I think similar to the Bills, Harbaugh’s offense for whatever reason doesn’t feature boundary WR’s. They like that possession sort of offense.

I have plenty of them but stupid Twitter X isn’t allowing them. Hes going to be the X. I still think the Bills will draft a WR

Yes Yes Yes!!! I thought there was a really good chance the Bills could get him. I’ve been pounding the table for him He gets big time separation m, he is a man to man beater. Im stoked about this one

It was due. RB’s were too undervalued. But this is ridiculous

Samaje Perine RB who had less than 100 yards rushing last year, 29 years old just got a $7M a year contract. Cook is salivating.

To put things into perspective he had 5 sacks last year, 11 solo tackles and 13 assisted tackles He has had 11.5 sacks in his career. His 2 sacks against the Chiefs were his only post season sacks. That man made a lot of money in that Super Bowl game. If it hadn’t been for that game he wouldn’t have cracked $13M AAV Sweat is about to have a massive overpay as well

Me too. I know that it wouldn’t be considered good “value”, but what is value? Value is measured against other mock drafts, we don’t know how other NFL decision makers feel about him. I think he’s going to produce

Massive overpay https://x.com/rapsheet/status/1899160829863571847?s=46&t=vPnoSawW13pZidGfyWKQRQ How many times have we seen this where a player plays great in the superbowl that parlays into a big time contract Milton to the Patriots for $26M a year

I will let you know in about a week

There goes my guy Booo

Recap so far

With Adebo going to the Giants my top FA want DJ Reed is more of a possibility. Giants were rumored to have an interest in DJ Reed

Sweat is going to get paid!

I can't load it any longer either but I believe it was a 1 year $13.6M deal or something like that. To the Buccaneers.

Hassan Reddick is out https://x.com/RapSheet/status/1899129451314843662

They will most likely convert his $16M base salary in 2027 to a bonus which would reduce the cap by another $12M

Would have liked to have seen the Benford deal come in before this, on the plus side Jaycee was more of a blue chip prospect coming in than Benford and he's actually made a pro bowl (not that it matters that much but it is something to point to). I'm still hoping that Benford comes in at around $21M, but this signing makes it a little more difficult. What is for sure is that the Bills cannot let him walk after this season, they need to find a way to get the deal done.

I think they will look to first go after a few options of upper tier difference making players and see if they can make it happen. If not, then they will most likely round out the team with quality need and value need players. At the end of the day, they have to draft well and hope that guys like Kincaid, Coleman, Bishop, Carter and Soloman take steps to improving in their second/third year. If those guys can all improve that would go a long way.

There is no solid objective argument that anyone can make that the majority of resources that should be allotted to improve the team should be on offense over defense. You are correct! And it's not as if the offense stagnates in the playoffs, they still keep up with right around their regular season pace of scoring points.

I'm not opposed to that, just that the pickings are slim.

I'm sure the Bills are kicking the tires on Reddick. There are some options out there, Khalil Mack, Joey Bosa, Za'Darius Smith (who had 9 sacks and very good pressure metrics), Chase Young, Reddick, Josh Sweat (someone is going to overpay bigly for him). There are other value potential guys available such as - Malcolm Koonce who missed basically all of last year, young guy who had 8 sacks in 2023. Maybe Azeez Olujari who is young and promising. They aren't splash signings but they are guys who could end up being decent. I know everyone wants blue chippers, we have to deal with reality here and look at what is available and make a play for the best players to fit all our needs, which from my perspective there are 5 big holes to fill Safety, CB, DT, DE and WR.

I would love to get an upper echelon player as well but they aren't easy to obtain. Hendrickson is one and Holland who is coming off a down year is another one. With that said, not sure if the Bengals will trade him to a team like the Bills who could end up facing each other. He's one of the premier pass rushers and even at age 30 he is going to have a strong market for his services. The Bills game against the Chiefs the past two years could have gone either way, they were right there so its not as if a major overhaul is needed. The talent they had the past couple years, just a couple better executed plays and the Bills are in the Super Bowl. While I'd like to get a game changer, the odds of landing one at this stage are pretty slim. I do think they Bills will make a serious attempt at Hendrickson and possibly Javon Holland. But the FA class looks weak this year which most likely means that there will be a higher overpay than normal for FA's in the first few days. I wouldn't be surprised that Sweat could end up getting a deal around $25M AAV or that Holland ends up getting $20M+ AAV. I do think the Bills could overpay if they truly believe that Holland would help the team a lot, which I think he could so it will be interesting to see what he ends up signing for. Personally, I'd love for the to go for DJ Reed, but I haven't heard any buzz for him at all and have been hearing he could go to the Giants. I think at WR the Bills will go for either Lockett or Palmer and then use one of their first 3 draft picks on a WR.

This doesn't include the Josh Allen deal which should provide significant savings, if it had been an extension then I think we could have said that it would have saved about $11M in cap savings but since its a brand new deal, not exactly sure since there is no reference point to compare to. This truly was something new and innovative. If I had to take a guess it would probably save somewhere between $8 - $20M in cap savings. I think we are probably somewhere around $15 - $25M under the cap. Other things they could do. Extend Cook: Would provide around $3.4m in cap savings Extend Benford: Would provide around $1.8M in cap savings Restructure Dion Dawkins: would provide around $9.8M in cap savings Cut Daquan Jones: Would provide about $1.8 in cap savings Restructure Ed Oliver: Would provide around $8.7M in cap savings Extend Conner McGovern: Would provide $4.2M in cap savings Cut Trubisky: Would provide $2.5M in cap savings Pay cut for Dawson Knox: Could be between $2-$3M in cap savings This is around another $30M on top of the approximately $20M they are under now. Not saying they will do all these things but these would be reasonable moves that I believe could fit in to their long term goals.

Ughh. Wanted DJ Jones. Still other good options but he was a high end one at a position of extreme need
