Do we now become a “goto” destination for free agents.

One of the top destinations, without doubt.  Yes, the weather sucks and it’s not a big city market but it’s a team ready to win it all.

 

They would be coming to Bills Mafia, the best fan base in the world.

 

They would be coming to a team ready to win the Super Bowl.

 

They would be coming to a team that is a brotherhood.

 

If you are a receiving weapon, and they did a little research they would see - Being a receiver with Josh Allen = Best year ever.

 

They have Josh Allen, he is the main reason to join.

 

 

Buffalo needs get aggressive this off season and do what it takes to get another playmaker and someone who can get to the passer on a consistent basis.

It's sounding more like Brady will hang em up. Gronk said before signing in Tampa that Buffalo was a possibility. Gronk knows that Buffalo is on the cusp of winning a SB. He sees that they have a SB winning QB. He sees that TE is a need for the team. In 3-5 weeks he will decide rather he will retire. I feel like he will play one more season with his hometown team and help win SB.

That would be an interesting reunion he’d have with Tre…

Prodigal son returns.  I saw Gronk walking at Mohegan Sun.  I yelled "Gronk, go home, play in front of your family.  The Bills were your favorite team growing up.  We forgive you.  Go home Gronk"!  Gronk was laughing

The "Gronk Apology Tour". A SB win heals all wounds!! 


would Gronk be content being TE2? Let’s be real Knox isn’t losing TE1 after the year he just had. Gronk is older and slower, not to mention his durability is still an issue. Do we spend money on Gronk knowing he may not be available when we need him, or use those funds elsewhere?

Yes and yes. He will see a lot of time as TE2. Can you imagine the offensive playbook with Gronk and Knox? Knox can go back to being the H back. Him being on the field less will help with his durability. Gronk showed that he's still an impact player. Money on him will be well spent

Between FA and the draft I would like to see Bills add:

 

RB- speed, can run wheel route- Breece in 2nd?

Speed WR3- speed over the top.  Diggs, Gabe, and stud speed WR would be very nice.  Jameson Williams?  Great value at 25

TE1B- two TE sets for Josh could be nightmares for opposing D-Gronk would be perfectCB

IOL-get nastier.  Tyler Linderbaum?  If he is there, he will be pick IMO

Edge-pass rush

Big Nickel-can cover Kelse or WR

NT- control line of scrimmage

CB-speed to keep with Hill.  The odds on favorite for 1st round pick currently IMO

KR- devote roster spot if you have to.  WR/KR would be great!

P- Matt Araiza - Ive been banging the table for us to overdraft him

 

Im guessing our first round pick, if we don't trade back which is strong possibility IMO, will be either CB, Edge, Big Nickel, WR, or IOL.  Right now Im guessing one of those 5 is our 1st round pick.  Im guessing CB if Linderbaum is not available.  Jameson Williams gets strong consideration IMO

Looks at the Chiefs, Rams, Tampa Bay.  They all basically get super he’s to sign with their teams in the offseason because certain players want to win. 
 

Does Buffalo join the party where FAs will take less to play with Josh Allen? 

Yes....and no.

 

First off, there are players out there that prioritize winning and culture. There are guys that want to win a ring more than anything. They may have interest. 

 

However, them taking a lot less to play here may not happen. Players when signing here are already losing a ton due to the high state tax. So by signing for less and then being taxed high it's almost like a double pay cut. A opposed to some places that have low or no state tax and they see more of their contract dollars.

Lol.  Even at the tail end of his career Gonk would be TE1 if Knox was his competition.  And it’s really not that close.

Pete, you can join me in the War Room anytime!! I'm on the same page. Breece Hall and Matt Araiza in some round please

I think maybe guys in situations like Jerick McKinnon was last year. Signed a 1 year prove it, vet minimum deal, and now he is coming out smelling like roses because Mahomes and the rest of that team made him look good. 

 

BTW that is the type of player that would open up the offense even more. A guy who can run it between the tackles, but is also a really good receiver. Cordarrelle Patterson, McKinnon, JD McKissic (for real this time), perhaps a blazing Raheem Mostert coming off an injury. 

 

Increase team speed and flexibility.

@Pete, I'm afraid that we will have to take Breece at 25. I'd go Metchie in 2nd. If the Bills could get Gronk, can you imagine a set with Davis, Diggs, Gronk, Metchie, Knox at H back and Breece in the backfield? The playaction game would be out of this world!! You can get a center like Dohnovan West, Alec Lindstrom or Nick Ford later in the draft.

Beane has lots of chips and will be active IMO.  Im guessing, especially if Linderbaum and Williams are gone, that we trade back.  25 is a good spot for action.  Im guessing Beane trades back, and perhaps drafts Breece with our first selection, but acquiring more 2nd, 3rd-5th round picks, trading up, after trading back

Players that want to win will certainly want to play with Allen, or QB's that are upper-tier. However, will the Bills organization take the route of say, the Steelers and build mostly from within and not make any big splash acquisitions?

 

I think Beane will do what's necessary to put this team over the top. It will be an interesting off-season.

Have to get Breece before Dolphins pick in 2nd though. He'll help them tremendously. Hopefully trade with Lions. Lions get their QB at 25

I have this funny feeling that if Brady retires, Gronk is going to play one season in Buffalo. Gronk will help bring SB victory to Buffalo and cement his legacy

 

You know....why not? If Gronk wants to be seen as a hometown hero in Buffalo, play one year here and make up for bad karma. Allen is the man. Good enough for Gronk.
