    I find it funny that the moved up to acquire an additional 1st rounder last year to get McCArgo from NC St and drafted K. Williams from LSU and are still looking to upgrade on the DL.

    I have heard that the Bills will not overpay for Clements. Odds are that he won't be circling any wagons next year.

    McGahee as a Giant sounds pretty good but not sure what they would give for him. A first rounder and some scrub?

    I heard the Bills would accept a 2nd round pick.

    Frankly, I am shocked that Marv & Dick are ready to give up on Willis, but, hey its Buffalo.

    The Bills aren't satisfied with McGahee's versatility. He's not a good runner outside of the tackles and is not a very good receiver out of the backfield. I really think they'll consider making a play for Peterson or Lynch if they do happen to trade off McGahee. They might go after Lynch anyway as a compliment to McGahee and eventual replacement.

    willis does not have the athletic ablilty that tiki had, willis can run between the tackles but he is not able to run tosses and catch like tiki. he is a good powerful back, but instead of getting rid of him just add someone who can catch and run outside the tackles, just like jacksonville did when they brung in maurice jones-drew and look what happened there

    I agree with your thought process, but your example is off a bit. Fred Taylor is a great all around back. Health is the issue with him. When he was healthy though, he was one of the best backs in the league. The problem was that he was never healthy. That's why they added Jones-Drew.

    McGahee is definitely a great interior runner though and a back who could take the ball outside the tackles and catch the ball would be a great assett.

    The thing is he'd be paired up with Brandon Jacobs in New York, I think they could compliment each other very well.
