Source: Major Bills news coming next week
Coach Tuesday replied to SaviorPeterman's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Losing Wood would not ruin the offseason IMO. Groy was a capable fill-in, centers can be found in free agency, and Wood was not playing well this season anyhow. -

Disagree. They could cobble together a decent running game with draft picks and free agents - other teams have, many times. -

So many Sammy Watkins ironies... -

Other than Shady (who is replaceable in a modern offense), there is only one player on the team who could be injured so badly that it would "ruin the offseason" and that's Tre. -

This sounds a bit overhyped - there is no player on the offensive side of the ball whom it would "ruin the offseason" to lose... -
Gilmore is now beloved in NE (Yahoo Article)

I understand you require simple solutions to complex problems. Find me a single post where I’ve defended Doug Whaley. -

Oh I understand all right. -

Are you really that unsophisticated that you think it's just a matter of contracts "getting done"? The size and structure of the contract, in itself and relative to the rest of the roster, makes all the difference in the world. Cap management was Overdorf's fiefdom, not Whaley's. Cap management is what I am talking about - the Bills allocate resources to certain players in a certain way and then immediately regret doing so. It has little to do with Doug Whaley. -

Look, I know it's 2018 and facts don't matter to people like you, but Overdorf handled the contracts. -

Correct. -

The drafting, perhaps. Whaley had very little to do with the contracts that were given out and he had almost nothing to do with the hiring of Rex. -

It's not just the fans. The team suffers from constant buyer's remorse. They gave Mario the biggest contract in team history and reportedly loaded it with player-friendly add-ons that gave him the freedom to do ridiculous things like blast his own music from his locker, then immediately regretted doing that once it led to grumbling by other players. They spent a boatload of picks to get Sammy Watkins then started hating him for being too soft. They handed another monster contract to Dareus - despite his sketchy off-field history by that point - then immediately became disenchanted with him for repeating the same behavior he had always displayed. They spend high picks on positions they don't want to pay a premium for, like cornerback and running back. Heck they even do it with coaches - no one made Terry give Rex one of the biggest coach paydays in the league - and he almost immediately regretted doing it. By mid-season of Rex's first season (if not sooner), the knives were already out for him at OBD and deservedly so. I get that regime change is part of the story here, but it's not the whole story - it's a troubling lack of strategic planning and direction, as well as a lack of accountability for the people who make these decisions in the first place. And the fans go right along with this nonsense. We have hordes of mouth-breathing Joes who can't wait to chase the next well-paid and/or highly-drafted Bill off of the roster... -

He's a good cornerback. Has anyone noticed in recent history that the Bills (and their fans) have turned on nearly every single player whom they picked high and/or gave a big contract to? The level of buyer's remorse at OBD is incredible. -
I like your thinking. I could see it being McCoy, though, and to Denver. Elway might be tired of drafting project QBs and likely has his sights focused on Cousins, Smith, or Tyrod this offseason, and perhaps in that order. He might well think that if he can sign a competent veteran QB and swing a trade for a dynamic running back like McCoy, his roster is good enough to compete for the SB (and I'd agree). If so he wouldn't mind sliding down into the 20s where he can draft his biggest non-QB need (interior OL) without wasting a premium pick. And from McBeane's perspective, while I certainly wouldn't rule out your idea (it would be similar to the Bills unloading Kiko when they did), I suspect they'd rather dump some salary if they're going to be swinging a trade like that...

Oh no, some guy at ESPN said something. -

No. 1 WR recruit out of high school, still plenty of upside. -
