Logic

Christian Kirk is the John Brown of Curtis Samuels. He's already a Bill.

You couldn't eat more than 6, you nancy boy.

Seems as though any time a marquee player is available, the Bills are always mentioned as checking in on the situation. I can't remember the last high quality player that Beane didn't at least ASK about. Say what you want about him as a GM, but he always does his due diligence and always at least inquires as to price and specifics. Beane himself says it often: These talks happen all year long. Tons of them. Whether or not anything comes of it, GMs are always having these talks. It takes two to tango, of course, and as of now the Browns are not even listening to offers, something which may well not change until after June 1st... ...I'll say this, though: Brandon Beane this offseason is talking like a man who wants to make a splash. Over a period of time, you get pretty decent at reading between the lines with guys like Brandon Beane and Sean McDermott, and the language I'M seeing between the lines is the language of a man who's ready to deal premium assets for premium players if need be.

I'm guessing he still winds up back with the Bills, BUT... It also might just be Zach Davidson SZN 🚀

Neal seems to be a talented prospect, BUT... If the Bills re-sign James Cook, then between him and Ray Davis, I don't see the need to spend a 4th on a running back. Even IF Ty is not re-signed, then a late rounder or UDFA or post-draft veteran signee should be fine for RB3. It's a very deep running back class. That said, if for any reason the Bills feel like re-signing James Cook is NOT going to be the likely outcome (which I don't anticipate), then that changes things.

If anyone -- even one single person -- dislikes this move, they'd probably also complain about a free lunch. Locked up a productive homegrown receiver through his prime for under market value. What's not to like?

Forget Coleman's attitude. When taken in context and listened to, I'm not as concerned with the comments as some others seem to be. What pisses ME off is that McDermott is sitting here talking about the Bills wanting to be more fast and explosive downfield at wide receiver. Like...WHAT?! Xavier Worthy was the FASTEST PLAYER IN THE HISTORY OF THE COMBINE and was sitting there with the Bills on the clock. Beane galaxy brained it and traded down (with the Chiefs, no less) so that he could add...a high character rotational defensive tackle?! It just feels like such a Beane/McDermott move (and not in a good way). Veach/Reid are sitting here going "we've gotta trade up and get our QB an explosive WR", and Beane is sitting here going "meh. We can trade down and take lesser guy. Who needs speed when you can have jumping ability?". And even IF they didn't want Worthy for whatever reasons, there were other explosive guys like Troy Franklin and Devontez Walker available throughout the draft. It was a VERY deep receiver draft. They took exactly ONE receiver, and it was one who notably LACKED speed and explosiveness. So here we sit a year later, still needing speed/explosiveness downfield at wide receiver, except this year the draft isn't nearly as deep with it and the Bills have other needs. And the very fast and explosive receiver they passed on just put up 157 yards and 2 TDs (garbage time or not, facts are facts) in the Super Bowl. Infuriating.

A very fair point. My only counter would be that nothing in Beane's history tells me he's going to find an instant impact defender in round one. It has never happened. But you're right: it IS an exceptional defensive line class.

Me. This coaching staff has shown that they haven't been able to get immediate game changing impact from any edge defenders (or penetrating defensive tackles) they draft. Drafting at 30 makes instant impact even more unlikely. We already saw what the "draft and develop" route looks like: We did this with both Epenesa and Rousseau, and here we are after years five and four for those guys, still saying we need impact edge help. We also haven't seen game changing impact from ANY 1st or 2nd round defenders the Bills have drafted under Beane, period. Josh's prime is now. The "beat the Chiefs and win a couple Super Bowls" window is open NOW. Go get me an instant impact defender (and one legitimate outside receiver somehow), use remaining picks for defensive depth, and let the chips fall where they may.

Williams - Bernard - Milano Olufouoshio - Andreesen - draftee ...seems good to me. I'm out on Shaq Thompson unless its one of those 1 year super cheap vet specials that Beane likes to do.

Most of all, I will simply remember the way it FELT to be at the Ralph. There was something bittersweet/nostalgic/beautiful/indescribable about walking to that old stadium, under those big, old lights. The same stadium in which OJ ran wild in behind the Electric Company. The same stadium in which Kelly and Levy brought the Bills back to national prominence. The same building from all those old Bills highlights VHS tapes I wore out, with slow motion and John Fascenda's poetic narration making me fall in love with pro football and the Bills at a young age. The feeling of walking through the tailgates and parking lots on a sunny fall day, smelling those smells and hearing the "Hey-ay-ay-ay"s ring out and anticipating the game to come, and then standing in the stands for the national anthem -- a moment which has always put a lump in my throat and still does, even to this day -- and feeling the nerves right before kickoff. The feeling after a big win, or even after a crushing loss, as you walk back to the car amidst 70,000 friends and family (because if you're a Bills fan, that's what you are to me) and process what just happened. All of it will continue on, of course, in a new form, in the new stadium. It will be the same in some ways and different in others. New traditions will be born. Hopefully, we'll see more success, more wins, and some championship banners hung in this new stadium. Things change, and you either change with them or you get left behind. Of all the places on planet Earth, the Ralph will always have one of the fondest places in my heart. Every time I was there, the phrase "where else would you rather be, than right here, right now?" was always 100% accurate. I'll miss the place.

We're talking about the guy who said he would retire from football tomorrow if it meant guaranteeing the city of Buffalo a Lombardi trophy, right? The guy who said he wants it so, so badly for this city? The guy who said he has vividly imagined exactly the words he'd say while hoisting a Lombardi for the city of Buffalo? The Josh Allen whose Hollywood fiance has spoken about her deep love for the city of Buffalo and its people? We're talking about THAT Josh Allen?! I just want to make sure, because I genuinely don't know where some of the "Josh is gonna leave Buffalo!" talk on these forums come from. Nothing he has ever said or done gives me that impression. Anyway, I think he's gonna sign an extension this offseason that locks him up through his age 33 or 34 season, and all this talk will be moot.

This is an excerpt from a longer interview where she talks about Josh and the proposal. Would also like to point out that I like the color choice for her outfit. But... Had to share this 😂😂😂

I think this is a really valid question. The two biggest examples I'd point to that suggest there may be something to it are Tim Settle and Poona Ford. Both played CONSIDERABLY better for their post-Bills teams. Put simply (because I am no defensive line guru), I can't help but feel that our defensive line needs its Aaron Kromer.
