Personally, I don’t think paying RBs big money is a smart move in the modern day NFL.
Id rather save that money for impact positions.
Draft a RB in the first 3 rounds every couple years.

Definitely worth pointing out.
We return only Dawkins, DiMarco and JA in their same role on Offense. Thats it.
New LG
New C
New RG
New RT
New RB1
New RB2
New RB3
New TE1
New TE2
New TE3
New WR1
New Slot
Zay, Foster & McKenzie return but down the depth chart.

Thought we’d see running back by committee but this lends me to believe Singletary is the feature back. Gore his backup/short yardage. Yeldon pass catching back.

Spain?
Oh dang.. completely forgot about that guy. Yea, add him to the mix. Either depth or starting at LG

Shows how desperate teams are for OL help across the league.
You can mask it to an extent with scheme and QB play, but there aren’t but a handful of teams that are solid across the board on the line, with depth/versatility.
We just may be.
Dawkins - Feliciano - Morse - Ford - Nsehke
Long - Boettger - Bates
EDIT - Forgot about Spain
Just have to hope they gel quick because that, potentially, starting OL hasn’t been able to play together in any of the preseason games.

All you have to do is spend 5 seconds on YouTube and you can find multiple videos of kickers being lit up.
Some people try so hard to fight for progress that they lose the ability to be rational in their arguments.
So many legitimate womens equality issues out there yet some of y’all choose this hill to die on.

Only because it's such a winnable game. Jets will be tough, no doubt, but they are basically us with a worse OL and Secondary.
It's up to Allen to play with, or better than, Sam Darnold.

But what happens if Clowney doesn't want to re-sign with us?
Even if his new team verbally agrees to terms, there is nothing that requires either side to honor that agreement after the 2019 season.
Let's say he verbally agrees to a 5-year, $100 million contract. Then he gets seriously hurt. How many teams are going to honor that contract?
Flip it around and imagine he notches 20 sacks, while earning DPOY honors. What's stopping him from demanding even more money?
I have absolutely no problem with Clowney being a Buffalo Bill, despite the questions about his effort and work ethic. Since we have plenty of cap space, I'm even OK with him getting a bloated overpriced contract. What I'm not OK with, is parting with significant resources for a 1-year-rental.
Gaine being involved should give everyone a little bit of comfort. Also, do we know of any players in this McDermott era that are clamoring to leave? Even guys like Shady love it here.

Where are people getting this "likely playoff team" from? Pretty much everyone has the Bills projected to be roughly a 7 win team. That's a "team with a shot at a wild card," not a likely playoff team. I understand being a homer, but really, we're getting a little out over our skis here.
If we trade for Clowney, lots of analysts will have us as a playoff team. Even some of the ones who never watch Josh Allen, yet are convinced he’s terrible, will concede that our defense makes that likely.

I'd be okay with Zay Jones & T.J. Yeldon for Clowney.
Houston fans would riot if it was 2 players, no picks and one of them wasn’t Shady.
No idea what the market is for Clowney, but it feels like they could get more than Zay and a RB (Yeldon) who isn’t even a roster lock for us.

I’d blame him more for the bad Star Lotulelei and Mitch Morse big $$$ signings than I would if Allen doesn’t pan out.
Mitch Morse is barely anything of a cap hit if we part ways after next year.
It was structured in a very responsible way.

I wouldn’t expect Beane to be actively working out a deal today if one were to go down. I would assume he’s made his offer and it’s up to Houston to come to the table, if interested. Could be a few offers to choose from, but I don’t get the sense from how he operates that he’d be locked up in the war room actively negotiating like something out of a movie.

That sounds suspiciously like what someone who’s trading for Clowney would do....

I truly hate to say this, but can we prepare for the possibility that he ends up in Miami, and not just that he ends up in Miami but we find out later he had no interest in ever playing for Buffalo. That would be soul crushing when you consider that the bills are miles, miles, miles, miles ahead of the dolphins .
I mean, we can, but there’s no reason to think he has “no interest” in playing here. He’s not Antonio Brown.
The only team he’s reportedly had reservations about is Miami.
Also, I’m sure Brian Gaine knows him pretty well. If we’re interested, it’s probably in part due to him.

People saying this isn’t an “offense” move are wrong.
An elite defense, with our elite punt returner factors in for how many yards of starting field position?
I dont know about y’all, but I think Allen and the Offense would put up a lot more points starting at the 40, as opposed to the 10.

But if we pay Clowney long term, what does that mean for extending Edmunds in a couple years? I can’t see the Bills FO throwing that much money at one area of the team.
Won’t Hughes be coming off the books then?

I wonder if McBeane feel the same way. I suspect if they knew that their first round pick would give them an opportunity to have a rare elite defense, they’d gladly make that pick. What’s the difference between making that pick now vs. later?
If you make the trade, you’re operating under the assumption Clowney A) Signs here long term and B) Helps lead us to the Playoffs.
That first round pick is then in the 20’s.
You cant build a contender by playing it safe all the time. You draft well and structure smart contracts to make moves like this.
Id be ok with a 1 for Clowney, but I’d be surprised if that’s what it took given he can only wink wink a long term commitment.

This defense would have zero weaknesses if we got Clowney. We’d be talking dominance.
Hughes - Star - Oliver - Clowney
Milano - Edmunds - Lorax
White - Johnson - Wallace
Hyde - Poyer
Solid depth at every level behind those guys

Yea, we’d probably have to throw in picks to outbid Miami, given they have a franchise Tackle they somehow don’t want to keep.
That said, I just can’t wrap my head around it. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a team in tank mode make a blockbuster trade like this.

He would re- sign because Miami is a great city to live in as a rich single dude- I doubt winning his main goal and Miami will have a ton of cap space next year apparently
Well, if he doesn’t care about winning, then sure... make a ton of money and live in Miami - I get it.
I’m operating under the assumption that he doesn’t want to play his prime in obscurity.

I am still not sure how I feel about this. On the surface, I would love to have him because he is a damn good football player, but once you factor in injury history, desired salary, etc, it starts to feel like a bad fit. That being said, I trust Beane and McDermott to make the right call.
We are in great place cap-wise. The big contracts we have on the books, are all structured in a way to provide cap flexibility.
This FO looks to be STRONG in drafting, which gives us a constant influx of young, affordable talent.
If there was ever a position for this team to go all in on, and take a chance, it’s WR or EDGE. We tried at WR (Antonio Brown), he ended up with the Raiders. I absolutely believe we’re trying to bring Clowney here, and it would be worth the gamble.

How much does a 4th RB really make? I mean Marcus Murphy was our 4th RB last season, I really don't think he made an impact. Is Yeldon a player than him? Yes, but we're talking about field time and don't see any 4th RB getting significant time unless one of our top 3 goes down with an injury.
Well our top two RB’s are old. Still have juice, but old. That has to factor in.
Yeldon also brings a unique skill set as a pseudo-WR out of the backfield.

Keeping DiMarco is the biggest waste year in year out. He's not even that good a FB and he gives you zero offense.
I don’t hate the idea of keeping him in a vacuum, but at the expense of a Yeldon or Duke Williams, I do.
Especially when Lee Smith and Dawson Knox are excellent blockers. Just use them in whatever random role DiMarco has if we need it.

Devin Singletary, welcome to RB1 of the Buffalo Bills

Can he pass block?
Hes shown that he’s a legit passing weapon. His entire college career, he just finds the end zone and he did that in the preseason. He’s also going to turn a lot of runs from 2-3 yards to 8-12 yards.
I wasnt a fan of the pick, but he’s impressed.
