I suspect that the Bills will make similar small to lower-mid-level additions this season. For one the Bills are capped strapped and two I doubt they want to give up much draft capital. I think defensively a depth LB, depth corner like Levi Wallace or a startable 1T DT will be made. Maybe 1-2 of those smaller additions. As far as offensively barring major injuries I think we are looking at smaller role-player additions like a Patterson or a Mecole Hardman both would be cheap and add some pop to the offense. Can’t give up too much draft capital. The next Boogie Basham and Kaiir Elam are waiting around the corner! 2 2 2 Quote

Hicks is playing solidly (good PFF rating, decent stats and fans seem to think he is having a solid year) and could be had for cheap. I am not sure how his contract is for future years, however. If the cap his is easy to get out of in 2024, I think a 5th rounder could get it done if the hit this year and next year is manageable. Although I would think the Bills are looking to the next 3 games to see if Dodson/Williams can step up before making a move at LB. 1 minute ago, FireChans said: Can’t give up too much draft capital.

The next Torrence, Bernard, Benford, Groot or so many other good talents the Bills have found in drafts in recent seasons could also help the team short and long term. Just silly to say mortgage the farm because like any team the Bills have some busts. 4 Quote

The reality is that Epenesa had 6.5 sacks on just 38% of the defensive snaps last season. He has a PFF grade of 85 and has 3 sacks and has made a bunch of big plays this season. All it takes is one team...........just like with Bradley Chubb(also a pending free agent) last season........and Epenesa is playing A LOT better than Chubb was.

Absolutely right though, every team has busts. Just need more successes that are retained to maintain a winning program. Quote
BigAl2526 Posted October 14, 2023 Posted October 14, 2023 Jeremy Chinn is listed as a safety/linebacker. How well could he handle being a full time linebacker? He was listed as 6'3" 221 lbs coming out of college. That's not far from Milano's weight. He would be one of the fastest linebackers in the league. Quote

If a good player that makes sense and fits the cap comes at the right cost (even if it is two firsts) then you take it. But I am also not a fan of a team making panic moves overpaying for players that don’t make enough of an impact. Balance is key to almost anything in life. And you should never mortgage the future for a bad opportunity to win now. 1 Quote

Apparently there’s whispers Philly have enquired about him. The pairing of Blankenship/Edmunds isn’t enamoring there… An upgrade would be desired. Quote

Im hoping that Williams can be that guy, it would be awesome if he can be a play maker maybe not as good as Millano was especially being his rookie year but if he can show that type of potential & use this year to get better as the season moves on then having him & Millano would definitely be a plus . I've read that he has been all over the field reading the oppositions D pretty good for being thrown into the fire, with a full week of prep maybe he can show that he was worth the pick & the Bills can get another diamond out of the late round picks the Beane has been known to do ... 2 Quote

It would take a minimum of 2 first round picks to get him, especially from a team expected to draft 25+. With a QB and receiver rich draft, I want our 1st rounder next year. With all the QB hungry teams, a great receiver is likely to be available to us. We need 1a receiver to complement and eventually replace Diggs. 2 Quote

Warriorspikes51 Posted October 19, 2023 Posted October 19, 2023 (edited) Some rumblings Derrick Henry may be traded to a contender. I’d offer a 2 in 2024 and a 4 that could become a 3 in 2025 I suspect he may be worth a 1st to someone Edited October 19, 2023 by Warriorspikes51 1 1 5 1 1 Quote
