General manager Brandon Beane has been talking about a veteran presence at center since the Senior Bowl. He wants that experienced anchor to the offensive line to help out Josh Allen in setting protections and solidifying the middle of the line, allowing them to potentially place inexperienced players at both guard spots.Let’s look at the track record for Beane:In September of 2017, just a few months after Beane took over as GM, he signed Eric Wood to a contract extension even though he had time remaining on his current deal.After Wood abruptly retired due to injury, Beane signed a four-year starter who had never missed a game as a pro; Russell Bodine.In Carolina, Beane watched as Ryan Kalil was named All-Pro twice and wne to the Pro Bowl five times. He earned several contract extensions with the Panthers, playing 12 years.Centers have been important for teams Beane has been on and he has ponied up the money for them time and time again. With that being said, only two guys are clear upgrades over Bodine; Matt Paradis and Mitch Morse.Paradis is recovering from a broken leg, but had made 57 consecutive starts for the Denver Broncos prior to that. He’s expected the be the crown jewel of the center class, and he is used to the weather of Denver (and Idaho, his home state). If Buffalo ponies up the money White Jerry Hughes Jerseys , they might be a team that can attract him.Buffalo coach Sean McDermott should have some connection to Morse through Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid. Not quite as durable as Paradis, Morse has been almost as good of a player when he stays in the lineup. He’s started 49 games over four seasons, playing in only 18 games over the last two years. Morse is more than three years younger than Paradis, which could also factor into the conversation.The rest of the center class have major injury problems, blocking problems, intelligence problems, or some combination of the three. At best, they are an even swap with Bodine, so there’s little point in adding them.If they want a solid center who is a clear upgrade over Bodine and doesn’t need time to adjust to the NFL, they need to grab one of these two guys. Even if it’s Paradis for three years to shepherd the young Allen from inexperienced to a veteran, it will be worth it.Show notes:Upgrading at the center positionList of centers available in free agencyList of centers available in the 2019 NFL DraftSurprise veteran cutsBills roster and cap hitsHere’s the contract page for my answer (LISTEN TO THE PODCAST!)List of available players at that positionMoreCleveland Browns decision-makers wanted Sean McDermott - except their ownerNFL.com report on Kareem Hunt likely being suspended for more than six gamesRemember Jerry Hughes Jerseys 2019 , you can call us at 716-508-0405 to leave your question about the Bills.

Defensive end Jerry Hughes is set to stay around Buffalo a little longer.Hughes was heading into the final year of his current contract, but Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Hughes and the team have agreed to a two-year extension. Per the report, the deal is worth up to $23 million with $19.5 million in guarantees.The Bills discussed trading Hughes to the Rams last season, but didn’t reach an agreement in terms and the Rams moved on to acquire Dante Fowler from the Jaguars instead. He wound up recording seven sacks and three forced fumbles while appearing in every game.Hughes has not missed a game since landing with the Bills in a 2013 trade with the Colts. He was viewed as something of a disappointment in Indy after recording five sacks in three years after being selected in the first round of the 2010 draft, but he’s been more productive in Buffalo and is on track to continue playing a key role on their defense into the next decade.
