I’m not on the “fire Beane” bandwagon … but it’s an ordinary look happening with 2 guys they just signed IMO… having them both miss the first third of the season is far from ideal …
The longer it goes the more he will get paid …
If they don’t get a deal done in the off-season. …might as well wait and see if they struck gold on their rookie before paying Benford
You are confusing your opinion for fact ..: this is quite clearly not the case ..
I’ll start my research right now … who do you want as the CB3 instead ?
I think your criticism is over the top…considering his time playing here previously …he’ll be fine as the expected CB3… provides a bit of insurance if the Rookie has some difficulty “learning the playbook”….
Very predictable move …. Particular with the injury concerns with Samuel ….
im ok with it …no superstar but can do a job if required ….they loved him when he was here …7th Round pick etc .
I’m expecting someone to be picked in the Top 60 …they need to make sure of it this time …so Beane might even make a bigger trade up than he has previously if they are in love with someone in the first …
I also think they like Ingram as depth … but if they have any picks left going into the 5th they might draft another guy to compete with him
Yeah … I do hate these kinda stories … the Bills seem to get linked to everybody on the market …
I heard Beane say something that they enquire about a lot of players with other teams and agents … so easy for some juorno to spin that into saying they are “interested “ when they are just doing due diligence..
Yeah …they might … I would probably be leaning Dane Jackson though to replace Elam and onto the draft they go to replace Douglas …. A bit risky considering the last big name CB they drafted
The first factor as to whether they qualify is the money … they need to get around a minimum of $2.8m a year ( from memory last year )…. Haven’t seen the money yet for Clapp and Toohill but my guess would be that they will be under this figure
You need to have an overall loss of qualifying players though ,,.. they are going to have signed more than they lose this year ….only one they have lost so far is Hollins
