Logic Posted March 15, 2022 Posted March 15, 2022 I think Beane has it right: Avoid the big overpays in free agency for the top tier guys. Instead, use free agency to plug holes, scoop up young players with potential who needed a change of scenery, add veteran role players, and make it so that you don't have glaring holes on draft day. Use most of your cap money to re-sign drafted players and retain home grown talent. Wash, rinse, repeat. The flip side of that coin is the wild spending on contracts that look bad when they're signed, and look even WORSE a year or two later. We saw this last year with New England handing out funny money to the likes of Nelson Algholor and Johnnu Smith -- contracts that ALREADY look bad and will only look worse with time. We're seeing it again this year with the Jaguars, who have given out giant contracts to lesser players like Christian Kirk, Zay Jones, and Even Engram, and whose offensive personnel STILL doesn't look particularly threatening. Free agent mega spending doesn't seem to regularly translate to wins or to stable cap situations. Using free agency judiciously to fill roster holes and allocating most of your money to homegrown talent and committing to building through the draft DOES seem to translate to consistent team success and cap stability. Beane has it right. Cue the Beane haters in 3, 2, 1... 8 1 Quote

NewEra Posted March 15, 2022 Posted March 15, 2022 NFLN fail. Watching free agent frenzy and they ask brunette female patriot reporter (her name escapes me) her opinion on what the bills should do this offseason. She says that the Bills have to focus on improving the middle of the Dline. No mention of settle or Jones. Just now, MiltonWaddams said: Not a bad signing. Foreman was good when Henry went down. Chubba and Foreman to backup McC? Might be on the move for Watson! Quote

Great size/speed ratio. Could have played the AJ Dillon role for us (it's the Neanderthal in me... and you). Oh well. Quote
