What a tool.

Your comment seemed to attempt to be argumentative without any point.

Big target with good hands? Yea that is really a stretch comparing to Gronk. Good post!

You could be right. Not personal since I do not know Gilmore on a personal or any other level. Beane and McDermott have done a great job of building a group of players that puts team above self. In my very humble opinion, Gilmore does not appear to be that type of player. Also, his compensation would not fit under our cap. We need to get an upgrade from Wallace at a much lower compensation such as in the draft or a player on a "prove it" one year contract. If we want to keep Diggs for his next contract, we need to increase the number of contributing players on our roster with 4 or 5 year rookie contracts. That is just our current reality.

That is a great analysis of what it is to be a Bills fan. Thank you.

Agree with all your points. I just think with all the top level qbs we will be facing, 12 wins is a lot yo expect. The Jacksonville game should never have been even close. The Colts blow out loss was an embarrassment.

Fill them with air and send him on his way. See ya.

Don't like him. Don't want him. Not a process guy. He is a ME first, last, and always guy. Not good for our locker room. Fill the cornerback need through the draft. No thank you. No way. Hard pass.

Given the uneven play of the Bills in 2021 (see Steelers,Jaguars, Colts, and Patriots losses) I would be inclined to take the under. This is a very difficult schedule. The Bills will need to be at the top of their game every week to avoid disappointing losses. When you factor in key injuries, 12 wins seems overly optimistic.

Beasley is a warrior and fit the team well. I didn't care for his selfish attitude with regard to the Covid 19 vaccine, but that is a personal choice. i really appreciated how hard he played and he did help Josh develop. But it is time to move on and I wish him all the best.

The renovation of the existing stadium would have cost 1 billion dollars. Wrigley Field was last remodeled in 2014. Soldiers Field was remodeled in 2002 - 2003. The remodels have not lasted 30 years. I used to live in Chicago. Both have been remodeled several times. Would you spend 71% of the cost of a new care to repair an out of date car? Most likely not. That is what the report was presenting with the options. Also, keep in mind that the financial support for the new stadium is an investment by the state of New York. They will have been repaid their original investment by year 22 of the lease. by the end of the 30 year lease they will have made a profit on their investment. The $250 million from Erie county will not cause a raise in taxes. $75 million will be funded from the excess funds from the 2021 budget. The $125 million will be a loan. I assume they will be bonds. Not sure what your issue is. If you want to have an NFL team this is what needs to be done. If the State of New York and Erie County didn't step up, another city would have. Would you rather loose the Bills franchise or are you just having a bad day. Either way, smile, the Bills are here to stay for 2056 at least. You should be more worried whether we will still be wishing for our first Super Bowl win by the end of the new lease.

Great interviews! Thanks for posting.

To answer the original question on this thread, trust Beane. He has consistently demonstrated that he has a plan. There is a reason Beane is where he is and we are providing our expert guidence on Two Bills Drive

What amazes me is posters on this board continually underestimate Beane. He has been the best GM this franchise has had in almost 30 years. He continues to excel. Just chill folks. We are in good hands. Trust The Beane.

In fairness, Green Bay completed a major stadium a few years ago similar to what Kansas City did. Western New York had the same option, but the study determined that the renovation would add only 20 years to the life of Highmark stadium.

6 CB's and a punter.

Excellent analysis!

I wouldn't be surprised if the Bears structure the offer in a way that prevents the Bills from matching the offer. This has happened frequently in the past. I think Bates is gone.

We still have one 7th round pick so there is still hope.

Thank you for the link. So the Browns paid the $1m bonus but we are on thr hook for th e $6.1m. Reworking or extending Kernam will be needed. I still like this trade.

Haven't found details on the trade. How much of his salary is Cleveland covering?

Good point on Diggs and Keenum.

Case took the Vikings to the playoffs as their starter. He should be a quality backup.

Salary dump by Cleveland.

Not sure how we keep finding room under the cap, but go Beane, keep working your magic. Is Cleveland eating part of his salary?
