Shaq Lawson returning

[Aussie Joe]

Well.. obviously they decided on the certainty of having Shaq on cheap deal now rather than waiting and seeing who is available in a month and whether they want to come to the Bills… for more money … Ingram was on $4m last year …

You said Shaq was mildly inspirational.  I was thinking Ingram would be inspirational

Yeah i get your sputtering rage in a general sense but being mad about Shaq Lawson isn't it dude.  He's been a very good player for the Bills, and you certainly aren't going to get an upgrade for what he's making

That’s part of the problem, the upgrade was suppose to be the guys Beane has been drafting for this D the past few years. Wasting picks and wasting money on guys who have proven they can’t help us get over the hump in playoffs. At this point I don’t know if we signed a player that can actually help this team move forward. And I’m putting zero faith in what they do in the draft because it’s been such a disappointment since Allen was picked

OT or MLB with first two picks 

No no, we need an OT and MLB with the first pick. 
 

Beane better find someone that can play both positions at once or I quit

First pick will be a linebacker… bank on it

 

But but but we are supposed to be drafting a 25 yo QB with fumbling issues with the first pick!!  I was told it was guaranteed!!  😆

Never let facts get in the way of a good riot.

I’m excited about Bernard, Dodson and Spector competing if the alternative is drafting a LB at 27. 

Exactly. All the time people wanted Beane to invest in the offense but it doesn't come without consequences. For me, if it means that we get much weaker at MLB so be it.

It should be less than that.

But what does signing Shaq have to do with Melvin? 

[billsfan89]

Solid move, he had a nice bounce-back year last year and he seems to be liked in the locker room. Certainly a positive move.

Bills are just treading water until they eventually sink. Same guys every year that can’t get the job done against the teams we will face in playoffs. It’s like they’re terrified to tiniest step back. McD picks these same guys over guys he drafted just because they have more experience. Bills gonna have the same ending as the past 3 years, our D not showing up in the biggest game. 

Bills don't have the money to make a big splash in free agency---salary cap is tight. I like all the mid range signings that they have down this off season & I think we're going to be a better team.

I get we don’t have money but year after year we are trotting the same players on the field. Now we are doing it because these guys are giving us a discount. Yippee!!!! We know what these guys bring to the table in January and how the stand up against the teams we are trying to beat. Nothing really has changed so I don’t know how you think this team will be better. Who even knows what we’ll get out of Von after his injury.

Big Yawn... Lets be serious if we dare. What about this team as constituted right now makes anyone reasonable think they can make it to the AFC Championship game? It's basically the same squad with a couple of fringe receivers and OL's added. I'm sure the Chiefs and Bengals, and even the Jets are shivering in their boots because the Bills have signed Hardy, McGovern, Harris, and Sherfield to some low-ball contracts. Nobody they draft is going to scare anyone either. If anything, there's even more pressure on Josh to carry them on his back in 2023 than last year... Bills have gotten older, and LESS talented then they were 4 months ago. 10 wins, 3rd place... Maybe.

Doesn't surprise me. He has really good value at his price
