No_Matter_What

Title says it all. Recently many posters changed their mind and now want to extend Tremaine Edmunds. If you are in this group (or wanted to extend him even before), how far would you go? How much is he worth? Other names are for refence only, they might not be that relevant since those contracts are for different number of years and were signed in different times. Other linebackers (not able to remove edge rushing OLBs): https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/contracts/sort-value/linebacker/limit-100/ Bills 2023 cap situation: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/cap/2023/

This is NOT a good news imo, in a sense that it was very likely to be over $220M, so this just confirms it. Be we need it to be more, hopefully around $225M.

Today I don't have time to read that much - was there any word from McD why was Elam inactive or whether he was really a healthy scratch? Also, anyone noticed how much White played? I was watching in distractive environment so couldn't focus.

Agreed except of the Mahomes mention. Granted I don't live in the US but from what I watch Allen gets same recognition as Mahomes and he gets all the credit he deserves.

Edmunds was imo always a little better than he was given a credit for by an average Bills fan, but he looks really good to me this year. However, I still don't see how we pay him, and if we do, it will become increasingly complicated to navigate the cap. I said before the season that 2022 Bills are the strongest team we could field for the foreseeable future. I think we will be at least slightly worse next year - without Edmunds, Poyer and Singletary, or at least two of them. We will obviously compete but this is the peak imo.

Re Elam: Everybody please form a strict opinion immediately, don't even think about waiting for some comments from McD or something. Most important think is just to say something!

Is this a true story? That was a year that I slowly became a fan so I don't remember.

To be fair Von has 450 snaps and those 3 guys combined have 758, so the ratio is not that bad (Von is obviously Von).

Man I love you. Post of the year. This is not about @Process so don't take it personally. This is exactly what many posters on this board are about. If Beane gets top CBs and Von Miller then why didn't he get WRs and OL. Had he made different choices, then people would be saying that he should've get top passrusher. We have Daboll, he sucks, we need young offensive mind. We get one, he sucks, we need Daboll back. Rinse repeat.

And now tell me our 2nd round picks aren't producing! Zay Jones!

Omg Mike White looks so good, almost as good as Tua. If Mac Jones takes another step, we may end up being bottom feeders of AFC East for a long time. Just trying to go with a flow.

No, it's the opposite. When you put a player on IR, you count his whole cap hit. And then you need to add cap hit of player who replaces IR player. Check out Sportrac. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/cap/ Benford on IR counts, and so does Rhodes. He only has about 350k cap hit, but it is still 350k more than before when Benford was on the roster. We are very close to zero cap space btw. We need someone to come back from IR asap otherwise Beane will need to restructure somebody.

Exactly. I lurk there from time to time and there are lot of Tua>Allen and Dolphins and Chiefs are the best NFL team takes. If you are a Bills sceptic it's never too late to hop on Dolphins bandwagon.

He also called Mike Love by number only and had no idea who he was. Plus that Dane Jackson budding superstar nonsense. I am sure that there were lot of other things as well. I tend not to get annoyed by any commentators, so I don't mind him. I just think it is very unprofessional to be unprepared. I know I know nothing about players on other teams, but I am not being paid millions for that. He's just not prepared as he should be (he isn't the only one ofc).

Thank God we have you to tell us what reality is. Without you I'd foolishly think that we are still an elite team dealing with lot of unluck and adversity.

This is spot on. Things look a little gloomy right now but this team is still exactly what I thought they were. We are just little unlucky, have too much injuries and Josh's elbow is clearly not ok. This will be entirely different team come playoff time, provided that we will be at least reasonably healthy. On the other hand, at this stage I am really afraid that injuries won't go away. Everytime we get a starter back we lose another one. So there will be injuries, and we can just hope that not to crucial players. I'd include Allen, Diggs, Morse, Dawkins, Miller, Rousseau, Milano, Edmunds, White and Poyer in this category.

Interesting, I thought White was already out after first drive. I'd like to know if Elam was also on a pitch count, or if they really prefer Benford at this point.

Monday tests? Is it Sunday already? Lol

Well I don't know The one which is better scenario.

If it's MCL what's the best case scenario time wise?

I missed it. He wasn't there last drive? Was Elam playing?

One of the worst I've ever seen. Unless I am missing someting.

Lol what was the plan with Shakir there.

Wow this was most straight McDermott I've ever seen. On both topics.

We need to blitz more! Not.
