At least your being honest with yourself unlike those who speak of it like it's a forgone conclusion when it couldn't be further from reality.

I wouldn't consider picking up a 5th year option and re-upping him before the start of that 5th year is "waiting". It's a fairly common practice.

Agreed. Brandon Beane has proven time and again that he doesn't allocate premium draft picks or pay for RB's. No way he's doing both. Especially for a guy who's proven time and again he can't stay on the field. And especially after Singletary finished the season in the fashion he did. I see him looking at another Frank Gore, TJ Yeldon, Matt Breida like inexpensive veteran or a mid round pick. And that will be that for RB. I'm not convinced they will. I find it much more likely he's extended soon to lower his cap figure this season than it is he's traded.

No, it doesn't the post he replied to was saying he believes Beane is letting this year play out and going from there without being clear what he's going to do yet (and personally, I'm not convinced he's even that down on him). He wasn't saying he's definitely out the door after this season. I think you're reading it wrong.

Edmunds is on his 5th year option this year and Oliver is on his 5th year option next year. Yes, they can't which makes some of these laundry list of Superstar moves this season even more ridiculous.

It's much more likely that Edmunds will be extended to create cap space. And man, I can't wait to see some of your guys posts if/when it happens. Nothing about what Beane and McDermott has ever said and how they've used him makes me think he's viewed even remotely like his detractors on this board view him. Edmunds will not be traded. I'd bet the house. Who says they are moving on him from after this year?

Re-signing Milano and Williams is a far cry from trading for Barkley, re-signing Phillips, and signing Gronkowski and Chandler. He was very flexible last year and was able to make some moves. But I think that makes it harder this season. You can't restructure or paycut everyone year after year. I think he'll do some things and maybe get one or two of those guys. But this idea of "he can create space whenever he wants" isn't as easy as a lot of posters make it out to be. FA opens on Monday and we're still only 1-2 million under the cap. You can't even sign draft picks with that. The fact that were still sitting where we're at this close to the start of FA just goes to show it's not as simple as people are making it to be. And people are reaching Madden levels of ridiculousness.

Even if we were able to land ALL those people (unrealistic), even if Beane was on the same page with you and traded Edmunds (unrealistic), even if every possible way to free up every penny was able to be done and agreed upon by those players (unrealistic) - we still wouldn't have enough cash to make all of that happen. Saquon Barkley, Chandler Jones, Rob Gronkowski, Bobby Chandler, and re-signing Harrison Phillips is insanely unrealistic.

It's Saturday. Free Agency opens on Monday. Beane's gonna do some stuff between now and then to get some wiggle room to make moves. But THAT much? No way. "They can do anything they want" is such a minimizing thing to say. It's not that simple. You need to have the contracts to make it work for both parties and you need them to agree to it. If it were as simple as that, we'd have the space right now.

Apparently, I missed the memo that being 2 million under the cap actually means we're 50 million under the cap. We can make some moves to free up some money. But not THAT much. And there's a lot of you who are going to be really disappointed because Edmunds will be here this year and will most likely be extended to free up space. He will NOT be traded. Beane even acknowledged his detectors and made a point to say he doesn't agree with you.

So we lose Emmanuel Sanders, Isaiah McKenzie, and Cole Beasley and you have us signing no replacements in FA and not taking a WR in the first 3 picks? That's a bold strategy.

Benjamin Allbright has been wrong more often than he's right. I'm not *expecting* Chandler Jones - but Allbright saying something is or isn't going to happen is meaningless to me. I'd also add two things 1.) He's a Broncos reporter who seems to be hoping Jones is coming replying to a Bills reporter who seems to be hoping Jones is coming. So it might just be playful banter. 2.) If Jones does go to Denver, they aren't getting the Von Miller reunion like has been long suspected. And if Buffalo was going to pay for Chandler Jones, I'd imagine they'd be interested in paying for Von Miller as well.

Interesting thing to me is that the Broncos are in on him as well. Most people are convinced Von Miller is coming back to them. If so, they're out and they're the only other "contender" for Jones who's looking to play for a contender. Also can't help but wonder if the fact that they're in on him might point to Von Miller to the Broncos not being the forgone conclusion most are pointing to. And if not, maybe we're interested in him as well?

Honestly, this is the type of RB acquisition I'd expect. Very much the Frank Gore, T.J. Yeldon, Matt Breida inexpensive veteran type that Beane likes to bring in behind Singletary.

Who said it was going to be "shocking"? You can make a "big splash" without it being shocking. Von Miller, JC Jackson, Chandler Jones, Allen Robinson, Rob Gronkowski would all be big splashes.

Stopped reading after this. So many of you live in a fantasy land that there are no consequences or penalties for doing so and you're just plain wrong.

Thing that bugs me is that even if a coach didn't get word in to Bass, how did Bass not take it upon himself to check and somehow assumed that they wanted it kicked out of the endzone? Like as a Kicker, you'd think he'd stop and think "I probably should squib it or kick it short of the goal line to eat clock" or at the very least say "this is a big time situation with a number of options, what do you want me to do, coach?"

Yeah, miss me with the Berrios and Andy Isabella obsessions. I don't get it.

We're losing 4 of our 7 WR's from the 53 man roster last season. Whether it's a WR who is to be 2nd or 3rd in reps, a big time WR needs to be added in FA, Trade, or the Draft. And we'll still need at least a couple more to fill out the roster.

Dude, no. Obada was a nice little story that people got excited about. But the hype was a lot of sizzle but no steak, outside of the one game against the Panthers. He slid inside a number of times in a reserve role and didn't provide a thing. Being our starting DT? C'mon. He's a Free Agent and we're not using cap space on a guy who's role can easily be replaced by a late round draft pick.

Never trust a guy named Chad.

I mean, if he wants to come for peanuts and be our replacement to Efe Obada - okay. But we need something strong opposite Rousseau. Signing Lawson, Re-signing Hughes or Addison (at this stage in their careers), Epenesa, or Basham is not the answer. But I'm okay with Lawson being part of the 3 man rotation with Epenesa and Basham outside of the Starting 2 though.

Colts take a chance on Wentz and give him a bag. They IMMEDIATELY regret their decision. Washington be like "we'll take your bad decision on as our own!'.

Extend Stefon Diggs and Tremaine Edmunds - lowering their cap figure this season. Release Cole Beasley, Jon Feliciano, AJ Klein (done), Matt Haack, and Vernon Butler. Paycut/Restructure Daryl Williams and Mitch Morse Restructure any recently signed players that are open to converting to bonus' or pushing out cap figures. Re-sign Harrison Phillips and Ike Boettger. Tender Ryan Bates and Justin Zimmer. Focus on getting a legitimate starting veteran DE opposite Rousseau via Trade or FA. Sign or trade for a WR. Draft a speed WR with a Day 2 or early Day 3 pick. Draft CB Round 1. Get another RB and TE to compliment Singletary and Knox via FA, Trade, or the Draft. Sign best veteran QB who doesn't get a starting gig. Draft Punt God in Round 5.
