Chaos

Well, we know one NFL GM valued Edmunds quite differently.

Its on the internet, it must be true.

Rodgers to the Patriots

Spending more than the NFL minimum salary on backup QB for this roster is insane. If Allen is gone, we lose.

There is merit to your point. However we came into the 2022 season overwhemling favorites to win the Super Bowl. That was the last hurrah of chapter 1. And that ship has sailed. The Bills may not even be favored to win the division in 2023.

Other than Allen, it is. The book is about Josh.

Pretty unhappy with McDermotts "You can never replace Tremaine Edmunds" comments. Is he is laying the groundwork for 2023 failures on defense excuses? He can't possible think Edmund's can't be replaced.

For better or worse, they will get to finish Chapter 2. another 4 or 5 seasons. If Chapter 2 includes a Super Bowl win, both will likely be in Buffalo for as long as they want. Even if they don't win a championship Sean McDermott could very well be our Jeff Fisher.

except maybe in the playoffs

Sort of the same as Chapter 1

White and Dawson and Von Miller were three of our highest paid players last season. The level of production we got out them (Miller was zero after injury), is one of the key reasons we floundered in the playoffs. If you look at what the Chiefs, niners, Eagles and Bengals got out of their top paid players, the difference is astounding.

This is an expected administrative move the team needs to make to comply with the Salary cap. It is something 31 other GMs would do if they were here. This benefits the players and takes zero negotiating skill to get them to agree to it. People seem to be repsonding to these moves as if we have $50 million of cap space to sign top end free agents at multiple positions.

"Chapter 2 - Special Teams for the Win"

This is a silly take. McGovern is clearly among the top 64 Guards in the league.

Mcgovern is a huge improvment on Saffold on true passing sets

We save $6 mm on the cap by cutting Morse. We all know that if we roll with Morse as our starter next season, a good chunk of his 11mm cap hit will be on the sidelines for a number of games. And if he is on the field, it is likely his play will deteriorate further. We really should be looking at better options at center.

The first Chapter of the Josh Allen era had some great successes, annual playoff appearances, a championship appearance, and some moments of dominance. The defining feature of the rest of the team was the emphasis on the Frazier-Edmunds defense scheme. This chapter is completly closed with today's signing of Edmunds by the Bears. As we being Josh Allen Era - Chapter 2, what will be the Bills primary emphasis be to get better results in Chapter 2, than Chapter 1. I was not a huge Frazier or Edmunds fan, but they provided the teams most recognizable elements (aside from Josh himself) ?

Not clear he is worth 4 million of cap space vs a different JAG RB.

It will be interesting to see if Edmund ages on the bears.

I am surprised. THought RB was an easy pistol to save more cap by cutting him.

Your level of envy is amazingingly high. Are you actually green colored?

In the unlikely event Branch drops to 27, the Bills should select him. And I am an offense first guy.

Reading comprehension is important. Read the post I was replying too.

And how should they have addressed the QB situation last year?
