machine gun kelly Posted September 7, 2020 Posted September 7, 2020 So, I seriously doubt anything happens at all, but if you had to wonder about one position group, it’s TE. Now Spotrac has him valued at $12.7 mil. Probably past what we can do, but just looking at the roster. Murphy would be $8 mil., Barkley $1.8 mil., Taiwan Jones $900k, Lee Smith $1.7 mil., and so on. I know it’s probably foolish, but this is the one area We would immediately be better, and he is fantastic. Rip me up on this one, but was hoping we would have gone for this guy. They are $80 mil. over next year and negotiations have broken off. The guys I mentioned are not critical.
1ManRaid Posted September 7, 2020 Posted September 7, 2020 Guess we just shouldn't develop Knox into a stud then... 3
Rc2catch Posted September 7, 2020 Posted September 7, 2020 Ertz is a pipe dream. The season hasn’t even started why would philly give up possibly their best offensive player? Has to be more than just a cap casualty to ship him out now. If philly falls apart and is 2-5 or something maybe they try and unload contracts but right now there’s zero chance they’d trade him unless you’re giving a seriously blue chip rookie which we do not have. 1
DFT Posted September 7, 2020 Posted September 7, 2020 It could absolutely happen. Goedert is waiting in the wings. I think what’s understated though is the Bills affinity for Knox. But it could happen, definitely.
machine gun kelly Posted September 7, 2020 Author Posted September 7, 2020 My point was simply they love Goedert, amd is much cheaper, and Ertz has more value this year vs. next. They are in cap he’ll coming up, and I love Knox, but look at the Ravens. They play 13 personnel all the tim, so three TE’s on the field. Wouldn’t it be nice to have Ertz and Knox in the same huddle together if we can swing it. That’s all. 1
die hard bills fan Posted September 7, 2020 Posted September 7, 2020 Kroft and draft pick for Ertz and his salary😉 1
Brennan Huff Posted September 7, 2020 Posted September 7, 2020 I love Dawson Knox. Total man crush on him

That’s the point. A 12 personnel with Ertz and Knox on the field with choose your RB, AMD Diggs and Brown is a crazy combination. Not a let’s avoid Beasley. It’s a let’s have options so we can do either. Having more than one stud TE is a huge plus. 1
Bricks Posted September 7, 2020 Posted September 7, 2020 Julie Ertz as a Bills fan is worth 14 mil/year. Gold medal family right there... 1
DJB Posted September 7, 2020 Posted September 7, 2020 Just draft Kyle Pitts TE in 2021. 5 years on a rookie contract. He's the next Darren Waller in terms of talent 2

I can understand your want to have him on the team, and ya, it is not a likelihood, but it’s cool to think of what could happen if everything went down just right. Go Bills!!!

I'm pretty sure Ertz will be on the trading block next year along with a number of other Philly players. They have played the "restructure" game for so long it's pretty much going to be a nightmare for them next spring. With the decreased cap the Bills are in a tight spot themselves next year (NO WHERE NEAR Philly) so I think it's a slim to none shot on him becoming a Bill.

machine gun kelly Posted September 7, 2020 Author Posted September 7, 2020 I know CB, which is why I said doubt it. I know it won’t probably happen. I just thought worth a worthless conversation given we have to wait days before real games and can talk about something real.

I just thought worth a worthless conversation given we have to wait days before real games and can talk about something real. I hear you MGK. As I sit here waiting for snow to hit in a few hours (crazy) I've was just looking at next years cap numbers for the Bills and teams around the league. I looked closely at Philly and just had to laugh. Unfortunately the teams that could cash in on what I think could be a fire sale by a number of teams are in the AFC. IND, NE, NYJ and the also ran JAX are going to probably get some real deals. Bills are pretty much all in $ wise for next year. After what Beane said today concerning Milano and the other FAs it's going to be fun to see what happens. It's going to be another important draft for the "wizard"!
Bills Fan of St Augustine Posted September 8, 2020 Posted September 8, 2020 Stick with Knox, trust the process. 1

No, you have to have patience. Knox's rookie year is not far off of Ertz's. Errz developed, albeit in year two, but that's where Knox is heading. Great players grow so let's see what we have in Knox before dropping $80 mil on a near 30 year old. 2

Ethan in Cleveland Posted September 8, 2020 Posted September 8, 2020 Knox is best TE prospect in decades. There is plenty of skill position talent on this team. Like it or not this season is 90% on Allen and 10% on Daboll.
