I think trading for a seasoned, proven top WR like Diggs wasn't about "couldn't find a WR in the draft". I think he wanted a guy who could help develop Allen and help him take another step at the 3rd year of his career (as opposed to a mature vet like Kirk Cousins who can help develop his WR). Pass rusher is a different issue, but who, that was reachable near our draft slot, would you have liked us to have taken? It's not just how great your scouts are, it's where you draft as well.

I agree, he likes the ladies Point is... for a football player during the season, there isn't a lot of time for clubbing, not if you take it seriously and hit the hypobaric chamber on the regular (and Diggs does take it seriously). As I said, if he wants ladies, Diggs can fly anyone he wants into Buffalo in his private jet with no risk of disappointment or misunderstanding. That jet can fly the ladies into Buffalo actually easier than bigger cities, more landing slots available.

I counted 53 with Shorter and Spector and with Fergeson cut.... I think if we IR them both and re-sign Fergeson, we're at 52 and then Ifedi would make 53 Which leaves no roster spots for either Isabella or Klein But, maybe I'm mistaken

consider the source always consider the source look at the guy who is spouting this stuff, Jason Whitlock: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Whitlock I mean, C'mon, we all have our political opinions and here isn't the place to air them, but this is a guy who publicly stated that "a lot of what (people with different political views from him) supports is Satanic". That's "few peas short of a casserole" talk IMHO. Diggs lives in the "private jet" tax bracket. He can put whatever women he wants on a jet and fly them into whatever city he wants, and have his people put a couple of cases of Dom Perignon on the plane if he can't buy the exact year he wants locally

Well, in general, GMs seem to want to keep your 3 free PS callups for later in the season. It's possible they think Gimpy and Limpy are close to being game-ready and Spector will IR. Still wondering about Klein though "expected to sign" isn't "signed" - it makes a difference, today and tomorrow If he signed right now, someone had to get cut. If he's on the roster, hold my 🍺

Superficially, my reaction was to laugh. But after looking at McCoy's recent performance, I think it makes sense, actually.

"expected to sign" not "signed" Betting he waits until after we can IR a couple guys We need 8 OL active on game day. Since they tend to get injured, 10 is not unreasonable - we've kept that many before How many DE and DT do you think we ought to keep? In case you've lost track, we've currently got 10 DL plus Von Miller on the roster.... so we should keep 11 DL plus Miller and only 9 OL?

?? Source ?? Well Hey Y'all. Lewis is On the Roster.

so....... If we sign him, IR two players (Shorter and Spector), and then re-sign Reid Ferguson.....what are we doing at LB? Are we really gonna go with 5 WR? Are we really gonna open the season with 5 LB - Dodson, Milano, ST ace Matakevich, then three guys nursing injuries at LB? Looking that way 😬

The Highlander plan at QB? Genius. Zappe cut, which was surprising to me.

Barkley already on IR and not on roster.

IIRC, he is someone I was interested in back in 2020 before he signed with Da Bears. He can play both G and T. He may be a bit of a better guard than a T (struggled with penalties playing T for the Seahawks), but as a reserve, he's got that experience we lack right now - 😘 By George, I Think He's Got It!

Take a Chill Pill. Despite his nod to Von Miller, it seemed pretty clear Lavonte David wanted to stay in Tampa where his kids are in school and stuff. Bobby Wagner wanted to "go home again" to Seattle. Drue Tranquill is someone the Bills could have signed, in theory. You got one there. Who are these "any average players" that you feel would be better than what we have?

Yes, but it's not a salary move. It's a roster move to place a player on IR- eligible to return, which requires the player to be on the 53 man roster initially. So tomorrow they place whoever (Spector? Shorter? both?) on IR and re-sign Ferguson (and possibly Klein)

Yes. The story is they initially got Seabiscuit a goat, and he responded by picking it up with his teeth and throwing it over the stall door. Potential new QB signings for the Bills, Beware.

Not a salary move

Could be wrong, but I think he'll have suitors and won't want to wait

That's what Joe B says.

Well, I would be in favor of bringing in Kirksey, so I'd love to see the source/tweet/X Kirksey love:

Hopefully not too massive. Since we play a nominal 4-3, we want to save our massive for DT and OL

OK, no need for those weekly game day threads. Someone on the Internet has Spoken Oh, Is He Now? Who reported this?

Holy Guacamole Batman! We kept 10 DLmen (plus Von Miller on PUP) and 11, count them, ELEVEN, DB Yowza. Klein is a vested vet and does not have to clear waivers. Spector will go on IR and Klein will come back tomorrow (IMO). IIRC, they usually give the guys who do them a "friendly" that way, a little "cookie" in the form of guaranteed $$ or a little extra bonus.

Sheesh, that's gotta sting. A couple years ago, guy was drafted in the 2nd round 61 overall. Today he just got traded for a 2025 6th round pick (not even a 2024 pick!) and the Bills had to give change in the form of a 2025 7th rounder. Personally I think Beane got fleeced a bit, but likely the rest of the league was aware that it was a bit of a "fire sale" since someone had to be cut.
