members and bloggers have formed very strong opinions on the subject.
Owens' track record of being a horrible teammate is well documented. His stops in San Francisco, Philadelphia and Dallas were all filled with drama. He has always come off as a player with outstanding ability from the neck down and nothing from the neck up. His selfish attitude has alienated teammates and fans.
I also think the Bengals should sign him.
Why, you ask?
The Bengals need a wide receiver.
Last season, it was obvious that Chad [...]

Welcome ladies and gents to the 2010 New England Patriots offseason. I'm happy to be back at it again, as money is getting exchanged in this uncapped free agency period. It's been another minute since the last time you all have heard from me, and my plan is to not give you all 2,000 words. That said, this is the time of the year where plans start getting adjusted by external factors! I'll call these reports the Hindsight Reports because all we are going to do is look back on them and judge. Let me catch you all up on what's been up the last couple of weeks (besides the Combine, more on that jazz later):
-WR Randy Moss conceded that 2010 will most likely be his last season in New England: I think what is interesting about this is that Moss' cited the fact that New England [...]

Terrell Owens is now a UFA which means unrestricted free agent. Anyone can pick him up for however much money he and his agent agree to.
He is an example of the joys of free agency which give hope to struggling teams looking to improve their team by going after experienced players for lucrative contracts.
According to Sports Illustrated, Cowboys wide receiver, Patrick Crayton, has stated that he would welcome the return of Terrell Owens should he come back to the Dallas Cowboys.
However, I don't think the Cowboys will go after Terrell due to a few reasons.
A: He's a year older and we don't know if he'll [...]

As I predicted throughout the season, Terrell Owens will not be returning to Buffalo next season. The Bills announced this week that they will not pick up the second year option on the receiver that Buffalo gave the "key to the city" less than a year ago.
Terrell had less then a stellar year with the Bills this past season. Of course, not all of his short comings were his fault. Throughout the season the Bills fired their offensive coordinator two weeks [...]

As the free agency deadline nears the major movement in the NFL has come from the running back position this past week with five running backs being let go or non tendered to free agency.
San Diego's LaDainian Tomlinson, Philadelphia's Brian Westbrook, Cleveland's Jamal Lewis, San Diego's Darren Sproles and New Orleans' Mike Bell. Also New York Jets running back Thomas Jones will be released next week so he will be added to the list when that becomes official.
Terrell Owens was informed by the Buffalo Bills Saturday that the 36 year old wide receiver would not be back with the organization in 2010 making him a free agent.

The Bills capped off the end of the 2009-10 season with a snow storm of a victory over the visiting Indianapolis Colts 30-7. I must admit, I was quite pleased with the effort the Bills put into this game being they were not going to face all the great talent on the Colts roster. Why did the Bills not face the talent you may ask? Well, the Colts are in the playoffs with a first-week bye and home-field advantage throughout. Of course, all of us know what the Bills will be doing this off-season, right?
Regardless of the off-season, the Bills and their players put up wonderful and somewhat impressive numbers last Sunday. The key components to the victory were the offense found the end zone, Bills QB, Ryan Fitzpatrick threw no interceptions and the defense actually tackled and somewhat [...]

It took awhile, but New England Patriots WR Randy Moss has done it. With his embarrassing effort against the Carolina Panthers following a bad morning during the week, Moss has become a malcontent in New England after it appeared that the presence of head coach Bill Belichick and QB Tom Brady would prevent that from happening. With the Patriots playing the Buffalo Bills Sunday on the road, I couldn't help but compare Moss with the other premier prima donna WR of the decade, Terrell Owens. The fiery receiver hasn't made much noise on or off the field this season, but since his arrival in March the Bills have fired head coach Dick Jauron, fired offensive coordinator Turk [...]

First time head coach Perry Fewell led his Buffalo Bills and new starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick on to the field Sunday afternoon to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars. Putting up somewhat of an impressive fight, the Bills managed to almost win in Fewell's first game as interim head coach.
Overall, I did see signs of improvement on the offensive side of the ball that I have not seen in the [...]
