Thanks for that info. You can still be productive in your 30's. Just look at Whit. I know he is not the average guy but it does mean there is hope for an older vet too.
You're right Ramsdude, in todays game 30 is no longer any kind of expiration date. What I wouldn't give to roll back the clock to my 30's!
Having additional experience on the OL at this point can't hurt.
So, since I'm bored at work, here's what the Bills have to offer:
FA's
David Quessenberry, T/G, age 32, 6-5, 310 - started 17 games for the Titans in 2021
Roger Saffold, OG, age 34, 6-5, 325 - We know & love this guy. For the right price in an instant.
Greg Van Roten, OG, age 32, 6-4, 295 - Has bounced around the NFL & CFL. Did start for the Jets in '21 so LeFleur might know him
Ike Boettger, OG age 28, 6-6, 313 - Probably the most interesting, but Achilles injury in college and torn it in '21. Spent most of '22 on the PUP list
Bobby Hart, OG age 28, 6-5, 310 - Has bounced around the league and started on 2 teams. He would know the offense from being on the Bengals, but the Bengal OL of that time was pretty bad.
PS
Greg Mancz, C/G, age 30, 6-4, 302 - Has been on 6 rosters in 7 years. Started every game for the Texans in 2016.
Ryan Van Demark, OT, age 24, 6-6 , 307 - Rookie. Zone blocker but not described as having much upside.
The first thing that jumps out at me is the size of all those players. Most are 6' 4" or more and over 300 lbs! Sign me up for some of that! lol
It's funny, since they also run a similar blocking scheme as us but McVay seems to like "little" guys. (If you can call 6' 1" 295 lbs little that is)
I would be ok with trying Quessenberry and bringing in Saffold to see if he has any gas left in his tank. Saffold might be better than anything we have right now even if he's running on 1/2 empty!
#HelmetHornsMatter
“Well, the color is good, I like the metallic blue,” Youngblood recently said while laughing, via NFL Journal. “The horn is terrible. It looks like a ‘C.’ When I first saw it on the logo I honestly thought it was a Charger logo.
“Now when I see it on the helmet, it just isn’t a ram horn. There is no distinct curl like a mature ram horn. I don’t know how the Rams could get that wrong. That is your symbol and it has been for what? Seventy years or more? Longer than I have been alive? It’s just not us, it’s not the Rams.”---Mr. Ram Jack Youngblood
