Yes sir, for Beane and the other 31 GMs.

I only follow the Bills so I don't know much about other teams around the league, but there must be teams where they have plenty of quality O-linemen (or MLBs), so they might have to cut above average players at those positions. Are there any particular teams that fit this description?

No team in the league has a surplus of quality offensive lineman, it's in offensive lineman needy League.

Im about as fine as I could be with the OL after we didn’t address Tackle in any meaningful way this off-season. 
 

Kept young, upside players who outplayed veteran stop-gap depth. 
 

At least I can hope Van Demark at LT and Anderson at RT step up if needed .. and on a cap strapped roster, provide good developmental depth for years to come.  
 

MLB is where I’d really like to see something done via trade or a flyer on Kirksey/Jones. 

[CNYfan]

I hope The Garage is signed to the practice squad and agree with the young guys, as opposed to guys who you know are not top performers.

It's just really hard for me to believe that Christian Kirksey (124 tackles, 3 sacks, 2 INTs last season) isn't better than Tyrel Dodsen right now.

I get that he'd have to learn the defense and it might take him a minute to earn the green dot, but...no one can convince me that Kirksey -- even at 30 years old -- isn't an upgrade at MLB for this Bills team.

I mean deadline is 4pm, so where’s the list Beane? Come on Beane, get it together.

The Bills have released IOL Redcloud Baumgardner according to a league source. He should be a prime practice squad candidate based on his preseason play. High ceiling player with alot of potential.  

[Buffalo_Stampede]

Spector made it. IR candidate.

[UKBillFan]

With the likes of Kinksey and Jones available, if the Bills go into the season choosing between Dodson and Klein at MLB then serious questions need to be asked either of Beane, if he cannot bring someone in, or McDermott, if he tells Beane a MLB is not required.

Klein is OK. Dodson is troubling.

Think there are better options about at MLB than either now.

Sleepy Beane at it again, probably thinking about how to screw up next year's second round picks

They signed Kyle to back up Josh.  But it does mean they will be signing another QB for PS.

Yes.. really hope [insert name] can pick up the slack … otherwise looks like a pretty lackluster room unless [insert name] really turns it on.

I'll take "@ScottLaw's impression of every position group on the Bills except QB" for $2000, Ken.

[Dan Darragh]

Did we get Keenum?

My understanding is that because we put Matt on IR before tomorrow, he's out for the year.
