Agree. Mike Green has 2 of these accusations against him as well.

Ko Simpson was worth millions. He at least deserves a mention.

Let me guess... he wants to play for a winner.

He took the arrows for Ralph's cheapness. Guy was just doing what was asked of him.

I mentioned this in another thread. Benford reminds me of the Bill's Kyle Williams situation. Buffalo fans can see how great of a player he is, but he flies under the radar for the rest of the NFL. As a result, we sign him to a bargain contract. The numbers show Benford is a top 10 CB. Also, Beane is terrific at signing our own to team friendly deals.

The Bills just have to do a better job of evaluating with their to picks. Ed Oliver is a good player. But if you just look at DTs, Christian Wilkins, Dexter Lawrence, and Jeffery Simmons were all picked after Oliver in the first round. Beane has been in position to pick some blue chippers. Overall, his drafting has been good. But we are missing more star power.

Dorian made a big jump in the mental part of the game this past season. He was playing smarter. His rookie season he looked like an unguided missile, flying around, but often out of position. I was impressed with his improvement, and hope to see him build off of that to get even better.

Outside of the top two guys, I really like Norman-Lott out of Tennessee.

Beane likes stocking up on OL and trading them for draft picks later.

Run game was better with him on the field.

That's a good point. I was starting to worry about Taron's health last season. He does a lot for the D (including being a small LBer at times) and was rarely coming off the field.

Are we sure? Washington might swoop in to re-sign him before it's official.

We checked, sir. They have no peepees.

The Steelers had a long history of excellent drafting with Kevin Colbert. This combined with a HOF quarterback kept the team in the thick of the hunt for a Lombardi. They no longer have Big Ben, or Colbert. Their past team building strategies are gone. Looks like they're trying to find a new path.

Milton Williams seems like the next pretty good player to turn a great superbowl performance into a huge contract. Like: Alvin Harper Larry Brown Dexter Jackson

If the FA says, "no," then the answer is no. But the thing is, they won't say, "no," because of the implication.

I remember JJ Watt wanting to "play for a winner," then signed a contract with Phoenix.

And good DT play. We need better in the middle of the line for Groot to shine. I'm hoping for big upgrades there. When I say, "big," I mean that literally.

So I guess we're not trading for DePaola. It's Beane even trying to win the superbowl? What are we doing here?

He could be our new Lorenzo Alexander. Kind of reminds me of that kind of player.

I don't know if I would call him a complete bust. But he's the worst kind of QB to have. Huge potential, but just can't put it all together. He's the kind of quarterback that keeps a team around 9 - 8. So he'll keep you from sinking, but he can't swim to safety.

Benford reminds me a bit of Kyle Williams in that we can see how good he is, but no one in league media seems to talk about him. Kyle was a stud and one of the best DTs in the league but he didn't get the press either. And he played at a great value for the Bills his whole career. I absolutely think Benford is an elite top 10 CB. He locks down good receivers. It will be interesting to see what kind of contract he gets.

Let's see what our new (very good) ST coordinator can get out of the new, young (very gifted) punter.

Brown has been living off the glory of 1 season from 4 years ago. I wasn't at all worried when KC signed him last year. He just hasn't been consistently productive.

Cooper in all liklihood.
