    I'm much less enthused by this signing. He'll be 31 in June and coming off a down year. Feels very similar to the Daquan Jones signing last year which I also was not a fan of. Beane really can't help himself with this type of player. The one saving grace is that it is again a 1 year deal so I guess it doesn't hurt. FWIW PFF graded him as the 150th best DT last year with a 49.4. As others have said he's a more natural fit in a 4-3 so maybe he can return to form.


    There are some things you can set your watch to in life, and Beane panicking and guaranteeing extra money to middling D linemen is one of those things.  He’s gonna do it every year, it’s the curse of Gettleman’s Ghost (still alive I know).  Beane also HATES going into the draft with any obvious needs - so I also expect a corner signing is imminent.

     

    That said - this guy is a bully who was totally miscast in a 3-4.  He’s a very poor man’s Chris Jones (i.e. Vernon Butler) and it’s only a one year deal.

    He’s probably the highest ceiling vet we could’ve added at this point.  I don’t see Hendrickson as an option.  I should be really excited about this, as he was on my wish list, but I have visions of him being injured come playoffs.  
     

    He’s a needle mover and I give Beane credit.  If he can land Adebo, he’ll have done a good job.  We’d be able to draft 2 DTs and a WR rd 1-2.


    Adebo long gone Giants.

    "Injury prone" is a fallacy if applied to future prospects. Yes, Bosa has been injury prone, but that doesn't mean he will continue to be., as long as he's healed up. Why would he be more likely to hurt his ankle or back or shoulder than any other player? Because he's unlucky? That's voodoo talk. For all we know, he could be the healthiest player in the league going forward. 


    Well that’s just false.  Players are not coins - their injuries are not independent events.  He was overused in SD and seems a bit … muscly.  If the league agreed with your theory he would’ve gotten a $100m deal.

    Bosa is a high risk, high reward type of signing. He is coming off the most pressures he's ever had in a single season with 39, and he only played in 14 games. That's about 3 a game. Question is who are they lining up outside the LT? Both Groot and Bosa typically line up outside the RT. 


    How is he a high risk signing???

    It was never even in my periphery that the Bills would be interested in him, but I was on a Chargers form the other day just reading comments about various things, and Bosa was obviously a big talking point.

     

    The fan consensus over there is that he is completely toast. That he struggled to make a difference even when healthy and that his best days are far gone. Also a lot of talk about him being good for a penalty per game.

     

    I remember thinking, I feel bad for whatever team pays him.

     

    Oops.


    He’ll be on a much tighter pitch count in Buffalo which hopefully helps him regain his form.  To my mind this is much lower risk than paying Sweat $100M.

    Ok that wasn't fair. Coke jokes are fun tho...

     

    Anyway, it is my understanding that the Bills put offers to everyone they wanted to bring back, which is literally most every free agent and at an offer they'd like - and there has been little to write down about Cook but I don't know much there 

     

    Evidently the off-season map started a long time ago and included the values of every player they had and who they wanted. They made the offers to their guys open ended. They extended offers to people they wanted. They are waiting the game now.

    The few times I have watched the Palmer he's looked like a solid player. His production hasn't been bad through 4 years but it is not been spectacular either. Still very young at age 26 this upcoming season and while a bit of an overpay (hey that's free agency) he does fit the type of player the Bills need at WR (a true WR that operates on the boundary). So hopefully he blossoms with Josh. 


    He is almost identical to Slayton in terms of being a capable but borderline replacement-level boundary guy who teams will always trying to be upgrading on.  Even got the same exact contract as Slayton.  He’s a stopgap.

  8. Idiotic responses in this thread aside, I am glad Keon wants to be great - he clearly does.  But this offseason is the most critical point in his entire career.  If he puts in the work, there is a golden opportunity in front of him - very little competition in that WR room even if they draft someone (big “if” with this regime, they have some kind of allergy to the position).  Keon needs to work hard and seize the day or else they’ll move onto other options quickly and he’ll be chasing that pole position for the rest of his career.  Life comes at you fast in this league - blink and you might miss it.  Huge few months ahead for that young man.  Same with Bishop tbh.

    Mack won us games and won our hearts!  Now he’ll need to drop some passes when it counts! Unfortunately that’s not on his Bills resume.

     

    You're telling me 811 other people wanted "Giardia" in their username?????
