Augie Posted March 13 Posted March 13 I’m guessing he won’t go hungry after missing a year for betting $1,500. 2 Quote

His deal was always kind of looked at like a 1 year deal. They can get out of it and save cap space. Which, after this move, they probably need. I'd expect him to be released soon. 1 Quote
strive_for_five_guy Posted March 13 Posted March 13 11 minutes ago, The Wiz said: I don't know how the Bills are going to get an "insurance" WR to replace Gabe with how most of these deals are for WRs. Even a WR3 is going to cost a lot. That’s why they need to target WR in the draft. Plus, they have the chance to find a real WR1/2 there, whereas Gabe’s ceiling is more WR2/3. Quote
BillsFanForever19 Posted March 13 Posted March 13 9 minutes ago, Logic said: They did that already. Mack Hollins. Another big-bodied, downfield threat, run blocking guy that can start opposite Diggs in a pinch but hopefully won't have to once they draft a rookie high. WR1 Diggs WR2 ??? (hopefully rookie) WR3 Shakir WR4 ??? (hopefully rookie or another FA) WR5 Hollins/Shorter I'd expect at least 6 this year. Every other year under McDermott, we kept 6 or 7 on the 53. Last year was a bit of an anomaly as we had 12 DL under contract that we wanted to keep. That number is usually closer to 10 and we won't have that problem this year. 1 1 Quote
FireChans Posted March 13 Posted March 13 10 minutes ago, Logic said: Having Will Levis's top two receiving options be a 30-year-old and a 31-year-old -- and both on big contracts -- seems...kinda weird to me? I mean, on the one hand, he's got reliable vets to lean on. On the other hand, you'd think you'd want a youngster at the position that Levis can grow with? Plus, deciding not to pay 24-year-old AJ Brown and then deciding to pay 30-year-old Ridley two offseasons later (yes I know it's a different front office) is such a weird look for the Titans. Maybe I'm crazy. Probably not. I think they're building their team weirdly. I don’t think the growing thing matters. I think that teams, years ago, decided they should do everything they to help their QB develop into a great passer. Run game is irrelevant. Defense is irrelevant. Surround your QB with weapons and figure out if he’s the guy. Levis is gonna get a shot. And unless Hopkins is shot, Levis can win 9 games on that team and prove he’s the guy. Then you can worry about everything else. Man I gotta say, merging EVERY big FA signing into the free agent tracker thread is really silly. For little deals, sure I get it. for the big names or potential Bills targets? Just asinine. What else do we have to talk about? 1 1 Quote

This is how bad teams stay bad. Agreed. lot of red flags with this guy. He also sort of plays soft. 1 Quote

Chicken Boo Posted March 13 Posted March 13 Very happy for Ridley, after his suspension, to lock up a contract like that. 1 Quote

Gregg Posted March 14 Posted March 14 Ravens to release OBJ. Dan Graziano on X: "Barring an unexpected last-minute extension, you'll see the Ravens release Odell Beckham before midnight ET tonight with a post-June 1 designation. Beckham and the Ravens restructured his deal in January, eliminating the void years and allowing the team to use post-June 1 on him." / X (twitter.com) 1 Quote

strive_for_five_guy Posted March 15 Posted March 15 Of Safeties still out there, besides Simmons, anyone know the deal with guys like Kamren Curl or Julian Blackmon? Would they decent signings for us, or anyone else? Quote

Like it or not, the most important trait to McDermott on Defense (and in turn Beane) is players who have experience playing under him in his scheme. That is always going to take precedent to this regime. Lewis is a backup. We'll still be filling a hole at Starter opposite Rapp. Quote
JoeF Posted March 15 Posted March 15 (edited) Does Trent Sherfield deserve his own thread?...he signed a one-year deal with the Vikings. Bills UDFA are dropping like flies today...Dodson, Settle, Sherfield.... Edited March 15 by JoeF Quote
