But if we’re being realistic here until we see buffalos cuts or restructures we already need to replace 3 starters and none of them are pass rushers or defensive linemen. So if we are going to use a large portion of our available cap on a defensive linemen who is starting at RG and RT? Who replaces Milano? They can manipulate the cap and make the base salary low this year and higher in future years. Im usually not a fan of this, but the cap is going to balloon up in a year or 2 so won't be too big of a deal to do so. I would do it for a top pass rusher for sure. 1

David, Godwin, Barrett, Gronk, Suh. Whitehead the Safety is a Restricted Free Agent. I’d go after all of their defenders and Gronk. I'd love any of David, Barrett or Godwin. Pass on Suh and the Hell with Gronk. 2

BADOLBILZ Posted February 12, 2021 Posted February 12, 2021 1 hour ago, Gambit said: Tampa would be insane to let Barrett go. If he hits FA, I hope we go all in. I remember last year in the lead up to the SB I saw a Barrett interview and they asked him if he'd be happy on the franchise tag and he said something to the tune of living in Tampa beat being in Buffalo. I've since assumed he wasn't an option. I also saw him on tv today and he said both sides were very optimistic that a deal would get done to keep him in Tampa.

They do have a bunch of very good players that they need to sign this offseason but they should have enough space to bring them all back if they want to. I’ll be surprised if they let him out the door but you never really know. Edited February 12, 2021 by DCOrange

Well, I can't say I'm surprised by his answer. Just wishful thinking I suppose.

Was he that good or benefitting from the other guys on the line? I didn’t watch him much minus one game he did dominate. I joke we have a bunch of #2 defensive linemen and we need a elite #1 so all our #2’s are freed up to make more plays. I hope Beane is floating our first round pick to these cap strapped teams trying to snag an elite pass rusher similar to how he got Diggs. Someone already signed up to an extension 1 2
John from Riverside Posted February 12, 2021 Posted February 12, 2021 Why is von Miller Not at the top of everybody’s wish lists is it because people think he will be too expensive?

Speaking for myself, yeah, pretty much. Expensive and old. If we are going to pay top dollar, I'd rather it be for a guy coming out of his rookie contract (or close enough to it like Dupree). Hughes and Addison are 32 and 33, Miller is 31. We need to get much younger at the position so we can nail it down for the future. 3

ALLEN1QB Posted February 12, 2021 Posted February 12, 2021 Maybe we can get them all to come to Buffalo for the veteran minimum because they are all one happy family.

While I, and many others, think he would be better suited as an OLB, he has had a lot of time and resources dedicated to him as a MLB and they won’t cut bait and run on him. 1 1

If Epenesa takes a step forward paired with a newly acquired elite pass rusher along with Hughes and Darryl Johnson and maybe even Addison should be very productive. Add in the double teams newly acquired guy would demand should help free up Oliver too 1
ALF Posted February 12, 2021 Posted February 12, 2021 Everything depends on the new salary cap and restructures . Bills now have $3.8M space https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/cap/
ProcessTruster Posted February 12, 2021 Posted February 12, 2021 16 hours ago, BuffaloRebound said: Im sure some guys will get tagged but it’s a lot harder to tag guys if the cap is going down $15-20m. Does look like there’s gonna be more edge rushers available than usual. Ngakoue, Dupree, Judon, Barrett look like they’re gonna hit the market. yep. franchise-tagging guys won't really happen this year. You could see lots more trades for picks than normal to dump salary and manage the cap.

Enough with the idea that a few wiggles and we'll be rolling in it. We won't. But will we bring in a few low-level FAs? Bet on it. Maybe even a mid-level guy or two. Absolutely. But they won't be fighting for the expensive guys. Even less so than normal. Beane has already said so. But yeah, worth talking about which bargain guys to bring in. There will be a ton of them out there this year.
