LA, that’s why I voted to let him go. In two years they never have used him to his strengths so why bother keeping him? This is a year picking at 30 where Harris makes sense. It’s not like we are going to get a top flight Edge Rusher at that spot. Yolo, thanks for doing this series. It’s actually enjoyable to talk about in the off season. I hope you consider making this a yearly thing in Februaries, as the free agent talk will heats up especially in March, we’ll see lots of releases, then it’s all draft, all the time in April. Then we just suffer with baseball until it starts again. Sorry for you guys who like MLB, but for me the only thing worse than baseball is soccer. Sorry GB and Aussie. No futbol for me.

Why doesn’t the GMFB audience realize he’s trying to hold on for one more year as he’s aware no one is going to pick him up. He’s been over the hill for a couple of years.

Saint, I just mean it’s easier fir revisionist history to look back 10 years and the author of the article stating I would’ve picked this guy or that guy. Well, he has the luxury of how they performed in the NFL for anywhere of 10 or less years. That’s the easy part. There is no doubt our previous GM’s were not good at all prior to Beane. I hope that clarifies. It’s kind of a big so what as I can look back year by year, see who worked out on ours or another team, or drafted better than us.

I read the first comment, and then looked up. Oh it’s just Augie. You had me for a second. Carry on mate.

You just did. I’m just kidding Iron. The real question is did you actually listen to that music decades ago? I thought it was cool the second 300 movie had it as their song. Probably. Thats why I’m not expecting any of the guys I mentioned. It would be great but not feasible.

Sound points. I agree the top guys, ie. Barrett would be worth it. That is a Diggs move I could get incredible excited about just like McD and Frazier. How Cooke would it be to have that talent in a team that just went 13-3? He could be here for the next 6+ years wreaking havoc on opposing offenses. As an aside, I know Hughes is getting older, but as the #2 guy who isn’t missing games and hasn’t in all he does dropped off ostensibly would benefit. I don’t see him here in two years either.

Roy, I was thinking the same thing, wait for fit, wait for it. BIG BANG reference. What is he supposed to say? He knows he needs to get the FA and Draft done, see what shakes out, see the cap, get UDFA’s done as this is playoff time now. It’s one of the many reasons you see a lot of these contracts get hammered out in the summer. IDK if he gets extended now or later nor does anyone else. He’s inevitable. (a little Thanos reference there). They also have at least one network new contract of the many that may happen in the next four months. More info. Allows them to plan.

weo, I love those two guys too, but I don’t see us finding $19 mil. Which is what it would most likely cost for these guys. Ngokue too. Von is coming from persons not paying attention. It’s already been said on injuries, getting older and under police investigations. That’s along the line of a snowball in ... I seriously doubt GB as they are already -$4.5 mil, have a boat load of URFA’s and just don’t see it. So is Pitt. If a team friendly deal to get OT a winner, I stand that Cleveland is probably the front runner. He gets to play opposite Garrett. No more double teams on him for a team that is closing in on probably competing with Baltimore for the North. Pittsburgh has an old QB, three, I repeat three starting O Lineman gone, and several other expensive players to figure out including Watt’s brother in TJ. We have a chance if he wants to be with us for say $12-13 mil. but we’ll find out how much does he really want a championship vs. a payday, but on a good team. Our offense is far superior to the Browns, not in the run, but the more important aspect, the pass. That’s not changing. Watt could be the savior with the most rabid fan base in the country as edge rusher is what we need. If we had him at the right price, along with Hughes probably showing improvement over an already very good season and a secondary that could lock people down. Don't forget with Star back, Oliver and Edmunds immediately should look better. We’ll see if he really wants to be a champion, or on a very good team that might get farther in the playoffs.

Well lets consult Robs buddy and see if he had an M stool this week. Rob did he say it was anything like this? Just kidding Rid man.

It’s so easy to do the hindsight, vs, actually doing the job of these GM’s. There is no doubt before Beane, the only GM we had worth his salt was Butler and before him Polian. I know Butler placed us in a cap problem, but he assembled a heckova defense primarily from FA and trades. I read it, but these writers get to look how smart they are as they have the results to critticize the guys who actually had to make the pics. Thanks OP for sharing as not toward you. It’s just an easy to write as you have the luxury of knowing what happens for the last 10 years.

Nice Lombardi imitation. You have to insert the NYC in him. “What’s goin Arond hera? Nice laugh and stupid take from the writer. This goes back, “hey should trade for Montana, Rodgers, Reggie White, Aaron Donald, and on and on and on”. Not bangin on the OP, but the author of the article. I’m dumber for reading it as the famous Sandler movie clip.

It’s basically one of three things, restructure, reduce, or release. Restructuring doesn’t necessarily mean they lose $, it’s just converted to bonus so you kick the cap $ down the road if he doesn’t live out the contract. Reduce is not common, but in this year, there may be some guys if at 30 or above may be willing to take a small haircut to have two more years with a team we hope going to the SB. No one is going to take a massive haircut. Release, we’ll, that’s going to happen, and again the over 30 crowd, you have to look at what has and will be their production in the next two years. I think it’s premature as Thurm said there are so many variables, and ABC’s the next one up for contract renewal. Then the others follow son thereafter. The guess by some say as much as 100% increase. I don’t see that and some that I respect speculate in 2022-24 there could be a 50-75% increase, or maybe more if they not only go from 17-3 regular to pre-season games, amd an extra wildcard game, to the ultimate prize for the teams and players to 18-1, and two byes. The pie keeps getting bigger, they probably will increase starting roles to 55-57, amd I bet they maintain the 16 PS. Now this is just me piecing together a bunch of different analysts, but that means nothing. All of it could be wrong, so I’m not citing one particular I know the answer source, as that’s just not possible.

Thanks Mark. Can you keep us in the loop maybe once a week or so. You know he has a lot of fans here and he’ll be recovering for sometime.

Miyagi-San, always good to hear the wisdom from the ultimate Sen Sai. We were excellent pass pro, went 13-3, amend couldn’t agree more we lacked in rush offense. That doesn’t mean you throw out everyone, but to Lime, I agree Kroger was a very good influence on this line. There’s nothing wrong with floating that thought at all. Ford was pretty good as a first step Guard, and someone mentioned the other day Morse is meant more of a pulling Center, vs. a mauler. Maybe Kroger could help. Extending Williams would really help. Keep Boettger for depth, and let Winters walk.

Thanks Lime. When I first scanned, I was surprised, but I was thinking about dad Dante, who retired from NE, but was commonly known as one of the best O Line coaches in football for 25-30 years. Not sure with Salah, but he is an up and comer and looks like he could be a very good HC. The proof with Salah will start this year as he is changing the D to a 4-3 like SF, has lots of cap space on a great year to have it and nice draft pick slots. They have six in the top 4 rounds with two #1’s, 1 2nd, 3 3rds, and a 4th, plus 3 more. Salah and Douglas will prove this year if they are solid hires. Last year Miami had 11 picks, and spent $235.8 in FA. They went from 5-11, to 10-6. That’s a nice improvement. They now have $30.8 mil., and another 10 picks. That should help them if they have a good Mgmt team and Coaching for the Jests to maybe start turning things around, but that’s a big maybe. Same for Miami. I’m really not worried about BFLO retaking the East, but maybe these other guys get to 7-9 for the Jets, and maybe another 10-6 for the Fins. Not rooting for them but realistic. Let’s see what good decisions our guys make.

Like a good neighbor, a really good neighbor...

I don’t know as the opt outs are coming back so we’ll see how many on defense that took the biggest will help. They have a line, and RB’s, but need a QB, and targets (WR/TE). They have so much $, I can see them spending there. It’s not beyond to even consider a trade in the division with Darnold, but more likely they bring in Fitzy as a stop gap. The Jets will mop up in FA, so it’s possible they go after Milano. Both these comments does not mean I think they are both going to be good, but probably improved if the Pats find a QB. I’m not that worried as we’ll just have a little more competition this year. I can see another 5-1 divisional record as we might lose 1.

I wasn’t, but then I don’t read people. I’m sure a lot of guys may have wanted to know.

He most likely didn’t sign a futures contract as he probably thought he would shop his skills for more $ somewhere else, but the Bills can readdress once FA gets going. It makes sense. I’d love to take credit, but that was speculation from Sal C., and made sense to me.

Some of my friends laugh as well as coworkers as I don’t even do Facebook. It’s not important to me, and no one has a vision into anything stupid I would write. I opened an act. Only to order my bike in SPIN classes years ago as that was the only way, but it’s completely blank. I’ve always thought, I’ll call, text, or email you. I guess the only thing is LinkedIn for me, only for professional reasons. Think about it, if you were famous for whatever reason, social media can only hurt you. You’re real friends aren’t going to share you’re texts, or emails. You mean the one with you and the midget. Don’t worry, I won’t tell.

Happy to hear. He still needs prayers. Just to make sure a healthy recovery with no complications. To you guys that knows the daughters, please let them know all TSW is thinking of him and for many praying for him. 🙏

VF, bud, you’re hearts in the right place, but jettisoning 4 DT’s, and you’re best but aging DE is not the solution, especially Star as it has been said hundreds of times Hughes is our most productive DE, Star is the requirement for our defense in a space eating DT. McD’s defenses have been historically depending on that one. I’m sure you’ve read and heard the implications to Oliver and Edmunds missing Star hurt our defense. I’ll grant you Butler especially, Jefferson, Addison, and Murphy are all an option, but you have to replace. We only have 8 picks. As far as extending Josh, the new contract doesn’t affect anything until 2022, and you’ve heard from a ton of resources the tv contracts should blow up the cap in 22. If we do the 5th year option, Allen’s number only goes up. You can structure a deal between the base, bonus, etc. to make his 2022 team friendly, and backload. As Pat Kirwan always says so I don’t steal his line, Restructure, Reduce, or Release.

I said Cleveland. Why? He would play opposite Myles Garrett, they have $, they have talent, they won a playoff game, and could make their defense punishing even if he doesn’t get 16 sacks. GB, PITT, and some others are pipe dreams. They don’t have the $. Buffalo is a good choice for him, but we are tight on the cap and we need to extend people. You can only restructure, reduce, or remove so many. Id say no on Tampa, because if you were them, they already have Suh and JPP getting older on that line, so why wouldn’t they invest in extending Barrett who is much younger and a destructive force. Light is not dumb. They also have a bunch of others as URFA’s. If they cut anyone or not extend, it’s going to be the guys over 30.

Always knew you were a closet backstreet boy. Next thing i know you’ll be taking sexy back. Seriously, a lot of conjecture as to him being gay, and who freakin cares? He didn’t play up to his draft status, and now he’s an idiot for making a social media statement. I wouldn’t take him if he’s available not because of above issues, just dumb to make this statement publicly. You’re just waiting for the next dumb statement. Remember when Chad Johnson went to the Pats, and he tried to even make a positive statement on the Pats. He was gone pretty soon afterwards. Like him or hate him, BB doesn’t want his players in social media. He can’t stop them, but he doesn’t have to play them. I learned a long time ago, working on the business side of medicine, never write anything at all you can’t defend in court. I used to tell my reps, if you’re upset as some doctors can be a pain at times, don’t text me, don’t email me, call me and we can talk about it. Sometimes people want to vent and I’m fine with it. Then they calm down, and you let cooler heads prevail. This generation has forgotten what our parents banged into our heads when we were young. Once you write it, it’s permanent.

Well if the past predicts the future, he very well may trade up, but not necessarily do it in the first. It could be going from a low 2nd to a high 2nd. I don’t have it, but someone posts every year the trade value Jimmy Johnson or others assess to value of a pick. I don’t care to see it now, but after free agency calms down, on can make an intelligent argument for going from one spot to another.
