I guess that I’m a “hater” because I don’t think that you should pay role players top 10 AAV. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Lol, there are lots of steps between “everything the Bills do is right” and “everything the Bills do is wrong.” This isn’t a great deal IMO and potentially prevents them for going all in for Garrett. Garrett is a 1,000,000X better player than Rousseau.

So elite rosters with game managing QBs? That’s not this Bills team. It is Josh and a bunch of guys. That may work for the Eagles but not the Bills. They need to worry about a 4-6 game stretch.

I think Samuel was injury related. He got better as the year went along. Cooper was hurt as well. The offense got much better once they traded for him. The threat of Cooper kept teams from loading the box and jamming the middle of the field. Why the Bills entered the season with no one to play the boundary is beyond me. Mack Hollins being your only guy on the outside is crazy. I believe both Samuel, and Cooper should they bring him back, will be more productive this year than last year. Those people that thought Samuel was the Diggs replacement though were never going to be right. That’s not the style of play that he brings.

It should lower it by quite a bit.

They have starting openings. They NEED top 100 players. They don’t need guys; they need dudes. Everybody eats is fun and can make for a good team. You need stars to win championships. The Bills have 1 of the top 90 players in football right now. They need 4 when the season kicks off (Dawkins probably makes 2). The top of the roster needs to get better.

Samuel isn’t a boundary receiver. He never was. He’s a converted RB that is fast. His game is a lot like Shakir but with more speed and less power. He has a role but it isn’t as a X or Z. He’s a chess piece.

Fair

Okay, cool. I think Sweat is the better player. Paying Rousseau $20M AAV feels like a mistake. Time will tell…

Not a horrible deal but my least favorite of the 3. This feels like an overpayment but 🤷🏻‍♂️. If he becomes a 10-11 sack guy it’s okay. He doesn’t need to become Myles Garrett but he needs to becomes Josh Sweat. They still need 1 or 2 top 100ish players. The top of the roster needs to get better.

This would be perfect (sorry @GunnerBill). Tyrod and a developmental guy likely for the PS. I am okay with Trubisky too. I’m not okay with Mike White.

It’s also my birthday.

I think that this is a tick below market. Benford, is arguably, a top 5 corner. They’ll work on that and use the tag next year if need be.

Feels like a reasonable number as does Shakir’s deal. I’d do the exact same deal for Cook. Benford is going to cost more and I’d trade Rousseau.

They have no 3rd but have 2 seconds. They also will have 2 fours I think. The Bills have 10 draft picks right now I believe.

Most injuries aren’t season ending. Look at it through the lens of a month. If he went out for 4 weeks, you’d probably have to be 2-2 to still have a shot at the division. That’s how they should view it. If he’s back healthy by the playoffs, and you win the division, you’re in the same spot that you’ve been in for 5 years entering the postseason.

I always view backup QB as, “if Josh went out for a month, what would the record be?” As a rule, I think 2-2 needs to be the answer. If Mitch can do that, good by me. Kyle Allen wasn’t hat guy IMO.

Garrett AND DK was a bit of a pipe dream IMO. Is Hendrickson AND DK a possibility? A 1st for Hendrickson and a 2nd for DK a possibility, is that an option?

Good deal for the Texans. Dell out the year again and now they have him to play along Nico.

The beauty of the poll is that the Bills have a massive need for both. There are guys that can accomplish that out there. If you added, “1200 yard rusher with 15TDs” it wouldn’t get any votes. They pretty much have that. This team, as good as it is, has some massive holes. If you add either of those, it’s a giant step towards a Super Bowl.

Not shocking, a pretty good punter at a pretty high price. Draft a guy late and you may improve while saving money.

No one is trading a first for him. If it is a 2nd and you have to sign him, would you? It’s an easy yes for me.

How has Allen having to do it all by himself worked out? The thought would be, a player like DK would turbocharge Allen and shoulder some of that load. If the Bills are going to win it’s BECAUSE of Josh Allen. Giving him other dudes and not just guys would open the floodgates. That’s the thought. Everybody eats is fun and cute. It scored a lot of points. The offense really took a leap forward once Cooper came aboard. His stats aside, the offensive stats all took a massive jump. The threat on the boundary and down the field unlocked the running game and underneath passing game. DK would do that and then some. It’s a MASSIVE need. Significantly bigger need than 2nd corner or a run stuffer. I’d argue elite pass rusher is first but boundary WR is 1A. That price for DK is more than he’s worth. I’m still In the camp of exhaust all opportunities for Garrett. He’s still, by far, the best player “available.” If Cleveland holds firm, Metcalf should be prioritized over Holland or DJ Reed or whomever else is out there. Metcalf isn’t a perfect player but is a perfect fit for the Bills.

This team needs an infusion at the top of their roster. Garrett instantly becomes their 2nd best player and is a top 5 overall player in football (top 10 at least). DK is a top 5 player on this team and fills a massive need. He’s a top 75 player in the NFL IMO. These are the conversations that the Bills need to be involved with!! They have always done well building depth and the back of the roster. They don’t have enough dudes. These guys are dudes.
