Yes Wilson has looked that good this pre-season so he should be the unquestioned starter! You dont take a young budding star and stick him in a position he doesnt want to play. Lucas is a very good back-up. Plain and simply safety is a position we just have no need for!

I agree with you that we are fat at saftey, so I am pretty indifferent to the idea of signing him, but I still don't think it would "hurt" us to sign him.

Milloy was cut because he counted too much against the Pats salary cap and Milloy and his agent, Carl Posten, were being total jerks during contract extension negotiations.

This is the same Carl Posten who tried to get Orlando Pace a $23 mill signing bonus.

Milloy is still a great player but dealing with Posten is impossible. The Pats just gave up and moved on.

If he was a CB then I agree sign him up, but Safety is not an area of need unless Lucas can't play.

But even then, this guy wouldn't sign to be a backup

An ok cb is better than a bad one which hill is.

Renaldo Hill is not a bad corner.

ok he is mediocore at best. He will be taken advantage of all day if he was a starter.

If he signs the bills are going to be straight up nasty on defense.

That'd be a great signing for them. Their safeties are the weak link on a promising defense. Whomever they have back there are just place-holders.

The AFC East is a monster division.

I think McDaniel is the starter now right? if hill is the starter we are in for a very long year.

Makes sense from Milloy's perspective as well....Nothing like two cracks at the team that dumped him.

Shouldnt wilson think more about the team than himslef? I thought that is what mac wanted. Less of the personal achievements and more of the team achievements. Making the pro bowl should be in the back of his mind. Helping this team should be his #1 priority. If he dosent want to make changes in order to help the better of the team than what does that say about him as a person. I belive we have been moving players out of position all year especailly on the OL.

I don't have a problem with going after Milloy but I do take expception to comparing moving Wilson to CB and moving OL's.

OL is a totally different beast, a LOT of NFL guards were college tackles anyways, so moving a guy like Big because of injury wasn't that big of a deal. Now if we're moving Starkey or Dishman to LT that's more comparable. SS and CB are totally different positions, Wilson has the talent to play CB but he's spent his entire offseason and camp playing SS, to move him now might stunt his development. A lot of us believe Corey Chavous' career was negatively impacted by moving him to CB when we drafted him as a safety. Also most of Adrian's problems are leaving assignments to pursue plays, if you do that as a CB you give up a lot of big plays.

Back to Milloy, with the amount of 3 WR sets in our division who's to say having 3 good safeties and 2 CB's isn't just as effective a nickel package as 3 good CB's since we don't have them?

Buffalo has already improved their D quite a bit. If Malloy signs, I've got to think they'd be hard to beat.

I've read nothing to that effect... and HILL, like any other corner over the course of season, will be no better than the rush we get on the QB...

Right now, our corners are:

1. Barrett
2. Hill
3. Rhinehart
4. McDaniel

Just read on the Patsies board that they think the deal between the Bills and Milloy was done even before he was cut.....
