Free Agency Rumor Thread

[SCBills]

Josh Sweat

 

Charvarius Ward

 

Jevon Holland

 

To me, those are 3 guys who would be game changers for us on Defense. 
 

Money for Holland seems too rich for us and Ward will likely get paid paid.. which I’d be fine with, but obviously Benford dependent for how the FO views him long term.

I didn’t think Reed was anything really special. My home run remains Sweat or Hendrickson. 

 

he's underrated and Sauce is overrated IMO

Sweat looks like the home run at his point. 
 

Not a gamewrecker but gives us another Rousseau essentially, opposite Rousseau, with Oliver and allows us to keep draft capital to load up at DT.  
 

I said before… that DL starts looking like what the Eagles had last year.  

 

What side of the D does Sweat generally play?

I believe it was mentioned he can play both sides

I loved that lol

 

Locked him in a room with money, fishing equipment, and guns and he couldn't leave because of the Implication

Telling you what many, not all, but many have said. Go back and listen to Micah Hyde saying he went hard recruiting top tier guys to Buff and they told him the same thing.

 

Now with the everyone eats thing, we will definitely not get a prime WR interested in getting paid similar money to play in warmer weather with less state taxes, as well as being featured every week.

 

 

 

if this is true that we can't get players here due to the weather, than reasonable or not, if it's keeping people away, we should have built a dome.

After being hyped up with all sorts of potential trade targets, big name guys, etc...

...in reality, this free agency class wound up being WEAK SAUCE, and there are a few teams with absolute PILES of money that the Bills wouldn't wanna try to outbid anyway.

I expect the usual wave 2 and wave 3 bargain signings and role players, and onto the draft.

That's what it seems.  I just remember seeing him on both sides.

Thanks.

He was the CB I wanted the most. Oh well

This dude is the personification of DPI/Illegal contact.

I think the reporting on Bills/Sweat is accurate.  
 

Makes a ton of sense to be in on him.  
 

Garrett is 40M per year for one guy.   
 

Hendrickson will want in the 30’s. 
 

We should be completely fine paying, say, 45M for two guys in Rousseau/Sweat and keep all our draft picks.

Agreed, I'm just so tired of this. We do this every year, wind up with holes that aren't filled and then we lose to the Chiefs in the playoffs. When the hell are we going to go all in. Unfortunately this probably isn't the FA class to do that in. Big moves would have been trades this year and the one solid DT move I wanted to make re-signed with the Broncos.

I guess if you have space to burn why not. He’s good but don’t think he’s market setting good

[SoonerBillsFan]

We are seeing a ton of overspending right now.

Garrett is 31 and I’d hope his number is closer to 15

That's the biggest reason, outside of the " there's nothing to fo in Buffalo " statement that even our current players state.

 

Our only hope is an aging vet that wants to sniff a playoff game or 2 and possibly have the potential to go to a SB. But aren't we all tired of those signings?

The Chiefs/49ers symbiosis is alive and well

[TheWeatherMan]

The league is flush with garbage teams with tons of money to spend.  It’s going to be a quiet few days for the top teams in the league that have QBs on a second contract.

Josh Sweat going to the Patriots. 

Not surprising. They had over 90M in cap space. 

[jahnyc]

Yuck.
