Almost as bad as when the O'Reilly factor listed Mark Foley as a Democrat. haha.

I think last weeks game showed us without a doubt that we have no depth at CB. Even if we do not look at Vincent, we need to look somewhere.
If Buffalo has to pay Vincent's salary, we might be able to get him very cheap for 1 year.

I'd take him over Doughty in a second, from what i saw of Doughty in preseason he looked like toast out there. But if Vincent got injured again, i'd cut him.

htownskinfan · 09-17-2006, 03:29 PM

doesnt sound like he's lost anything

Vincent, 35, was in his third season with the Bills. He had a career-high 102 tackles and four interceptions in 2005 - his 14th NFL season.

i think he's def worth a look when he gets healthy

with our secondary health issues he is definitly worth a look

charlielyons · 09-17-2006, 05:47 PM

i say go after him we have nothing to lose just for rest of the year

12thMan · 09-17-2006, 06:51 PM

I just can't see us signing Vincent....no way, no how.

charlielyons · 09-17-2006, 07:22 PM

i can, 1st we have snyder as a owner and we need a quick fix, he could really help

Pocket$ $traight · 10-12-2006, 10:02 PM

Vincent was released today. Can we talk about a guy who might actually help us instead of Lionel Friggin' Dalton or some jackass CB that no one has heard of?

I still say he ends up with Mean Green.

steveo395 · 10-13-2006, 05:13 PM

sign him to a one year deal for less than $1 million

if he gets hurt again, just cut him or put him on IR

we need to replace prioleau for this year...we have nothing to lose by signing him

I think it is an awesome idea and that is coming from someone who hates our penchant for big name, aged vet signings. He is smart enough to learn the D and still has some gas in the tank (judgeing from last years stats) and we did lose a safety for the year.

If we can get him without overpaying we should bring him in and give him a few weeks to learn the playbook which will allow us to get a look at Doughty and to see if the secondary improves with the return of Springs. If it does, at the worst we end up with a seasoned backup. Ask yourself what happens if we have an injury to another safety?

Getting back Shawn Springs is going to help the secondary. Signing Troy Vincent would be a big improvement also. As long as it doesn't put the Skins in salaray cap hell.
