Touché, that’s tomorrow

How did I know you were going to say that ?

If Knox develops they’ll be okay. If he doesn’t it’s a bad group as always

Kelly can’t pay for every meal...

On the eve of the legal tampering period I thought this would be a fun topic. We’ve been bantering for months as to what we wanted this offseason. The goal of this exercise is to add one player to the Bill. The catch is that you have to factor in the cap number. As an example I think all of us would prefer Amari Cooper to Taylor Gabriel. Would you prefer Cooper at $20M a year to Gabriel at $5M? The goal is to add one player or re-sign one player at a realistic number. If the Bills only issued 1 more contract this offseason what would you want it to be? That doesn’t necessarily mean that it has to be the biggest impact player either. It has to be the best “bang for the buck.” What’s the most impact that you can have for the least amount of $$? I will go first and say Robby Anderson at 4 years $45M with $22M guaranteed. Anderson is 26 and has the upside of a number 1 WR imo. He immediately makes the WR room better and more complete. At the same time he’s going to cost just over half of what Cooper does. You can still add a guy in the draft but the urgency to do so is less. I expect the Bills to add 1-2 guys in or above this price point. Anderson for me would be my target. Who is it for you?

The story as to what happened with them is pretty wild. It involves a HOF QB, a HOF WR, a former news woman, and the backseat of a car.

He’s a player that I always liked but he looks done to me

It might be. #ripmoranskid

I believe this one gets done. It feels too easy to connect the dots. It’s almost like how everyone knew we would draft Harrison Phillips at some point. Josh Norman was kind of the same way actually.

He’s not trading up for an edge in this draft (unless by some miracle Chase Young slides). There is no value there.

Personally, I have Ruggs as my number 2. He’s just so explosive but I’d be good with any of them. I would like to see them add someone to go with Barkley. Barkley and Josh have a great relationship and he’s relatively inexpensive. With that being said, if the Bills believe they are a contender, this is when you invest in backup QB. If Josh is to miss a month you have to be able to play .500 without him. I would look at someone like Keenum at the right price (or Brissett if he becomes available). The Saints were paying Teddy quite a bit to be the #2 last year because their window was open. Brees goes down and Teddy goes 5-0. That kept them from a wasted year. I don’t think that’s the case at all. As an example, Tampa at 14 is probably the earliest that you’d go to. You can get there for 22 and 54 according to the draft value chart. You’d basically be paying the premium of a 4th round pick.

Yeah, he’s connected. He has a podcast

Tough call but voted no because it doesn’t really have to do with crowds. Additionally, it gives the NFL the sporting landscape to itself.

I thought that it meant trading for a WR as well. It could be up for one of the top guys or trading for an established guy. I think that the Bills make 1 or 2 major moves. I’d consider either of those major moves.

Kind of but teams don’t do it that way and neither do agents. They try to use comps like buying a home. While technically, there is an average price to buy a home that’s not really a factor. The price is based on size, location, etc... The sellers want the biggest number possible (the players) and the buyers want the best value in terms of a number (the teams). The agents will argue for contracts more similar to players on the high range of the comparison. The teams are trying to use lower priced players with similar numbers as their comp. They negotiate until they come to a number that everyone agrees to.

There’s really no such thing as an average salary. It’s totally dependent on when you sign it. What looks like a lot now will look like value in 2022. The cap and salaries rise every year. Think that most on here expect Shaq to be somewhere between $8M-$12M a year.

Oh man that would be a great deal

I’m curious to see the structure of it. I’m guessing $10m-$12m guaranteed.

Yes he can

What a steal for the Bills

(Coach McDermott has entered the chat)

Remember this tweet, CLEARLY the Bills have an interest. You aren’t bringing your OL coach unless there was someone you wanted him to see up close.

I’m not opposed (at all) to going up or back. I’d only go up though for one of the top 3 receivers I think. Otherwise it will have to be someone on a crazy slide, Okudah at 14 or something like that. If you can get one of the elite talents at a need position without sacrificing too much. I’m good going back a few slots too in order to pick up a 3rd or even move up there. The Bills could do something like move from 22 to 26 and then up from 86 to 70. In this scenario they’d pick 26, 54 and 70. You could do something like Higgins/Jefferson, Swift/Taylor/Dobbins and Greenard/Anae.
