Good guy. Won't forget how he annihilated Russ Wilson during the 2020 season. Best wishes!

 

Maybe he will get a job in AFC West being a Wilson sack specialist.

His sack strip of Wilson was a thing of beauty.

Tremaine would disagree...

Edmunds was a first round draft pick,  those numbers are set.

Yeah, we remember. Your really good at predicting the obvious. What's the next bold prediction, Haack? 

 

For something that was very freaking obvious it was met by a lot of pushback.

Fare well AJ, and we thank you.

Really?  From who?

 

This seemed an obvious cut to me

People thought Cole Beasley was going to suit up for us next year 

 

There's a reason the term "blind fandom" exists.

 

Here's another shocker: Star/Hughes/Addison  2/3 are gone. Maybe 3/3. Whoaaaaa

There were plenty of people on here pushing back and saying "he will still be here, they are not going to cut a valuable backup linebacker...."

Do you want a medal, a ribbon or an atta boy? Only Niagara Dude and John Nord thought otherwise.

There were others as well. I don't want anything, just their wrongness to be recognised.

I hope so...........the Bills are STILL paying for that brutal 2018 free agent group he grossly overpaid............worst free agent class in Bills history.

 

They could use the 70M+ in cap space they wasted on those clowns.

Dockery and Walker in 2007 have to take the cake but it's pry is a close second.  Beane did well in 2019 and 2020 free agency in the place it mattered most in helping Josh Allen develop (Brown, Beasley, Morse, D. Williams) but the defensive signings weren't too impressive (Butler, Jefferson, Addison, Norman).  I don't know.  I guess I don't have as much faith in Beane in making the right free agent moves compared to most Bills fans.

Jefferson is the one I regret. He had a nice season last year with the Raiders. The Bills signed him to be that inside / outside flex rusher then Star's opt out rather forced him into service as an every down defensive tackle. He can play. The Bills didn't see the best of him sadly.

Nice. Now bring in some weapons for Josh with that money and more likely to come. 

That is alot to expect.  We are still 1m over the cap according to Beane.

Spewing filth and not honing up to it is now the American way 🤷‍♂️

Again, for those who think this is going to be easy:

 

1) We are only going to be able to sign so many guys in FA; and

 

2) We are going to have to let go of a number of good players and I just am having a problem thinking that even with the additions this team could be better in 2022, top to bottom, than they were by the time they put it all together in 2021.

Trust Beane to work his magic.

When? guarantee no one signs anywhere near that type of money because he is mediocre and you don't pay mediocre players that type of dough

Actually mediocre players get overpaid constantly.

Let's wait and see how much Klein signs for,  seems like many fans on this site liked him and and never saw the attraction or skill level to justify his salary this team.  

[SoCal Deek]

He was absolutely horrible in his first few games but I have to say he really came on strong. Never met the guy but I was honestly proud of how he turned himself into a solid contributor. He must have a great work ethic!

 

With that said, I find these comings and goings very troubling. I’m not sure why NFL rosters have to endure such high turnover. It’d seem so much more stable if agents and teams could settle on more reasonable contracts. I just saw that the Chargers are paying a WR something like $20 million a year…..really? Come on! That’s yet another contract that won’t age well.

that was his best game as a Bill, he had impact but since then not much, so 6.6M over minus 5.1 plus 400k in dead money leaves us 1.9M over which equals pay cut money for a vet we would like to keep, more to come and its going to be a very interesting week to ten days coming up, which gets us closer to the draft
