Saquon Barkley is Still a Media Favorite to the Bills

I really don’t think this is the priority. There is no consideration for the Bills cap in this piece. Seems like a lazy analysis. 

[Success]

It's not a priority - but it would be amazing.

I don’t see it happening, even with the cap space. Bills drafted Cook pretty high and are paying Hynes over 4 million dollars next year. 

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

Whoever gets him will get him at a pretty bargain deal. No one is paying for RBs anymore. 

[GolfandBills]

People haven’t looked at our cap situation.  I know you can do some restructures but we already did a few.  It’s not happening this year    They need to create over 21 million in space just to get to 0 and operate.  More restructures and we’ll be the Saints in a couple years at 100 million over 

[Charles Romes]

Would rather have upgraded OL or receiver and roll with an ascending Cook as the 1 who can put on 15 pounds. 

[Don Otreply]

It’s talking head babble, nothing more, these “personalities” are required to put out content several times a day, regardless of how inane it is, much like Orlovskys latest QB list, this stuff is ninty nine percent poo.

The Giants still are in negotiations with him.  That’s a hard no that would ever happen.  Not that if we’re playing Madden that wouldn’t be fun.  
 

It’s been talked to death the priorities at WR, Guards, late a TE, a Safety and so on.  We’re not in the high end free agency business.  I’m just giving the voice of pragmatism.

 

Not wish lists.  It’s a waste of breath.

 Some believe McBeane are on the hot seat in this coming up season. One indicator could be how much cap space they create. I was told they could create about $40 - $45 million pretty easily through restructuring. Concentrating on the younger players(Allen, Milano, White, maybe Dawkins). Restructuring only with players you think you may extend again, then you can spread it out over even more years. 

 

  If they were inclined to keep Oliver they could extend him to free up some more space. Cutting a few players could also free up space, cutting Hines would save his whole salary, so $4.8 million just with him. 

 

Either way I think we're going to see alot of this while Josh Allen is still Josh Allen or we win a Super Bowl.

What do you consider a “bargain deal”?

Im going to predict he gets paid pretty well by someone … but maybe we have the same figure in mind?

The "some" are wrong.

 Oh, I agree. My guess is they have 2-3 more cracks at it. If there's no Super Bowl win after that then you could see the Pegulas move on, but who knows.

 

 I don't think they're in any hurry to move on from McBeane, especially after this past season. If there's no title and Josh is or is approaching 30 you may see some urgency out of the Pegulas then. But I think they're safe for the next few years.

There’s no money

Well maybe you could sell some of your yayo and help the Bills out. They can create money pretty easily freak show.

As long as the Bills are contenders Beane & McDermott are safe.  Changing coaches & GMs because the team didn't win the Super Bowl is a very dangerous thing.  There is no guarantee that the new guys will perform any better than the guys they replaced, and in a lot of cases the instability makes things worse.

Keep kicking the can down the road until Josh retires . Btw what players did the Saints lose again?

I am thinking he gets like $12m or $13m per year, and not going to get a lot of years on it (like 2-4 years). Consider too the market is going to be absolutely flooded with free agent running backs this year. 

[thenorthremembers]

He is an 8 million dollar a year running back even with the missed time.    The Bills dont have the money to afford that luxury. 

[Nephilim17]

If the Bills were still on Josh's first contract I'd love to see us get Josh Jacobs.

 

As it stands, let's spend the little money we will likely have one two quality guards, or a guard and right tackle.

I heard some media rumours that the Giants offered him $12m a year already and he turned it down...

 

Doubt be gets much more ..But that still is good money for an RB ...

 

Way too much for us though...
