Danielle Hunter, DE, the perfect trade candidate
BuffaloRebound replied to Estro's topic in The Stadium Wall
You don’t need to trade multiple 1st round picks to get this team over the hump. Heck, committing long term money to Edmunds would probably be more detrimental than going all out to win a super bowl this year. -
Walter Football Mock with the Hot Take on our MLB
BuffaloRebound replied to Richard Noggin's topic in The Stadium Wall
I’d take Logan Wilson (3rd rounder in 2020) over Edmunds. Guy actually makes plays. There’s 5-6 MLB’s expected to go in top 3 rounds this year. In an ideal world, McBeane would flip Edmunds for a cheaper rookie and use that $12.7m towards an elite edge rusher. -

Not saying it’s gonna be the Bills, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Vikings trade Hunter in next few weeks. He’s got an $18m roster bonus due march 20. New coaching staff in Minnesota and they have zero cap room. I trade a 3rd rounder this year and next year for him. -
Walter Football Mock with the Hot Take on our MLB
BuffaloRebound replied to Richard Noggin's topic in The Stadium Wall
I agree. And I’m hopeful that McBeane surprises us with a premier edge rusher in free agency now that we’re a ring chasing destination. I’m also coming around to Jordan Davis in 1st round. I know NFL is pass-crazy but taking away teams ability to run the ball and making them 1 dimensional is an under-rated thing. -

BuffaloRebound replied to Richard Noggin's topic in The Stadium Wall
You seems to be making the argument that money would be better spent on improving the D-Line than having 2 highly paid LB’s that don’t rush the passer. And I agree with that. -
A pass rush that gets home.

Spotrac spitballs C. Kirk & C. Williams to Bills
BuffaloRebound replied to Estro's topic in The Stadium Wall
I wonder what length teams go to protect their cap spreadsheet which has all their cut, re-structure and free agent projections? Somebody like Schoen probably knows everything the Bills are planning on doing this off-season. -
I think a trade for Barkley is more likely given the familiarity of the front offices. Beasley, Feliciano, Moss, and a 6th rounder for Barkley. Giants need to purge some bad contracts. They get 3 starters and a draft pick for basically same cap space as Barkley. Bills take a swing on a big play RB by trading 3 guys they were likely moving on from anyways.

Spotrac spitballs C. Kirk & C. Williams to Bills
BuffaloRebound replied to Estro's topic in The Stadium Wall
The odds of actually earning the non-guaranteed portion of your contract are exponentially higher on a team with a stable coach/QB situation. That is way more important than whether a guy gets 800 yards vs 1000 yards. -
Would you rather have Levi or Neal + Klein? Would you rather have Star + Edmunds or Chandler Jones? I’d love to bring back everyone but reality is every guy you sign means a guy that you can’t. Our window is right now and we will never be a hotter destination than we are this off-season.
-
That’s what happens when you’re a legit Super Bowl contender. The opportunity cost of signing your own increases when you don’t have to over-pay free agents to come here.
-
Fair enough. I’m just saying everything has an opportunity cost. As another poster above pointed out, these are uptown problems but recent Super Bowl winners seem to be built differently. More upper end guys and more guys on rookie deals contributing. Less mid-tier guys on their 2nd contract.
-
But you can’t reward everybody right? Beane and McDermott have us in a great spot but it just seems like the teams who actually win Super Bowls have more of a mix of homegrown guys and outside free agents to get them over the hump.
-
I don’t have a problem with the signing but at what point does Beane tell his coaches that they gotta coach up the young guys so we have the money for a guy or guys who can get us over hump? Other teams seem to make tough decisions with their own guys so they can bring in upgrades. Bills seem to never let anybody go.

One UFA you'd like the Bills to sign? (realistically)
BuffaloRebound replied to warrior9's topic in The Stadium Wall
I’m not saying Beane is gonna go crazy in free agency, but it would be borderline negligent not to get rid of some bad contracts still on the books now that we are a legit super bowl contender and have a consensus top 5 QB. I think there’s room for a $10-11m per year guy like Kirk on offense and a vet edge guy at $15m like Chandler Jones. -
Agreed. NFL should’ve created a ‘Bird exception’ like NBA has and give teams the cap space back from the opt-out.

Flashback...Josh running at the Combine...
BuffaloRebound replied to eball's topic in The Stadium Wall
His left arm looks like it got stuck in a machine below the elbow. Bizarre. -
I guess we gotta trust McBeane on this one. On the surface, a post June 1 release looks like a no brainer given Star’s lack of availability. But McBeane brought him here on a big contract, then doubled down on a re-structure. So unless his lack of availability the past 2 years altered their opinion of him, I assume he’ll be back.

BuffaloRebound replied to warrior9's topic in The Stadium Wall
How much younger can we get at D End? Epenesa, Groot, and Basham are all we have right now. Signing a vet Edge is a must. If I had to guess, I’d say there’s a 85-90% chance our 1st round pick will be a DB or OL. -
What would it take to get Chase Young?
BuffaloRebound replied to Weatherman's topic in The Stadium Wall
Answer to original question is not enough. Only thing Bills have that they’d trade Young for is Allen and that ain’t happening in a million years. The 25th pick and late 1st rounders for the foreseeable future ain’t gonna help Washington land a franchise QB.
