I would LOVE to be able to grab Nakobe Dean in the 1st, but I dont think we do even if he is there.

I think they'll stay put and have some combo of CB, WR, C/G in rounds 1-3. Leaning towards taking that C/G in the 3rd, depending how the draft falls. No moving up since the real difference makers will be going too high to get to from #25.

Retirement is perfect. Even less reason to release him or for the Bills to do anything. Let that take care of itself. Thanks for the Bease link. Even more reason he got released sooner rather than later. Not sure the point you are arguing here.

Links?

Nah, we knew Bease was on his way out, especially after the permission to seek a trade. Star hasnt been given anything like that yet.

If they truly thought his time was done and they had no plan for him, they'd cut him. As you pointed out. Obviously (although this could change at literally any second), at this time, they want to keep Star around as a 1Tech candidate.

Correct. For all we know Jones slips on a rubber mat next week and tears an ACL. No need to jump the gun if it isnt going to count until June 1 anyways.

He's lucky they play in Jersey, he can't play in NYC.

No but we havent really tried. Every FA CB we have brought in so far has been for vet depth, not to start.

Wonder what this new Von Miller contract means for re-signing Edmunds. Especially with picking up Oliver's 5th year. (Bye, Tremaine)

Just said this on a text myself. Really feeling bad for Jerry right now. Dude has been here through so much. Fighting with Marrone, racing cars with FJ, dealing with Rex... I wish we could bring him back at even vet min just so he can ride along for a ring.

I think Burrow has some Miller left in him from the SB too.

NFL contracts arent guaranteed. Most of the time when players sign big, long term deals like this, they never see the entire thing. As details come out, we find that this contract has $32M guaranteed at signing, and a total $52M guaranteed (of the so called "$120M"). So if we break it down, it turns out we can get out of the contract after 3 or 4 years. It's essentially a 3 year/$52M contract, or 4 year/$70M contract. $17M/yr for a premier pass rusher is about right.

Added bonus: From all his time in Denver, he already hates the Chiefs.

He is going to get way more than 48%. McD abandoned the rotation in Carolina when they had the talent to justify it. I'd guess Miller will get over 65% of the snaps. Which is perfect as he gets older.

I was hopeful we'd be in play for him last year and he went to the Pats pretty quickly (iirc). I wonder if we called and he blew us off for the legend of "New England", and is seriously regretting it after how bad we beat them and how bad he has looked in our games. Very happy we didnt land him with the way this has worked out. Roussea and Von Miller >>>>

Kinda. Except we knew that was going down and were refreshing all day. This really came out of NO WHERE. Quite the surprise! GO BILLS!

He's been trying to recruit players to New England all week and failing. He mentioned how tough its been and he and Sal C got into a little back and forth about it. He mustve been after Miller, or at least doesnt want him coming to Buffalo, because he posted this right after the announcement.

LOOOOOOOOOOL

Beane shows up late to the party and just starts swingin d!ck

$32M at signing. $52M guaranteed. Essentially the same 3yr/$52M deal Chandler Jones got. But Miller is younger.

Literally the same accounts from the earlier threads today.

McKissic like "oh damn they didnt tell me they were gonna get Miller and Howard too"

lol, Free Agency just began

Spreading the hit, he wont see the whole thing
