it’s a real possibility, but I think we’d have to include a mid round pick next year and a late rounder this year. Some combination like that along with Diggs in order to get a 1st Houston and Dallas are both teams that I can see doing this. Jones already said he’s “going all in” and Texans may want a veteran for Stroud (+rumors about this already) 23rd or 24th overall for Diggs + 3rd in 25 + 6th this year seems like a fair trade IMO While not likely, if this were to happen…. we could walk out of Round 1 with 2 of Brian Thomas Jr / Troy Franklin / Legette In addition to that….maybe you get super lucky and the Colts let Pittman hit UFA. In his prime, put up quality production with bottom tier QB play. Already has a friendship with Allen. A 5 year 100 mil deal + void years can make the cap hit for the next few years fairly low. Pittman seems to catch everything. We badly need more of that Pittman Jr. Brian Thomas Jr Troy Franklin Shakir now if Diggs stays, I’d still TRY to acquire a quality WR on the market or via trade & I would still draft WR in Round 1 + another in Round 2-4

Never know with their owner, but very true

& that is from below avg QB play! Just hitting his prime no you wouldn’t need to clear 60 million. Give him a 5 year deal for 100 Million. + void years. Can lower the hit to 10 million or so for 2024 if you want it’s possible Josh Allen will at least mention him to Beane as someone he’d like since they are friends I don’t expect it to happen. Would be interesting though! We can at least invest multiple high picks at the position if we don’t land an impactful WR via UFA/Trade

I don’t expect him to sign here. But, if he did I think it would be very impactful for playoff games

Derrick Henry would help this team make the SB

Not dominate but it would certainly help them

in what reality are those 3 players better than Chris Jones? Guess they factor in age….but still

it can if the Bills want it to. This can give us the opportunity to at least pursue a higher level of UFA’s. Cap hits can be spread out with void years. An extra 13 mil is 1 or 2 starters depending on position

getting Sweat and Carter would be quite nasty!

Not sure how unpopular it is, but we need to take some big swings on Offense.

We didn’t sign any high priced vets last year? Certainly not on offense. Beane’s goal (if Diggs stays) should be Mike Evans / Michael Pittman Jr / Trade if you miss on those, at least get Curtis Samuel or Darnell Mooney who are instant upgrades from Sherfield as a floor with potential to be very impactful. AND regardless you get a WR in Round 1 + another in Round 2-4

I would wait on Von. If he gets his confidence back he can still be an impact player for us

Hahaha don’t worry, I’m sure the Bills have someone with a green visor counting the pennies that can be completely disregarded! we are going on a SPENDING SPREE baby Park Place & Boardwalk! Then pass GO, collect 200 million and do it all over again🤣 Castor Troy for Asst GM! Spend that $$$ baby. Wrong movie oh well haha In bleak reality this just makes it more likely Beane shells out 17 mil a year to keep Gabe Davis

if the cap keeps going up, dead hits are much less impactful

no it’s not? After June it’s a 7.4 mil hit. They save around 19 million for the summer

Now that this is official, the next 3 weeks around the league will be entertaining

I wonder if the Bills would do something like this with anyone

IMO I'd rather try to land Mike Evans or Michael Pittman Jr than go after an expensive safety. The market is going to be flooded with starting safeties. We should be able to get someone like J. Chinn, Brandon Jones or Mike Edwards for a reasonable amount

Some teams will be willing to make him the highest paid Defender in the league. He might be worth it Dallas. Houston. Chicago

Go play in the NFC!

If the Bills are interested, Michael Pittman Jr is now a possibility considering his age, growth, ability and friendship with Josh Allen

MIKE EVANS COME ON UP!!!! honestly if we could find ANY way to get Chris Jones here it should be explored. With the cap increasing this much, I think we can create around 40 mil in space realistically that extra 13 million should give us enough to go after 1 quality UFA if we so desired

Floyd still got good $ though

This would be unacceptable IMO

With that idea in mind, IMO this is fairly realistic Diggs = Diggs Franklin > John Brown C. Samuel = E. Sanders Shakir = Beasley I've been wondering about him, I thought he was still under contract with the Saints? If the guy is healthy I'm interested EDIT: He's not a UFA "Thomas has played just 20 games in the last four seasons, has found himself in conflict with his Saints bosses, and last season settled for a salary reduction from $15.5 million to $1.165 million (but with a massive roster bonus of $32 million as part of some cap manipulation, still a sign of a coming goodbye). He did manage to play in 10 games and caught 39 balls for one TD, so he was largely insignificant." https://www.si.com/nfl/cowboys/news/dallas-cowboys-blockbuster-trade-new-orleans-saints-michael-thomas-proposed-media-move-fit-rumor-dak-prescott https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39539615/saints-offseason-jameis-winston-michael-thomas-rashid-shaheed-more WR Michael Thomas Thomas isn't a free agent, but he has major roster bonuses built into his contract that would facilitate a release. Thomas was once a key part of the Saints' offense, but he hasn't played a full season since 2019. Thomas was also arrested last season after an altercation with a local contractor over a parking issue in his neighborhood. Thomas played 10 games in the 2023 season before being placed on injured reserve for the rest of the season with a right knee injury. Considering his salary and his injury history, he likely could be looking for a fresh start. 2024 status: Under contract What the Saints might do: Likely release
