Loving seeing the progress! Curious if they’ll build walkways above the road to make it easier to cross the road from the parking lots to the stadium and vice versa.

So many questions and none of them are good. Signing two players that have an automatic 6 game suspension when you have significant needs on D is just assinine. Knowing they were going to be suspended for a 1/3 of the season is even more assinine. Both will start the season on IR and won’t be able to practice and yet we’re expecting them to just hit the ground running when they return is plain idiotic. And even worse, you’ve wasted cap space doing it! Overall, outside of the roster restructures and resigning Groot, Shakir, Johnson and Bernard, what a horrible start to the offseason. We still have major questions at DT, DE, CB, S and WR. I don’t believe Palmer is an immediate upgrade, Hamlin and Jackson are just JAGS and we have to pray Bosa stays healthy. One could argue we’ve gone backwards! Not good Beane! Not good at all. You better CRUSH the draft!

Trying to understand the why behind this signing? Was it really a necessary signing two days into free agency? Seems like this is someone that could have been picked up after the draft. Not to turn this into a Hamlin thread but between this signing and Hamlin, I don’t understand why we needed to do either deal at this time. Save the money for later if needed.

Fast forward to 2025 and we have still struggle to put two quality CB’s on the field during the playoffs. Again this team needs playmakers on D but Beane and McDermott keeping going with mostly JAGs and we wonder why we can’t break thru!

Not that Elam was the answer but we have major holes currently at CB with Elam and Rasul gone.

I wish him well as missing on Elam hurts. Stunned they were able to trade him for a 5th. Good luck to Elam in Dallas.

Thus far I don’t think FA has changed much regarding our draft needs. The FA’s that we have signed thus far give us good depth but I’m not sure anyone is a guaranteed starter depending on how the draft unfolds. DE,DT, CB are our most critical needs and that hasn’t changed. We’ll still look at WR but unless a dynamic WR falls on the draft board, I think we all agree D will be the primary focus. Curious if there is a player that Beane and McDermott covet in the late teens would they be willing to move up to get a potential difference maker? Or are they content letting the draft come to them. Regardless, I hope Beane is aggressive leveraging all the 4th-6th round picks to move up into the 3rd and 4th rounds. Why TE and RB? I’d say we are pretty set in those positions.

I would still anticipate the Bills draft a S in the later rounds as I believe Rapp, Hamlin and Forrest contracts all expire after next season.

Respect for everything he’s overcome but NOPE, NOPE, NOPE! Secondary needs more talent and he doesn’t move the needle.

Correct along with S if someone falls. But no doubt those are the top three priorities unless Beane makes a major trade. I think they realize they have plenty of draft capital to go get the guys they covet. With the way the roster is built, I wouldn’t be surprised if they trade away picks in 2026 to move up if needed.

Bills signing DT Larry Ogunjobi to a one year deal

I like that this is a one year deal. Big name but hasn’t played a full season in three years. We know he can play when healthy. Have to assume with our DL rotation, they’ll keep him on a pitch count. Could also be a primary 3rd down pass rusher. Just keep him healthy!!!

Agree why would Dallas make this trade? They can draft the Boise State RB at 12 and not have to pay big money for Cook.

Lol……IMO, we have Cook, Davis, Johnson, Evans and Gore Jr. so I don’t see a need to waste a pick this year on RB.

Nice! I hope Beane uses some of those 5th and 6th round picks to move up into the 4th round if there is someone they covet!

Excellent! One less area to focus on in the draft.

Don’t disagree but getting someone and getting someone who will be impactful is a challenge and what this D truly needs.

Minny adding DL beef with Jonathan Allen and Hargrove. I’m sure they will do well under Flores.

I hope you are right. Not sure Palmer is WR1 in the definition of WR1 based upon his past. He can play outside and get separation which is something we sorely needed. He’ll fit into everyone eats though. Hopefully, Samuel, Coleman and Dalton take a big leap forward this year which should help Palmer and vice versa.

That wasn’t my point. It was more they must view the draft higher than the current group of FA’s. It just puts more pressure to hit on their picks. Barring nothing notably changing in FA, our D is still a major concern.

Almost end of day one and it’s looking like the Bills are contempt to add mid tier additions to the roster. Evidently, they must view the draft as a chance to add some impactful difference makers. While I do believe the draft is the way to go, I’m not confident Beane will draft potential difference makers based upon prior history. They’ll need to find another Hollins that is willing to do the dirty work in the run game. We currently have one starting CB and two starting injury prone safeties. Not sure if there is anyone left at DT that enhances the DL. This will put more pressure on Beane to hit in the draft. Same can be said with DE. Hopefully, Ty Johnson is back so as not to create another need. Curiously, if Beane is trying to make a trade? Currently, our needs haven’t changed. Still needing DE, DT, CB, S and WR.

Let’s pray they can both stay healthy then because that hasn’t been the case if we roll with Rapp and Bishop!

Commanders can be aggressive with Daniel’s on a rookie contract!

Agree Josh/Brady > Herbert/Harbaugh
