Virgil Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 If some of these big name QBs get franchised tagged, like Eli, Russell, Rivers, is it still a pair of first round picks for another team to sign them away? If that's the case and Wilson gets tagged, I would hope to see us jump on that. I feel like it isn't that easy though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Wilson would get the exclusive tag meaning he can't talk to anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeGOATski Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Bsically, the price will be high and it won't be easy. Hopefully, they draft a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgil Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 (edited) Wilson would get the exclusive tag meaning he can't talk to anyone. I didn't think there was a tag that didn't allow the player to leave under any circumstances. That would suck if he got hurt during that year Edited June 16, 2015 by Derek in Va Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarleyNY Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 It would be very tough for the Bills to pull off snagging a tagged QB. The cap impact would probably mean not re-signing Dareus and parting ways with at least one other player. Notably the Bills would have to create the necessary cap space in order to sign the QB and run the risk of the offer being matched anyway. It's just not going to happen next offseason. If they go all out to get a QB it'll be in the draft. That is something I do expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way they don't is if EJ or TT takes the team to the playoffs AND looks really great doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justnzane Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I didn't think there was a tag that didn't allow the player to leave under any circumstances. That would suck if he got hurt during that year Teams can put a non-exclusive franchise tag on a player as a way to retain or to get a highway robbery trade like Donahoe did with Peerless Price to Atlanta. If a team places a non-exclusive franchise tag they can get up to two 1st's in return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeGOATski Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Connor Cook Yeah, I've been on the Cook bandwagon since April. I'm pretty convinced they can get a good QB in the first next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALF Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 The Bills need to start planning for a worse case scenario now if EJ or Tyrod , well you know. Start by hiring the best QB scouts for the next draft money can buy. They might have to give up a lot like Wash did to move up for RG3 or throw in a probowl player . If the Bills OL becomes solid , a move up deal like Sammy might do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Bills OL becomes solid , a move up deal like Sammy might do it. it might benefit them to take a gamble by trading with a team like San Fran right now, predicting that they'll be bad enough for a top five pick next year. The price at this point won't be as much, as opposed to trying to trade next April. Of course, you'd be giving up a superstar and giving them one. It's a big gamble, but Whaley would look like a genius if it paid off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALF Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 So far the top 3 look like C cubed, but good scouting might find a player like Nick Foles was rd3 Connor Cook*, QB, Michigan State Christian Hackenberg, QB, Penn State Cardale Jones*, QB, Ohio State Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 So far the top 3 look like C cubed, but good scouting might find a player like Nick Foles was rd3 Connor Cook*, QB, Michigan State Christian Hackenberg, QB, Penn State Cardale Jones*, QB, Ohio State There is a good chance there will be a strong QB draft next year with several 1st round grade prospects. There is also a good chance that Jones will not start the season as it looks right now. That doesn't mean he won't play but it could affect where he gets drafted. Other guys are in the mix too but seeing how I love Big 10 QBs for this team (they play in wind/snow/cold) this is a good year. But also Jacoby Brisset, Jared Goff, Cody Kessler are names to watch for. Even the Boykin kid from Texas Tech if he shows he can make all the throws. He would be a fit in a Roman O. I am not a Hackenberg fan yet. He has a lot to prove. If I could choose any QB for the Bills to draft at this point in time, I take Cook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm Spartacus Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I'd take Joe Licatta in the 1st round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Bills Fan Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I just have this feeling that the Bills will finally get their QB next offseason Just feel like they have done all the right things so far and that will continue with their next QB selection CBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
