Ethan in Cleveland

I would trade a 3rd for Russell Wilson. Draft Marvin Harrison Sign Mike Evans to s 3 yr deal Sign Henry to a 2 year deal Keep Jones as a backup for one more year Use rest of the cap and draft on OL and DL

Exactly! The second outside WR should be the fourth in targets behind Diggs, the slot WR, and then the TE position. He should have the highest TD/rec and Yds/rec rate. He should be your explosion guy. Not a high volume catch guy. When Davis was at his best that is what he was. I think the KC playoff game changed the philosophy at OBD. They decided that Davis could be a true WR1a and he just is not. He doesn't run all the routes, he doesn't run his routes well, and his hands were suspect. Let Shakir be Beasley 2.0. Between him and Kincaid they can get 125-140 catches playing out of the slot. Draft your WR#2 this year. Let him play opposite Diggs and enjoy single coverage his entire rookie year. Groom him to be WR1 in a year or two.

Hard pass. Get younger and cheaper at WR

Draft chart says if you drop say 12 spots from 28 to 40, that is a net value of 160 points. 160 points is mid to late 3rd round pick. It can be done. Bills might need to kick in one of their late day 3 picks to make the math work.

100% agree. I'd rather trade out of the bottom of the first round and get an extra day 2 pick. I dont care about the 5th year option now. Allen's best years will be gone in 5 years. Need cheap talent infusion now.

I'd be ok with edge in round 1. WR is deep. They can find an impact WR in round 2.

Evolution is a good thing

Why release him? Makes no sense. You can trade him and get the same cap savings if you really want the cap room over the player.

I will take a few Lombardi's and the players hating Pegula

I was an econ major in college. The answer is either it goes up, goes down, or in most cases it depends. In this case it depends. If he gets to the SuperBowl and his defense collapses again, there is a 13 second repeat, or he botches the game management then I would fire him and hire Belichick the next day. If they just lose and it is not coaching related, then he comes back for 2025. The Tony Dungy parallels with this guy are just so disheartening. It will take Allen willing this team to a playoff run and SuperBowl championship to overcome McDermott. Then McDermott can thank his God like Dungy did even though we all know this team is all about our savior Josh Allen!

No thanks. Draft two WRs this year. Get young and cheap.

It is an interesting proposal and I would like to see the NFL try it in a couple seasons of preseason games before actually implementing it. It seems like it would be safer. I am generally not a fan of more special teams impact on games. I want less. KC probably doesn't win the SuperBowl if some scrub gunner doesn't let the ball hit his foot on a punt. Do I really want to see Josh Allen score a TD only for the bottom feeders on the roster to give up a kickoff TD return on the very next play? I'd be fine if they just did away with the kickoff and did something like the 4th and 25 as an option instead of an onside kick.

100% agree. He has been awful for a few years now Lol..Berman has been a caricature of himself for almost a decade now.

Perfect analysis! I would only add one thing to your last paragraph. The two parties may agree to a lower salary but also build in performance bonuses so the player can earn back the total of his previous deal. This is exactly what White and Beane should do. If they cut White, his value in free agency may be very little. So he would be wise to lower his salary this year, take it in a lump sum and then add some performance escalators. Otherwise he gets cut, Bills take the dead cap hit but save overall cap space, and White probably has to wait until next season to sign a practice squad deal coming off two major injuries.

It's called dead money for a reason. Once you pay the signing bonus you have to account for it. That is done over the length of the remaining years on the contract. A restructure can be done anytime but it doesn't impact the dead money that needs to be accounted for at some time. A guy can agree to a pay cut instead of getting cut. Morse did this a couple years ago. They may do the same with White instead of just cutting him. That can lower his cap figure for this year because it is salary money.

I read that article and I was shocked to read that Don Banks died at age 57. I guess I just did not realize he was gone. His Banks Shots column was a frequent read for me back in the day. I assumed he had retired. I liked King. He was a bit of a Patriot homer but he was fair. He liked Buffalo especially the training camp atmosphere that has somehow transcended owners, coaches, GMs and Presidents of football operations.

Allen, Mahomes, Reid, McDermott One of those four is not like the other three End of thread

Ferguson isn't worth mentioning with the exception of his ankle injury in 1980 playoffs. If he is healthy, that defense and Cribbs wins a SuperBowl over a weak Eagles team.

Kelly isn't even in the top 20 of NFL QBs For his era he was outside of the top 5, behind Montana, Elway, Aikman, Young, and Marino. Kelly was perfect for Buffalo and perfect for the Kgun. He was gutsy and could play in the cold playoff weather. Allen is better in every possible way. We are lucky to have two HOF QBs and Kemp was great for the city of Buffalo as well.

So in the Superman movie his clothes get burned off on the oil rig fire. But somehow his cape and suit are unharmed just as he is. Do they ever explain in the comics how it is that his suits are also impervious to bullets, fire, nuclear bombs, and such??? So in the Superman movie his clothes get burned off on the oil rig fire.

You can and I do enjoy watching him play. Part of the entertainment of the NFL is we can all be Monday morning GMs and HCs. We know enough and watch enough to have good entertaining discussions about the team personnel and the game strategy not just the performance. That isn't the same for MLB, NHL, or NBA. I hope people can enjoy this teams talent and level of success while also yearning for more. Honestly what hurts me more is not the playoff losses, but the season killing injuries to some of our best and favorite players. That has been far harder for me at least than the eventual playoff loss with McDermott.

Still too reckless with the ball but he makes up for it with his legs. He is the best QB in franchise history. He can still get better. I just hope he stays healthy enough to outlast McDermott's hold over Pegula.

For what it is worth I don't hate the Chiefs or their fans. I am jealous of them having a great coach. If we had Reid, Allen would have at least two rings, maybe more. You have a great coach. We have a great person who is a terrible coach who has robbed the Bills fanbase of at least two trips to the SuperBowl. Even with the Chiefs better roster, I beleive a more competent HC(I wanted Harbaugh and said so two years ago) doesn't allow 13 seconds to happen and doesn't get his defense abused repeatedly by Mahommes.

He's never going to be a top edge rusher. He would have shown that by now. But on the off chance he will then you can tag him. He has two years at a reasonable price to prove he is anything more than an average DE. The comp pick is just added bonus for not taking on another bloated contract for an average player. I assume you are happy they got an extra third round pick by letting Edmunds walk.

He is a good player. He is just not a good enough pass rusher. Davis is good too. But neither have shown enough to warrant long term investment. They can replace with cheaper talent two years from now. And if he explodes over the next 2 years then tag him.
