With all our needs I would still like to see us reinforce our backfield stable with a capable backup. Watching an old Tolbert still hurts my eyes. 7 hours ago, Mango said: I keep hearing about Cousins to Denver. They have something like 27/28 mil of cap space, for an asking price of 25 mil from the Cousins camp, how do they make that work? I am not familiar enough with them to know much about roster moves for them to clear space. It seems like the Bills are the lowest cap space currently possible for cousins at about 32 mil. Everybody else is sub 30. Jets and Cleveland have tons of space. I don’t see Cousins going to Cleveland for any amount. Jets coaching situation is not stable so I think, money aside, we are a better fit for most.

Everybody else is sub 30. Jets and Cleveland have tons of space. Denver is definitely going after Cousins. They're reportedly asking Demarius Thomas to take a paycut - I hope he refuses and we have a chance at him. Personally I'd much rather go after Bridgewater - he'll be much cheaper than Cousins, he's coachable and his accuracy is way better than Cousins (to my untrained eye, at least - Cousins seems streaky to me).

I like Bridgewater too. He's only 25 years old and seems to have a lot of upside. My concern would be the health of that knee and his lack of arm strength in Buffalo. As others have posted here, the injury was pretty devastating. He's going to have to take a 1 year prove it deal.

No doubt - his leg almost got amputated! But it seems like it was a total fluke and that he's healthy now. His arm strength is average, no worse than Keenum's. His specialty is the short- to medium-range area of the field, like Alex Smith but he's more of a gunslinger. He doesn't have a cannon but he seems to have a great touch pass and a good feel for finding open spaces in the defense. He was just coming into his own when he went down, something like a 70% completion rate in his last healthy season. 1

ndirish1978 Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 On 1/15/2018 at 5:08 PM, The Frankish Reich said: Thanks. The last item - close to his/his wife's home and not a mega city - makes sense. But looking at what cities fit the bill, you'd have (probably in order): Lions (not in the market for a QB), Packers (same), Browns (well, that great fan base may come back, but they're pretty demoralized now), Vikes (who knows?), Bills (seems to fit the bill to me), Jags (maybe a fit there too). So that limits the field to a pretty small group of teams ... If they cut Bortles JAX would have $45M in cap space (NO dead space on their cap for this, it's a19M savings). I'd look at that D and the RBs and head straight there if I'm Cousins. 21 hours ago, John from Hemet said: OK so I have a question How are the bills NOT a good destination for a qb? We just made the playoffs on minimal talent....all those other teams did not....we are on the upswing Minimal talent, cold weather and not really a major city. If I were a FA and hadn't grown up a Bills fan I'd only consider them if they had the highest offer. We have an aging RB and very little talent at WR.
26CornerBlitz Posted January 17, 2018 Author Posted January 17, 2018 Another QB article. Mike Rodak How the Bills can take advantage of AFC's future quarterback problem The Bills don't have a long-term answer at QB, but they're in the right conference to have that issue and have enough picks to move up in the draft. Beane said he has personally watched all of the potential first-round picks at quarterback, but did not rule out remaining at Nos. 21 and 22 to try and land one. "Generally, if you got some high-value guys -- which everybody is claiming to be this year -- they're not going to fall to 21 or 22," he said. "But maybe there's some guys there that we like. Maybe there's a guy in another round. Maybe we answer it in free agency."

This is what I'm expecting as well. I also think we trade Tyrod for Alex Smith. Tyrod will be a backup in Denver behind Cousins. Just my personal guess-work. Go Bills!!!!!
