Bleeding Bills Blue

Could be a starting CB, RG, WR 3/4, RB 1B. Who knows.

My only issue with big leg punters is they tend to be negated somewhat in buffalo. It's a windy stadium, and especially windy when you punt it high - you tend to want to punt directionally. I know buffalo likes to punt directionally towards sidelines to limit returns and its just generally harder to field a punt when its not right to you. Haack sucked though - too many touchbacks, too many shanks and terrible punts. He could be comfortably in the bottom half of the league and im fine with it, but he was one of if not the worst punter in the NFL last year.

He was on the practice squad on a team with 4 QBs - and webb ran the scout team for the defense. How much practice do you think he got? Missing training camp for a QB is like a death sentence too. How is he supposed to have any feel for the offense? And I still think he sucks.

Why? Check the snap counts - they're about the same.

Hughes - 19 Hurries and 26 pressures on the statistically best defense in football Lawson - 9 Hurries and 13 pressures on the statistically worst defense in football

Its not as if they have an auction and every team offers you a deal though. You might only get 1 or 2. Guaranteed money is usually a big factor too. I could shatter my knee and never play again - what's the minimum i'll get if that happens? Why should i take a team discount to possibly suffer serious life changing injuries when the league and team don't have my best interests at heart?

No state income tax in Nevada as well.

I pick Chiefs and Chargers as the playoff teams. The other teams have new HC's in a really tough division. Chiefs schedule is the worst by far though. Chiefs uncommon opponents - Bucs, Bills, Bengals - woof... Chargers uncommon opponents - Atlanta, Cleveland, Miami Denver uncommon opponents - Carolina, NYJ, Baltimore LV uncommon opponents - Saints, Patriots, Steelers

Sucks- but this is what you get with a "legal tampering period". Even after its announced you can just change your mind because you can't actually sign a contract for 2 days.

Only thing id mention is - he did get picked up off waivers and had like a week and a half before he was playing. Midseason thats like 4 practices and 2 walk throughs. After being the covid QB for 2 years. Not exactly set up for success. It was also with kitchens calling plays from a garrett playbook. I'm not saying he's tom brady, just saying even brady would probably have struggled with that situation.

Lol... Pick 65!!!

I think its addressed in the draft - possibly the first round.

I mean... Buffalo traded Bodine for a pick, and that guy sucked! anything can happen!

Bease is a 6M cap hit this year for acquiring team - but zay jones just got 3/24. Acquiring team can push it to 2 years with a void and lessen the cap burden. WRs are making a lot of money. I doubt we can get much of anything for him but its worth trying. If you cut him he's left with what he gets on FA market which will likely be less than 6M on a 1yr deal.

Just means they added 3.4M of dead cap to 2024 and he's for most likely here through 2023.

CMC has been more injured. But Barkley played really terribly for the last year and change.

He had a rough end to his time in buffalo. Signed and started - then tore his pec in 2020 and came back likely not as strong as before. Then last year i dunno if it was covid or what but he looked horribly out of shape.

I could see them drafting someone but i doubt we're in on free agent linebackers. Ours make too much money as it is.

Part of the issue with Lamar last year is he was just playing really badly. He still had 4 4th quarter comebacks, and GWDs. And if you look outside just... TDs and INTs - he had a better Y/A, AY/A and ANY/A. LJ had higher air yards in every category too. Huntley offered similar value as a rusher but less as a passer, jackson broke 11 tackles to huntleys 3 - and had considerably more yards after contact. Jackson also put up a 37/43 442 and 4 TD performance last season against Indy.

Thought he'd be a candidate for OC (him or pat shurmur) if buffalo didn't keep dorsey. He had that one magical run with Cam, and other than that he's been pretty mediocre. Barkley and daniel jones both had their best years with him at OC, but that was under shurmur. I think he's a good person to have in the room, but i don't think he's earned the keys to the cadillac.

I think Pederson will be a massive upgrade over what they've had. He's always seemed to do a good job balancing out what an offense is trying to do. Adding linemen will help them run the ball more effectively, they get etienne back from last year as well. Kirk, Jones, Shenault - not a particularly scary unit in any case. I'd expect them to use 33 on a WR - especially if a good one falls. They need a TE as well depending on the rest of FA shaking out.

True - those 3rd deals are always risky if you put any term on there.

The Neil O'donnell to their Kordell Stewart?

29 coming off a year where he had a back injury the whole year... He's not likely to see mega deals.

https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/isaiah-mckenzie-21914/ 1yr deal. You would save 625k by releasing him during camp this year, which you would then lose by bringing a contract into the 53. Year 2 is very reasonable though, with a dead cap of only like 700K if they were to cut him after camp etc. He's in the mix for slot, gadget, etc. snaps. Looks like they just need 1 guy for the top 4 role most likely.
