We also have 1 corner on our roster as well as many other major holes. Cordy staying put won't affect whether or not we will sign Cousins we have the money for both. With 3yrs remaining and 23mil left on his deal if healthy that's a steal for a LT in todays market.

If that's the case we did our job and let them severely overpay. If its the Jets or Browns this would be good for us because it opens the door for a trade up.

I'm thinking most teams will tap out at about 30per . If it gets to 35 of course he'll take it. But i think teams will have that line they don't want to cross so the major decision will be the fit for Cousins where does he feel he can succeed the most at.

I think we only save 4.5 mil by releasing Glenn i don't think that's enough savings consideration his replacement will cost at least that much 5mil per and that's for a 3rd teir tackle.

I think the money will be secondary when it comes to Cousins he knows he's gonna get the cash he wants. I think the fit is the most important thing here . If by some chance the deal gets passed 30mil per i wouldnt blame the Bills for backing out.

We should be in on this give them a 3 and 5 . Easier to trade for Cousins then to outright sign him via free agency.

The major difference is we don't have #12 to fill the holes . But i see what your saying. This is even more of a reason to sign Cousins because they're gonna want to build this team in there image via the draft. Can't do that when u give up multiple pks in 2018 -19

When is enough enough? We keep opening additional holes on this team its gonna eventually bit them in the rear. Btw speaking of olines Cousins played nearly a Quarter of the season missing 4 starters on his line . Anyone see the Seahawks gm he played great despite getting hit on nearly every play he showed his durability big time during that stretch of the season . Cousins would be a great addition to this team

What makes so sure Cordy is out. Why the hell would we open up another massive hole on our oline. U act like LTs grow on trees. The draft is not strong this yr at oline nor is free agency so where is these 3 players coming from. Also u keep bringing up the Seattle gm where Groy came in on a fly but i don't hear any other examples of him not playing well the rest of the season. Tyrod does allud pressure at time but u have to realize statistically he holds the ball longer then any other QB in the gm. Those 5 guys are giving him that time to hold the ball. With the addition of a QB like Cousins i think our line is definitely good enough to play on sundays and win consistently are they the best no. But they block great for the run gm in the right system they might be actually the best at that considering what they did in 2015-16. With that being said there's much worse olines all around the NFL

I thought its 4.9 mil. Savings if released.

If this regime decides to just cut Cordy Glenn then he better be seriously damaged goods . Because he has 3yrs and 23mil remaining on his deal . That's definitely cap friendly in this era even if your a RT that's solid . He can get healthy he's one of the better tackles in this league.

I don't agree nearly every line gets beat from time to time. We add a good QB that can actually get rid of the ball on time like Cousins and were bringing bk the power run scheme that this line thrived in that's gonna open up more play action passes. Our oline is far from horrible. Last yr i seen plenty of plays where Tyrod just sat bk there and didn't deliever the ball. I believe as is this line is adequate enough to get the job done. LT Cordy LG Incog C Groy RG Miller / Dukaka RT Dawkins

Peterman vs the Chargers they were smelling blood plus this could of been on Peterman more then anyone else . He probably didn't make the proper adjustments at the los. Plus your talking bout the Chargers here probably the best pass rushing tandem in the league and we were leaving our tackles in one on one situations . Which is a horrible decision to make vs that D especially since u have a rookie 5th rd pk making his debut.

Great Question for me the most is 30mil per . In 2016 when Wood went down . The averaged more yds per rush per gm with Groy in the lineup. If we were to sign Cousins we have a capable line moving forward especially if we move Dawkins to the RT. Remember fellas Tyrod holds the ball longer then any QB in the NFL. Our line is just fine we just need some depth.

U hit the nail on the head its gonna cost nearly the same or even more. The difference here with signing Kirk is u know what your getting with him and if u look at the teams in the playoffs this yr we've seen teams make it far with far less at QB. Bortles, Foles and Keenum are not on the same level as Kirk . If we signed Kirk and hit on our pks we become a deadly team to deal with in the near future. Plus we still have more cap space starting in 2019 to go after other top talent players to expedite the process and u know what some of those top teir players might be more willing to come to Buffalo when we have a franchise QB in place.

I was gonna post the same thing for the posters that believe Kirk won't entertain coming to Buffalo. Kirk is a Process type guy and he might fall in love with coach Mcd . I believe that will be what lands him in Buffalo if he chooses to sign with us.

No matter what QB cost money via free agency at the end of the day id rather spend 27mil on Cousins then 21 on Keenum. Btw i got that # from spotrac.

If they trade up to #3 or #4 , its gonna cost them 3 firsts , 21,22 and 1 in 2019 so with that how do we fill our needs then. Via free agency right. We are gonna spend the money anyways. In this case id rather spend it on the QB. QBs especially the good ones and there hardly available via free agency there usually great pkups even though u might be overspending some. There are far more big money signings that flat out bust at other positions. Look at Suh or Haynesworth, Mario etc, etc The price for them 3 firsts are low cost players that fit needs immediately. I'd rather have Cousins and my 5pks . Then Mayfield and some extremely overpaid free agents. We all know big name free agents don't come to Buffalo unless we are severely overpaying.

I am also to a certain extent. But i just can't see McBeane giving up the house for a unknown commodity. I think that's what they want to do build threw the draft. McBeane are not gonna be signing much big money free agents. In this case there signing 1 big guy that fills the biggest need on the team at QB . Plus he's a culture fit . They wont have a prb overspending on a QB then lets say other postions that usually don't end up panning out for teams.

I've taken some time recently to think bout what direction the Bills should take with the most important position in sports QB. I think the majority of fans have also we fall into basically 3 categories #1 Team Trade Up #2 Sign a Vet and draft QB to develop. #3 Sign Cousins and use our draft pks. I thought about these 3 plans and read about many opinions on this board . The best one i believe is #3 sign Captain Kirk. Signing Kirk makes sense on so many levels When building a team the most important factor is building threw the draft i can't see the Bills giving up nearly 2yrs of pks to bank on a QB developing or even worse not developing . McBeane want to build this team in there image and there not gonna do it via free agency . These guys want custom made culture guys that fit there systems and the best place to find them are in the draft. Cousins fits the Bill. This is where Cousins comes in . Captain Kirk is a process type guy. If the Bills were drafting a QB i believe Cousins would be the type of guy they draft. He has all the characteristics and intangibles there looking for as far as Durability, Leadership, Work ethic and being a God fearing man . Ntm he's ready made top 12 QB in the NFL averaging 4250 yds, 31 TDs and over 65% completions over his last 4 seasons. The arrow is pointing up with Cousins as he's just entering his prime at 29yrs old. Now i know people will say 27-30 mil per season that's alot of money and i agree it is but the Bills set themselves up for this type of cap hit . Going into 2019 we have nearly 90mil in cap space with no big dollars free agents on the horizon we should be able to absorb that cap hit easily. Ntm we should be able to land cheap talent and starters at the top of the draft. The Plan Well this is where the fun starts not only for McBeane but for us the fans. We get to use all our high pks 5 in top 95 to fill major holes on this team. This gives McBeane great flexibility during the draft to trade down and even collect more assets . Imagine what these 5pks can do for us moving forward these players will get some much needed experience as rookies in 2018 . With these pks and some savvy free agent additions the Bills will be able to again compete for the playoffs in 2018 hopefully get there and win a gm or 2. But the eye of the prize will definitely be on 2019 where we still will have great cap flexibility with a Franchise QB in place and a young nucleus of talent and another draft to really begin to build for the future yrs and make some noise while doing it. This is the Cousins plan and hopefully we get to see it happen.

Damn it man everyone in the world knows what a catch is except for the NFL. Hey Goodell just go watch some kids play some football at a park or something you will get it then.

How bout the career Wr turned QB coach Culley. I don't trust him to develop young QBs. He should be moved bk to Wrs.

#21 Tremaine Edmunds MLB #22 trade with Cleveland for #33, #35 #33 Harrison Phillips DT #35 Murice Hurst 3 Tech #53 Christian Kirk #56 Sony Michel 3rd rd #95 Dallas Goedart TE If we can have a draft like this it can be a game changer for the Bills. Get me a QB like Alex Smith or Cousins and let's go bk to the Playoffs and some noise while were there.

I can see us bypassing QB here because there won't be one that fits the value available Mason is not a 1st rd player more like a late 2 type prospect . With that being said Tremaine Edmunds is still available at 21 we should take him and not look back , he's a beast. At DT Via, Hurst, Harrison any one of them would be great here.

I wanted Mahomes last yr i loved him. I believe he will be great. Yes he hasn't done nothing yet . But in the finale he looked the part playing basically 3 quarters throwing for 284yds 22-35 and a pk , 8.1 for attempt. He also came in late and led a drive to win the gm after the Chiefs blew there lead. He did all this playing with the bkups vs the Broncos D on the road. Lost in the stats are some amazing plays he made with his arm. Yes he threw a ugly pk early in the gm but he bounced bk nicely and had a great gm. Mahomes is the real deal.
