Buffalo just landed their CLOSER! Much needed!

JOEY BOSA...HOT DAMN!

Why not him also...just don't let him play on ST!

OMG is all I can say to this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...in a good way...good stuff. Now hopefully this new trainer can find a way to keep him healthy!

SWEET! Great to hear for the best 3rd down back in the NFL

Micah Parsons and Trey Hendrickson are both talking to their agents now...

40 mill per...yikes

Russini reported that the Seahawks were seeking a first- and a third-round pick in exchange for Metcalf, an admittedly high price to pay for an aging wideout. For reference, that’s roughly what the Eagles gave up for A.J. Brown in 2022. Metcalf is also reportedly seeking a contract extension worth around $30 million per season.

This guy was good on a trash defense...imagine!

Nice, atta boy Beane!

Opposing teams thought Kincade was going to be a big part of the 2024 Buffalo passing offense and they worked to take him out of games. Everyone thought that Kincade was going to be a main target for Joah Allen in his second season. Torn PCL in week ten came when chasing down an inaccurate throw. With Kincade only 69% of targets overall thrown to tight ends with over 200 targets were catchable. Then when Kincade was targeted 10 or more yards down the field only 37% of the targets were catchable. Can Dalton Kincaid Become the Buffalo Bills and Josh Allen’s Key Offensive Weapon? - YouTube

This! If Beane finds a way to fill all the defensive needs and get Metcalf, I'm in! Still, to me, the defense has to be the priority this offseason. I dun wanna see DK in a Chiefs uni either though.

Well said. What some Bills fans fail to realize is that Brian Daboll is now the failing HC of the NY Giants. Joe Brady is currently the Buffalo Bills OC and he runs a more balanced offensive game plan. In some games, the Bills run far more than they pass the ball for a reason as that particular team might be more susceptible to the run. The Seahawks game last year, 34 passes, 34 runs. The Arizona game had 33 runs, 24 passes. Against the 49ers in the snow, 38 runs, 18 passes!!!!! Least we forget that the QB of this team just won MVP with the current WR corps. "Everybody Eats" worked! What they also fail to realize is this team is damn close and has been the last few years. Its like lady luck has taken a crap on Buffalo in the Chiefs games in losing both games by 3 points. One a missed FG and the next a dropped pass. This team isn't one overpriced WR away from a Super Bowl. However, they are a few players away on defense. A DT, A CB, A pass rusher or two. a Safety.

Ahhh, least we forget the 13 seconds that Frazier went into a "prevent defense" that prevented Buffalo from winning that game. Such Imfamy! Greatest game ever, 36-42.

This! The Bills had the #1 defense in 2021 with Poyer, Hyde, and Tre White, even with Levi Wallace. Hyde and Poyer both had 5 INTs on the year. Pass rush was ok with Mario Addison leading the team with 7 sacks. That secondary was very good. Huge drop off when Rapp and Benford were both out. Add to that little or no pass rush and you have a really bad defense. The 2025 Bills need to improve their secondary and pass rush, and with both improved, you have a more balanced unit.

Yes, it's that cap hit I was referring to. Seems like it hamstrung Beane from resigning some and adding some free agents last year. I suppose Beane could give up 60+ million to sign both Metcalf and Garrett. However, how does that help sign Cooper along with the many free agents on the Bills roster? 100 million in the hole?

Welp, if this is true, what stopped them last year from going hog wild? They let Leonard Floyd walk, Jordan Poyer, Siran Neil, Tre White, Mitch Morse, Gabe Davis, Stephon Diggs, and ate 30 million in cap space for that last one. Also Michah Hyde, Poona Ford? They stop somewhere for some reason, while taking measured steps to bring in certain players. I think they are willing to only go so far with the cap, and from what I gather, they push cap money down the road by spending cash on players today. I just don't see a Miles Garrett or a DK Metcalf in a Buffalo Bills uni, as I think Beane learned a lesson from Diggs. However, I do see a Kahlil Mack perhaps. Besides, Metcalf has the physical traits of a guy like Megatron and yet a second round pick and not a Megatron. Anyway, if the Bills add a big cap splash I'mma hope it's for the defense / pass rusher. Mile Garrett is a generational player like Bruce Smith was and would be worth the cap hit IMHO. At one time Denver offered two firsts for Bruce.

This! I hate to burst everyone's bubble but this team simply doesn't have the resources to go big splash all over the place. Some are talking about both Garrett and DK Metcalf...not just about them with only about 30 million to work with... Buffalo needs safety help, CB help, DL help, edge rusher help, along with a deep threat might be a go to on the cheap. My thoughts are to sign the current roster players and perhaps add someone like Kahlil Mack. Use that cap space to sign some good DBs too. Go all in on the defensive side in the draft.

More perspective...the Current state of the Buffalo Bills cap is in negative 10 million or so. Now, they can make some magic moves in restructuring and get that amount to around 30+ million without too much trouble. DK is currently at 28.5 mill per... So does Buffalo forget about any other free agents in signing DK? Forget about Amari Cooper at 12-15 mill, who will probably take a reduced number to stay in Buffalo? As will Von Miller I'd think. My thoughts, pay some of the players already with the team and go after some defensive help/talent, DL, Edge, S, CB.

To put things in perspective here, the OP wants this team to spend nearly 30 million per on a limited WR in DK. What's more is... he is thinking of adding to that another 30 million on another WR in DeVante Adams. If this team is going to spend 30 mill on a player this offseason, trade, FA, whatever. My hope is it's a PASS RUSHER or two! In the past, I've been in the get Josh some help boat, O line, WR, TE. Now I think those areas might need some tweaking, but should be ok with everyone back. My thoughts are that the 2024 Buffalo Bills would have run roughshod over the Eagles and thus mostly negating their pass rush. They would have become so focused on stopping Cook & Co that Josh would have been fine. I would be fine going all in for the defensive side this offseason, as I'm just so dismayed about the defensive injuries at the end of the season, the last few years.

The last two playoff losses were both lost by 3 points each, one by a missed FG, one by a dropped pass. The biggest reason for those two losses in my view was because the defense was decimated in 2023, and starting a linebacker who was off the street while going on vacation two weeks prior. In 2024, Taylor Rapp was injured and replaced by a rookie, and the starting CB went out with a concussion while Mahomes picked on Elam the rest of the game. It wouldn't have looked so bad if the Bills had any semblance of a pass rush. Like I've stated previously, Mahomes had all day to throw while the Chiefs scored more points against that Buffalo defense than they had against any other team all season long. If the Bills don't fix their defense, it won't matter a darn, who the receivers are.... like the saying goes... "defense wins Championships", and the Eagles just proved that point in the SB! The Bucs proved it too in 2020 in the SB against the very best team in the NFL the last six seasons.

In my view it wasn't the offense that let the team down as the defense allowed the Chiefs more points than they scored all...season...long!!!!! That is even against the 32nd ranked defense of the Carolina Panthers. Did you not watch the Super Bowl and say Man, I wish the Buffalo defense was that good? That Eagles defense gave Patrick Mahomes fits all game long and they did basically the same thing to the Washington Commanders the game previous. Seven sacks on Rams QB Matthew Stafford...you know, the guy who had all day to throw against Buffalo while scoring 44 points. The Bills had ZERO sacks on Stafford!!!!!!!!!!! What do you guys want to see? The 2025 Buffalo Bills scoring 40 points a game? They cry like little kids when the Buffalo defense gives up 50!~ The Buffalo offense has changed from a dominant pass-first attack under Brian Daaboll to more of a balanced pass/run attack that scored more points in franchise history and got the QB an MVP trophy! Dude, go back and rewatch the games to see which side of the ball the Bills were weakest with, and the biggest reason as to why the defense was in any game was because of an unsustainable turnover ratio. The 2025 offense should be better as those WRs will get more time in the Buffalo offense while getting healthy from those injuries. Man, I just don't get why so many Buffalo fans don't see how bad that 2024 Buffalo defense was 11th in points allowed, 17th in yards allowed and on the pass defense 24th in yards allowed, 24th in TDs allowed...pretty stinky for a McDermott defense. The 2022 Buffalo Bills were 7th in yards allowed, and 2nd in TDs allowed. And yes, injuries really hurt the defense at the end of the season, the last two years. At least they had a better pass rush in 2022 though.

Good to read! I'm still hoping the Bills go big time for the defense this entire offseason!! After all, Josh won MVP with a supposed bunch of nobodies and a guy named Shakir.

Speaking of Diggs, getting that malcontent primadonna off the team was the right thing to do...even though his 30+ million dollar cap hit is probably what kept the Bills from resigning Leonard Floyd or better pass rushers. Which also probably cost the team a Lombardi in 2024. The guy was angry at someone, everyone in Buffalo for his own decline.

I still don't get this obsession with improving the offense with an expensive WR OR TWO. Brian Daboll is now in NYC, and Joe Brady is the new OC as the offense has morphed into a much more balanced offense that has improved the offense and turnovers by the offense immensely. The 2024 Buffalo Bills offense was the most productive scoring offense in franchise history and second in the entire NFL in scoring points. DK Metcalf is making 24k a season and Adams is currently making 28.25 a season. Adding an elite WR wouldn't have been more beneficial to the 2024 Bills as those elite WRs want all the passes to themselves. Not in the "everybody eats" philosophy at all. However, adding a star edge rusher / DT would have been the game changer (or both) this team needed to shut down opposing QBs. In so many games last season, opposing QBs had outstanding games against the Bills defense because the Buffalo defense simply...could..not...stop them. Lamar had a great game, Tua had a great game, Stafford had a career game, Goff had a career game and even the Patriots rookie had a decent game against that Bills defense. If it weren't for that unreal Buffalo league leading +24 turnover ratio, the Bills defense would have looked far worse. That KC Chiefs offense scored more points against the Buffalo Bills in that AFC Championship game than they had all season long, even against teams like the crappy 5-12 Panthers who had the 32nd ranked defense last year.
