Diggs isn’t going anywhere, these articles are just click bait. He has massive cap hits this year and next. Bills would take a major step back if they traded him losing their best playmaker and chewing up over $40m in dead cap hits the next 2 years.

We can probably get Hopkins for less than Jeudy. So I’d do that.

I wouldn’t trade both, nor would we need to either, just to get Juedy. I wouldn’t rather trade much less and get Hopkins from AZ.

My prediction: Poyer becomes a Raider

Will be interesting to see what the market is for him, I would imagine it’s stronger than the Henry trade market. UPDATE: Ekeler now granted permission by Chargers to seek trade

Im really hoping for Al-Shaair from SF personally, someone who can do a lot of the things that Edmunds can but cheaper.

I doubt Downs would be the pick if the draft fell the way you had it go. I think it would be Campbell or Antonio personally over downs, or maybe even see us trade down.

What a quality and informative thread OP. *said no one ever*

I only wonder how much longer it’s going to take for the rest of TSW accepts that Bijan isn’t dropping to 27. He has a good chance to go inside the top 10, and I would be surprised if he made it past Philly at 10. So many other people around here still have this delusion there is a good chance that we get him at 27. Is it possible…sure anything is possible. But the odds of it happening are very low.

Yeah, while the Ramsey trade doesn’t scare me, there is no denying adding both Ramsey and Poyer would be a pretty tough secondary.

I didn’t love the size of the Von Miller deal, however, it made more sense. Bills were arguably a pass rush away from a SB, they signed him as a FA, and had Josh Allen to bank on. Miami was not a CB away from a SB, have a cap mess coming as soon as next year, and are banking on Tua, a QB who can’t stay healthy and whose injuries are getting worse. Tua ended his 2022 season on a 4 game losing streak before he got hurt and his mistakes were a big part of those losses. Josh Allen ended his 2021 season setting all kinds of NFL post season records in maybe the best 2 game stretch for a QB in NFL history, but losing to a defensive 13 second blunder and a coin flip. The two are the same in theory, but I think you can see that one does not equal the other.

Tell me you didn’t watch him play without telling me you didn’t watch him play. Not saying we should sign him, that depends on his price tag. But your assessment is way off base. Never heard someone call a 1000+ yard rusher, who only started half the games last year, just a TD machine before.

Jalen Ramsey wouldn't even call last year “the best year of his career”. I mean how you can even say that with a straight face is baffling, especially given you didn’t even watch his games to make such a statement. You are like those people who tell someone that a place they are about to go on vacation to sucks, even though you’ve never been.

Says the guy who didn't watch any of his games 😂. The only accurate thing in your post is his age. But wow, calling last year the best year of Ramsey's career is about the wildest thing I have seen all offseason.

No disrespect at all, but you just glossed over the fact that he started 8-0, but then went 0-4 after that and after teams starting to figure out how to defend McDaniels offense and Tua better. And Tua was a major contributor to those losses with poor decisions and turnovers, where his weak arm began hurting him. Bills started off red hot too last year before teams figured out how to disrupt our offense as well. And Miami's 24th ranked defense wasn't one CB away from being a top 5 D or anything. They had several issues on defense. I don't understand this next part, I am one of the few people here not looking at this as Black or White. I am looking at his with rational eyes, and I have already said several times that Miami improved their defensive backfield today. But while that may be true, it is not to the degree of the over exaggeration going on in this thread. For the record, I don't find anything you have said as to be part of that over exaggeration crowd, I am more referencing my previous posts. Nothing about this moves makes me feel it moves Miami ahead of KC, Cincy, or the Bills. And if the Jets get Rodgers, I would still have more confidence in the Jets this year than Miami. And the big reason is Tua. All the other top teams have Mahomes, Allen, Burrow, Rodgers...Miami has Tua, a guy who can't stay healthy, ended his season heavily contributing to 4 straight losses, and whose injuries are getting more severe. So end of the day, even if Ramsey has a rebirth in Miami and plays more like his old self, it doesn't move the needle much if they can't stabilize the QB position in a loaded AFC Conference. It also doesn't change the near term ramifications of this move if it doesn't result in a SB title this year or next. They have a very top heavy cap situation with several guys aging or not living up to their contract size already. And that is before they either pay Tua or some other QB to replace him. And as far as Fangio goes, he appears to be an upgrade at DC for him, but he is being a bit over exaggerated around here too IMHO. Miami was already a tough foe, and will continue to be one this year. But I am much more concerned about Jets getting Rodgers than I am Miami over paying Ramsey.

LB Al-Shaair from SF. He is a great replacement option IMHO for Edmunds at what is expected to be a much lower cost than what Edmunds will get. I also think a RB like Jamaal Williams or D'Onte Foreman would be good additions and compliments to Cook. Signing either of them could potentially give us an Ingram/Kamara type tandem here this year.

Did I say his play the year before wasn't any good? I said I have watched every game he has been a Ram for the most part, and that he TODAY is not still elite. His play has diminished. And since win does a TEAM winning a SB mean a single player must be elite anyway? That is the most ridiculous logic I have seen. I already said he doesn't suck, but no offense, how can someone like yourself who has not watched him play actually give any kind of an informed opinion here? Why because you have heard of him? I will rely on actually watching him play over your google searches of other peoples opinions who mostly didn't watch all his games either. Roger Saffold was voted to the Pro Bowl this year...shows the value that a name carries amongst people who didn't actually watch him play. So maybe google less, and watch more.

How he stacks to a Bill is irrelevant. And I watch the games, not google unreliable rankings from sites like PFF. He is not still elite and I would have been sick to my stomach if we paid him that much money and gave up assets to get him.

I don't see their string of decisions as excellent as you. And what you are missing is the cap hell that is right around the corner for Miami, and that is BEFORE they have to pay a QB in either Tua or someone else. I see a team leveraging their future and having to depend on Tua, who not only has not finished a season yet, but whose injuries are getting more severe. The concussions he got last year are no small matter. There is a reason Miami has consistently looked to improve upon Tua every year he has been there. And Miami was on a 4 game losing streak with Tua that almost made them miss the playoffs last year before he got hurt again. Miami has a lot invested in aging players or guys who are over paid going into next year. This trade for Ramsey is a win this year move, the negative domino affect of their recent moves the last couple years starts compounding literally next year. And it won't get better soon for them, so they will start losing players. And if they are not a SB team now, then that won't get any easier for them when they start having to make cuts elsewhere because of how top heavy their cap is which will include several guys not living up to the prices they are being paid. So if Miami has leveraged themselves to win a SB this year or maybe next before they will be facing decisions that starts likely setting the team back some, not forward. It may work, but nothing about Miami last year screamed they were an over rated defensive back away from the SB. MOST teams who leverage their future in all in moves like the Rams did end up never getting there and having to rebuild shortly after with no championship to show for us. Rams were the outlier, and honestly, maybe more lucky than anything as I don't think they were the best team in the NFL that year. IMHO, it is a terrible model to follow unless you really are just like one player away. No one in the AFC is one player away because the AFC is too good to be reduced to that.

Well you are not very good at assessing players then, because Ramsey is not an elite player anymore. He definitely doesn't suck, but his on field play is not at the level he just got paid for. I live in LA and pretty much watched every Rams game he played, and I can say with extreme confidence he is not "elite" anymore.

LMAO if you think Ramsey is the missing piece to make 2 SB's and win one. You clearly havent watched Ramsey play the last 2 years. Rams also had Stafford...Miami has an undersized QB with below average arm strength that has yet to play a full season and now has a pattern of severe concussion issues who the team can't even commit to. LOL at this comparison.

Not surprised by the usual doom and gloom suspects over reacting and over dramatizing this trade...but lets strip all that away and try and take a more RATIONAL look at this trade: Miami improved today in their secondary. But not as much as the classic doom and gloom posters around here are over exaggerating. I have watched pretty much every game Ramsey has played here in LA, and he is not as consistent as he once was, and his past reputation exceeds his play on the field. And at what cost? Miami over paid, and their cap hits next year are severe with guys approaching the later years of their careers or guys who are not delivering the value of what they are being paid. IMHO, Miami could have saved their assets and signed someone cheaper in FA who could have delivered a similar value on the field as Ramsey. They way over paid here between contract and cost to acquire. Miami still has a major question mark at QB...not a little one, a major one. Not only has Tua not played a full season yet, the reasons he is missing games are getting more severe. Getting 2 concussions in a season is bad enough, getting 2 to the degree he did is another level of concern. And he plays a position where recurring concussions have a higher frequency, especially on someone of his smaller stature. And it is not just about him surviving this season, its his ability to survive moving forward because Miami is going to have to pay him soon and that is going to cost Miami players because their cap is going to be a mess when they extend him. Miami was losing WITH Tua last year. Yes he had a hot start, but he cooled off and teams started to figure out how to defend them better and Tua's weak arm started show up and his mistakes cost the teams games that almost made them miss the playoffs. So even if healthy, he has to prove he can be the guy. This was a Rams like move, where they risk future set backs to try and go all in now. Difference is, Rams had a QB that was more reliable and proven to do that with and were a lot closer to representing the NFC in the SB. Miami has to get past the murderers row in the AFC of Mahomes, Allen, Burrow, and probably Rodgers now too. Not to mention you still have a rising team in Jax now adding Calvin Ridley to the offense, and Herbert and maybe even Denver if Peyton can turn the Wilson situation around (which I am personally skeptical of). Bottom line is, path in the AFC is a lot tougher than what Rams were facing where they were "going all in". And I have a hard time seeing Ramsey of today as the missing piece to getting past all those teams. Bottom line: I don't fear the Ramsey trade much at all, in fact, ARod to the Jets is going to be a more serious threat. Miami wasn't a CB away from winning the SB last year, but the Jets were a QB away from being very dangerous last year. Not to mention, they get Breece Hall back this year too.

You guys are clearly completely out of touch with this team and this board. There would be an absolute melt down if we spent that much money on Jalen, not to mention the draft pick, and rightfully so because it would have been a terrible move by the Bills if we did this. I live in LA, I can tell you with 100% certainty you two are living off a name and NOT commenting based on his actual on field play. Having watched almost every Ram game since he became a Ram, I can tell you that while Ramsey is not a bum, he certainly has not played to the level of his reputation. Second, if the Bills were paying top money to TWO CB's in Tre and Ramsey it would set this team back big time. Nobody here would be happy about a trade with a big 2 year commitment money wise to a DB who isn't even going to return the value he is being paid, let alone having that much money invested just into our 2 CB's in Tre and Jalen. So sorry, these posts above are way off base. As for Miami...Did the Dolphins get better today in their secondary, sure, I don't think there is no denying that, but its also not to the degree the constant doom and gloom crowd around here like @Einstein wants to portray. And at what cost? Next year, they have a massive amount of money invested into guys who are older or not performing to the level of their contracts, and that is before they have to pay Tua or spend money on a QB upgrade if Tua can't lock the job down. This is a win it all move right now, and if they don't it will set them back quite a bit. And sorry, adding Ramsey to the Dolphins does not feel like the missing piece to get past the rest of the AFC that consists of Bills, KC, Cincy, and maybe even Jets if they land Rodgers.

Lol at you keep trying to change the comparison to an irrelevant one to further your Edmunds negative bias.

And that literally has nothing to do with the question here. Spiller was not a multiple time pro bowler who led his team at his position for 5 years. He had one big year, so he hadn’t proven he could do it again. Meanwhile, Edmunds is among the leaders in tackles across the whole NFL over his time in the NFL, just like Fletcher was. Sorry but this comparison was a fail.
