I wonder if Hopkins is waiting the Diggs situation out. It’s really the only leverage the Bills have over Diggs. Once Hopkins signs with someone, Diggs is free to go full Diva.

That $10.7m cap hit this year was a bit of an albatross for Beane. The extension allows him to finagle Oliver’s cap numbers going forward. We are lucky to have owners willing to spend the money to give Beane the flexibility to build a championship roster.

For all the excuses in college why he didn’t have productive numbers, he’s been the same player in the NFL. Let’s see if he can an Edmunds type breakout year. I like that the Bills are putting some pressure on him to elevate his game.

4 team divisions is bad enough. The 17th game means teams don’t even have same amount of home games anymore. Add in all the non-sunday games creating rest imbalances and NFL has by far the least equitable scheduling. Not even close. That’s why the 1 seed getting a bye is so dumb. 8 teams per conference should make playoffs.

good. Would rather be the hunter. The hype machine was outta control last year.

Let’s hope he has a breakout year, but he’s definitely been underwhelming especially when you look at the top 20 picks that year. That was a pretty stacked draft. In hindsight there’s no way he should’ve went that high at that size without huge production.

95% of the time their team probably did get better. Problem is so did every other team in the NFL.

It’s possible because he has better hands than Gabe and Knox. Especially if Josh develops trust in him early in the season. But if he did break that record, there’d probably be controversy over whether Kincaid is really a tight end.

Definitely a theme this off-season. Our slot Receiver is going from 5’9” 180lbs to 6’4” 240lbs. Our RB additions are 20 and 30lbs bigger than Singletary. Torrence is bigger than whoever he’s gonna replace. Poona is a stout physical guy. Rapp is big and physical for a safety. Hopefully the days of being a soft non-physical team except for our QB are in the past.

10 or 11 months difference from the youngest. And we haven’t yet announced the college udfa’s. That 12-14 guys around 22 years of age which orobably drops the average age by 6 months.

Looks like Settle will be inactive on game days unless there’s an injury.

Shows McBeane is committed to being more physical on offense.

You would never know we were 13-3 by the way most people are talking about this team. I think it sets up nicely for us to be the hunter instead of the hunted this year. There’s a lot of guys who could have either bounce-back or contract year type seasons. Tre, Hyde, Oliver, Epenesa, Basham, Rousseau, Spencer Brown, Gabe, Harris, even Knox. Then I’d expect increased contribution from Elam and Cook plus a jolt from Kincaid and Torrence. That’s not even factoring in Josh coming in re-focused after a year in which he became a mega-star. Diggs, Milano, maybe Tremaine, Morse and Dawkins were probably only guys who had really good years by their standards. There’s a lot of room for this team to improve.

Hard to be a top pass catcher without elite hands. That’s what holds back Knox from taking the next step. Same with Gabe. Mckenzie was even more inconsistent catching the ball. None of our RB’s have great hands either. I expect Kincaid to be Josh’s #2 target rather quickly.

Sometimes you just get lucky and the guys you need fall into your lap. I’d say that was kinda the case with Kincaid and definitely the case with Torrence. We haven’t had that kind of draft luck probably since Josh. Look at the Jets last year and all the guys that fell into their lap. Then look at this year with Steelers moving up and stealing their left tackle. With 31 other teams going after the same guys, there’s definitely luck involved. I’m not sure we could’ve had a better first 2 rounds considering where we were picking.

Not sure there was a top 7-8 team who helped themselves more. Maybe the Ravens. Maybe Philly. We arguably added 2 top flight starters to the offense. To a team that was 13-3.

I’d think Dawkins, Mcgovern, Morse, Cyrus, Brown with Knox, Kincaid, Diggs, Gabe, Harris and Josh is our base offense with Cook and Harty as our smaller package.

This guy, a big slot in Kincaid, and Damien Harris… adds a different dimension to the offense that it was lacking. More physicality was definitely needed on the offense. In regards to the defense, it looks like they’re banking on Tre returning to form, the return of Hyde, Elam making a leap, Rapp adding some physicality to the back 7, and replacing Edmunds by committee. I could see Oliver stepping it up in a contract year, and continued improvement from Rousseau. Jones, Phillips and Shaq provide steady play and hopefully Epenesa and Basham show some marginal improvement and Von rounds into form by end of season.

I assume bears traded in front of Giants for a Center

That’s first thing I noticed too in his highlights. He catches the ball effortlessly and then is immediately getting upfield. Kelce was first guy I thought of.

Good news is there will probably be 2 QB’s, and 3 or 4 Tight Ends taken before we pick tomorrow. Hopefully a quality IOL player is available at pick 59. I might even trade up again for an Avila or the kid from Florida.

They had no idea what happened. Beane snuck in there with the Giants/Jax trade knowledge. Kinda like what the Patriots did to the Jets.

Smith-Njigba and Kincaid were the 2 best pass catching options in the draft. We got one of them.

Dallas draft room looked like they got blind-sided. The only way the Bills were able to pull this off is because they knew the Giants were trading with the Jags. Dallas probably didn’t even get chance to call Jax before trade was in.

Kincaid could very likely be our 2nd leading pass catcher next year
