Buddy Hix Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 Beane and his staff have their work cut out for them. That list of FA's leaves a lot to be desired, IMO.
ngbills Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 But we saved up all this cap space for this free agency...
PetermansRedemption Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 Yikes he really smoked Buffalo on those rankings. Can’t say I disagree with most of the offensive rankings though. I do think Josh Allen deserves more than a 3 at QB though. I think a 5 would have been fair. 1

Expand I actually think this FA plays into Beane's philosophy pretty well. There are not many elite guys, but there are plenty of solid players who can fill holes and give you flexibility in the draft. I think we will be vastly improved this coming season. 4

Iamkrgr Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 How do we feel about Jamison Crowder as a WR option? Had a down year due to injury but has been productive in previous years. Still relatively young at 26 to start next season. He's proven to be quick and agile with the ability to create seperation.

Expand I want to trade Zay Jones to the Chargers for Forrest Lamp and sign Crowder to be my slot guy. Carolina liked him pre-draft as well. He was in their backyard.

Expand I think going through what they did in 2018 and then being "judicious" in UFA is not what most fans want to hear. I sense that many people are re-setting the goalposts and acknowledging that even with all that cap room they won't be a championship contender in 2019. I see Free Agency going the way it did last year. One big contract (Star) a medium sized deal (Murphy) and plenty of short term deals (McCarron, Vontae, Ivory, Bodine, Newhouse, Stanford, Rafael Bush). They have Jordan Phillips and Spencer Long in the third category already. 1

msw2112 Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 Is this list all UNRESTRICTED Free Agents, or does it include restricted FAs?

Expand It would be difficult to argue that any year's list of free agents couldn't help this Bills team, that wasn't really my point. When I look at that list I see some decent players but what stands out to me is that there aren't many intriguing players on the side of the ball we need a ton of help with. When Golden Tate and Jared Cook are the top options at the skill positions of need, I'd argue that the list is pretty thin.
