I would be in on this.

Friendly reminder that the contract numbers reported today are essentially meaningless. Lindstrom is not actually going to be paid $105 million. There's the agent number, and then there's the actual cost to the team.

If he has the exact same role as last year, $3.5 million is way too expensive. If they plan on actually using him on the offense I'm good with it.

So, you just haven't paid attention to anything this offseason? Everyone on here wants the team to invest more in offense. If Beane traded a 3rd rounder for a CB making close to $20 million a year this board would be apoplectic. You're just making up crap because you like to think you're more level headed than other Bills fans. You're the same as a homer, it's just that your extreme opinions go in the opposite direction.

Wrong. They're not even favored over the Jets. https://www.oddschecker.com/us/football/nfl/afc-east/winner Only on here do people think that adding a pretty good CB rockets a team past the only team in the division with a clear franchise QB. The Bills have some work to do to catch up to the Chiefs and Bengals. Not the Dolphins. When they have their QB situation figured out they can join the conversation.

When that starter has consistently had major injury issues in college and the NFL, to the point that their future playing the sport was in doubt, it is very much a relevant question. One that the Dolphins are seemingly hand waving away based on their aggressiveness in the trade market over the past two years.

What's that about what-ifs?

He should focus on finishing a season first.

The Dolphins are trying to go all in on a championship before knowing if they have a franchise QB. It's like when we traded up for Sammy Watkins or traded for LeSean McCoy. Fun splash moves but they lead to the same result. I don't really care about this move one way or the other as it relates to the Bills. If we fail to win the division this year it won't be because Miami traded for Jalen Ramsey. It will be because our front office and/or coaching staff failed.

The Bills will be all in every year from now until the end of Allen's career. As they should be. The common thinking that teams occasionally need to have 1-2 year rebuild periods was killed when the Chiefs won the Super Bowl this year. All in teams can still make radical changes to their roster and scheme on a year to year basis.

This is an intriguing idea. I hadn't considered Milano as a MLB. If other changes are made to compensate for his size, I could see this working.

This makes me think with even more certainty that Edmunds is gone. Those two years at the end are where Edmunds' biggest cap hits would have gone if we extended him. No way we are going to be paying over $30 million per year total for our off the ball LBs in 2025.

It should probably be brought up more that the Pegulas are the main reason the Bills went from laughingstock to contender. Moves like this can only happen because they give Beane essentially a blank check to use up front cash to push cap spending into the future. For this reason we will never be in serious cap trouble until the day Josh Allen retires at which point we'll take a couple years getting things under control and then be right back in it. Having cash-rich owners is a cheat code.

Well... that's definitely not going to happen. Maybe once he realizes a one year prove it deal with a contender is his best avenue for a future long term contract, we'll be back in the conversation.

I like him as a complement to Cook. The one thing I'll say is he played behind a really good OL so it's hard to tell if he's responsible for the short yardage TDs, or the OL is. But he runs downhill and can play three downs.

Anything. Show me the money doesn't always literally mean "show me the money." He could be talking about a girl he's trying to hook up with. Young people post random crap on social media everyday. I don't even know what about his contract he could be upset about? It's a 5th year option, it can't be touched.

Edge rusher is always a need for every team. It's the 2nd most important position behind QB. You could get a $20 million or more AAV player cost controlled for 5 years. Despite Bills fans only wanting offense in the 1st round, an edge rusher is always a good pick IF they turn into a very good player. And it is very much a possibility for us this year. The mock drafters who "don't do their homework" are the ones who exclusively mock the most obvious needs to every team in the 1st round. That isn't how GMs operate. Beane has taken high upside players with elite physical traits at premium positions every single 1st round he's been in charge. That's likely to continue this year. He isn't going to reach for a WR just because the fans think that's the most immediate need.

What year is it?

I don't know what you consider to be a sleeper, but I've seem very little discussion of RB Jamaal Williams from Detroit. He's a downhill TD machine. Perfect complement to James Cook. His projected market value is around $4m AAV. I would take that deal and cut Hines.

The alternative is get someone like Hopkins or Mike Evans (if available). 3 WR sets with Davis and Hopkins/Evans on the outside, Diggs in the slot. Or Diggs on the outside, Shakir in the slot. I don't need whatever upgraded WR we add this year to have slot versatility. Just be better than Davis and figure it out from there. Adding someone at the level of Hopkins or Evans is the only thing needed to get the passing offense back to 2020 levels IMO, as long as there is at least a capable replacement for Saffold.

My guess is his post had nothing to do with his contract at all and he only deleted it because his agent told him how it looks. Athletes have a life outside of football.

Could be Jalin Hyatt, Zay Flowers, Tyler Scott?

If they like a LT prospect at #27, Dawkins isn't a reason to pass on him. You get the best starting 5 on the field, if that means Dawkins is the LG so be it.
