Really good offseason so far. Disappointing about the ped suspensions. Really wish Beane found a way to get a 1 tech before the draft. That’s a huge gap in the line and will impact the play of the rest of the line and the lbs. to me that’s a place where you can pay a premium knowing you can impact the rest of the d with one position.

If you're getting your primary Bills info from OBL, then you need to branch out. They are OBVIOUSLY going to side with the team on everything because they are paid by the team. Gotta hit other sources, as well. Thankfully we've come a long way from the days of Chuck Dickerson and Jerry Sullivan who would take any negative angle possible.

Exactly! Gabe Davis had 4 touchdowns in that game. Dang incredible. It wasn't WRs that lost that game, it was Frasier and the ST coach who screwed it all up. Would more WRs have won that game? No way. But yeah, keep digging for ways beane sucks. You'll hit the center of the earth soon and we won't have to listen to that garbage any more.

Wish I had the time.

Well duh. Of course we didn't, because our WR room was pretty good with Beasley, Davis and Diggs. And I'm not sure we are counting the Diggs trade in those numbers, because we gave up three draft picks for him. Then one for gabe davis. Look, I know people will take any angle they can to hate on the current administration, but just stop. It's stupid.

I think maybe a middling WR before the draft (and that will trigger the negative reactionaries) and depending on the draft, a CB afterwards. Hard "no" on Diggs. He burned that bridge by asking for a release or trade.

Bills badly need a dominant 1-tech. That leads to better opportunities for our LBs and DEs to make an impact, not to mention our 3-tech DL. Nobody on the Bills interior consistently requires double teams, and a real 1 tech would help. I don’t really follow the draft - just don’t have the time - so I’m not qualified to know what players might fit that need. But there’s gotta be somebody that fits the bill. And lots of draft capital to move around to get one.

No doubt. Huge mistake.

Then what was your plan? What would you do better? Let’s be realistic here, too, if you are capable?

My point is, the Bills shed players and talent in 2024. This is a fact.

While I would LOVE if that happened, I’m not sure I agree. 2024 was cleared a cap clearing year, and the bills still made the AFC championship game.

Wasn’t diggs an impact player? Does it matter how you get them? And a QB is the most important position to have an impact player in. Just let that sink in before you start typing.

Except for some guy who just won M-frigginVP

Garbage take. It takes years to assess a draft. Period. And 2022 was fantastic. Who cares what round you find your people in? Not only that, his one miss in the first round is Elam. If you call Kincaid a miss after his second year, I can’t process that bad logic.

Garbage take. Drafts take multiple years to assess. I remember how everyone hated the 2022 draft. Even with the Elam miss that draft is solid. More than solid.

oh good lord.

Reading this thread is hilarious. People need to chill. Day one of legal tampering and the sky is falling.

I see your point, but all contracts are multi year, and you need to plan for that, and do this diving and others help how they can structure future contract transactions.

Interesting. Conveniently people omit who they would rather have, or the chances of landing someone of the same caliber via draft and then develop them. It’s incredibly inconvenient to make an argument you can’t support with facts and real analysis. how would you replace him? With so many other needs, would it be smart to let him walk? im quite sure there will be no concrete answers here, but please give it a shot.

So basically nobody. There’s no better deal with an equal or better player. Cop out.

Who would you get instead for similar money? That’s a fa. No idiotic unrealistic trades, because those are pure speculation. What fa would you get instead who is as good for that price? Hint: there’s NOBODY

25 mil guaranteed for a very good (and sometimes great) starting LB is a fantastic thing. So many people not liking this is confounding. Who else of the same caliber could you get at that price for 4 years? hint: nobody.

I’m interested in Jennifer Anniston. Still. That statement has as much value as the bills being interested in an end-of-career player. Both aren’t gonna happen, although I think Jennifer would find me mildly interesting.

God I hate the offseason.

Good grief, this op post and thread is hilarious. Following.
