WotAGuy Posted March 13, 2022 Posted March 13, 2022 I’m not expecting anything earth shattering - there won’t be any Emmanuel Sanders signings this year. Quote
davefan66 Posted March 13, 2022 Posted March 13, 2022 Not expecting much. Worst part is there are a few players at need positions for us. Will see a bargain basement receiver with “potential” and a cheap vet defensive lineman. Maybe Gronk is the splash. Beane will clear cap space, but won’t mortgage the future in the process. 2 Quote
Buffalo Ballin Posted March 13, 2022 Posted March 13, 2022 There is no disappointment if we do not have expectations. The sooner we realize this, the better. 1 Quote

Our team is finally good again and positioned to be that way for a while. We're seeing the Bills linked to a bunch of big names and seeing reports that some have even reached out to us. We are really just an impact player or two away from hoisting a Lombardi. I can't help but think that maybe we're expecting too much and aren't going to see the big moves we were hoping for. Hope I'm wrong, but going big in FA doesn't seem like Beane/McDermott style. the only people upset are the armchair GM’s who think they have the answers Beane has done a good job getting FA’s overall but FA can be as much as a bust as the draft. Sometimes you hit the lottery and sometimes you don’t. Bottom line The Bills spent a lot of $ last season and are now low on $ for 2022. Quote
nucci Posted March 13, 2022 Posted March 13, 2022 I'm still disappointed how last season ended. Quote

Who is this "we" ? The Bills ended February with negative cap space. Beane said it wouldn't be as tight as last year, and that we would look outside the roster to fill from some FA that are leaving. Last year we signed Sanders for $6M and Trubisky for $2.5. People who expect us to run out and sign Chandler Jones and Rob Gronkowski and trade for CMC are just nuts. They are setting themselves up, sure. 1 hour ago, WotAGuy said: I’m not expecting anything earth shattering - there won’t be any Emmanuel Sanders signings this year.

We have 1 1TDT and 1 3TDT on the roster (and most people want to wave "bye" to the 1T). We have 1 CB rehabbing his ACL and a 3rd year "zone only" small guy. We also have our LG (rehabbing an ACL) and our backup LG/C as FA Status quo not an option 1 Quote

If you expect a big time signing then you are likely to be disappointed, if you just want a winning season then you are being realistic. Quote

Mr. WEO Posted March 13, 2022 Posted March 13, 2022 Bills are a competent game day crunch time coaching staff away from a Lombardi, not some big FA signing away. 1 Quote

billsbackto81 Posted March 13, 2022 Posted March 13, 2022 Remember the good ol' days when Ralph Wilson and Mike Brown (Bengals) would do battle as to see who can field a team with the most cap space available😂 I'm not expecting much as far as "splash" acquisition. I expect Beane and McD to again sign competent vet players to fill positions of need while hoping they nail the draft. 1 Quote
loveorhatembillsfan4life Posted March 13, 2022 Posted March 13, 2022 I think we will bring in some solid players and I wouldn’t be surprised if the first signed Position is Wr. I’m temping my expectations on a big splash for the Dline. Rumour is that the Broncos number One priority is signing Jones. They feel their team is close. Quote
