WR 2  (VERTICAL) who can separate. 

CB 2  upgrade Rasul and Elam

DT 2 stud DTs

S replace Damar, add depth

[NewEra]

I’d love to resign all of those guys you named.  I think they’ve all vastly outperformed their contracts and will nice raises.  Dunno if we can afford them all

if we  can only re-sign one- lock up Mack Hollins.  He is a punishing blocker, special teams demon, clutch hands. and provides a nasty attitude.  If 2, sigh ALec Anderson.  He brings nastiness and tenacity as well

Hollins, Johnson, Anderson, Morris will all get signed. Gilliam is the money makes sense (vet minimum ish type deal).  Smoot will be gone

 

allen gets an extension and the draft is a safety/corner and dline in two of first three picks

we still need to get Josh help.  IMO we are desperate for WR1, CB2, and stud DT

[YodaMan79]

The two stud defensive lineman are a necessity.  They can help cover up the garbage behind them.  I had high hopes for Rousseau this year.  Looks like they need to start over there too.  AJE - The guy picks 2-3 games a year to show up and give us hope, then disappears to remind us all that we are stupid for having those thoughts. 

[May Day 10]

Need to improve the safety position. Hamlin is not physically adequate, and Rapp is oft injured.  Need a few corners too (value guys that McDermott can sprinkle his magic on).  Also need surgery on the front 6.  Too small and not physical enough.  

 

I would like to get the offense a weapon.  

 

Keep hollins he plays an important role.  Need to 

[y2zipper]

Most of the free agent list is players I'd let go of because i don't pay for intangibles. I'd prioritize Cooper and Anderson, everyone else there depends on money. Morris, Gilliam and Johnson are depth players I want back.

 

Miller, Epenesa and Jones as post June 1 cuts saves 30 million in cap space for next year and all those make sense in conjuction with an Allen restructure to free up money and rebuild the defensive line.

[Pete]

WR going forward:

Shakir is signed through 2025

Curtis Samuel is signed through 2027

Keon is signed through 2027.  Deadcap- we are stuck until 2027

 

Dalton Kincaid is signed though 2026

Knox is signed through 2026

 

IMO we must sign Hollins. That would still leave us with a desperate need for a vertical threat, or two.  Keon might figure it all out, but he hasn't shown yet that he can get free from jams or get separation.  Hes a good blocker, I will give him that. Still we need WR who can line up outside, and get separation- and that is not Keon.  Bills need 3 above average starters, minimal- 1 Tech, WR1, CB2

[KentuckyBillsFan]

I’m sure Beane will nail our early round picks like always

[Pete]

1) Tee Higgins, Cincinnati Bengals
2) Chris Godwin, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
3) Keenan Allen, Chicago Bears
4) Amari Cooper, Buffalo Bills
5) Darius Slayton, New York Giants
6) Marquise Brown, Kansas City Chiefs
7) Stefon Diggs, Houston Texans
😎 Josh Palmer, Los Angeles Chargers
9) DeAndre Hopkins, Kansas City Chiefs
10) Mike Williams, New York Jets

 

Tee Higgins is the only WR I like out of this top 10.  Probably a pipe dream, but WR 1 do not grow on trees and are not cheap.   Are there any under the radar, speed WR FAs that people like?
