Josh Allen took a paycut so Beane could extend Greg Rousseau lol.

Someone please show this tweet to James’ agent.

Imagine if one of those picks was good enough to command $30M per year. I shudder at the thought

A single 2025 second man. Woof.

Cold weather/asthma not so concerning I fear

How many games did Mack Hollins, Curtis Samuel and Keon Coleman have less than 80 yards? And shipped out their QB lol

Brutal. They are going for it

If you trade for DK and Brady can’t get him involved, then fire Brady.

RB’s are back to being undervalued again lol

If we are gonna play physical running offense and need a QB to throw for 3600 yards just to keep the chains moving, why not?

Then let’s trade Josh for Purdy and 4 1st rounders.

Josh Allen threw for the least amount of yards since 2019. DK’s role in the offense will be bigger than any individual receiver in 2024 because he’s better than all those guys. You don’t trade for DK and only throw him the ball 3 times.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence the Rousseau and Garrett extensions were within 24 hrs of each other. I don’t think that Beane necessarily chose between Rousseau and Garrett. I do think that Beane may have extended Rousseau once Garrett wasn’t an option. And lo and behold, it becomes clear Garrett wasn’t an option.

Yeah DK feels more likely to move than Garrett ever did. still a fair shot he gets paid and sticks around.

I’m not shocked he didn’t leave but I think this is a bad football move for the Browns. They will trade him 2-3 years from now for a pittance. The playbook for these dudes is obvious. Get the money now and figure out an exit strategy after.

I think Hendrickson is off the board for the Bills specifically. To me, there’s no one in FA I’d rather give $30M to than DK. I have to believe the LA teams are in the mix which is hard but we have the best QB. Depending on what DK is looking for for contract length, Buffalo may be his best shot to get paid AGAIN 3 years from now. I will be extremely sad if he goes to KC. I’m not sure they can make the financials work but that will actually break me.

Saves us 3.8M but why would they want him?

Yeah I think a couple extra mill and/or an extra pick will do well to convince them.

The odds of getting Garrett not zero two days ago. they are zero today. Right now. The argument was correct lol. No one was arguing that signing Rousseau prevented us from giving Joey Bosa a 1 year prove it deal. In fact, that may be the plan. It wouldn’t have been my plan. This is dirty pool. If we got Garrett or Hendrickson, you would take a victory lap. If we didn’t get either (which we won’t fyi), you would just say “well we got Joey Bosa for $12M”. You can’t lose lol. The Rousseau extension was a sign the Bills were never getting a $30M+ EDGE this offseason. Now maybe they COULDN’T and chose to extend Rousseau as an alternative. But that’s what the extension meant to me. THAT’S why it decreased the odds. It meant that avenue wasn’t available, one way or another.

I have no problem extending DK at this stage of the game. Especially if the choice is to give Amari $18M as an alternative. Worry about cap hits in 2028. Go win.

Sounds perfect for a team with multiple seconds to trade. Please Beane. Don’t be so afraid of how Diggs ended up to do this.

Well see, when I said “this extension is evidence the Bills aren’t gonna get Garrett” and you say “no that’s not true” and then of course the Bills don’t get Garrett, that’s kinda the end of it. Sure maybe the Bills get a Bosa or a Mack instead. Cool. Whatever. Garrett > Rousseau + whoever else they drag up combined. Which was the whole point.

Ding ding ding ding @Magox Hendrickson gone next. Rousseau extension was clear evidence the dream of the top 2 guys was ova.

The guy I’m debating just said: So if you have problems with minuscule odds, take it up with him.

I really admire your optimism. But I think to most of the folks that don’t like the deal, it is because they see this deal as closing the door on truly upgrading the EDGE position either through FA or trade. I think the odds that Garrett or Hendrickson is a Bill in 2025 went down after yesterday. You think it went up, but most of us just don’t see it.
