I would extend Shakir now. His price will likely only increase and we could get a better value doing it this year. I actually think he could be had cheaper than that stated 19.3M. I let Benford walk. Yes he's blossomed into a great corner. However the last few games and recently hired DB coaching seems to imply a shift from zone to more man. He's not the same fit in a man defense IMO. 22.6M is a big contract. Someone else will pay him handsomely. He would likely meet a 3rd round comp pick...and for a former later rounder....this is a heck of a win. Bernard is a tough one. Flashed 2 years ago and this year I thought he played well at times but also took a step back. Was it injury? Being asked too much? Not having Hyde and Poyer behind him to help? Maybe a combination. But at 6.7M that's not a horrible price and at that number, I extend. It may be said Cook is at 10.2M, however it seems pretty well documented he's looking for more. If he could be had at 10.2M, I'm with it for a re-sign of 2-3 years. If he sticks at or near that 15M ask, I'm calling ing Dallas to see what Jerry would offer up...

Chris Ivory was atrocious for the Bills, Mike Tolbert, Bryce Brown, Kelvin Benjamin... What about Al Cowlings? Vlad Ducasse...Kelly Stoffer...

Is this the guy that made Milano's injury worse?

I like this one the best. Jest just basically publicly fired him😂😂 Would have been better if new HC Glenn went on the McAfee show and did it there.

Honestly, I kinda feel like with the OLine the Steelers have, Lawrence would be a sitting duck back there. I really think they would get better value from Fields.

We also would have drafted Rosen....

I think if I'm the GM, I pick up the phone and call Dallas. They have an obvious RB need, need more weapons on offense period and the last time we played the Cowboys, Cook left a lasting impression and rolled all over them. I ask for a first and settle for a second. If best Dallas offers is a 3rd I keep shopping him or keep him knowing I'd probably end up with a 3rd-4th round comp pick the following year for him. I'd draft a back with similar skill set and double down in the FA market for a guy like JK Dobbins if he hits FA. I like Cook a lot. But I like him a lot less at $15M per season.

Most of us have lost loved ones who never got to see the Bills win the big one. And none of us are getting younger. Sorry for your loss tho. And preaching? Imagine saying something on a public opinion board and someone having an opposing view and you feeling like it's "preaching". Maybe this place isn't for you. Try Pinterest? And simply put the whole "this staff gets one more year" rhetoric fans have is absolutely hysterical. A year from now if they didn't win...what are you gonna do about it? I know this may be a tough pill to swallow....but unless you are indeed Terry Pegula's burner account your opinion (as well as anyone else's on this platform) on the longevity of the coaching staff employment is irrelevant.

He's Tyreek without the talent.

It's definitely worth the price of admission.

$19M cap hit. Chiefs save $17M from letting him go. They have that Noah Grey that looks like he could break out. So replacement is in place May not be his decision to come back. Only way I see KC bring him back is at a pay cut, but then that may motivate him less to come back at all.

Great news. He carved out a nice role for himself last year. Looking forward to the continuity on the OL this year.

No. No I would not. I would consider but a missed opportunity for the city. But in the scope of sports it's possible to both not win a Championship and have a successful run. Especially because of the level of talent currently at the top of the AFC that they are stacked up against year in and year out. The Bills going from 17 years outside the playoffs to 5 straight division championships and 2 AFCCG appearances May not be the level of success we desire to see the team achieve...but it is success nonetheless. Brushing off the accomplishments of the team during this run just because they didn't win it all is such a self sabotaging outlook IMO. Everyone is free to feel different on this. I totally see the other side of the coin so to speak. But being thankful for a buck shot of other goals achieved is a good thing too.

Furthermore, I don't know if he's back with the Chiefs next year even if he does come back. Kelce carries a $19M cap hit. Of which the Chiefs save $17M if they cut him. With Noah Grey looking like a potential breakout candidate and Kelce taking steps back (though still was able to put up top 5 TE numbers) it may just be time to move on. The only way I see him back in KC is on a significantly reduced salary, which in my opinion would motivate him even less to play. There may be legs to this storyline this off season.

Hall of Fame, one of the all time best. Extremely successful career. How successful? It's 30 years later and he's still talked about. How do you look at Trent Dilfer's career?

What a weird kind of ultimatum. Are the Bills in contention every year? Yes. Are they in the playoffs every year? Every year sans one under McDermott. Are they profitable? Yes. 5 straight division championships. That's a winning team. Fans are absolutely delusional sometimes. The "Super Bowl or we are losers" mentality held by fans is not the reality of how an ownership approaches it. This year we had a first time play caller on defense. An OC that took over for his first full year putting his offense in. Traded our #1 WR. Our best boundary WR this year was MACK HOLLINS. Gutted our defense, lost many players that had a leadership role...and still came within 3 points of beating the (at the time )2 time defending champions in their house in the AFCCG. This last year was a WIN considering many both here and in the media predicted a third place division finish and no playoffs. It's really ironic people are claiming he's "on the hot seat" coming off a year where he probably had his best season as a coach. I get it. Change is sometimes needed when you aren't number one. But change for change sake often leads to failure. Who are you replacing him with? And how does the team look once said coach comes in, hires 2 new coordinators, guts the roster a bit to get guys who fit his systems?

Guy has an immensely talented roster and works under who I consider to be the best GM in football. He coaches in the NFC without a lot of great teams at the top. He's in a dream situation...but that doesn't make him the "best coach". I think if you put a lot of coaches in his spot they have about the same success. I will give him credit for being able to assemble a good staff, however. Give me a coach that does more with less. Quinn last year, heck Gannon out in Arizona. Getting more from their roster than many would think. That's a better coaching job in my eyes. People love to rag on Nagy...but the dude made the playoffs TWICE with Trubisky as his QB. I'd like to see him get a second chance somewhere.

Lol. No. Not even close. Guy just coached the Bills to the AFCCG. Terry loves him. The players still strongly support him. After losing in the Divisional round the last few years they actually took a step forward with less perceived talent on the roster. He's closer to getting another extension than he is being on the hot seat IMO.

Bolton addresses something the Bills lack. A run stopping LBer. A very good 2 down thumper that can step in and play in bad weather, against run heavy teams and in short yardage. He should be reasonable cost. I like the 4 you mentioned BUT....Milano and Bernard are always candidates to miss time. Buffalo Joe is a good prospect but still a bit green and Dorian (who is my personal favorite LBer we have) still gets lost in the shuffle too much. We may run a base nickel, but Taron misses time this year as well. Bolton give us the flexibility to run more 4-3 looks per down and distance and lighten his load as he ages.

To all the ones saying Kincaid, you are dead wrong IMO. If what Knox said was true and he was playing through a knee injury this year, Beane will give him time to heal and come back. This is what they have done in the past with guys like Spencer Brown. And that makes Knox more valuable as an alternative of Kincaid doesn't come back healthy. Far too early to flip Kincaid for a 3rd rather than see if he comes back and is the guy he flashed he could be as a rookie. The only way I see them trading Kincaid is if some GM goes crazy and makes a huge offer OR the medicals on him show he won't heal properly.

Bills are pretty deep on the OL. Maybe a Bates type trade where we get a late rounder or late round pick swap for one of our guys there. I like RVD but he seems like he got passed on the depth chart a bit. Maybe they move him. Maybe they talk a team to take a chance on Elam for like a 2026 6th rounder, but maybe they bring him back because of his low salary as they seem to be leaning more man to man based on recent coaching hires.

Honestly, I'd be happy with Bolton from the Chiefs too. He can be burnt in coverage, but he's really solid against the run, which is something we can really use.

Just because someone works under someone else does not instantly make them a disciple of the coach in charge was my point. If Harkey is the hire, we don't know if he shares the same philosophy, thought process, emphasis as Smiley did. For all we know he's the Ying to Smiley's Yang. Again, we don't know what we don't know. So stating in a factual manner that the hiring would suck is a bit far. As I said, we don't know what we don't know. If Harkey is hired, sure it's more than fair to be skeptical that something will change. It's more than fair to have the opinion that it's just status quo. But it's also wise to be open to see if things improve before automatically assuming it won't. Believe me, if this is the route they go I'll roll my eyes harder than most here...but I'll have an open mind and see the results before I say it sucks

I couldn't care less about Worthy or that it was the Chiefs in particular we traded with. I have more of a problem with the overall process. Typically, as Beane has eluded to in the past, Buffalo has a group of guys they would select. And they are reactive with that list. They watch it dwindle until there's one or two guys left and make a small jump to grab them if they must...like they did with Kincaid. In other words, they let those that select before them dictate which one they end up with. Last year I'd imagine when the Bills were on the clock they had a bunch of players left on their list and moved down knowing they would get one of them. I'd much rather identify the guy you want the most and move up and grab that dude. At the end of the day, the Chiefs identified who they wanted and went and got him. Had the Bills been aggressive and moved up about the same amount of spots the Chiefs did they are in Brian Thomas Jr. territory.

Why is that? What do you know about the guy? Truth is I dislike the almost automatic "promote from within" philosophy McDermott has a lot as well...but we don't know what we don't know. Heck Brady worked under Dorsey and that turned out just fine. For all we know, Harkey had some really good ideas and was shot down by Smiley. Maybe he didn't. Who knows. Either way I can't say if Harkey would be a good or bad hire because there is literally nothing typically known about an Assistant Special Teams Coach.
