BrotherChazz Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 So we might have been pursuing one who hasn't yet signed? 2

It surprises you that the Bills might not have been final players in the Cousins and Keenum sweepstakes, once their asking price became clear at the Combine, or interested in Sam Bradford at $15M guaranteed/$20M for 1 year? Also, I would personally have liked Cousins even at the price he got, but if I'm Cousins I'm only gonna give a serious look at a bona fide championship team with great WR and a stout OL.

Just because they didn't make any offers doesn't mean they were talking to agents about the players. They very well could have been pursuing players but other deals were already getting ironed out.

KollegeStudnet Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 I believe it. Why pay a bunch of money on a QB when the plan could be drafting the top rookie in the draft. Find a reliable backup.

Just stating that they likely were pursuing players but couldn't sign them whether they weren't gonna be able to pay them or another team got them locked in first. Point is I doubt they pulled a Nix and fell asleep at the wheel. Edited March 14, 2018 by The Wiz 1

Point is I doubt they pulled a Nix and fell asleep at the wheel. The Bills did their due diligence and surely extended feelers to every FA QB on the market. Like anything else, the answer probably lies more in the middle. They may have not been in our plans at their asking prices or we might not have been in their plans as a locale. Probably both.

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted March 14, 2018 Posted March 14, 2018 Nor should it have been. Cousins was the only UFA worth getting, and we have seen the contract he is getting. It has always made much more sense to prioritize drafting a guy, or trying to swing a trade.
