I did. Bad teams had mountains of cap space and the FA class was less than steller. Overpays were bound to happen.

Normally I agree, but damn.

Byron Murphy 3 years 66 Vikings

Cisco, Slayton and Reed are three guys I would have loved for the Bills at the money they got. Oh well.

Harris to Chargers. Up to 9.25 million.  Wonder if this will help in getting a deal with cook done

Welp we are officially to the “maybe with a change of scenery he could be good” portion of the CB market.

I think that money is actually pretty bad for the Chargers. Harris is not a good RB.

 

But it is just one year, so not too much risk there. I don’t think Cook can draw much from this deal.

Yea Cisco deal was alright esp for 1 year just think their invested in Bishop and Rapp is cheap. I’d expect them to add a vet safety bit on the cheap

Use Knox more as a fullback while having Gilliam for more traditional uses and special teams. No need to overpay a full back. 

 

I do think the is a good chance they re-sign Gilliam.  But I guess there is a chance they let that position go for an extra TE/WR.

I wouldn't mind that is they use TEs as FBs.

But Did the bills win the comp pick formula for losing Mack Hollins ? 

[EmotionallyUnstable]

So far we’ve added at WR and DE

 

Expexting mid to low average additions at DT and CB.

 

Money aside, I feel like they’ve addressed 2 of 4 obvious needs and need to plug up the other two before the draft…then take BPA for our first 3 picks and hope we have enough to run it back 🤷‍♂️ 

 

Still sorely lacking game breaking talent on D

Byron Murphy stays with Vikings

Murphy's been more of a Nickel throughout his career. Did it exclusively before coming to the Vikings.

 

I didn't list him among the guys left bc I don't think he's a full time perimeter guy.

Given how much Brady likes to run the ball I would say that they will have a full back. Gilliam makes sense because he's a core ST player and still fairly young as he will be 28 next season. Not sure teams really care to develop full backs Bills will have a ton of draft picks so a late round pick at FB is an option.

Bummed we couldn't sign Sweat.

#Bills got a lot better today. Michael Hoecht is going to be huge for their defense and special teams. Josh Palmer will be WR1. Hoecht is an energizer for the locker room. Josh Palmer is a separator and Josh Allen is going to be in love with him. Shakir and Palmer will complement eachother well.  -Rams content publisher/YouTuber

 

he’s the equivalent of Cover 1 guys for Bills

I hope you are right. Not sure Palmer is WR1 in the definition of WR1 based upon his past. He can play outside and get separation which is something we sorely needed. He’ll fit into everyone eats though. 
 

Hopefully, Samuel, Coleman and Dalton take a big leap forward this year which should help Palmer and vice versa.

Getting the sense that with this group of free agents it was all about money and location, not what team is competitive for a Super Bowl appearance.  I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

Me too. Especially at the deal he signed for. I'd have done that.

 

Both he and Groot would have made a better combo than he and Epenesa and the cost for both combined would have come in less than the cost of Garrett alone.

he may not have wanted to come here with the connection in AZ to the coaches

 

I figured someone would give him 100 Million

[jahnyc]

I don't think Palmer is a number one WR, and he may not be a number two based on his past production.  I hope I am wrong.

Interesting note:

 

Javon Holland is from Canada and would mesh with our other 2 Canada UFA’s😆
