the process that has lead up to this point is confusing af

AZ wanted a lot for him and no one wanted to pay it.

 

That's the jist of it.

[FLFan]

Now that he is a free agent, I think you should take all his comments about where he wants to play, with what QBs, and that money is not the issue with a grain of salt.  In the end, it will be about the money, just like it was with OBJ.  

[SCBills]

Bills have to get this done. 
 

We know he wants to come here .. and while he has mentioned other options .. I’m sorry, the fact he mentions Buffalo/Allen so frequently and always first when asked, means something. 
 

We have, hopefully/potentially, two more high level years from Diggs, Von, Tre, Hyde & Poyer.   Maybe more, maybe less, but hopefully we can get two more years like that with all five together. 
 

Then we will be looking at, not rebuilding, but retooling the roster a good bit.  
 

Add Hopkins to the mix.  Kincaid may be the future, but we don’t have to count on a rookie, in this Super Bowl window, by making an obvious move. 
 

If it’s about money, and he signs with some random team, so be it … but if he’s down to Bills, Chiefs, Ravens, Jets etc…

We know Hopkins wants to be here so that gives us a chance. Beane will have to work some magic but I really think we can make this happen.

He'll find a creative way for a 2 year deal. It will involve some more restructures.  This is the WR2 we've been waiting for.  Maybe he'll take less also?

To make this happen the Bills trade Ed Oliver? 

 

What realistic trades or cuts would need to happen??

 

Wouldn't necessarily have to cut or trade anybody if you have a couple contracts that can be restructured. Can't assume anybody would take Oliver and his contract, and that would just create another roster need. 

[78thealltimegreat]

This whole AZ process is to clear dead cap off the books so they can be terrible and in 2024 have Drake Maye or Caleb Williams under center cause they’ll be able to absorb Murray’s dead cap hit next year when they ultimately cut him too.

Still can’t afford it. Moot. 

You sure?

[Sharky7337]

You absolutely would rather get dhop and pay him then pay Davis and having d hop would make the offense on par receiving wise with the other top tier talents

[DJB]

Ok folks how many pages does this one get to? 

 

I'm taking bets, so please place your wagers.

Don't rule out the Jets. They are also in win now mode and having Rodgers as the QB makes them a decent option.

 

Aren't the Jets having issues getting Quinnen Williams signed?  Given that and their current WRs Dhop to the Jets would surprise me.

Early on, it was 50/50.  After the draft, it was just a matter of time.

[gordong]

Well now we find out of Beane has the stones to really go for it...

[aristocrat]

Beane better cancel his weekend plans 

[Maynard]

I just got off the phone with Brandon. I gave him the permission to proceed.
