Beane waiting for that! Morse is also good. Front load all of these OL contracts. All of them, pay them to play here now, and maybe next year and then move on. Most are older OL or have injury concerns. 2-3 yrs front loaded. 3 yrs 25-35 million with a 5-8 million guaranteed signing bonus paid right now. Even if 3 bit at an 8 million dollar payout this year, there is @ 30-40 million to work with for a game changer or to roll over. You can still add a James/Uzomah TE and a Crabtree/Tate/Stills at WR. Very few current FA OL are long term solutions, but could be a great 2-3 yr tire patches. It still means draft OL in rounds 3-6 but it does not cost the franchise to do so and OBD can go BPA in rounds 1-3. I addressed this earlier in the thread. He has played less LT than I thought, but would still be a huge upgrade over Mills. You are correct.

The thing is Buffalo is dangerously close to the league floor in spending now. Why not go after FA OL and then go BPA? it seems very logical. Zeitler or Saffold at G, Paradis or Morse at C, D Williams at OT. Add in a Tate/Crabtree/Stills or Lockett at WR or Jesse Jame/ Uzomah while you are at it? Will still have $ left over and get a good mix of young and older, injury and no injury payers. Then draft BPA. Imagine signing Saffold, Morse, D Williams. Ok on OL for 2 yrs. Don't reach on a weak OL class. Take a Crabtree/ Tate for 2-3 yrs. No need to reach on a WR. If an Ed Oliver falls to 9 you take him. No questions asked. If a Gary, Polite, Ferrell falls move back and draft or take one. If OT Taylor, Little or Ford falls take them or move back. Buffalo is in a very very special place right now. It's very exciting!

very happy OBD brought him back. He plays with a bit of passion. Not the best player, but a spark plug. I'd perfectly happy with Stills and Williams. Both guys improve the team, and Buffalo has money to burn. D Williams?

You may be right, I thought he mixed it in more at LT, still a huge upgrade over Mills.

I'm on the fence about Paradis, but you are attributing all of the 34 sacks allowed to Case Keenum on Paradis over 2018. He only played 9 games before fracturing his Tibula. Keenum did take 22 sacks in the 9 games Paradis started, not great, but let's be honest. Bills QBs in 2018 took 41 sacks. 41 sacks vs 34 sacks. The very good: 2015: Paradis started in the Super Bowl and helped his team defeat the Carolina Panthers by a score of 24–10. Paradis played exceptionally well throughout his first season as a starter and was ranked the best center in the NFL in 2015 by Pro Football Focus and was also ranked the fourth overall center by the Bleacher Report. The Ring counts to a young team. He allowed 29 quarterback pressures and received a pass blocking efficiency of 96.6 from Pro Football Focus. It ranked 19th among all centers in 2015. This was blocking for the statue known as Peyton Manning. 2016: Paradis played 2,392 snaps out of a possible 2,402 snaps in 2016 and only allowed 17 quarterback pressures. Pro Football Focus gave Paradis a pass blocking efficiency of 97.9, which ranked 13th among all centers. He also received an overall grade of 90.7 from PFF that finished first among all centers. The concerning: 2017: Paradis missed organized team activities and the beginning of training camp after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on both his hips during the offseason. He returned to training camp after receiving medical clearance in July.Head coach Vance Joseph named Paradis the starting center to begin the regular season, ahead of Connor McGovern and Dillon Day. Paradis started all 16 regular season games for the third consecutive season. He earned an overall grade of 75.2 from Pro Football Focus in 2017 The bad: On March 12, 2018, the Broncos placed a second-round restricted free agent tender on Paradis. He started the first nine games at center before suffering a fractured fibula in Week 9. He was placed on injured reserve on November 12, 2018 BTW Paradis still ranked 12th of all OL on PFF at 75.2 overall in 2018, meanwhile Russell Bodine scored 46.8. So here is a guy with a Super Bowl Ring. 29 Years old. Great first two years and troubling 2 years after. His injuries are a major red flag. He is still in the mix. Morse, the other good FA Center also has injury concerns. I would think the goal would to bring in a vet C to compete with Bodine and draft a C around rounds 4-6. Find someone to call out protections while JA scans the Def for opportunities.

Wait till the Bills or Jets or Cardinals back up a dump truck of cash. Paradis and Morse will be well paid starters, and not have to wait out 'prove it' deals. Too many teams with young QBs needing vet C to help call out protections and have long term starter positions available.

I'm Frank Reich and I do not approve of this message....

100% agree not afraid to sling it for certain. I see what you see from this clip.

Fine with that too. Spend to salary min on OL and maybe a WR like Tate/Crabtree/Dorsett

PS no kidding, worst kept secret ever

Since Bills have to spend to minimum, might as well get D Williams at OT too and slide Dawkins to LG. Williams/ Dawkins/Paradis or Morse/Teller/Taylor - now we have something still draft a C since both Morse and Paradis have injury concerns.

So Clay had 3x 500+ yards receiving seasons in a row and was a good blocker and Bills fans had pitchforks for him. Allen has had exactly 1x 500+ yd season to his career and this is a payer sought after.... meh. James or Uzomah please

Yes please, and bring in D Williams and Paradis or Morse, a Crabtree/Tate/Lockett and then the draft is BPA

meh...

Link please

what a nut job

I thought he came on pretty well at the end of the year and started to establish a rapport with JA. 56/ 650 and 7 TDs. Not bad for a guy playing with 4 QBs, a fat cow across from him and nothing from the RB position.

Ill take Saffold and Daryl Williams and draft the Center that Josh Allen plays with for his career.

if you want a guy like this I believe Phillip Dorsett is available for no draft pick.

I see what you did there ?

I'm good with CJ Uzomah or Jesse James. 26 and 25 respectively. Both good plug and play TEs in one and two TE sets.

I was in Philly for the Andy Reid years, Duce Staley was a terrific back. Had 3 seasons of @1500+ yards rushing and receiving. Tough crowd. Injury hurt him after back to back 1500 Rush/receiving years, still came back a year or two later for another 1k rush 1450+ performance. He was a key to that Eagle team that made 4-5 NFC championship games. this list in general is not good. Warner and Turner were both good lead backs and played in rotations for chunks of their careers.

No no, between amazing child bearing prowess, Travis was selling the weed, Karlos was smoking it.

I'm good with OBD getting two FA OL and a FA TE like James or CJ Uzomah. Then get a playmaker WR and DL in the first two rounds and go BPA after, hopefully adding some OL depth since most of the FA OL would be improvements, but have some injury risk.

It helps, but I don't remember Tony Gonzalez or Antonio Gates winning one, and they were two of the best over the last 30-40 years. But yes a good TE is a young QB's best friend
