Gronk has an opening in Cincy with Uzodah signing with the Jets yet does he turn away from Brady? Not sure. It be nice to have him here but think he can get more money elsewhere.

I think he plays with Brady in Tampa or nowhere.

I can’t see Gronk chasing money.  He’s got other options to make money outside of playing for a crap team.

I feel that unless they seriously low ball him than he takes the money in Cincy.

Cincy made it to Super Bowl last year and has money to spend. Granted I can't see replicating the same success this season.

Anyone heard anything regarding Cordarrelle Patterson?

No, but the way things are going expect the Jaguars to vastly overpay him.

If true, I’m guessing with the Vikes for Danielle Hunter.  I just don’t see the Bills spending the money on RBs with mileage on their bodies, especially when a stud DE is a bigger need.  After that, can focus on other needs.

My money is on nothing happening. Just another poster hoping for attention. I guess it makes for entertaining reading!

with Engram going for $9M, Ertz for >$10M, and Njoku franchised at close to $11M, looks like $12-13M needed for Gronk.  Might be too rich for Beane.  I'd still like to see it though. 

 

We need another pass catcher - be it TE or WR.  I would have preferred Gronk and a drafted stud WR.  Looking like a long shot now though.

You mean the guy who re-signed with AZ yesterday?

Why should that stop us? Beane is a wizard…right?

Hoping to see a rumor of Laviska Shenault available and the Bills are interested.

Gronk hasn't been a money guy for a few years now.  I don't think his deal will be in the same ball park as these other guys.  I wouldn't be surprised to see a base of 5 mil with incentives

Has he done anything?  Granted, he doesn't play for a real NFL team, but still....

[BillsVet]

Interesting to see the first moves in the new league year were to re-sign a gadget WR, a new guard, and 2 DT's.  

 

Not arguing with the Saffold signing, but the other 3 signings are just...Billsy.  Or, should I say...McCoach-esque.  

 

Would imagine more moves will be made, but interior OL/DL and gadget WR's are not the reason this team lost 2 years running to KC.  If they're still following the McCoach team-building approach it'll fail even with a franchise QB.

He just needs some JA17 😉

Bad take. Doesn't make any sense. Do you follow the Bills?

[Brand J]

I think Shenault and Cordarelle Patterson are very similar players - very physical, shifty WRs, but not the best route runners. I wonder if Shenault would take carries out of the backfield or convert to RB like Patterson.

EDIT: just saw they’re almost exactly the same size and build too.

If anything they need to sign another starting level Guard, along with an elite edge rusher. Build up the trenches.

Put forth a counter-argument.

Saffold and Jones help improve stoutness of the lines. We've been soft in the middle of the lines. One of our biggest weaknesses.

 

I came into the offseason looking to improve stoutness, sacks, and YAC.

 

Still work to do obviously.

The AFCCG loss the interior OL was definitely a good part of reason that game was lost. I clearly recall KC blowing through on a consistent basis making Allen's day a very miserable one.

 

The recent playoff loss couple months ago was obviously coaches doing as I'm sure you're aware has been discussed more than enough. I agree with you they need to somehow work numbers etc out to get a solid player in a position of need that can possibly get them where they need to be. But it's well known the cap situation and certain things have to be adjusted to make moves for any impact type player and that could take a more than the 1st few hours of day 1 of F/A.
