Does this tweet mean the Bills suck again?

Beane would have to trade #30, #61 and #93 at a minimum to move up to #14. That's from both Draft Value charts. I for one would hate that gamble. As for a trade with the Vikings, they got 2-3rds, 4-4ths and 2-5ths right now. If anything I could see them using some of that to move up to get an impact player of their own.

My "be patient" point was not about whether or not they pick up the 5th it was on how TE will play this year.

Yes. I'll post my "broken record" comment here that I have been saying all year. The Bills worked on Josh Allen and the passing game almost exclusively last camp. It was also an "abridged" camp. It stands to reason that the running game suffered both offensively and defensively because of it. I am certain that it will be addressed both resource wise and training wise this summer. How much success will come of it can only be realized after the season starts.

Yes, but even if the haul wouldn't be that great it's why picking up the 5th will most likely happen. Fans are looking at this whole Edmunds thing a little too myopically IMO. This coming season is an important one for TE and we just all have to be patient and wait to see what happens.

OK Nostradamus why don't you edit your OP and give your prediction as to where the Bills D will be ranked in Points and Yards Against in 2021. It should be easy with an expert like you.

The emotions of a tweener girl.

True. I will say though the 5th year option can work both ways. In the case of Edmunds it can be thought of as one more year to come to a long term decision. Exercising the the 5th negates having to decide on the possibility of what you are calling a "bad contract". The way I see it the only risk is that Edmunds does not play to the $12.7M 5th year contract. So I guess that risk is what will Edmunds true 2022 worth be? If he gives you $7-8M in value the risk for another year of evaluation is not that great. IMO.

He was a longshot to break into the roster this year. If an OT is not a BPA in the 1st 3 rounds I'm pretty sure a developmental guy will get selected in the later rounds. Good Luck in life Trey.

I was thinking the same thing. Edmunds is the type of player IMO with very good qualities mixed with some not so good tendencies. It's going to be a big year for him the season. The only debate is do they pick up the 5th year option. I think we will see that Beane does pick it up. I hear what some say about the Tag v 5th Year but I just don't see the tag being used. His $12.7M hit next year may end up being a few million more than his actual worth (as of now) but I'm pretty sure he will have the next 2 seasons of play with the Bills before a solid decision would be made one way or the other. Last offseason was entirely about Josh Allen and the passing game but I think this offseason will be a big refocus on the Defense (including the running game). I get the feeling that McDermott and Frazier put some new wrinkles in the D and I will see how TE plays if that happens. I got no problem with 2 more years and personally I am rooting for the young man.

I've got a pocket full of "pieces of eight".

OK then. I give the nod to the overall WR room to the Bills and the RB and TE rooms to the Browns. Let's remember though the Browns use a lot of treasure on their RBs.

Dude please don't tell me you think OBJ is better than Diggs.

The Browns will finally rise above the Steelers in the division this year. Not that big of a thing because the Bengals will pass the Steelers in 2022.

There is talk of it but last years PS rules were only voted in for 1 year. I hope they keep them the same as last year and like you I have heard they might vote on it.

Steelers LOL. First the Bills won by 11 and the 2 season games the Browns lost the 1st by 31 and won the 2nd by 2. Browns are decent football team and will be better than the Steelers this year but it still doesn't mean some of us can't laugh at them.

Oh for sure. Last year was great in that regard. I'm just saying I think there is a spot on the PS for Davis Webb to make some decent money to stay in Buffalo another year. I'll add that I don't think Fromm is a lock for the #3. Preseason this year will tell more.

Yep. I was checking out the AFC Playoff caliber teams for next years cap and FAs and CLE is not in great shape at all. Their big carryover years are done. Then they got to pay Baker just like the Bills have to pay Allen.

If things are normal the PS size this year is 12. With Trubisky only a 1 year guy I think they can afford a PS spot for Webb. Keep him around to see what happens after the season is done.

It seems to me that Beane has got himself set up for the draft pretty well. I can see a lot of positions being in the BPA category especially from Round 2 on. I think RB could be one of those.

I guess a batted down pass on 3rd down is as good as a sack.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the replies. I'm going to be back there in a few weeks so I'll check into it more. Plus, all the stuff is constantly changing so who knows what inputs these "passes" will allow by the time the season rolls around.

I guess I should look into this Excelsior Pass stuff. I'm planning to come to Buffalo 2 maybe 3 times this year. Do you think it's worth getting one? Can non-NY residents get one?

Sorry to hear about your Dad. I'm in a similar situation right now. Just got my 2nd shot and happy I got it as fast as I did. I'm booking a flight back to Buffalo as we speak to see my younger brother who is going through his fight against the C word. I wasn't going to do that until I was reasonably assured not to add to his issues.

People, people, people the first regulation game is 4+ months away. Let's wait to see what the NFL has to say until then. Lot's of water has to pass under the bridge.
