Colts/Jets trade definitely burned us at the moment. But,.... Does anyone else think a "behind the scenes" deal was already in place? Getting a 3rd for Tyrod definitely had the feel of a pending future transaction with the Browns. Unfortunately the Jets screwed that up jumping to 3. Now the only game is with the Giants if they covet a particular. Hope the friendship between Gettleman and Beane is on good terms.

Gotta agree with you, he's grown on me. I'm hoping he's the 4th QB taken for two reasons. 1. We won't have to mortgage the farm and can address other positions. 2. He'll have such a chip on his shoulder he'll make it his personal mission to destroy the QBs picked before him and the teams that drafted them.

Meh, Last I checked it was still 11 vs. 11. On paper it does looks pretty intimidating.

How good is the pie in the Bills Cafeteria?

Turnovers with interception icing?

Move over Zay, you got a roommate.

What about us fans? Maybe one day we'll get the help we need. Jesus help us.

Yeah, we cut him loose and he signs with a team with an actual QB and becomes a perennial pro bowler. Such is the life of a Bills fan. Ladies and gentlemen, the next Cris Carter.

I'd like to rescind my guarantee due to the recent developments.

I'll go one further. I guarantee they'll be at least 2 on the field come opening day.

I got that vibe as well.

I would give them the 1st rounder next year and keep 53 and 65 and next years 2nd rounder. Next years 1st rounder will most likely be in the 30-32 range anyway.................

Plus 1. I like him I just don't 12 like him. Heck I don't 22 like him. I would 53 like him though.

Maybe for a swap of 22 for 6, not 12 for 6. KC jumped 17 spots for basically the same trade, why would the Bills do the same for a 6 spot swap? 22 and next years 1st, ok, not for a swap of 12 to 6. I don't care what the Jets set the market at, not every GM is that stupid.

I don't think it was a lack of respect. Once he became a UFA he probably priced himself out of the market thinking another team out there would pay him like the Bears did Glennon. His agent should get fired and he should hire Bradfords.

I wonder if he'll accept league minimum since that's all we can afford right now. Maybe we can teach Star a few patterns on the route tree?

What makes them "bad" signings is the money involved, not the player themselves. I like both players, especially Star. But when I saw the money they paid him I shook my head in disbelief. 10 mil a year for a one dimensional DT is ridiculous especially when there so many needs and so little cap space. I wanted them to sign him but more like 7 mil per. Murphy is a very good player and if he stays healthy should be a good acquisition. Not so much of an over pay as Star was.

That mocks a wet dream, never gonna happen. Even if you don't like Jackson you can't complain about that line up of picks. Not one WR though?

These signings tell me Lamar Jackson will be the pick. With this Right side of the O line the QB will be running for their life.

There, fixed it.

I just hope next years 1st isn't part of the equation. 12, 22, 53 and next years first is just too much IMO. When was the last time 3 first round picks were part of a draft day trade up? Too lazy to look it up right now

You mean trading away malcontents and injury prone players making massive bank and not producing? Yeah they were talented,.. at sitting on the pine. Lets hold off on fitting Mr. Watson with a yellow jacket shall we. Plenty of teams passed on him. Yes he looked amazing in his limited play and could very well be a MVP caliber player for years to come. But his dual threat style of play can lead to injuries. He's already suffered a serious knee injury and that was in practice. We'll learn more in his second year if it was truly a mistake. And yes I know injuries happen to all players regardless of position and its part of the game.

Outside of overpaying Star he's been aces since taking the helm. Shedding bad contracts, acquiring premium picks, creating cap space and comp picks for next season. I find it hard to believe his job would be in jeopardy if he decided to address holes in the roster and hold off on a QB. But yes, if he feels there is a "can't miss" QB prospect then he will do what he must. Everyone is assuming that to get his "guy" they have to get the #2. Who's to say the guy he wants is not there at 12 or later?

Sure they will, that's obvious. And if they hit it may be well worth it. But if you think Beane is jumping off a cliff like the Jets GM did then you're not really paying attention to his method of team building are you?

And if it doesn't pan out at least they took a shot, right? I mean their roster is soooo strong they didn't really need those premium picks for other positions, right?
