Pegula has no stomach for any major changes with the Bills.  He’s probably just happy they aren’t the Sabres.

I wish Kim was back to her normal healthy self and heavily involved in the organization.  But I agree Terry seems loyal to his people is probably happy enough with what he has.

Smiley let go.  No significant player moves this quickly…as there is zero reason for it.

I agree with this, or at least hope Smiley is sent packing.  So many special teams gaffes that are inexcusable.  

 

No reason for any player shakeups before the league calendar starts.

I would be all in on mortgaging whatever for Garrett.  Sure, it hurts resources down the road, but the team still has a great 2-3 year window right now.  Get er done.

I expect ST coach is let go. It should have happened LAST year. It better happen this year. A serious liability!

I am good with that as well. As we have seen with our system that we can thrive with a lot of JAG's but lack star power. I dont see any draft pick or free agent that can do what Garrett would.

Yep,  and if we just keep blowing high picks on players like Coleman, Kincaid, Elam, etc..  you might as well throw a bunch of draft resources to get Myles in here.

Smiley gone, Von will be a post June 1st cut, and we may see a few guys getting contracts over the next few months (Benford, Bernard, Rousseau, Cook)

 

I would say the biggest shock move would be Cook getting an extension this offseason.

Bills announce that Beane will be locked in the bathroom for the first 2 rounds of the Draft. He'll run the rest of the offseason for the Bills.

Posted (edited)

My hope is they go get a elite defensive end or wideout in trade when the league year opens.  That's my hope.

 

What is more likely is they either release Von or make him take a paycut.   Smiley is toast as well.

We’re all just assuming the Bills will run it back, no changes. I think that’s the course.

But any chance you just see McD up and leave due to burnout or something? or get fired?  Beane?

Any big name players out the door other than maybe Von, Milano, Hamlin?

Expand  

There should be,  like fire the defensive coordinator and hire someone from the outside.  McDermott should be told and not asked to replace both special teams coordinator and defensive coordinator

obviously i want to clean house (wanted it since 13 seconds).

 

in reality, i think the ST corch gets canned, i could see some assistants getting shuffled, position coaches replaced, outside chance a consultant comes in for special situations or some kind of thing, but aside from smiley i don't see much change in the front office.

 

player wise, cook is a clear must extend.  i could see allen getting a rework or extension to create cap and keep him around longer.  von is a cut, likely june cut.  hamlin tests FA, but i don't think they want him to be the starter next season.  milano will be kept, he was really good in the playoffs and will cost to much to cut.

 

i could see some contracts reworked or extended.

 

the garrett trade mentioned above would be a dream, but isn't that DE in cinci a free agent?  him and higgins might be my top targets for monster FA contracts.  we need pass rush, and we need an offensive weapon.  i want as many chips put into the best outside wr and the best pass rusher i can get.

 

for the rest of the roster, i think you just draft guys with athletic skills to get faster and stronger.  we had morrow and spencer out there with bishop and cam lewis vs baltimore.  some group of rookies and street free agents can get us there.

I expect Beane to be aggressive in FA in upgrading the talent on both sides of the ball. Allen has a good supporting cast around him, but it needs to be better as the playoffs have shown us. So as for the team there will changes as it is every offseason with every team. As for the FO. No change. Beane and McDermott are not getting fired anytime soon.

 

  I would hope not.. as disappointed as I am I hope people remember how much of a mess this team was before those two got here.

This offseason?   No.   I don’t know Pegula’s “hot seat” thermometer.   He’s suffered fools at his other sports organization.

 

With the deepest respect for the “process” and those who implement it, I’m afraid we’re organizationally at a ceiling.   Next year, Super Bowl or move on from McBeane.

 

There are times when those who build an organization are not the same as those who bring it to its highest heights.   Theya re different skill sets, mindsets.

 

I want our John Gruden.    If I know who that was, I’d be making a lot more money than I am.    Perhaps the actual John Gruden?
