No_Matter_What

Nope, I am just not a native speaker. I actually spent like 2 minutes trying to figure out how to say it properly and apparently I failed Just wanted to say that he will never participate in SB again.

I can assure you that I don't belong to the "we invested too much to defense" category - I understand that it does not matter what we did in the past, we just need to do what is best moving forward. If that is drafting 3 DL in first 3 rounds, so be it. However, I do think that key to our success is OL. I'd say draft one high and get best one you can in FA. If Scherff is too expensive, then get the next one. But we can get him for 13AAV I'd do it in a heartbeat. Where did you get 12M? I said Sportract has him at 12,9M, and I suggested 40/3. Maybe its too low, I don't know. If it is 16M, then thats obviously too much. Get the second best OL then

Where do you take this from? Sportrac has him at 12,9M. Let's say it's 40/3, with cap hit first year 10M. Count me in.

I have honestly no idea what you are trying to say but whatever it is you lack sample size to draw any conclusions.

Trust me I know our cap situation. I played with that a lot. We can sign Scherff if we make it a priority. And yes I would do that instead of passrusher and CB. Re-sign Bates and Phillips, sign servicable CB, draft WR, OL and CB in first three rounds. That's my plan. I don't think we can get/pay difference maker at DE in FA, so I'd focus on difference maker in OL.

Doesn't matter, Bengals with Burrow will never play in SB again. Good question is how much money are BILLS going to offer Brandon Scherrf. I am hoping that it will be enough to get him here. Top ILO FA would be my highest offseason priority.

This is like asking if you would rather be a businessman making good money or random lottery ticket winner after you already know which lottery ticket won. Your question is silly.

Hyperbole much? Beane is not doing nothing. He is building the team in another way than the Rams. I wonder what is your opinion on 13 seconds. I guess you knew we were going to lose before that happened because we didn't trade for Von Miller so we obviously couldn't win the SB. I wonder how is even possible that all 8-12 contenders just don't trade for some difference maker at deadline. They would all win SBs so they didn't have to care what happens in the future.

Because going "all in" does not guarantee that you win the whole thing, that's why. And if you don't, you don't have the trophy and you don't have the team for the next try. You act like the Rams were destined to win it no matter what. If it was that easy, all teams would replicate them. But guess what, only one team can win. It's game of inches. One play (today, in NFCCG or against Tampa) goes other way and now we would be talking how everything what Rams did was for nothing.

My hot take: This was the last SB Joe Burrow has ever played.

We need to be luckier at that game of inches.

Do we know the money? Or is it somehow set since he was an ERFA?

Oh yeah we do! I hope that Bills come one day. And Germany is much better for me than London.

Agreed. I don't understand all the talk about this guy. I look at his numbers and age and I have no idea why people are willing to overpay for him. If he comes for "free" then so be it but I don't think that is the case. Otherwise I see a ton of other options how to spend our limited cap space. Best IOL available would be a good start.

Thanks for doing these again. IIRC last year you went into more detail with respect to FA and possible scenarios in each position group. There is one thing I don't get - when you talk about Jaquan Johnson as potential cut candidate due to savings. That sounds weird to me. I don't think you "save" anything when you cut someone making less than a million. You need to replace that guy. Cutting him does not help our cap situation at all. If anything, we NEED to keep guys like him. There is no point in cutting him, unless we sign someone better for same price (which is very unlikely imo), or if we plan to upgrade the position (which doesn't make sense to me since he is a backup who almost never sees the field). I am really confused.

This is very interesting topic and my only contribution is that I have no idea My only guess is that if WE sign him, it will not be for more than 5-6M AAV. But I have no idea how realistic that is.

That is really a nice list and I'm sure Beane will sign somebody. I expect some cheaper vet. What I am more interested in is list of available IOL FA.

What kind of source is this? It just seems like a random info out of nowhere. Are they working on a deal? Are they getting closer? Is this what he wants?

This Stackpole guy at CBS has us taking OL Kenyon Green. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2022-nfl-mock-draft-malik-willis-rides-impressive-senior-bowl-week-into-top-10-saints-steelers-also-add-qbs/ @GunnerBill how do you see him and which position do you project him in NFL? Would you consider drafting him if you were Bills? There are Booth, Williams and Penning still on the board when we choose btw. That would be hell of a choice for us.

Williams isn't going anywhere imo. We need to upgrade the line, not make it weaker. He was solid at guard second half of the season and he is fine as backup tackle. I'd re-sign Bates, bring in Scherff or other best available FA OG, draft IOL in first 3 rounds and still keep Williams. OL has to be a priority.

I just saw walterfootball.com mock draft. They have us taking LB Damone Clark, LSU with the following comment: "The Bills must improve at defending the middle of the field. Tremaine Edmunds has been a huge bust as a former first-round pick. Damone Clark could be the next great LSU linebacker with his size and speed." I find it interesting since I don't remember reading anything remotely negative about Edmunds from anyone outside TBD. https://walterfootball.com/draft2022_1.php

I don't understand why there is a game. Just name the best players and that's it. It would also solve the "alternates" issue.

I think Edmunds is better than people here generally give him credit for. If we get rid of him, this defense will get worse unless we somehow draft some stud or pay a lot to someone else in FA. That being said, I'd strongly consider trading him, and if not, I'd strongly consider not extending him. We will not be able to pay everybody, and we just have to let go some guys. And I'd probably rather keep and pay Knox and Oliver (which will not be easy anyway).

I have to admit I have never understood this logic. Is it something what you'd consider, or you do assume that NFL teams consider it? Anyway, can somebody explain me why does it matter at all if someone runs 4.40 or 4.30? I mean there are years of tape on each prospect, why is it relevant how fast someone runs in specific conditions? Everybody can see on the tape how fast someone runs on the field, if he can outrun defenders, creat separation, catch the ball, etc. I am not saying it has no merits I just don't understand it.

I'll stop you right there. Dolphins are not picking in the first round this year.
