I love Shakir both as a player and a person, but I'm not sure the Bills will be able to afford him.

They are likely not going to break the bank for a slot receiver, nor should they, but it's also likely that somebody else will.

Breaking the bank ? No

 But making a fair respectful offer ? Heck yes. The Kid has earned it , the hard way too!

Rousseau, Benford, Shakir and Bernard will all be resigned. Cook wont.

Hmm...

Thats a pretty full plate for Beane to manage.

But he is a Wizard after all 😋

Why does Beane have to draft so well?

He’s also very good at finding late round gems.

Yes

I always find this stuff interesting especially with the systems that the Bills run. 
 

Benford is a top CB in this system but would he excel in another system. Is he worth a 6 year 90 million dollar contract+. He’d probably be the top guy I’d resign

 

Bernard would seem like the guy to go but he’s the leader of the defense , is a very valuable piece to this defense and would probably be the hardest to replace but he’s also the most injury prone but with Milano likely nearing the end he’s probably worth keeping with Williams as the future tandem

 

Shakir will probably get 18-20 million dollars to bring back. I am not a proponent of signing WRs to big contracts. He’s Allen’s security blanket right now and there is obviously a really good connection but I’m of believe WRs can be replaced as like as you draft and develop. 
 

I’d probably go Benford, Bernard, Shakir in that order. Hopefully we can keep them all but it’s highly unlikely with Rousseau needing to be paid. That’s why I was surprised they paid Spencer Brown with cheaper options as a replacement 

 

People also need to remember that the Bills can get out of a lot of their bigger contracts in 2026. They can save 17 million on Von Miller, 9 million on Milano if they post June 1st him, 9 million on Knox, and 6 million on Samuel. Obviously some large dead cap with these guys and not all of them will be let go but if they are serious about keeping their young elite players a couple of these moves might be necessary to facilitate this.

Hell yes!  That's the young core of the future.  Arguably the heart and soul of the team outside of Josh.
