We haven’t had that since Doug Whaley’s famous “ 3 starters off the bus “ draft in 2016.. Shaq Lawson, Reggie Ragland and Adolphous Washington… https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/05/11/doug-whaley-believes-bills-drafted-at-least-three-day-one-starters/

You think they pick him for the Hall of Fame?

I was at the last Bills London game in 2015… Not great memories… I recall that they trailed by a lot and then should have won the game

Just do it even if TB doesnt want him...

Lotta people here don’t care about what other teams night think…they just propose trade ideas about what suits best for the Bills…they don’t seem to realise that both teams have to be satisfied with the trade outcome… Getting rid of Oliver frees up some money so just trade him…he is the 2023 Zac Moss who was included in every cockamamie trade proposal last year..

Well.. obviously they decided on the certainty of having Shaq on cheap deal now rather than waiting and seeing who is available in a month and whether they want to come to the Bills… for more money … Ingram was on $4m last year …

They can’t wait that long … he may still decide to not come here or even retire so what do they do then?

Yeah .. but Ingram isn’t gunna take $1.7 M to come here …would also cost them their comp pick I think …

Bernard gunna be in his face so bad next year,,,

$4m clearly wasn’t enough … was that Beane’s offer?

$15 M guaranteed… yikes .. Jets fans now all saying that they never wanted him anyway…

This doesn’t seem to happen very often…

Imagine if they had of gone 16-0 and then got blown out like that in the playoffs at home…

It’s just clickbait… take it with a grain of salt… Also says they would move up for “interior OL” but apparently not an OT? Someone is making stuff up…

Obvious… Right..

Think this is a bit more realistic… doubt they give back a third …

Ok thanks… In my opinion..they probably would have let Edmunds walk after his 4h year rather than tag him or match even $12m a year which some team would have offered him …as you say …2022 was by some margin his best year..and not sure they would have paid him more than Milano was getting based on Edmunds play prior to last year… another factor in picking up his 5th ..probably wanted to lock him in for another year guaranteed in the middle of their SB window… Picking up Oliver’s 5th year deal has backfired …. No arguments there I guess in hindsight it’s clear which way they should have gone… to be fair though it’s tougher to make the decision at the time… They’ll have to make the call on Rousseau in 12 months… another tough decision…hope he can have a big year this year..

We had a really unfortunate year with injuries … so yes this was a factor . And we certainly didn’t have much luck… I think we need to include better coaching … some flexibility around D Scheme… a bit more patience on O to take what’s on offer rather than bombs away… I think both of these will happen next year …

Can you explain in a little more detail what you mean around mismanaging the 5th year option say for Oliver and Edmunds…?

I’ve never watched the highlights of the ‘21 loss to the Chiefs… Maybe one day I’ll relive that… I might wait until after they actually win a Championship… Dont think I’ll ever revisit the 22 loss to the Bengals… that was just vomit…

Yes… I acknowledged that later in the thread that they wouldn’t have signed Miller if that was the case …Same thought occurred to me a few minutes after I posted originally .. The ring from 2021 ? Yeah maybe …

No.. they will keep Davis

Yeah I agree… you don’t do the Von deal if you are going to pay an elite DT the next year .. Only positive I can take out of this is that Oliver sees what money these guys are making and really pins his ears back this year to get a new deal.. won’t be from us though

No he is not.. But looking at this deal …they wouldn’t be able to afford to pay Oliver if he was at this level…

Ok.. … As we saw last year from Beane… he will move up to get someone at a position of need … so it wouldn’t totally surprise.. I’m not aiming this at you, but I think some people here don’t really appreciate what it takes to move up in the first round… they seem to think the Bills can get from 27 up to the mid teens by throwing out a couple of Day 3 picks…
