I've said it before.... we are always gonna have to target 2nd tier FAs, or make a big trade with one of our 1st to get a prime player, and the reason is the cold temps.

 

It's why we needed to build a domed stadium.

 

I have family that lives in Miami.  My brother works at a prominent Course in S. Florida and has spoken to many NFL players. He asks them all the time, come to Buffalo and play with Josh Allen. They all say the same thing.... naw, too cold. They state that it's not the city the detracts them, it's playing in the strong windy cold conditions of Orchard Park.

 

It's why we needed a domed stadium. Players know that their careers get out a little short playing in those conditions.  We may have the worst weather situation in the NFL. Greenbay is a close second, they get the cold, but no so much the snow amounts.

 

What?  This is nonsense.  They practice in good conditions most of the time so you’re talking about maybe 3 or 4 games a season where they “suffer” for a few hours?  Come on, man, you can’t possibly believe this.

 

Anyway, the new stadium isn’t going to be as windy and is more of a “contained” bowl that will certainly not feel as cold.

Paulson Adebo just signed with the Giants, no numbers yet but he was the guy I wanted the Bills to go after. I’m guessing since he was the first outside CB his contract is huge

Well this FA was a bust. Atleast the east is still clearly ours 

[jaybeezee]

We will overspend for some Curtis Samuel type that's coming off some sort of injury. Trust me, people expect Beane to all of a sudden not be Beane and that's the funny part of all of this.

 

Beane will never ever make another Diggs move, even though he should. DK could of been had for one of our second rounders, but nope!

 

Now he will draft some project with that pick and people on this board will make excuses for it.

One thing to keep in mind is that NFL owners must put the guaranteed money of contracts into an Escrow account. It's called the funding rule, I believe. That means between the guys we have extended and Allen's new Contract, Terry has had to pony up 361.2 Million so far this offseason.  So we might not be going after higher end FA's

I used to think that, but the funding rule is not mandatory. It reads "may" not "shall":

If you look at the modern landscape of the NFL with its (over)reliance on the QB and aren't willing to play in like 3 bad weather games per year with arguably the best QB in the entire league, then maybe winning Super Bowls isn't for you. 
 

 

Well, let's be honest.  Some might say if you go to Buffalo, it's the perfect place for not winning SB's.

Between the two, I have to resign 26. 

With one of the deepest RB drafts ever? While he’s a good 3rd down back I wouldn’t overpay for a RB.

Thank you, it was in the back of my mind for some reason.  Peggs seems to be a guy who would  make sure our guys got their money.

Same thing happened a few years ago on July 1st, which the start of NHL FA.  It drove people to TSN/ESPN.  Same thing happening today.
