Let's hope your correct

I don't like this signing , vet min would have been max amount. White was traded by LA because he could no longer cover and were bringing him on a high price tag to be a mentor. This is why we can't get over the hump, it's these types od signings by Beane.

Big mouth and overrated , used his mouth to get paid and never really showed to be a shut down corner. Like who wants that garbage contract?

I don't agree, unlike others. Josh Allen is one of most gifted QB'S ever to play the game, you don't improve arm strength. Allen's story is more about colleges ignoring his amazing arm talent.

You mean the same kicker that misses extra points , Bass needs to be replaced

Gilmore stop trying in his final year, went to New England and became a star.

He should just trade Cook, he is a good back but not a 3 down back and Beane need to get a 4th or maybe late 3rd for him and move on. This is pass first league and dumping 14-15 mllion into RB position is only going to leave us short in the receiver position

Beanne may have slightly overpaid on this contract and maybe could have been able to resign both with the same amount of cap space. Don't get me wrong I think Benford he a very solid corner, I just don't believe he is a lockdown elite level guy. The guy was drafted in the 6th round for a reason, average speed (4.56 forty)and his stats look good because of McDermott's soft zones which requires smarts and being able to read the QB. The fact is he struggles as does are whole pass defence when playing against speedy receivers. We cannot play much man to man press coverage because are corners would get torched I still think Benford would make an all pro level safety because of his smarts /tackling and maybe that happens at the back end of this contract should the Bills get better quality corners with speed. As for now, just watching the whole video after signing Benford seem like class guy with high character & I only hope that he can stay healthy and avoid any further concussions because if the concussions continue like he finished last year nothing will matter

100%, Cook is a good back but not a 3 down back. Bills need to invest more resources /capital into receiver position not rb. Trade for a 3rd or 4th and draft his replacement. Cook has one of the lowest usage rates in the NFL for starting fb's and he has to come off the field on 3rd down. He put up some good numbers but not elite and look what happened to his brother right after he got paid

Sound like this has been poorly managed or contractors overcharging, the Bills should be getting a done for the net final price

I get it, I just would like to see Beane have a year where he can add a difference maker or two through free agency

I think he has the tools but he needs to get stronger and be more consistent . The Chiefs had him on the ground most of the title game

Are you saying this year it creates 10 mllion

He was worth around 12-14 mllion tops

Beane again handing out overpays and we will forever be over the cap year after year. Team cannot get improve talent through free agency because Beeane never has money to spend and his drafting has not been great .

Beane blew last season and not trading up to get Bryan Thomas , 6"3 and 4.3 forty and already considered a top 8 receiver in the NFL. We could have easily move up past the Jags to get him.

Cap management by Beane needs to improve, I find amazing that this roster has so few all pro level players but always find themselves well over the cap. This is another reason why Beane needs to resist Cook's demands for 15 million. Another blunder is cap money he put into Dawson Knox and then drafts Dalton K

I question if Pegula has his own advisors to properly grade both McDermott and beanie or is everything ignored because Allen carries them to the playoffs on his own with very little support talent and a bunch of no name assistants.

No thanks, he is too slow. The Bills need better speed at the corner position

End of the day, Beane needs to start drafting larger players. This defence is full of players that are either smaller or slower and rely on turnovers to get off the field

The Bills' rushing success last season was a team effort. While Cook was a primary contributor, Josh Allen, Davis, and Johnson played significant roles. It's important to consider Cook's snap percentage when evaluating his contract. Since becoming the starter, he played 55% of offensive snaps in 2023 and only 48% in 2024. This 2024 figure ranked 38th among running backs, considerably lower than league leaders and other top performers. Among the highest-paid running backs in 2024, only David Montgomery had a lower snap percentage than Cook due to sharing the backfield with Jahmyr Gibbs. Beane faces tough decisions this offseason regarding contract extensions. Considering Cook's snap percentage and the contributions of other players, it's reasonable to argue that prioritizing Cook's extension over Christian Benford, Greg Rousseau, Terrel Bernard, and Khalil Shakir may not be the optimal strategy. For me priority should be Shakir/Benford if he is healthy, Bernard, Rousseau and lastly Cook. This is not because I don't like Cook, I think he is very talented. I just don't think he is someone we could not replace in this coming draft so we don't have to overpay him. I also strongly believe you need a top receiver and passing game to win come playoff time. Look at the Super Bowl, the Chiefs totally shut Barkley but could not shut down Eagles receivers. I love Collins and even Shakir, but the Bills and Beane need to get Allen a #1 receiver and a defence that can get more stops.

Just glad the Bills took the guy who showed the best at the combine. Still remember the guys at WGR55 crying that we took the wrong Josh. Only thing that has gone wrong is Beane never getting him a true #1 that could do everything . Diggs was good but did next to zero in the big playoff games This is passing league and team that pass first do well. Bills offseason should be about getting Allen a stud a WR

I like the add a defensive coach from outside but this will never happen because McDermott only want yes men and thinks he is a defensive genius. Yes Andy Reid fired him in Philly because he is useless when it comes to defensives or at least on how to stop playoff level teams. We have not had one play year where our defence has stopped the other team, 3 opening drive TD'S this year and if Mark Andrews does not drop an east pass maybe the Bills are not even in title game because our defence could not stop anyone . One thing that needs to happen, get rid of Hamlin, he is one of worse covering safeties ever. So tired of seeing these small and slow then everyone else players we always seem to have on this team Get some players who are bigger and faster

Hire a top notch coordinator, I'm done with promotion of no name in house guys. Like why are we not firing the whole defensive staff, yet McDermott promotes guys from a lousy defence When was the last time McDermott hired a big name coordinator from the outside. Everyone living off of Allen and we"re not fixing anything repeating the same thing every offseason and expecting a different result.

McDermott only keeps yes men around and because of that there is zero accountability . The fact is our defensive coordinator should be fired, our defence was as healthy as you could be and still was garbage in the playoffs. 3 straight opening TD drives, they are a mess who can't get to the QB and give up way too many first downs. Look at the Rams and Lions games McDermott is a good HC but the Bills will never win a title with him because he won't dare bring in a top notch defensive coordinator from the outside. He think he knows defence and has never focused solely on being a HC. When have we ever seem our defence cone in with a plan that totally confused the other team? Yet Beane keeps spending huge resources on our defence Hire a top notch coordinator from the outside and stop with these in house promotions to McDermott clones
