Meh, not worth the $$$ from us. We need to worry about paying Knox, draft a #2 TE, and sign comp for Sweeney in FA.

Show me where I said him being worth any contract value 13M, 100M, 1M  or otherwise.  What I said was:

 

1.  The decision on Edmunds 5th year had to be made last year.  Is that true?

2. The Bills had no true insight or control over Jones 2022 FA status a year ago.  Is that true?

3.  Based on the above, any lack of money available to sign Jones has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with Edmunds other than people’s seeming desire to blame everything under the sun on Edmunds.  
 

Your statement about the Bills inability to sign Jones due to Edmunds is completely absurd, no matter what you think about the ability of either player.  There is no connection whatsoever.  You might as well equate it to rising gas prices.  It is simply dumb.  I pointed that out and you brought up whether or not he is worth 13M…..which is an entirely separate discussion as to whether we can afford Jones.  Maybe you should work on your own processing speed before ragging on Edmunds’.
 

 

 

 

Lol…..all I said was that you cried.  
 

The remark wasn’t even about you.  It was a general blanket statement.  I know nothing about your thoughts regarding edmunds.  I saw your comment as a little annoying fly, I didn’t even know who I was quoting. Sorry you get so upset

Word.  ✌️ Glad we never got to know ya. Might have been a nice rac/field stretcher but I’m glad we won’t get to see him try and catch 17s lasers

No but they keep getting comp picks for being cheap

You don't believe they just added two top defensive players this offseason?

Whose the second?  The 32 year old DE with injury issues that hasn’t had a double digit sack season since 2018?  
 

Names do not equal “top defensive player”.   Is JJ Watt a “top defensive player” still too?  Because he’s a free agent and was once the best defensive player in the league.  

 

Chargers whole defense was bad, all 3 levels, so one top 5 corner and an oft injured 32 year old DE isn’t going to turn them into the 85 Bears.  
 

And this is a team that didn’t make the playoffs last year after losing to the weak Raiders to get in.  Now they have to contend with Wilson and the Broncos too on top of Mahomes and the Chiefs.  
 

Odds are they won’t even win their division still.

I'm struggling to think of any big time FA the Jags have signed over the last decade that didn't turn out to be a huge disappointment (Calais Campbell aside).

 

It's a 1 year vacation destination where players go for the weather and guaranteed money and then stop caring about football. 

I am not sure Engram can catch Josh Allen's fastballs anyway

The Browns kinda started it a couple years ago throwing the $$$ at Hooper. Now they're about to throw big $$$ at Njoku as well. 

[njbuff]

Dodged a bullet with Engram.

I wonder if the Bills would draft Jeremy Ruckert … hybrid TE/WR who can block. Thought they might go for a vet but it’s an option 

[Thurman_34]

So every player rumored to Buffalo so far has signed elsewhere. This was expected with the Cap and teams overpaying.

Maybe they believe it is cheaper to have 2 for which neither will get a back breaker contract than one which cannot get you Superbowl win but costs $40 million a year.

The big question is: Do they bother to put an OL in front of them this year?

I like him and I like the kid from Iowa St., Kolar, as well. Kolar can flex out and play in line too. The kid from Virginia is intriguing as well with off the charts athleticism, Jelani Woods.

Then they should draft and develop a replacement.........the guy put up 49 catches for 587 yards receiving last season.........that's almost exactly what Charles Clay produced in each of his first 3 seasons with the Bills.     Nice players but not irreplaceable.

If the talk is that the pats locker room is too up tight still like previous seasons, the way judon is interacting on twitter is actually a really good recruiting tactic because its making it out to be more laid back and player friendly 

Well just as long as he doesn't make them sound desperate.

I wonder why you left off his TDs in those stats you parroted.

Star CB they say, not so much when against Bills across from Diggs. He might be happy getting away from Diggs lol

So every player rumored by reputable places, or every player mentioned at some point in one of these threads??

Woods is so tempting.

 

whoever we get as TE2….if they can’t block a lick, I’ll be pissed.
