Logic

Nice clap emojis, I guess? By the way, who says the Bills even WENT AFTER the marquee guys? They've been saying all along that they were going to spend judiciously in free agency. Nothing about Beane's history or comments suggested he was going to go after the biggest fish in the pond. Am I just supposed to assume that because he didn't sign Le'Veon Bell or Landon Collins, that it means he tried to and they both said no? Talk about assumptions fueled by Napoleon complex. Sheesh.

Our two outside receivers are both 4.35 guys. I'm not saying they're world-beaters, nor do they need to be. It's a speedy WR corps for a big-armed QB. They also added an accomplished slot guy, which we all know is important in Daboll's offense. This WR corps is already quite improved from 2018, and that's what matters.

You're right. Only players whose names are on jersey are necessary to build a good team. What a silly comment.

Isn't it fun to be willfully obtuse?!

Foster and Brown taking the top off defenses, Jones and Beasley (and Duke Williams and McKenzie?) eating on underneath routes. Love it.

Foster and Brown on the outside running deep routes, opening up the underneath area for Zay Jones and Cole Beasley out of the slot. Add a big-bodied tight end to the mix and this offense is in business.

The most recent reporting suggests that it was Beane that walked away due to contract demands, but ok.

Agreed. Been saying since LAST season started that this was the model they would follow. Year 1, build a defense. Year 2, identify a QB Year 3, build around QB

I realize that not all of the Bills' signings have been marquee guys. Nevertheless, we're on day two of the tampering period and they've already signed quite a few helpful players. And none of them are super overpaid, either (at least not more than the usual free agency slight over-valuation). There aren't any deals in there that make your jaw drop. So enough with the "Wah, no one wants to come to Buffalo!" narrative. As always, money talks and B.S. walks.

Yeah, like others said: Once the REAL numbers come out, we see that it's a pretty good deal for the Bills. One year, then an easy out. If he balls out, you've got him on a fair deal for two more years. If he doesn't, he's a one-year rental while our drafted rookie TE and Jason Croom develop.

I hear ya. But Mike Zimmer is one of the best defensive minds in the business, and it seems unlikely to me that if Barr has untapped pass rushing potential, Zimmer failed to tap it. I guess time will tell.

Free agency is the land of the overpay. Witness the contracts given to Dwayne Allen and Nick Boyle. Furthermore, the cap goes up every year, and the "highest paid" players quickly fall down the list. Everyone made a big deal about Jimmy Garrapalo being the highest paid QB when he got his 49ers deal. Fast forward a season and he's now the 22nd highest paid QB in the NFL. This is how it works.

I hope it means we DO sign Tyrell. He'd instantly be the best WR on our roster.

Wait.... This NEW YORK JETS fan was articulate, optimistic, and complimentary of the Buffalo Bills. What the hell did I just watch?!

Gotta love signing the guy who snapped to and blocked for the league MVP. This signing will help Allen TREMENDOUSLY! Morse's uncommon athleticism and mobility mean scrambling Allen, Shady McCoy, and the screen game will all see bumps in productivity. I see Teller, Morse, and Long as the probable starting interior. The Bills like Ike Boettger and will also likely draft a guard. Ike, Long, Teller, and draftee will battle for the two starting guard spots. I think people sleep on Long a little bit. Had a down 2018 at center, but was a quality guard for the Redskins before that. He would definitely represent a substantial upgrade from a John Miller.

Oh FFS

Every year I forget how irritating Bills fans are during free agency. We're only a few hours into day one of the tampering period, but I've already been reminded many times over.

Bills needed to sign a veteran tight end regardless. Only Jason Croom on the roster, and he's more of a "move" tight end. Can't just draft two rookies and expect everything to be okay. TE is a position that often takes a season or two to acclimate to NFL. I still expect them to draft a rookie on day 2.

I hear ya, but slot WR is an important position in Daboll's offense and Humphries is an ascending player. I'm not gonna lose sleep over it, though.

Only started two games due to injury, to be fair.

Hmm.....I think I would have been okay with Bills paying him that. Oh well.

Yeah. Signing a top 5 all time running back still producing at a high level to a 1 year deal for peanuts. How dare they!

Sure LOOKS like he has some gas left in the tank. But let's all continue to kvetch about the Bills giving a tiny amount of money on a 1 year deal to a top 5 all time NFL rusher.
