We moved Dareus and Watkins both for 6th round picks. Teams that are in rebuild mode will take anything they can get. I dont think a 6th gets this done, but a 4th isnt unreasonable. I wish I had the audio of Romo going on about the bold moves Beane made to clean house and rebuild the team, and that is what teams need to do if they are serious about rebuilding. I hope Carolina was watching the broadcast.

If they are fine paying out the rest of that contract, sure, they probably will. But if everyone is seeing him as a possible 1 year rental who would have to sign a new deal, then we're probably all in the same ballpark. Teams that are tanking and looking to completely rebuild would be happy to eat the entire contract now and get it off the books for the next regime. Beane did it with a couple of our super star players I believe.

Meaning he probably wont see another ridiculous contract like the Panthers offered him even in Free Agency.

Sure. But that also plays into what we offer in negotiations. Obviously if we trade a 1st then we are over a barrel with having to re-sign him (a la Texans/Tunsil), but I doubt Beane does that. If it is a 4th rounder... I can eat that for a one year rental who helps get us a SB.

Folks, read the thread. The money "issue" has been addressed.

Yes and no. We'd only owe him that if we kept him. None of that $11-12M is guaranteed. So the first approach is as a 1 year rental for $600k. If we wanted to keep him beyond that, we could make an offer at a restructure to give him some guaranteed money, but much less than $12M/yr. Point being, Beane has room to work his magic. And no one does it better.

Addressed upthread. $600k this year.

Lots of both. And there isnt a guy who plays RB and OL, so we'll go with what we can get. The OL could be improved, sure. But Moss has 40 yards of open green in front of him at one point yesterday, he took forever to get his feet moving (almost like a cartoon where they are running in place trying to get going), and then when he finally did start running he tripped over his own feet for a gain of 6 instead of 60. We could improve at RB and see an improvement in our run game.

Yeah, the Barkley idea ended once Daboll started winning instead of straight tanking.

I would absolutely take Saquon over CMC. But Saquon isnt available and I believe his contract is more prohibitive.

Saban wasnt around long enough to be considered a failure, imo. He just got a better offer and knew College was a better place to be. I get that as a Dolphins fan, you may feel differently

We're spoiled 🤣 I get what you're saying, but really, anyone associated with the current Bills is a big name nowadays.

My money is on Leslie Frazier. Not a current HC, but was one.

Dang, fired their DC today too. The OC is the only one left in the building, holding the bag 🤣

Then put in THEIR backups! (which we did)

Good point, but I'm not sure they are still so patient. Especially when their Golden Boy is getting crushed like that.

Looking at Kenny Pickett's stat line, 327 yards, ok kid!... ...3 points, hmm maybe not.

Likely, yes. But the fans are already "saving their postage" to put up a billboard. If he doesnt get the OL and play calling figured out soon, the seat is going to get hotter.

Zac Taylor going to be a "surprise" fire if he doesnt get things straightened out in Cincy.

Even as a classic Edmunds detractor I don't necessarily agree. I think he'll go to another team and play very well. Hopefully he doesnt go to another decent AFC team. He will definitely be a point of conversation here for a long time into the future, and likely due to how well he does on his next team. But it's just a matter of $$$. We can't afford to pay him $18M-20M/year.

3 points.

Rhule back to UB???

Ehh, if I'm going to add a RB, I want a true RB. Not a pass catcher. We have lots of those. Give me someone who is dangerous between the tackles. That is who we are truly missing. The way I figure, if I'm adding a pass catching RB, I might as well add the better pass catcher and go OBJ. JMO
