Bills "fully expect" to sign Meachem in the next 24 hours
 
A league source tells WGR 550 Buffalo the Bills "fully expect" to sign free agents Mario Williams and Robert Meachem within the next 24 hours.


It appears 93-year-old owner Ralph Wilson has given 72-year-old GM Buddy Nix license to "go for it." The benefits of adding Williams are obvious, while signing Meachem would help solidify a receiver corps that struggled with injury and failed to establish a consistent No. 2 threat behind Stevie Johnson in 2011.

Good for the Bills. Meachem will definitely help them. I could care less about re-signing him.

Time to step up AA and Joe Morgan

I'm very curious to see how meachem does on another team. At times he looks like the first round no. 1 receiver he should/could be.
I've always liked him until right after he catches the ball... It's like his brain shuts off.
Good luck Robert.

Joe Morgan will be a badass with a full offseason of training with the team. That dude stepped in last preseason after the lockout and made freakin' waves on multiple occassions. Not to mention, Andy Tanner could be ready to make the jump. Also, think about this... Colston was a 7th round pick... Lance Moore was undrafted... who's to say that we don't find another guy in this draft class that can fill Meachem's shoes?!

Don't ever forget who helped you reach this plateau Meach!Best of luck And thanks for a few memories.

Good for him and the Bills, I'll much rather see him with them than with Tampa.

Would I rather catch a ball from Fitzpatrick or Brees. Let me think about that for a moment.

And this is why S.Payton said they'd went after Meachem.Supposedly it was what he was able to do after the catch.He made a few moves in his time with us.My favorite is when he STOLE the ball after it was intercepted!Classic

I'll remember This always:

As fans, this is probably what we are thinking, but as a player, Meachem may be saying, "Who is going to show me the money? The Bills or the Saints?

$$$ He also has a better chance taking his game to the next level there and being one of many of Brees' toys.

I hope he studs out. I never did like the criticisms posted by a select few.

He was a pretty good WR for us. Drew spreads it around too much for him to put up big numbers.

Saints Robert Meachem & Texans Mario Williams met with Bills today.

Meach it's cold in Buffalo, in not like Tenn or New Orleans Good luck if that's the way you want to go.

Pete 03-13-2012 09:12 PM

One thing's for sure,he won't be making "chump" change from here on out!Thanks for what you brought to the table MeachEm.He went about his business quietly like a pro.

Probably my favorite Saints/Football play of all time. Good luck if you do in fact go to cold A$$ Buffalo!

Good for ya man, Thanks for your time here as a Saint, and good luck to you.

True, they are very similar.

I think Meachem was a tad better WR, but Henderson a tad better blocker.

Hopefully Morgan keeps on shining like he did last pre-season.

I think Henderson may be better. Doesn't he usually start? :bng:
