After Day 1

[Ethan in Cleveland]

I'm in London right now crushing it in the gym 4 hours ahead of Buffalo.

Knowing what we know now, on Day 2, what would your plan be if you were GM?

 

Me, I think I sit tight at this point and let things settle. 

Beane plugged some holes.

If I'm him, I see what happens at safety and edge over the coming weeks. 

My guess is there will be some value at safety. 

 

If I had to make a move, I would make a run at Chase Young ( see what I did there?) and see if he is willing to go mercenary and sign a 2 year deal (that really is a one year prove it) like Floyd did last year. 

 

BTW, saw Chelsea vs Northampton last night. Must say it was fun but not really thrilling like so many soccer fans suggest. Atmosphere was more polite than raucous. The Northampton fans were in one section and shouted the entire match(did I get that right?). The Chelsea folks mostly sat and watched. It was a Monday night. No beer in the stands and their main beer was Singha which is their sponsor.

My guess is we'll see Dane Jackson return as Outside CB4 and Ty Johnson return as RB3. Maybe there's a fun move like a vet RB2 or a mid tier Outside WR3 with the potential to Start in the event that our Round 1 WR doesn't have his sea legs under him at the next level immediately.

 

But I tend to agree he's probably laying low. Waiting for teams to spend their money and then fill some holes with the best of what's left, at decent prices.

You mean Newcastle, not Northampton, right?  How strong was the Singha?!

"Crushing it in the gym" with both hands on your smartphone?

Chelsea are terrible that's why.

Northampton Town is a team. But they won't be sniffing the Premier League any time.

It wasn't a great game, despite (spoilers) finishing 3-2. Shame you couldn't make it to Liverpool v Manchester City the day before!

Had me checking the women's results there.

100% agree. Couldn’t be happier with the way we started our new season. We knew things would be tight but Beane found a way to still keep 2 key pieces from last years D in DQ and AJ. He got our best backup QB back on a cheap contract and he hasn’t overpaid for anyone overrated (well maybe Rapp). Now let free agency come to you, no need to rush and spend on one of the 20+ safeties still available. Hopefully the scouting department killed the draft prep and we hit on all of our picks. After the draft we hit on any remaining holes. 
 

Side note: impact players are still going to be released in the upcoming days and months (Khalil Mack, maybe even Nick Chubb) We’ll be fine playing the long game 

[Matt_In_NH]

Not sure where they are cap wise but I don’t want to restructure Diggs.  I think they can gain some more space by extending Johnson and. Maybe a couple other minor moves.  I don’t expect much more but as FA goes I expect low end wr  safety dt de and ol signings.  Kinda like Rapp and puna last year type deals.

Was going to say, not the best representation of English football. Chelsea are nicknamed 'The Pensioners' and their fans have always been more well off. Definitely not blue colour. Newcastle fans, on the other hand would have been more representative.

And the match going Chelsea fans I know are where I was back in 2019.... going to games feeling it impossible to associate with any of the mercenaries on the pitch for them. That club is a mess at the moment.

Absolutely a mess. No direction at moment. Not that I'm feeling sorry for Chelsea scum.

Definitely seemed that way

I mean, I would love it if we got Dane back for one more year a la Levi Wallace.

 

I do think it's notable that after Day 1, the signings were bringing back expired vets, meaning that they probably had an offer from Beane, waited to see what they got and ultimately came back.

Great no one else wanted Epenesa or Lewis so we just had to keep them....

Fwiw, my nephew the dyed in the wool Chiefs fan who’s heavy on their boards told me that was one of the targets that fan base really liked—probably the tip play ingrained in their collective memory? 🤷🏼‍♂️

Or DaQuan?

It means that the Bills didn't overpay for vets

[strive_for_five_guy]

Sign Justin Simmons, then Derrick Henry or AJ Dillon, and I’m ecstatic.  All the moves made so far have been in-house.  Beane’s got to have a couple external targets too.

[bills6969]

We need to sign a safety.  Who are some realistic options still out there? Chinn? Fuller (Rams)? CGJ?
