whoever you were listening to you should stop listening to. The Bills have 3 DT's on the roster for 2025 at the moment not one. Good Grief.

so cooper didn't slip then? seems convenient to leave that out.

They would be sacrificing the premium picks for essentially 2 drafts back to back, the cap implications would cause them to lose at least 3 maybe 4 key players. This would also mean there is zero chance of keeping Groot. You think this is a good way to operate an organization?

What? Damn our fans hate Josh Allen. Amari Cooper slipped on the second down play. Had he not slipped it was a monster play, because he slipped and had to get going again Karlaftis was able to catch him. There was nothing ahead of Cooper but grass. Perfect play call, perfect execution in the blocking except Cooper slipped and lost his momentum. Our guys outcoached Spags on this play and it would have been the equivalent of the Allen game winning play in Buffalo in november vs the chiefs. if Cooper doesn't slip and gets going the Bills are playing the eagles.

How would the team handle the salaries of Metcalf and Garrett? They would have literally no draft picks in the top 5 rounds left this year and probably would be without a few for next year. This would also cost the team players next offseason. So a bunch of guys like cook/shakir/bernard and benford might have to leave because there is no money left. Then you couple that with having no draft picks to replace those players. exactly how is this a good way to run an organization?

they are absolutely not trading Kincaid. Slight overpay? He will count 32 million this year on the cap, how are you making room for that contract. He is a free agent next year, are you trading away and 2 and a 4 and then cutting other players to make room for him this year to have him walk next year. that would mean they traded a 2, 3, and 4 from the 25 draft for two wr who won't be on the team in 2026. this would be an epic mishandling of the cap and the roster and would set the team in a bad direction. The only way a guy like Metcalf would work in buffalo is if they traded him to buffalo for like a 4 this year and a 3 and 4 next year and buffalo gives him an extension and his cap numbers are small over the first three years and you live with huge dead cap hits when he is 31 and on. Mortgaging the future by giving away two more picks in this years draft and then letting multiple players walk because you can't sign them because you paid a wr in a trade again is a bad way to do business. They will never admit it but I bet they are pretty bummed they don't have that 3rd round pick in april after what they got out of amari cooper. Couple that with the Diggs drama and I bet it would take a minor miracle for the Bills to trade high picks and give huge money to a wr again. I imagine the draft is the way forward at the position.

He is a great player. Giving up a 2 and a 4 in a year you are rebuilding your defense and then being on the hook 32 million for that player is truly insane. If they made some deal that involved Seattle getting that number lower then the latter of our 2's would be ok. Before any trade would be made he would need a new contract. I just don't think they are going to sign up for DK metcalf at 32 million a year for like 5 years. What would it say to the other soon to be free agents on the team if they gave DK Metcalk 32 million a year? He will have to get traded to someone with a lot of cap space.

man I hope not. I really hope he has more integrity than that. Selling crappy products and being the spokesperson of soul less terrible corporations is just the worst. Hopefully he remains one of the good guys and wins a few championships and just continues to do charitable events and functions. Let someone else sell all these terrible products.

Yes. This is from a list of guys who might get cut for cap reasons. No way you trade for a guy like that. There are a few on the list though who fit the bill for buffalo no pun intended. Vets looking for prove it deals or older vets maybe looking to win.

No way. Giving up that 2 for that guy is insane.

This is kind of interesting. Green Bay Packers: Jaire Alexander, CB Alexander has played in only seven games each of the last two regular seasons because of four separate injuries. There may be a disconnect off the field that hasn’t become public, too, despite general manager Brian Gutekunst saying otherwise. Cutting or trading the two-time second-team All-Pro before June 1 would free up about $6.8 million in cap space. Alexander has the third-highest cap number on the team for 2025 behind quarterback Jordan Love and defensive end Rashan Gary. That may not be worth it for how little he’s been available and whatever else might be going on with the 28-year-old. — Matt Schneidman this too. Washington Commanders: Jonathan Allen, DT One season remains on Allen’s four-year, $72 million extension. The terms included a $22.47 million salary-cap hit but only a $6 million dead-cap charge. Washington has significant cap room regardless, but it also has DT Daron Payne counting north of $20 million and an Allen replacement in 2024 second-rounder Johnny Newton on the roster. Allen’s streak of healthy seasons ended with a pectoral tear, though he surprisingly returned before the playoff run. His power and pass rushing would be missed. However, his sack totals have declined annually since recording nine in 2021, and he is entering his age 30-season. — Ben Standig

Since you have Michael Irving on your list I think you should add Jason Whitten. No what I am saying.... We all need a laugh right.

Im not a fan of cooper's honestly but to be fair he just slipped. If he hadn't he might still be running like forrest gump. instead we all ended up shrimp boat captains.

trading all your picks away is the fastest way to become a bad organization

Yea thats the rub. If he is going to change who he is and become a finger pointer, he can leave today. The Bills should never again with this staff allow a player like that on the team. We never need to see a tweet that says "You Sure" again.

https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/top-100-2025-nfl-free-agents-tee-higgins-sam-darnold-lead-way in this list the two guys I would like to see the bills sign are ranked at 77 and not on the list... so if this ranking is even fairly accurate the two players I like should not be huge cap problems. There are a number of safeties on the list.

see that is the thing though. Not many have the traits and explosiveness he does. I am not sure where the bills would get a back that has them either considering where they pick and the fact that the roster probably will not allow a top 100 pick to be used for that position. Its a really tricky situation. The Bills line and TE/WR blocking is very good in the running game but Cooks ability to score from anywhere is different than most backs.

He is not an every down back but he has a quality that is hard to replicate. He is a home run hitter and makes big plays. He is very quick and explosive and this year his decision making and willingness to run inside put him over the top. Without a back that can do the same to replace him the offense would be very different. He turned a number of 8 to 10 yard runs into 20+ runs and at important times. If they pay him and I hope they find a way it will be for that trait. Comparing him to the traditional everydown back at 225+ who wears people down is the wrong way to view his value and worth to the team. I think his age and limited number of carries eases the concern about the fall off of old backs and his speed and explosiveness is a unique trait. The Bills have very few players who can get to the edge anywhere on the field and go to the house.

I wonder if John harbaugh got to watch the video of any of this like he did the Ray rice video. The video he was A-OK with.

Low hanging fruit or the shiny object if you will. You just need good ones that play well in your system and stay healthy.

They need a center fielder. They have two guys that are or appear to be better players going forward. rapp has proven he can not stay healthy and should not be relied on as a starter going forward imo. His best role is the one he had in 23. The third guy, the sub package guy. i hoping they sign a veteran in free agency. Love the idea of 24 year old SU grad Andre Cisco to come in and play center field here. the defense is going to change over the next four months personnel wise pretty considerably. we could see 1 or 2 new safeties 1 or 2 new corners possibly 6 new defensive lineman probably 3 new dt’s or so. They need a reliable vet at centerfield so the front 7 can be aggressive and play downhill.

The old saying, the second round is for criminals and medical issue guys

Just think one of those 4 is a parole officer. gives them a leg up on finding the criminals they love to draft.

For me personally. safety Andre Cisco. Makes plays on the ball, went to SU and is from Long Island. He is only 24 years old. His former DC in Jax is now on the bulls staff. He becomes the deep/free safety allowing bishop to play near the line and rapp to go back to being the third guy in sub packages. the problem here is spotrac is speculating Cisco is going to get 4 for 60. I am not sure the bills are willing to do that at safety. I am of the opinion the defense is about to get the same treatment the offense got after the loss to the bengals, be coaches added to the staff and a rebuild on the line of scrimmage. I think this might make them more willing to spend money at safety because it frees them up on draft day. my other player is Darius slayton. He brings the element the bills lack outside and is very explosive. He has the personality to fit in to the locker room. He has good size to go along with his speed. Not much smaller than Higgins. signing those two players along with hollins and Gilliam keeps the offense as is and improves it imo. I don’t think they pay Ty Johnson. these two signings free them up to attack the defensive line and corner. Plus if a wr slips to them that they love they can always draft him and make hollins a special teams guy.

After his surgery he was activated and then was allowed to work back in. off the top of my head he played against the lions, rams, pats, jets to finish the year. He was not a healthy scratch in the playoffs because as I stated many times in this thread he was a rookie 3 tech who had wrist surgery. He returned and seemingly gave it his best shot and he just wasn’t right. They had enough depth there to not force him on the field. next year I am going to remember all the people in this thread twisting his season to fit some narrative. players take time to develop. I mean as a fan of the bills alone, Bernard, brown, cook, shakir etc took some time to become the players they are. Bailing on Carter after his rookie season in which he had to have a wrist surgery is bizarre to me. i feel the exact way about Coleman. They are both going to be important parts of this team going forward. Which guys went last year in the fourth round and on who were/are better players than 21 year old Keon Coleman? just looking for a name to go with this repeated cliche.
