Josh: Tommy... I've gotta run. That torch you handed me is starting to burn my jersey

I am fine with him staying, because we have tons of cap space and he does make some plays... He only has 1 more year after this anyway, so his contract is not a killer. Hughes also comes off the books in 2 years. When you look at how Beane has structured things, this team should be pretty flexible for quite a while. I am always for paying your own and keeping the close knit group together as much as possible. In terms of Shaq I am a bit less inclined to re-sign for top $$ IF we could get him at something like 3 years, $30 million I would consider it, especially since Murphy and Hughes come off the books soon anyway. However, I think someone will pay him more than that based on being part of this defense.

You could cut Kroft and Murphy, and tack on the same amount you're budgeting for Phillips this season and pay the man 16.7 million per year and break even cap-wise. 26 year old, 340 pound DT's who can rush the passer don't grow on trees! I could see 4 years, 60 million getting it done ($15/per). See below.... Phillips is not the type of guy who is going to stop playing when he gets paid... I can't see it I also think that a 340+ lb DT that can get 9-10 sacks lined up next to Harry and Oliver is a great thing to have, so I would 100% pay Phillips if it came down to picking one of the 2. It's easy to see where they could find the $: 1) Cut Kroft ($5 million) Kroft is getting $6/yr. Cutting him would save around $5 million next season on the cap (after the dead cap number) 2) Cut Murphy ($7.2 million) Murphy's cap hit is 8.9 million next year, with about 1.7 million on dead cap if he is cut) That's 12.2 million in space freed up right there. Phillips is getting 4.5 million this year already. 4.5+7.2+5= 16.7 Draft a DE to replace Murphy, who has not done much anyway. Kroft has been an almost total non-factor, and almost surely will be gone. Another realistic option might be to move on from Ty Nseke, which would save about $4 million on the cap after the dead money. Pat DiMarco is also getting 2.3 million and isn't really used. There are a lot of options to make a few cuts and not even dip into the projected cap space. In the end, the Bills have a ton of cap space, so they can pretty do much do whatever they want at this point and not get into trouble.

why create a hole at DT? Re-sign Phillips to a 4 year, $55 million deal with a bunch guaranteed. We've got the cap space and he is young and has really bought into the system here. Going forward you have Star, Oliver, Harry and Phillips at DT. That's a nice rotation. It's time to stack some talent. Why have a great 26 year old DT who is playing extremely well, let him walk, then spend a high draft pick to replace him? INSTEAD, keep that DT and then stack talent with that high round pick. We don't have the nutzo QB contract so take advantage of that!

Brady's elbow is about to blow like Big Ben's did This is why them not having a bye is huge! Brady is toast. 128 yards and barely 50% against the 1 win Bengals....

It's so strange to see WR that catch everything

Patriots fans are screaming like stuck pigs about how they are playing up the career TD passes race tonight for Brees but hardly mentioned Brady yesterday The next couple decades are going to be tough for them... Lol

I hope Brees breaks Manning's record tonight

Add offense via the draft Keep this defense together!

I think we can time it up... Right now there's 80+ million in space We have Hyde and White for 2 more seasons. When they are up Hughes and Murphy or even Star could be let go. I would rather keep Phillips than Dawkins if we need to invest big $$

Brady just drops to the ground if pressure is around him. Total self preservation mode Against good teams he is either going to keep doing that and NE gets steamrolled or he stands in there takes hits and doesn't make it through The guy is really banged up already

Pay him! He's worth every penny! We will have plenty of cap space

Sometimes life is simple: Always root for NE to lose.

Brady really is done this time The Bengals defense gave him problems.. that's the 31st ranked unit Barely 50% completions and 130 yards passing against a 1-12 team? Bailed out again by defense and special teams The Boogeymen want to tee of on your QB and catch wobbly ducks tossed right to them for pick 6s If you run the ball at them and play clean you can score on them

5th seed at a minimum clinched with 2 games to go! Not long ago we would be 7-7 right now and "in the hunt" needing to win out and get tons of help

NE is not good Brady is shot... Edelman is barely getting on the field...their OL sucks... They have no TEs Their whole team is special teams turnovers and defense If we take care of the ball and don't make the big mistakes we have an excellent shot Brady's elbow is about to blow like big Ben's Look at his stats today vs the 31 St ranked defense

I love this defense! Let's keep everyone together... We've got the cap space

Brady is already hurting as is Edelman Both are extremely banged up... Brady's elbow and Edelman shoulder and knee tendon Brady might not make it through the season if he has to go all 16 weeks Let's take advantage next week! If we beat them it means they probably lose a bye and need to also go 100% week 17 No rest and no time to heal... Google Edelman injury if you doubt me

Hey people can say whatever they want Wins are what matters

Lol I hear you but this is what it's like to play games that matter!

Are you out of your damn mind?! I want to smash Brady and cost them a bye

That was a lot of fun!

This is not good
