26CornerBlitz Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 (edited) WHAT CAN WE EXPECT FROM THE BILLS IN FREE AGENCY? Quote Though the Bills are busy doing their due diligence on the top college prospects at the NFL combine, GM Brandon Beane is also finalizing a plan for NFL free agency. Read this and more in our 'Road to the Draft' coverage. Knowing their cap space isn’t ideal does this mean that spending free agent dollars on a quarterback, where the price can be steep, is off the table? Beane said no. “We definitely have to consider that market and there are more guys out there than you normally see at the quarterback in free agency for various reasons,” Beane said. “Some due to injury, some due to multiple guys under contract. We will do our due diligence there. “To make a move like that you have to know that it’s a better player than the two we have on our team, which would be Tyrod (Taylor) and Nathan (Peterman). Both those guys bring a lot of value to our team, so we have to take all those factors into consideration. “You have to weigh what is the cost? What it does to your cap? What other moves you can do around it.” Edited March 2, 2018 by 26CornerBlitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatonka68 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 No Cousins, Keenum, Bradford or Bridgewater. My guess they keep Tyrod, stay at 21 & 22 and draft Jackson, Allen or Rudolph. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMIEBUF12 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Give Philly their #2 pick back for Nick foles and draft one of the qb’s that fall in the draft.Use the rest of the draft to bolster the lines.We would then gave 3 qb’s with Peterman being second string or the rookie beats him out for tge #2 spot.That would be pretty stable and solid for the qb position and it lets the Bills draft/free agents to fill out the roster for this up coming season...Could be a solid team on the rise going this route.You get some youth as you take your lumps with the dead part of the cap the Bills have to perservere through..I’d def be ok with Nick Foles as the wb for the next two/thhree sessons as either Peterman or our draftee develop..GO BILLS!!

BuffaloBaumer Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I think Tyrod gets traded, Peterman starts the season and the Bills swing for the fences and land a QB in the top 5 (who won't start until 2019) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMIEBUF12 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Yeah my bad but we still have the #2 pick from the Rams from the Watkins trade or even the second first we gave would be solid for Foles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cba fan Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 No 1st rounder for Foles. I would start Peterman before I did that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTBill Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I think right now the cap space is not there to make a FA splash. Although it is possible that the glut of FA QBs out there makes one somewhat more affordable. If you consider that they'd likely trade TT for just about anything if they were able to get a FA, it would be doable - even with absorbing the $6M Roster hit - in fact as has been reported, that makes trading TT more attractive for another team since they don't have to pay that. I would be floored if they ended up with Cousins - but getting someone considered an upgrade who is reasonable is possible - and reduces the need to package up all your picks to move up - thus allowing them to build a better roster. I think Keenum or McCarron would be reasonable contracts. Maybe Bridgewater with an incentive deal since he was injured last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I thought the Saints were fools to trade their entire draft for Ricky Williams. I think it would be foolish to overpay. Let other tulip maniacs trade up for the 5 qbs- that will push down quality players to 21-22. I heard one anonymous scout say there are a possible 40 first round grades. The more we could haul from that top 40, the better 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
