I think he would fit well. He's able to play outside and can separate. Also, coming off an injury an could possibly be had with the type of "prove it" deal Beane likes to fill out.

Answers like that are what end up getting a gal free wings in Buffalo for life.

That's a nice list, however I don't see the Bills in on too many of them. With the way Brandon Beane looks at Free Agency a lot of the time, I suggest that the WR we end up with isn't even a FA yet. Watch for WRs that become cap casualties over the next few weeks. They can be signed and not count against the comp pick formula...which seems like something Beane has been paying attention to the last few years. My name to watch is Christian Kirk. They have Thomas and Gabe Davis is locked in with a big contract. With a new coaching staff in Jacksonville it would make some sense for them to drop Kirk and get the cap savings. I really think if he gets cut he would be firmly on the Bills radar.

Way way way too soon to think about how this class ends up. But I will say I absolutely hate Beane's philosophy of drafting guys at the top of the draft that "may" be elite players in 2-3 years with the high RAS scores as opposed to guys that ARE impactful right off the bus. By the time a guy starts working out as a plus pick, it's time to re-sign him and then they "have earned the right to test free agency"

Agree. And that's why I'm in on a move up the board for a guy like Grant. I would much rather see Beane be aggressive and give up an extra pick or two to secure a guy that can come in and have an impact immediately rather than sit back and see who is left and end up with a development type player.

If we are picking I hope we use it to move up for Grant. If we trade it for a proven pass rusher I'm not upset, either. My fear is some DB or "high motor undersized EDGE"

I think whatever team signs him their fan base will have the "Stevie Johnson" conversation. The whole...is he a TRUE #1 WR or just the top WR here because of target volume and there not being a better option in the pass game. No doubt he will be a target hog most places he goes and will even have some seasons of good numbers. It will be interesting to me to see if he can create players himself (ala Jeffers, Chase, St. Brown) from talent or if it's due to a team forcing him the ball (ala Diggs in Buffalo)

I literally made the same comparison a few days ago in the FA thread. He will never live up to whatever contract he signs IMO

Waters only played with Montana for 2 seasons. I think Roger Craig would have been the better RB to stick there. Also, I believe Faulk only played one season with Manning. Edgerrin James was the play next to Manning.

He just might. He's definitely got the personality. I could even see Dawkins appearing along side him in a skit.

Probably not well.

Are you kidding? Some people here still wanna run the K-Gun, bring back Jerry Hughes and we will likely see threads about bringing back Poyer.

To play devils advocate a bit, the Bills took a $31M dead cap hit to trade Diggs. And while it's true it was to get rid of an obvious headache of a player, it shows Beane doesn't view dead cap as a nonstarter issue. I don't expect to see him traded nor do I think I would unless a team made a crazy generous offer for a guy that has been injured so often. I DO expect the Bills to approach him for a pay cut however.

SPOTRAC is a fun site. It's often way wrong as well. They take into consideration what a contract would look like in comparison with guys that produced along the same level. Trouble is that contract projection gets blown up once it's not just one team offering a contract. Once a guy hits the open market and teams start bidding the price will drive up. Justin Jefferson, I believe is making $35M. Chase will sign likely for that or slightly north of that. I expect some WR needy team with cash (Hello New England) to come in around $32 AAV for Higgins. And here's the thing, he will never live up to that contract. He's a good WR. But to me he has a Peerless Price stank about him. Great #2 who shines as long as a true #1 is across the field.

Achane is explosive. But I doubt he ends up leading the Fins in carries or yards next year. Guy is made of glass. Jaylen Wright, their 4th rounder from last year will end up playing more IMO.

No. But you CAN replace Taco Tuesday with Tofu Tuesday in the cafeteria and wait for him to quit

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.
