Ethan in Cleveland

You must know there are multiple ways to deal with his contract and make it happen. Please don't call people stupid.

Seattle probably said the same thing with Wilson 2 years ago. If you are not all in to win the SB now, then you are playing the wrong game.

Close your eyes and for a moment imagine the Jets drafting Allen. Then evaluate Beane's performance. It has been filled with ups and downs. Diggs trade was amazing. Keeping Milano and Johnson was good. The contracts for Star and Murphy and some of the other dead weight he has acquired have been really bad. Even the decent FA signings like Morse and Williams were overpriced. His drafts outside of Allen are good not great - Bass, Knox, Davis, Oliver all solid picks. Apparent terrible misses on Ford, Epenesa, and maybe Moss. Edmunds is a story in and of itself. Without Allen, it's conceivable both Beane and McDermott would have been fired by now. But even with their mistakes Allen makes up for all of it.

We have to reserve judgment until we see the entire body of work for Beane this off-season. If you just look at it today, then all you get is two special teams players re-signed and quality depth at LB and OL gone. The team is arguably worse today than it was after the season ended, other teams are already better, and some but not much improvement on the cap has been made. But it's early. It's ok to criticize the moves Beane makes but it is really hard to criticize the moves he doesn't make until we see how the whole off-season unfolds. That said, a player who would be a significant upgrade to our defense was had for a 2nd round pick and change. Yes he is expensive but his contract could have been reworked to make it happen.

Nope if they trade Edmunds I just want a draft pick this year. Get a 2nd round pick this year or a #1 in 2023. 3-4? Can;t see that happening. First they have no NT on the roster. Oliver likely can't play DE. And has McD or Frazier ever coached a 3-4? Not that I am aware of.

Rodgers, Dak, and Stafford. Is there any other capable QB in the NFC?

100% agree

Oh that is a good way of framing the question. I think I would take Lawson over Obada too

Yikes calling people clueless and being wrong on the basic facts is bold. His contract is guaranteed but the contract goes with him. He has zero dead cap if he is traded.

Not sure why he would want to come back here. The coaching staff screwed him over by playing Murphy ahead of him. Lawson was clearly the better player. Somehow he still got a great deal from the Dolphins and then the injuries set in. I think I'd still take Hughes on a 1 yr deal over Lawson for 2022. Jerry still got decent pressure just not the sacks. Basham came on towards the end of the season and seems to be a guy that could everything that Lawson would. At some point they are going to have to trust that at least one of these draft picks will emerge as a 10 sack guy. My priorities for the defense are CB#2, 1-tech DT, depth and youth at safety, and now depth at LB with Klein being released. Yes I would like to move on from Edmunds but unless they sign Wagner 2022 is not the year to make a switch at MLB. Too many other issues to address and maybe Edmunds had a breakout year in a contract year.

This is different. Guys like Wagner do not hit the open market often. He is a clear upgrade over Edmunds. He is everything that Edmunds is not. Edmunds will do more good in 2022 for the Bills if he is traded and the draft pick they get in return is used on a CB, DT, or OG

That's exaclty what I said to him. I dont think anything hurt worse than seeing Thurman in a Dolphins jersey. Who said they are committed to Edmunds? They are only committed until there is a better opportunity. Wagner is the superior player by far even at his age. Edmunds will never be anything more than an average MLB. Trade him and get a high pick to help the OL and or DL.

I stopped reading after hell no to Gronk.

Beane screwed up last year. If he is not all in this year to do everything to win the SB this year then he should be fired. He got the QB now go get the ring.

Trade Edmunds to Seattle for one of the picks they just acquired. My son is a Seahawks fan and he is just devestated today.

Please please go sign him and trade Edmunds away. Please dear God make this happen.

Thank you. I stand corrected. I was looking at the cap hits Seattle would incur but you are correct Buffalo's cap hits would be less. Still pricey for #2 WR and he will be 30 this year. I'd prefer Metcalf and the ability to sign him and Diggs to extensions. You are correct on this time period. I cant defend their moves because you are correct they have been terrible lately. All started with trading away Max Unger and some really poor first round picks.

He had a great beard and a great press conference. The board loved it and forgot he was a PED cheat coming off knee surgery. Terrible contract and even a worse decision than the guy that quit at halftime.

I agree. Beane had far worse FA signings like Trent Murphy. Klein was not too bad. 100% agree!

Coaching lost Bills the SB not the location. Neither SB participants was the #1 seed. Other than that I do agree the path to the #1 seed seems easier.

The Adams trade was so stupid. Agree 100% I'm telling you there will be something that comes out with Wilson someday. There are just too many whispers of him not being liked. Im thinking he is a locker room cancer. But still to give up on a franchise QB and keep one of the oldest HCs in the NFL is puzzling. There just has to be more to this story.

Lol. Two SB appearances and a win. What is your definition of competent? I agree. Lockets contract is an albatross. Metcalf could be had on his current deal and you can figure out the long term plan at WR later.

Good and necessary cap move. After his first few games where he was terrible, he improved a lot and there was no drop off between Edmunds and him.

Mack would be a splash but I don't see it happening so I chose Gronk which I do think has a chance of happening Agree. I love dual threat RB's and he has played better than I thought he would coming our of college. But at this point he is far too expensive and to take on that contract and give up high round draft capital is crazy.

One game further than Bills made it last year. Glass houses... Exactly. Rodgers is twice the QB Cousins is and yet the salaries are not that far apart
