Bleeding Bills Blue

Just worry about the fit, or a John Elway/Eli Manning type of situation. It IS buffalo after all.

if 1-2 need QBs i don't want to move up. I'd rather have the 7 players from the first 3 rounds. There will be other QBs in here that have just as good a chance as them to be good. I personally don't want Darnold or Rosen - for the simple fact that I don't think they're a fit for Buffalo. Los Angeles and Buffalo couldn't be more different.

I'm not giving up tons of picks just to get there though.... There will be other Qbs on the rise this year who might also be good.

Where would you rank sammy as a wide receiver league wide - right now? Not based on potential.

if we draft all 6 players, all 6 will have a combined salary less than watkins. They come with 4-5 years of control, and are much cheaper. You can't just keep extending everyone. New england dumped Logan Mankins, Jamie Collins, and Chandler jones for picks. You don't have to rely on a comp pick formula if you trade players before they walk.

Pretty much how i feel. He has the POTENTIAL to be a top 10 receiver. He does not deserve to be given that label.

always another year

He's in a good situation though where he won't be rushed onto the field. The only concern is that Reid runs a west coast offense, so timing and precision are largely more important than chucking it down the field. Bad footwork tends to sail throws causing turnovers and preventing YAC.

Matthews is a UFA.

Can always cut him and bring him back after week 1 too. I seriously doubt people will be lining up for him anyway. Same with Ryan Davis.

3 years 18 million with no dead cap if he's traded. We on the other hand would have a higher cap hit at around 7.8 million for 2017. Doesn't make sense unless there's a really high pick involved.

I'm sure he has his reasons. Pretty good chunk of change he's walking away from. They clearly felt better about trading Sammy once they brought him in. Now it gets interesting!

If we can't keep preston it makes sense to have a guy with a year in the system. he's affordable and already under contract.

It's guaranteed for injury only. It wouldn't need to be that much. I'm taking on cap space/cash for a pick. All we pay is his base salary of like 3 million, and keep him on the 53 and never activate him.

It's injury-only though. Hence he wears sweatpants the whole year.

I'd do the 2nd in a heartbeat. 3.2 million and he never sees the field even in practice. Opt out of the 5th year.

Agreed - you can't UN-pick up his 5th year option. He's at that RG3 unplayable level now.

Namely a tackle, maybe a WR,

Good post. Agree with pretty much everything. Gotta get the plays in quicker so TT can use motion to help recognize coverage, make protection adjustments, etc. He just can't be late on the delivery. Bad decisions in pre-season aren't the end of the world, but you'd like to see him moving the sticks some. He got rattled and it showed. From a penalty perspective, there will always be more in preseason. Roster bubble guys will make mistakes trying to make plays and stuff. But I hate holding on offense, and I hate illegal shift/motion penalties. These shouldn't happen. We're seeing holding on returns before the guy even catches the ball!

You don't have to cut them right away. In order to qualify for the comp equation, a player must have been a true Unrestricted Free Agent whose contract had expired or was voided after the previous season (i.e., he cannot have been released by his old team); he must sign during the UFA signing period (which ended July 27 last year); if he signs after June 1[*], he must have been tendered a June 1 qualifying offer by his old team; his compensatory value or contract value must be above a specific minimum amount; and he cannot have been permanently released by his new team before a certain point in the season (which seems to be after Week 10) or, possibly, before getting a certain amount of playing time, unless he was claimed off waivers by another team.

I mean... there's a lot of stuff you haven't seen. Practice, film study, weight room, just general team leadership and locker room. It's preseason... Agreed - at that point Tyrod will have lost the team. Then you got 53 guys playing for their jobs.

Gotta earn it.

Has really good hands. That's value. He's quick off the line and has seen enough NFL defenses to understand coverages and quickly locate a soft spot.

It's a game that doesn't matter.... need to slow your role.

If we start off like 0-4, 0-6 or something, go for it. Or even if its a 2-3 situation and Tyrod's playing like crap. You can have the hook ready, but you have to be able to truly justify it.
