Andy Reid threatening to trade him to the jets, what a flex

Of course it has to be in our division FFS

NFC please

I remember hearing that about DW too. The issue with his contract was that it was OT money and not OG money. I suppose if he doesn’t find more OT money he could return on a cheap deal to compete at OG but I really feel like that spot is going to be a competition regardless of whether he, Bates or both return.

It makes sense when you look at the options - tender at the lowest, get him back at that amount tender at the lowest, risk someone offering between 2.4 and 3.9, you then match at less than the 2nd round tender that you would have paid anyway tender at the lowest, risk someone offering above 4 mill, ok they value him higher than we do, but we can pay him that if we choose tender at the lowest, someone offers a front loaded deal that pays like 10 mill over two years or something with 7 in first year - see ya - take his cap space and go sign will Hernandez who I think would be an upgrade

They actually signed Saffold to play LG and replace Feliciano/Boettger (big upgrade). Ford will be the default DW replacement at RG but that’s where the rookie will compete for a spot. Mancz is the depth signing. If Bates returns he will compete with Ford/Rookie (hopefully they draft one) at RG.

Free up the 2.43 or whatever he’s taking up now in cap space and draft a OG please

No - he was projected to possibly move inside to G in the nfl but he played LT in college and started here at LT as a rookie

He’s no Ryan Groy!

I think he’s saying that Bates would be an upgrade on the Bears over Daniels which is… a very hot take

Today?! jk

I think DJ sees so few “holes” that he thinks they could lob a late 1st on an upgrade at RB. I agree on CB … for the moment. Still over a month to go. I’m going WR round 2 or later. Way too deep of a draft at that position.

FredEx in his prime on this offense would be amazing

Ford was drafted to be a RT Yes he can. He can actually play any position on the OL which is why the Bills traded for him. Bates really is a great 3rd guard, or swing guard. He has good technique, but rarely pancakes defenders. The Bills really need a push on the offensive line to convert 3rd-and-short. That's why they got Rodger Saffold.

That’s exactly what Beane says about these guys. Go out and find the best deal you can. You’ve earned that right. If you don’t find something great you can come back at X amount.

He said that he can play either side but Beane indicated he will be next to Dion and he said he’s been told LG Why would they need to replace a backup level OG with a 1st rd pick. Mind you I don’t mind a G at 25 because the Bills have not invested at all at G in the draft except for late round picks. Late 1st is a great place to hopefully take a starting caliber G. But bates is not really a starter. He had to play like 2.5 games by default.

Butler now has more threads on here than plays he made as a Bill. Congrats big V.

Doesn’t need to be replaced in round 1. Bates was a UDFA. I think he could start in NE. Not sure about Chicago. Not sure about here (he would compete though for sure)
