Good luck EJ. Good guy. Not so good NFL QB.

Stuck? TT was brought in to manage a run oriented offense. This is not an offense built to win shootouts. The defense is the reason we missed the playoffs in 2016. And TT is so bad and yet Watkins had a breakout year in 2015 when he was healthy more often than not. 47 TDs, 15 turnovers, and over 1000 yards rushing with a 15-14 record. So terrible. SMH Go down to the corner store and grab us a HOF or elite QB on your next trip there.

A wideout that isn't anyones household name, and yet he had four TDs for his limited time here. terrible, just terrible. SMH. How did Watkins have a breakout year in 2015 when he was healthy? And yet the offense was still top ten in scoring.

Your welcome. That's why I posted it.

Boldin.

Then no one can post any news from any site, be it newspaper or otherwise. What is the point of any message board then if you cannot share Bills articles? Credit the site and author and that is stealing? But if I posted bits of it that would have been fine. Just noticed that some of the threads I see say per this person, but no links to anything. Couldn't do that on the BBMB. Need proof. Sorry Simon, you're wrong.

So according to you, the posters here can never post articles or news on anything. It has to be only the OP's opinion. Sounds pretty boring to me. In other words, don't look for any news in here, which defeats one of the purposes of a message board. Very true.

So your not allowed to post articles on here-it has to be only opinion? good to know....and who cares about BR?And that other thread the OP was looking for answers and I posted an actual article with them even though you say we can't post article, just our own opinion.

Glad you made it in here Indy!

Between players they signed, players they released, and Tyrod Taylor’s contract restructure, the needle has moved all over the place but keeps settling around the $20 million mark. Setting the tableA week ago, Buffalo had roughly $18.2 million in cap space according to Spotrac. That included Tyrod Taylor’s option being picked up along with a $15.9 million cap hit. While Buffalo only had 45 players under contract, and they could restructure contracts for Cordy Glenn and Marcell Dareus to get enough cap space to fill the roster with quality players if they wished. Cap space: $18.2 million March 6 releasesBuffalo’s purge on Monday, releasing five players in a mixture of performance and salary cap moves, netted them about $6 million in cap space by releasing kicker Dan Carpenter ($2.4 million), cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman ($1.65 million), long snapper Garrison Sanborn ($950,000), tight end Gerald Christian ($540,000), and safety Phillip Thomas($540,000). Updated cap space: $24.2 million Restricted Free Agent tendersBuffalo felt strongly enough about running back Mike Gillislee (link) and offensive lineman Ryan Groy (link) to give them restricted free agent tenders. Both received the original round tender, which means if another team signs them away, Buffalo would receive draft pick compensation equal to the round in which the player was originally drafted and it gives the Bills the right to match the offer. Both of the tenders are worth $1.79 million. Buffalo chose not to tender defensive end IK Enemkpali and punter Colton Schmidt, their other two potential restricted free agents. Updated cap space: $20.6 million Tyrod Taylor restructures contractThe Bills are keeping Tyrod Taylor but instead of his $15.9 million cap hit in 2017, it dropped to roughly $9.7 million. Buffalo is kicking the Tyrod Taylor contract down the road with a big jump coming in 2018 and potentially bigger one in 2019 if he plays well. Still, they saved $6.2 million in 2017. Updated cap space: $26.8 million Bills release more guysOn Wednesday and Thursday, Buffalo continued to re-shape their roster by releasing WR/ST Marcus Easley and S Aaron Williams. Easley’s release saves Buffalo $1 million in cap space. Williams was designated a post-June 1 release (though there was some initial confusion on this), which means Buffalo gets no immediate cap relief until June 1. On that date, they will add $4.2 million in salary cap space. You have to feel for both, who weren’t able to contribute due to horrific injuries. On Friday, safety Corey Graham was added to the list adding an additional $4 million in cap space. Updated cap space: $31.8 million plus $4.2 million in June Bills add free agentsBuffalo didn’t just add cap space this week, though. They spent a lot of it. Not on guys like Robert Woods or Stephon Gilmore, who departed for rich contracts elsewhere. Here are the guys they signed and their 2017 cap hits based on what we know. P Colton Schmidt (projected $690,000 cap hit) FB Patrick DiMarco ($1.8 million cap hit) FB Mike Tolbert ($1 million cap hit) OL Vlad Dicasse (projected $900,000 cap hit) K Steve Hasuchka (projected $2.5 million cap hit) S Micah Hyde ($4 million cap hit) DB Jordan Poyer (projected $1 million cap hit) LB Lorenzo Alexander (projected $2.5 million cap hit) OT Jordan Mills (projected $1.75 million cap hit) Projected free agent spending: $16.2 million Updated projected cap space: $15.6 million plus $4.2 million in June Looking aheadBuffalo has plenty of cap space now and even with a big signing or two in the near future will be able to fit the rookies’ estimated $6.5 salary underneath the cap. It’s also important to note than once Buffalo surpasses 51 players under contract, only the top 51 will count in the salary cap calculation, so signings on the back end of the roster will either not count in the top 51 calculation or only increase the cap by a couple hundred thousand dollars as a really low cap number is bumped by a low cap number. Buffalo could also easily add up to $14.7 million more in salary cap space by restructuring contracts for Marcell Dareus and/or Cordy Glenn. That would bring their total over $30 million before rookies. The maximum realistic potential cap space Buffalo could have after possible restructures, post-June 1 cuts, and rookie salaries are applied is roughly $28 million. They probably couldn’t spend that much right now if they wanted to. More From Buffalo Rumblin Would have liked to have seen a solid, veteran WR brought in.

Very doubtful Time to move on from him.

I agree.

It's weird that you think he was ever the best backup in the NFL.

Whaley does have control over getting a good number two. Maybe even a three. We have almost nothing after Watkins.

Are you counting on him to play 16 games? I'm not.

Excellent post.

They need a WR first. With Watkins questionable with his injuries the Bills need a good playmaker opposite him.

That's one of the problems-will he?

Right now, without Watkins, the Bills must have the worst WR corp in the NFL.

Make the playoffs.

The WC spot is always the only option for the Bills. They have a chance at that.

This. and the cap problems.

Just never heard of him.

That's what I think.

The Bills need a WR in FA. Hopefully today.
