Under Beane our drafting has been much better, but 2018 Free Agency class was a complete disaster and this year's class hasn't started off on the right foot. Hello? Do you actually follow the Bills? What part of "build through the draft" don't you understand? Beane doesn't us free agents to build the team. He uses rookies. Whaley drafted poorly and signed occasional name free agents. How'd that work out? Kroft was intended to be the answer at TE. He was intended to be the guy who started until they got the young guy they wanted. It certainly doesn't help 2019 to lose him, but injuries happen. 3
BarleyNY Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 1 hour ago, Logic said: What the Bills SHOULD do: Trade for Kyle Rudolph. What the Bills WILL do: Re-sign Jake Fisher Ugh. That wouldn’t be smart. In fact, it’s be a panicky thing to do. Rudolph will be cut by the Vikes and we can easily outbid the Pats. No sense trading draft picks for a guy on a fairly expensive one year deal. If we are going to pay him some cash, then let’s keep him around awhile. That’d be a very good move. 1
mykidsdad Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 Was there a chance the foot was sore ahead of time, and Beane had heightened concerns and that's why he has so many Tightends on the roster?
FluffHead Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 More upset that Steve tasker is still on OBL than this off-season injury 1

They then proceed to sign a player who's foot clearly was not healed and ends up breaking it again. The medical team is the problem, not the equipment. Beane already had zero offensive signings to hang his hat onto before this year, and now its looking like he continues to not due complete due diligence. Then I guess New England has a medical team problem too. Edelman originally broke the foot in November and missed the final seven games of the regular season after undergoing surgery. He returned for the playoffs, but was clearly not fully healthy in the AFC Championship Game. It was previously reported Edelman wouldn't need a second surgery, but things apparently took another direction. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000661968/article/julian-edelman-underwent-second-surgery-on-foot
BurpleBull Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 Damn. I thought Kroft would prove to be the most important acquisition at receiver. Hopefully Knox can step in right away.
MrEpsYtown Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 Touch situation here. I do suppose it is nice to see Knox, Croom, Sweeney get some extra reps. Not much in free agency outside of AJ Derby, Ryan Griffin (who was arrested for punching a wall.) Ofcourse Jake Fisher is still out there, and we all know he is familiar with the playbook. Interesting UDFA out there is Stetson tight end Donald Parham, who was a an UDFA of the Lions and waived after rookie minicamp. I don't know if he was hurt or just terrible. But I thought he seemed interesting pre draft.
Codyny13 Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 People always jump to finger pointing so quick, the foot wasn’t ready, we didn’t vet him enough, equipment is trash, our staff is trash, trainers are trash and Beane is trash...it’s football freak injuries occur, and it can happen to same freaking foot. ??♂️
BillsMafia13 Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 1 hour ago, Cornette's Commentary said: Beane: Rick, Tyler Kroft just broke his foot in practice and we need to add another tight end. Now, I understand that you've indicated that Kyle Rudolph might be available for a trade. What compensation are you looking for? Rick Spielman: Give me your 2nd round pick in 2020 and you've got a deal. Beane: That seems a bit high. Spielman: Take it or leave it. Not sure if you've checked the news, but the Patriots have reached out to us about Kyle. Beane: You've got a deal! A 2020 2nd it is. Spielman: Care to throw in a mid-round pick as well? Maybe a 5th? Beane: Agree to that as well. We can't let him go to New England. Thanks, Rick. All that typing for this? EJ Manuel was less of a bust
billsbackto81 Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 What is it with these Cincinnati TE's? These guys are about as brittle as saltine crackers.

BillsDiehard Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 I'd like to see us go after Jonnu Smith-TEN...wouldn't be nearly as much as Rudolph. He filled in as a #1 for Walker when he was out.
teef Posted May 21, 2019 Posted May 21, 2019 (edited) as a fan, i'm just not worried about this. maybe i should be, but meh. and as a few others have mentioned, possibly good for sweeney. Edited May 21, 2019 by teef

Whaleys teams were competitive every single game, while we have been blown out far too much the last two years. While I support Beane and eager to see how the process turns out, I have my doubts because I’m a Bills fan and have been hurt in the past. A TE is a young QBs best friend and now our best option at that position is 3rd round rookie.
