Somewhat of a throwaway comment (not totally relevant) here that I can't exactly trust bc of my age at the time, but haven't we had 2 players do this with some success in both Aaron Williams and George Wilson? Williams for sure was a solid player and CB, Wilson was a LB who's success I remember much less of the 2

ย 

Wilson was a.WR who converted to safety, if memory serves.

Agreed he was done the moment he got hit with that injury. Bummer.

ย 

It still likely is job 1 even with this addition. I dont see any needs on Offense as glaring as the needs at CB and DT on Defense.

ย 

ย 


Weโ€™ll see what they do with Gabe and/or a surprise Mitch Morse cut, but outside of those two.. the rest of the Offense is coming back. ย 
ย 

-Allen

-Diggs, Harty, Shakir, Shorter

-Dawkins, Brown, Van Demark

-McGovern, Torrence, Anderson

-Morse, Bates

-Cook

-Kincaid, Knox

ย 

If we let Gabe walk, Iโ€™d hope our RD1 pick is WR, but itโ€™s likely going to be a heavy defensive draft at DL, S & CB.ย 
ย 

Cut Tre for 6M & extend Douglas at least gives us Douglas, Benford & Elam. ย No need to reach for CB, imo. ย DL is going to have to be addressed in a big way, without much foreseeable cap to do so. ย

Have you read the board and people on Twitter? His time as a Bill is done to a ton of people here


He very well may be done. It certainly is a possibility, especially with his contract but I canโ€™t imagine any fan of this team not pulling for him.

He very well could be. But most people are talking like it's a certainty without seeing how it plays out and to me it's ignorant. I guarantee you, the Bills wanna play this out and he will be here for training camp which is the right way to go

Packers realize they got fleeced and trading a guy who's "almost 30" sounds better than trading a guy who just turned 28.

again My apologies for not having read the whole thread and perdon if this was already posted.

ย 

Could the Bills strike Twice with impact secondary free agent signings from the Packers. Micah Hyde anybody?

ย 

wouldn't that be SWEET is Mr Douglas carries on that tradition

ย 

WELCOME TO BUFFALO!!!!! You will soon know OUR rabid fan base. I've always respected Green Bay for their fandom and actually owning their team

I hope you stack stats amigo BRING IT

ย 

GO BILLS

White probably wasnโ€™t coming back to the Bills after the Achilles regardless of them acquiring Douglas. It would have been job 1 for Beane in the draft or FA. Itโ€™s too bad , but not a ton of track record for CBs coming back from those .ย 

Yeah, I thought the same thing, this just seems like the nail in the coffin so to speak.

DT is a huge need, but more the 1 tech so it doesnโ€™t have to be a top pick to get that. ย CB isnโ€™t THAT bad if Douglas works out . Safety is a major concern. ย I am interested to see how they address the S spot, I could see a complete reset or possibly bringing Hyde back on a deal like Po got this year. ย I think Poyer is gone, he looks pretty mediocre out there. ย 
ย 

As bad as Johnson is getting beat on inside leverage this season, I kinda wonder if they wouldnโ€™t flip him to S w Hyde and look for a better slot CB, might kill 2 birds with one stone. ย 

ย 

I thought maybe Benford would make the move, but heโ€™s been the best CB on the team, so thatโ€™s out. ย  I wonder if Elam could make the move? ย Heโ€™s certainly athletic enough and pretty physical, maybe he would be better served playing ball hawk than zone corner.

If Douglas is a quality starter and good ย scheme fit, then CB is not a glaring need entering 2024. Probably going to need a WR2 as I donโ€™t believe their going to ( or should) pay Davis what WRs get on second contracts these days. Theyโ€™ll almost certainly add a CB somewhere , but it wonโ€™t be first on the list imoย 

I think WR has to be a priority, Davis will likely get paid way too much to make sense. ย He hasnโ€™t been the guy you want as a 2. ย Diggs is getting up there too, itโ€™s time to try to bring in another #1 in this draft to pair w Diggs and eventually replace him.

What do you think Kincaid was for?

George Wilson was a former WR who converted to safety.ย  Does that refresh your memory?

1.ย What is your favorite Bills moment or memory?

For me, I just moved from wide receiver to safety [and] we played the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football here in Orchard Park. I got a pick six off of Tony Romo on the first series. It just kind of electrified the crowd and it was a big moment of that ball game and it essentially kicked off the second phase of my playing career because I switched positions that offseason.
