If Williams doesn't work out , Schwartz would be a nice signing. His brother Geoff is a Bills hater though. Always bad mouthing Buf on Twitter. He really pisses me off sometimes He does that to pretty much all fan bases lol. Saints have been his latest target, making fun of their cap hell and the fact that Taysom Hill is their 3rd highest paid player. 1 1

Ages ago I was cut from the bank I worked at one week before the annual bonus, and two weeks before Christmas, and that was after exceeding all my scheduled performance goals..., life is like that... The rest of the world you can work for 30 + years. These guys have a very limited window. And you can not fire people who were inured while working. There are workplace rules for that in almost every industry but NFL gets to play by different rules. I don’t want the MLB or NBA fully guaranteed model where you can't cut guys for poor play. But there should be more protection for guys that are cut while injured. Even something as simple as the team must still pay them but does not affect the cap until they can play, play for another team, or truly retire.

He's pretty arrogant

We probably willl be having the same dilemma on who to pick at 30 if Williams walks... Of course the top prospects will be gone but there are like 11 or 12 offensive tackles worthy of going in the first two rounds or thereabouts IMO. Best tackle class I have ever evaluated depth wise. Not as good at the top end as Wirfs, Becton and Wills last year though.

I hope you are right though because they will be looking for one I think... Hope their eye has improved since their last swing at T Cody Ford , who I recall you liked as our long term RT when they drafted him? I liked the pick at the time too...

Those guys are allowed to find employment after playing football ya know, 😁 it’s no different than anyone else having to retrain themselves to be employable, they are not in a protected class, 👍 I don’t understand why so many fans think these guys should not have to get a damn job after there playing time is up, if they didn’t earn a lot or pissed away what they did earn, it’s kinda comical that folk think that way. And I am quite certain that the team followed the rules that apply when they were cut, otherwise it would cost the team even more money...because the players union would go berserk otherwise. Much ado over nothing is what I’m thinking. Go Bills!!! 2

It is that good of a tackle group. So I liked Cody but I had him as my top guard that year.

TheFunPolice Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 Worked out just fine without them in the Super Bowl, although I wonder how much Reid's son threw them off in that game as well. It seemed like there was none of the creativity we were used to, just snap the ball, Mahomes runs around like crazy, and the WR or TE drops the ball when it hits him in the face or hands.

HappyDays Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 The path to beating the Chiefs next year is definitely easier as of right now. Just need to have a serviceable pass rush that can take advantage of their downgrades. Austin Reiter didn't allow a single sack last year.

Ethan in Cleveland Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 Glass houses my fellow fans... Bills did the same thing two years ago with 4 of 5 new starters on the line. Bills will be in the similar cap situation when Allen's contract kicks in. KC is just in even worse shape because of the one year drop in the cap. 1
