Not a bad idea from a Bills perspective, but he'll be able to try for a starting job somewhere so that's where he'll go.

1st round picks are overrated as far as the level of talent and "answer to their problems" some folks believe they can get there. IMO, the big value of 1st round picks is the decent talent on a slotted rookie contract, and the 5th year option. I dont mind trading late 1sts for a proven vet, as long as they aren't also on a ridiculous contract.

Well, no kidding. That's the schtick. But if someone it trying to follow the story, then go to the source. They made a point in saying it isnt WSB driving the silver action.

I keep saying the Colts just seem like a fit. Dont know why, but thats how I see it playing out. And they have the cap space too.

Reddit has no part in the silver market. That is being pushed by outsiders looking to take advantage of the hype. Just go to the source, folks. Lot of good info here. https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/

Correct, I did mean that. Thanks! That's an experience thing, and we learned our lesson this year. We showed up soft and respectful. But the Chiefs already knew the refs keep their flags in their pockets for this game. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, well... I wont be fooled again!

Haha, it's a good problem to have when we are mostly worried about our All-Pro Pro Bowl LBs maybe not being All Pro Pro Bowl, and not about how we find a franchise QB like a lot of teams are right now. Dead on about his play recognition and being easily manipulated. I go back to Kuechly. I didnt even follow the Panthers but I can remember Kuechly making plays in the passing game pretty often. At least breaking up passes, or tipping balls, or tipping balls so they turn into INTs, etc. But I can't name ONE good play in pass defense that Edmunds has made. And he has far more speed and lengthy range the Kuechly, but he's never in the right spot to make the play. With his height and wing span there should be no plays over the middle on this D. Yet that is where we get eaten alive.

Because during the regular season we still had Moss, and while we didnt run a lot, we didnt completely abandon it like we did in the playoffs. Once we lost Moss, it was pass-only. Heck we went an entire half without a running play in the playoffs, where in the regular season we were still running effectively at the end of games to control the clock.

It's just opinion so I wont say this is "wrong", but I disagree big time. An elite run defender to me is a guy who stuffs a hole at the line, or even behind the line. Or when they have a clear shot at the RB in the backfield they actually make the tackle. Far too often it is Edmunds making contact 5 yards into the defense and then hanging on, or flat out missing easy tackles in the backfield and the RB goes for 10 yards.

Hahaha, I cant argue with that take. Works for me, and I absolutely agree on your assessment of his performance. But I still ask the question because some folks think we should have a Reggie Ragland/London Fletcher/Zach Thomas type.

It depends on what other FAs we sign. If all that happens is we let Milano walk, and dont sign anyone else at any other position, then yes. We'd get a comp pick. https://overthecap.com/the-basics-and-methodology-of-projecting-the-nfls-compensatory-draft-picks/

Not apples to apples at all tho. You need to be thinking back to the Ralph/Russ Bills. And then magnify the level of incompetence and dishonesty by about 1000X. If I'm a Texans fans, I dont like the team trading Watson, but I'm more upset with the FO that created the situation that pushed Watson to want to be traded. They can be mad at Watson, or the trade, but the problems will persist well after he is gone. And that will ultimately prove that he is right in wanting a trade. Great link. Good article. Yep.

Define "real MLB". Because it seems like folks only think of the classic, thumper MLB but that isnt what McD wants. Look at Kuechly.

They'd fair well financially. But the optics and PR are pretty bad from a fan's perspective. They might be mad at Watson for a little bit, but it's only a matter of time until McNair/Easterbe make other horrible moves and everyone realizes again that it is all their fault.

I havent seen this many incorrect hot takes about Cam Newton since the 2012 Scouting Season. For shame.

Reminding folks that the Conf Champ recaps are up and to give this young lady some clicks and views! Natalie >>>> Nick Wright

$10M is my middle. I'd rather pay him $8M, he could probably get $12M.

Our base scheme IS a 4-3. But in the pass-happy modern NFL, teams run a Nickel more than anything else so it becomes the de facto "base", hence the 2 LBs. Also, Milano plays OLB.

1. Demonstrate Value 2. Engage Physically 3. Nurture Dependence 4. Neglect Emotionally 5. Inspire Hope 6. Separate Entirely All you need to know.

For some reason I've always pictured Milano in a Colts uni. Seems like a fit there, and they have the cap space. That's my bet on his landing place.

Fair enough. And to that point, lets look at those guys who were recently re-signed. Dion Dawkins, our starting LT. And Tre White, our all-pro #1 CB. Both signed new long term deals, and both are in the $13M-14M/year range. Dawkins never even reaches $14M across his entire deal. So if Milano wants $10M, then maybe. But I'm not paying him the same as our LT and #1CB.

No I would not. That money should be invested in the trenches.

Not surprised. Texans will have a ridiculous price so they can go back to Watson and say "we tried, but no one could get a deal done".

I have no problem with the player wanting to get paid. I have no problem with letting Milano walk. But I will be slightly annoyed when he signs with New England and we have to play him twice a year. The good news is, the BILLS are now the team that vets looking to chase a ring will come to. So I'm expecting Beane to work his magic on the entire front 7 this offseason.

White is locked up long term. Why even mention him?
