Logic Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 I realize that not all of the Bills' signings have been marquee guys. Nevertheless, we're on day two of the tampering period and they've already signed quite a few helpful players. And none of them are super overpaid, either (at least not more than the usual free agency slight over-valuation). There aren't any deals in there that make your jaw drop. So enough with the "Wah, no one wants to come to Buffalo!" narrative. As always, money talks and B.S. walks. 2 4

Haze_21 Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Quote [Klemko] NFL players’ Top 5 free agency destinations, according to their agents: 1. Dallas 2. Seattle 3. Miami 4. L.A. Rams 5. Atlanta Bottom 5: 1. Buffalo 2. Oakland* 3. Cincinnati 4. Detroit 5. Cleveland *Vegas move will change things, respondents said. We can but we have to overpay a bit. City and franchise history matter but cash talks.
Virgil Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 I have to say it’s nice that they are all offensive players. Beane is true to his word and our BPA flexibility in the draft keeps getting better 4

Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 Bills have always been able to sign players, when they're the highest bidder. 1

Your Brown Eye Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 The signing of Cole Beasley does not "put the narrative to bed" 1 1

glazeduck Posted March 12, 2019 Posted March 12, 2019 While I think that narrative is a bit overblown, I also think its fair to look at the franchise's history with marquee FAs and recognize that they're really only ever landed one. Today and yesterday have been exciting, but I don't see any of these guys -- perhaps with the exception of Morse (who still has injury questions) as any different from past years. I think the easy way to look at it is -- what would the LA Rams, Dallas Cowboys, Chicago Bears, etc. have offered guys like Brown or Beasley -- I think the clear answer is less. So while this season has perhaps been moving the needle in the right direction, I don't think that narrative is completely false, either.

Mario Williams type UFAs are also rare.
