Find quality players on teams already giving up on this year and looking for picks to rebuild.

Find quality players at need positions in the final year of their rookie contracts, making a salary of less than $2 million a year. Since the season is almost half over, they would cost less than $1 million.

Consider them short-term, low-risk rentals.

Buffalo has plenty of picks at round 3 or higher next year. Don’t give up round one or two picks.

Make sure they were drafted in the earlier rounds and would give Buffalo high-comp picks if they refuse Buffalo’s offer going forward.

If they work out, Buffalo can make them a competitive offer going forward; if not, move on.

Buffalo gets the first shot at making them an offer if they work out.

Purge current players who make big money and hurt the cap if they do not return performance relative to cost. But don’t take huge future cap hits. Have plenty of cap in 26 available for free agents.

Use their higher picks next year to acquire promising talent at needed positions. They will try to remain as competitive as possible with limited but high picks.

Get a damn good kicking prospect in the draft, they don’t require high picks.

Allen’s window is rapidly closing.

In 26, use the comp picks to load up on talent for one major drive for the Superbowl while Allen is still in his prime.

Go for the Superbowl this year with the traded talent and go all out in 26.

Cool post.

I’m all on taking swings on talent, particularly for draft picks. 
 

draft picks are sooooo overrated.

Except they are very good for cost control.

DL Targets

 

Myles Garret IF the medical team is certain he can play the rest of the year with his feet issue at a high level.  Unlikely to be traded
 

Za'Darius Smith has a very low hit, we could acquire him straight up. The kind of physical DL man a team like the Ravens adds. 
 

Raiders won't eat $ so Maxx Crosby is not available to us.   

Cam Jordan if the Saints are willing to retain $  and their owner has seemingly infinite pockets with no regard for the cap, so who knows

Azeez Ojulari is only 24 and has 4 sacks on the year, but supposedly is not in NYG's future plans.   This would be a solid addition. Bleacher Report specifically mentioned the Bills as a suitor. 

Josh Uche, he's looked really good at times against us. 

Sebastian Joseph-Day   29, 1 year 4 mil.  Didn't we have interest in him in the summer?

Jeffrey Simmons.  Him and Josh seem to be trash talking friends.  His contract looks very prohibitive to a trade unfortunately

Yeah that’s fine when they are good players. Cost-controlled crummy players aren’t worth it, and the large majority of them are.

Nice post dude, 
 

Cam Jordan has been a great player but the decline is real, he’s also the same age as Von. 
 

Obviously the heavy hitters that are likely unobtainable; Crosby/Garrett would be nice but I’d like them to go with Ojulari or Uche. Both are still young, might be cheap to retain and if are would fill the void that Groot leaves if he’s priced himself out of an extension.

I doubt the Bills will make another trade before or at the deadline.  Last season there were only 6 trades on deadline day and only 15 total from Sept 20th through Oct 31.  Given our limited cap space and how infrequent NFL trades are, the Cooper trade is likely Beane's only move.

I expect we acquire a starter at another position as well.  Not sure why, but Beane's comments seemed more aggressive than usual IMO

we need to find a safety

let's say we do....Sean won't allow the player to start for 2 months  

[SoonerBillsFan]

We need to find a bigger  and more physical DL or Two, and a bigger Linebacker.  If we want another WR so be it. All of them on the last year of their deals so our cap looks exactly the same next year as it was going to.  IF all goes well with Cooper I work to extend him.  We need to push the chips in and go for it this year.  A couple more adds, esp on D, and we can make a real run.  

 

If it doesnt work, our rookies still got reps, we have draft picks and cap room next year to do whatever it was we were going to in the first place.

I think we are done making moves.  Enjoy the team as is.

Hey, that is what the team hired their staff for. You gotta perform for the big bucks. Produce or head to the unemployment office. Posters on here keep saying Beane is a magician; prove it.

That is what this strategy is about, managing the cap, living within your limits, and having a multiyear strategy. We can't sign everyone, but we must do everything we can to win while Allen's window is open.

Damn, Beane is sleepwalking again and posted his plan on TBD. 

I wish, that would mean he is not done proving he has the magic in his fingers.

Cooper started 4 days after a trade

[BillsVet]

Making a trade at positions they're not dealing with significant injuries is a sign the off-season plan was significantly flawed.    

  

This off-season you'd hope they revise their predictable offensive and defensive schemes which means downstream of that...their roster priorities.  

 

Can't have the HC, GM, and the staff being so complacent with their beliefs and not acknowledging what they do often doesn't work against the better teams.  That is, if you want to get to and win the SB.  Anything less is failure at this point, especially with the way the league is situated with no dominant team.

We're trading Josh if we loose?  Rebuild.

Was nodding along until you made the stupid statement about Allen's window closing
