If he continues playing well he will be back in Buffalo on a 3 year deal next season. 3,4,5 million for the 3 years ($12M total) gets it done IMO. I don't see him wanting to leave and I see his best football is still in front of him.

What good teams have developed a Day 3 draft pick QB in the last 10 years? Dak? He wasn't developed he was thrown into the starter role from day 1. Maybe Cousins and Foles. So, it comes down to a couple of guys out of 32 teams for 10 or more years. It just seems wiser to let other teams mess around with all that and get a backup with a little experience.

With Josh signed for so long I just don't see the need to try to develop a rookie QB. Some proven backup level QBs fits the need. Backup QB has a big role in helping the 2nd string depth offense improve. Bring in camp arms every year and keep one on the PS squad.

Jacoby Brissett is my UFA pick by far from the guys that are currently available. I don't think the Bills go with an old QB (someone over say 32). Josh is way past that need. Also, I don't see a guy that is too young and inexperienced. His pay is now trending down so he won't cost too much and a 2-year deal would be the ticket. If he fits in and settles in as a backup for the rest of his career, he could end up staying for a little longer.

I liked " If you down 27-0 you should be banned from the playoffs for 2 years"!

Wow some of those camera angles were just awesome!

Thanks. This Annie Agar is an interesting young woman. I hope she is picked up by NFL Network and not ESPN. I can see a bright future for her! https://thesportssection.com/annie-agars-meteoric-rise-to-social-media-stardom/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=article-sharing

I know same here. You can't stop the quoted stuff. I wish there was an option for that.

I'm older than I care to think about!

I can guarantee I won't.

Agree. If Morse wants to play he stays. He also has the perfect contract that can be played with to free up some cap.

I too think a 1st round tender is too much for a G. At most the 2nd round at $3.9M or what you said.

I have him on ignore and I still agree.

Yes. I personally think that if the Titans lose, Bills and Chiefs coaches/players/fans will know the winner hosts the AFCCG. How could anyone not want that! I may have to fly into Buffalo (even if I don't go to the game) to share the experience with family and friends. Now that I'm retired I just might stick around for the Super Bowl if things worked out the way we all hope.

So glad the Titan/Bengal game is played first. If the Bengals win it makes to Bills/Chiefs game even BIGGER.

I could see a scenario where with a good bend but don't break defensive gameplan the Bills could hold them to 27-31 points.

I have been keeping an eye on the Chiefs situation and will be interested in how they handle the off season. Lots of FAs and a lot of their contract restructures comes to a head again next year with only $22M currently in cap. Top 4 cap hits. Bills biggest cap hit is Diggs at $18M. Mahomes: $36M Chris Jones: $30M Frank Clark: $26M Tyreek Hill: $20M (last year of his contract). https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs/cap/ https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/kansas-city-chiefs/

Yes, and that's why there are not too many older players on the team this year. Last year Beane shed these over 30 players: Ty Nsekhe, Lee Smith, Andre Roberts, John Brown and Trent Murphy. Many of these players gone have been brought up by fans as "bad moves" during the season but they all were no longer seen as needed by the Bills "going forward".

Zero. He has been groomed by McDermott to take the Buffalo Bills OC spot. Why would he pick Tua over Josh?

I agree but I think BB will. If he keeps coaching he is not going to go through a proper rebuild. He is going to try to do a quick patch. Does anyone think that when BB does retire he is going to concern himself with the Pats* future cap and draft picks? His only choice right now to stay relevant IMO is to go all in.

While I know you mean players it could be worth mentioning that there is a possibility that the Bills will need to replace Schoen, Daboll and Frazier. If that happens it will be critical that Beane and McDermott get the right replacements.

I agree. One thing that I have to add is how well Beane and McDermott seem to work together. I know they have a plan they are following and that will mean that McDermott will at times have to live with "what he's got" and scheme around it. I sure hope it can continue and all I can say about the team of Brandon and Sean is, "The whole is greater than the sum of the parts".

The same question could be asked about the KC Chiefs and other recent top teams. Fans like to use a few reasons that I will cite for the "window" and its length. 1. Window is determined on QB salary: Paying a QB (which starts for KC next and the Bills in 2023) puts cap limits in play but I believe not as much as some fans think. It takes away 1 big money impact player at the peak of his salary. That is not a crippling situation. It is constantly brought up that a QB salary at times is a bargain a few years after a big contract is signed. Allen signing for 6 years is great as long as his play stays elite. 2. Current star players aging: It's a constant issue for every team regardless of records. Having a long-term plan which identifies these players and having replacements in mind (especially on the team in a depth position) is paramount. Smart FA and drafting of course is the key to this. Staggering your high priced players and rookie contracts ease's the transitions. 3. High dollar FAs: It seems to me the most controversial issue argued about. Reason being the window will not remain open for long so grab as many FAs now (and worry about the consequences later) to run for a Super Bowl. I imagine this FA period there will be dozens of threads arguing the pros and cons of each player talked about. IMO it is one of the most misused choices made by GMs/HCs. Signing high dollar FAs that don't perform can slam that window faster than anything but signing the ones that excel is a game changer. Beane and McDermott have said over and over they want a long run with the Bills. Having Josh Allen makes that all possible. Beane will have to resist going after too many impact FAs and will have to follow a long-term plan and hope it works more years than not. Using the "window" analogy I'm expecting Beane to attempt to keep his window as open as possible in any given year without creating a situation that slams the window shut in the future. It's an extremely hard thing to do but I am very interested to watch him attempt to do it! I try to keep all this in mind after every one of Beane's moves!

It seems to me that a GM (General Manager) job responsibilities are a lot more than being a player evaluator. While that is important, especially in major player positions like QB, building a management team under him is more important.

Good thing that GM is gone.
