Beane: “working on at least 2 veteran UFA’s”

Beane said he didn't necessarily expect to get to 90 the other day. He said he expects them to get to 83 or 84. 

 

Either than means they will fill the rest with rookie try outs or maybe they go to camp light? 

 

Well we're at 83 now between the roster we had prior to the Draft, the Draft picks we made, the addition of Murray, and the 7 (yet to be announced officially) UDFA signings.

 

So I think it will probably be closer to 90 than that, unless some cuts are made or we're only signing 1 more player.

I have always been of the opinion that there should be 2 kickers and punters in camp.  I don't want Bass and Martin having to kick if

they feel too tight or strained.  It hasn't always happened in the past with the Bills, but I don't care.  They should do it.

the last 2 one year contracts stuck in the copier....

Matt Ioannidis might be the DT they are targeting I think.

 

He's got experience in the Bills defensive system (played for Rivera for a long time), highly aggressive pocket collapser, former teammates with Tim Settle, also has DE flexibility which the Bills covet.

 

Would make a lot of sense.

 

Love Ioannidis

‘Tis the season for dumpster diving for one-year vets.

Not this year whenever it comes to defensive lineman. Still a lot of good ones out there.

I am slightly confused by the defensive tackle thing. Isn't the issue less about numbers at the position this year and more about not having any under contract for next year (so facing yet another total makeover of the spot which no doubt will involve Beane spending all of his FA pennies there)? So how does signing a vet to a 1 year deal help? 

 

The attraction to drafting a guy was a cheap 4 year deal. An expensive 1 year deal makes less sense to me, even if they end up cutting Tim Settle.

 

I think that they will go defensive end before they go defensive tackle
 

I think that maybe the thought of defensive tackle is we need to get bigger since we won’t be running with a big linebacker

 

I like Ed oliver I think he’s grossly underrated by a lot of people, but it looks to me like we really only have one true one tech on the team settle isn’t it

[TheBeaneBandit]

Come on Beane score us a nice surprise today!

- Extend DaQuan Jones

 

- Poona Ford / Matt Ioannidis / Al Woods

 

- Melvin Ingram

- Yannick Ngakowue / Justin Houston / Leonard Floyd / Robert Quinn

I'd like that too, but we have the equivalent of a Natty Light budget right now.

 

So I think Ngakaoue is likely too expensive as well.  

 

I'd expect: Poona Ford and possibly a RB like Murray.

 

I'm not expecting any moves over $2m, and likely rules out trying to make any "upgrades" but focused more on depth

You hit the exacta. 

[Buffalo_Stampede]

Does Murray count since he said he signed him during the draft?

 

Im still hoping for a veteran pass rusher.

Most importantly, played in Carolina

Melvin Ingram would be awesome.

We already signed the FA RB. I think he is just working on the DL/DT at this point.

Ha! I thought that for a second and then went with being right for posterity sake. well played.

 

Looks like we got the DT/NT too.

What needs do we have left

LB seems unlikely based on various comments from Beane so....

- RT to compete with Brown:  George Fant or Brandon Shell 

- Veteran Edge (my dream is 2 of them:  Melvin Ingram + Ngakoue/Houston/Floyd/Quinn)  Trade Epenesa or Basham for a late pick

Von
Rousseau

Ingram

Ngakoue 

Shaq

is a heck of a rotation 

We can extend DaQuan Jones and restructure Dion Dawkins to make it work

What is the date we can sign players without it affecting comp picks?

Well yes, however you also may want to at least to some extent take into consideration that you can't always go by what Beane says at times
