Yeah. Atlanta, Seattle and Washington left. People are going to be kinda shocked when the hiring is done, spots are filled and Belichick and Vrabel are still on the market.

Votes are already in. They vote before the post season starts IIRC.

No Tua?!?!? But I was told....

Interesting hire. Wonder who Tepper will hire next year.😂. (This has more to do with Tepper and less to do with Canales.)

"Cheery picking"😂 Yes, our top 2 picks being heavily played this year is "cheery picked" Last year's class had Cook, Benford, Bernard and Shakir, all played heavy roles. Elam was at this point an exception to playing rookies. The year before both Groot and Brown ended their rookie years as starters. It's almost like some guys need time to develop. Case in point Bernard year 1...just wasn't ready. Looked lost. Year 2....played amazing. The narrative is about as dead as the idea that Tyler Dunne is impartial when it comes to writing articles on McDermott. But go ahead and dazzle me with some facts that aren't "cheery picked". I'll spot ya Elam. And go...

Chance to reunite with Edmunds....how can you say no. This plus Babich's interest from the Giants... McDermott better decide what he's doing and quickly.

That 673 yards was the 10th most from a rookie TE in NFL history. His 73 catches were the 4th most by a rookie TE in NFL history. O'Cyrus Torrence played ever snap as a rookie. I cannot believe this is still a narrative.

But can she read what alignment a defense is in, check to the proper play, shift protections and hit the open receiver?

This! Every year teams make move and everyone starts freaking out. This is just another hire that the media will over hype all off season. This will be last year's Rodgers to the Jets. "Chargers are instantly a Super Bowl contender" They really have a lot of work to do on the roster. The have a QB that has talent but looks about as interested in playing football as your basic 80 year old woman in a bingo hall. In life the 3 guarantees are death, taxes and the Chargers Chargering. I expect nothing different.

From what it sounds like he really didn't want to be there that much going to last year. Wanted Philly but they went with Desai. And judging from several player reactions he wasn't really liked by the players there either.

Maybe they can bring that Brian Flores fella in from the Vikings.

I don't know why but looking over that list I can't help but feeling that Devin Duvernay is someone Beane will target.

For me and what my plan would be, I would start at the CB spot and that revolves around Tre White at the moment. If White is healthy enough to return, I offer him a pay cut to stay on. At his age, coming off 2 serious injuries he just likely won't be the same. However, we now have Rasul to take over at CB1 and Tre can stick at CB2. If Tre is open to the pay cut due to reduced role (and yes, there would be incentives in the contract to allow him to recover some of the loss) that's a slam dunk. I would also bring Dane Jackson back as he likely won't break the bank and knows the system. CB1: Douglas CB2: White CB3: Benford/Jackson/Elam The reason I have those 3 named at CB3 is if White is healthy and back it would allow the Bills to finally consider moving Benford to Safety to cover a spot. And I think as good as he's been at corner he translates even better to safety. JMO. From there I let Rapp walk. Day 2 pick spent on a safety with a young vet in as well. I love Damar Hamlin as a person, but if we fail to upgrade on him as a backup it's a failure My target would be Kyle Dugger or Kamren Curl. Poyer can stay, however I'd like to see him in the role that Rapp had this year. Less snaps but still a part of the game plan. I believe they need to draft a DT by the end of day 2. Even then, help will be needed. We will also need guys at EDGE. Von...not expecting much from him. Would love Floyd back. Would take AJE back at the right price. At LBer, I go into the season with Bernard, Milano, Dodson, Williams and Spector and feel pretty good about that unit. Offense: David Edwards is a guy I bring back. At WR I look day 1 to draft one, but also bring in a mid level vet. I'm ok double dipping here with a late rounder with SPEED. I look to the late rounds to add a RB that fills the Latavius Murray power role. I would also bring in a punter with a big,big leg. Give him time to practice holding for the kicker if need be. You know the one. And a kicker to not only compete with Bass, but also let him not have to take every training camp and preseason kick.

Oh, I'm not trying to say there are ANY expectations about Hamler. Just that he's a body currently in the room. As far as double dipping, I'm fine if they do. It also wouldn't shock me too much if they take a WR in the 1st or 2nd and stand pat thinking that they get Shorter back and view that as a second young WR they didn't have in the mix this year. NOT saying that's my preferred route or something I agree with...just that kind of thought out of the Bills wouldn't shock me. Especially with other needs that we will have.

For me it depends on how the WR room shakes out. Do they keep Harty? Is Sherfield back? How much can we realistically expect out of Shorter. Or Isabella. Or KJ Hamler. We know Gabe is all but gone. So barring any change our only known assets there are Diggs and Shakir. Even adding a rookie to that, that's not enough IMO. Ideally, I'd like to see us draft one oland sign one. The FA being experienced, but not high priced star. DJ Chark comes to mind.

That was more than 1 thing.

If I were to lay a bet now, the top 3 names Higgins, Pittman and Evans will end up staying where they are. I'm almost expecting Higgins to get slapped with the tag. I would expect the Colts to do the same if a deal cannot be worked out. And Evans will test the market, but I bet he stays in the only city he's ever played for. Even if 1-3 of them actually hit the market I think a team like the Jets will be more than happy to vastly overpay. I do see Gabe landing a deal in the ballpark of what Lazard got with the Jets last off season. There should be a lot of solid 2nd level guys out there, though of which Gabe is a member. What may hurt his odds of a huge payday even more than the FA market is the deep WR draft class incoming. Looking at the last 5-6 years of draft classes, talented WRs are becoming a dime a dozen. Only a matter of time before FA the market reflects that.

Would rather just draft one and sign another. Kyle Dugger on this defense would be insane.

Dunne is what Jerry Sullivan once was. Only more salty

I mean, he did take Bobby Johnson when he left, so we kinda owe him one😂😂

Last season they made a big deal that Hyde was around the team while on IR with his neck. They kept saying how he was an unofficial "Coach". He seemed to take to it and enjoy that role as well. I'm seriously wondering if that's something in his future and if so I think McDermott would happily offer him an Assistant DB coach role. Hyde is one of his favorite players. It's almost a no brainier if it's something Hyde wants to get into.

They would, however it may still not be as appealing as working for an offensive minded HC. I mean, Frazier was here and had playcalling and credit ultimately was given to McDermott. Babich may be wiser to get out of the McDermott shadow.

Miss Lippy's car is green.

Don't know why you chose my reply to respond to as what you said really has nothing to do with what I said. I will respond the same. I like turtles.
