From all indications this is a move to add him to the PS - not sure why anyone would be upset about that

Agree, They probably need close to 10M for PS and all the in season moves/guys going to IR. Dion Dawkins likely gets restructured

No, you can put two guys on IR on the day you cut to 53 and they can be deemed eligible to come back, you have to make that distinction when you put them on IR. They did this to get rid of the circumventing that was happening with release and resign deals....

Maybe if he promises to rape someone, Beane will sign him.

How is this a surprise to anyone?

It is, but it’s no coincidence that we traded ahead of Carolina for Dawkins. I have no doubt Beane had a lot of say as to who to target in that cycle.

the question should be does the floor of ogajobi rival that of jordan phillips? the coaches seem to think so.

I can't seem to find the Samuel was traded thread

Imagine how many more wins we'd have had every year with a competent front office and coaching staff. Probably could have won 5 or 6 more per year!

Maybe he hasn’t gotten drunk and hit anyone with his car or something along those lines? Dude doesn’t fit in.

He's been below average the last 2 seasons: Year FG % Ranking PAT 2020 82.4 18th 96.6 2021 87.5 13th 100 2022 87.1 12th 96 2023 82.8 24th 98 2024 82.8 21st 92.2 For rankings i'm only counting kickers with 10+ starts in that season. And he's been awful in the postseason with 78.3% FG and 91.7% PAT. Unfortunately we gave him a pretty large contract (for a kicker) after his 3rd season, only for him to regress badly in years 4 and 5. I thought he had kicked his way out of the yips with that 61 yarder vs Dolphins last year, but his pre-season performance has me worried.

It's an interesting group. The way I see it, the WRs that make it onto the 53 will all have to occupy different roles. For the bottom of the roster guys, that means avoiding redundancy, and having a significant role on special teams. If Samuel makes the roster, it will be for purely financial reasons, IMO. If he doesn't, I think Moore is a likely replacement for Samuel's role. His hands are reliable, and I did actually see him make a couple decent downfield blocks in the Bucs game-- not spectacular, but not bad for a guy his size. KJ would be the other player for that role, but while he is a fan/locker-room favorite, I think Moore is just more reliable. Wilkerson, and Shavers both had really good games this last week. Shaver's spectacular catch notwithstanding, Wilkerson looked to be the more consistent player to my eyes. And I think Shenault is getting serious consideration for the K/PR role. That might inspire McD/Beane to carry six WRs this season. It might also make the path for Shavers or Wilkerson to make the roster significantly steeper.

I don't know why people are complaining. They drafted Josh Allen.

No, I don't. But many criticisms are valid especially on the free agent front as I don't see a lot of impact coming from there. Hopefully that changes this year as we will need impact from the likes of Palmer, Hoecht, and Ogunjobi. It's not a great look when, year after year, you throw countless resources at the same group (DL) only to have to continuously go back to the well with guys like Phillips.

How many have they signed since Beane came in? 4 in 8 years?

Moore is a solid lock at this point. He is the primary backup to Shakir and has enough versatility to be safe on this roster despite what fans think. I think there is some question what they do with Samuel but I think he is also safe. Shavers makes 6 at this point.

Of all of those moves, which one do you think the Bills considered “major” or the missing piece to a Super Bowl roster? Sometimes it’s helpful to bring back a veteran who already knows the culture and standard, rather than a complete unknown. They’ve taken their shots with new guys as well. Based upon what they’ve done in their tenure, do you think Beane, McD, and their staffs are “clowns” or don’t know how to build a winner?

Maybe by the end of the day Jared can get 20 likes. Good luck my dude!!!!

I think we go 6 WRs this year

What Made the Democratic Party Go Crazy? By Victor Davis Hanson The answer was not Trump alone. Indeed, irony abounds when Democrats resonate with the claims of the vestigial Never Trumpers that the MAGA movement “hijacked” the Republican Party. In characteristic projectionist fashion, the left is simply falsely attributing to their opposition the very hijacking that hit the Democratic Party. The Republicans are still the party of conservatism and traditionalism. But in the last decade, it adopted an expansionary middle-class agenda that has led to record party registration, its first popular presidential vote victory since 2004, and control of all three branches of government. The MAGA emphases also have accomplished what prior “moderate” Republican presidents and presidential candidates had sought but largely failed to achieve: making inroads with minorities and youth and substituting class commonalities for racial chauvinism. Thus, in 2024, 55 percent of Hispanic men and somewhere around 25 percent of black males voted for Trump—along with a +2 advantage for Trump among young men in general (18-29). In contrast, Joe Biden left office with below 40 percent popularity in many polls. His replacement, 2024 Democratic nominee Kamala Harris, despite a substantial advantage in funding and overwhelmingly biased, favorable media coverage, lost both the popular and Electoral College vote. Since the election, a variety of data points show a steady erosion in Democrat Party favorability (24 percent positive polling) and voter registration (for the first time in memory, Republicans are out-registering hemorrhaging Democrats in new voter affiliations). They are also on the losing end of a 40/60 split among voters on most issues—especially the border, energy, crime, transgenderism, and foreign policy—a truth that even the legacy media cannot disguise. The Democratic implosion does not necessarily mean they will not win back the House in the next election. Historically, it is difficult for even an unpopular out-party not to pick up lots of House and Senate seats in an administration’s first midterm. But if Democrats capture at least the House, the vote will not be for their party’s policies or politicians as much as a reflection of their ginned-up opposition to Trump, the messenger of a radical and controversial counterrevolutionary message. The Democratic project is bleeding out because it either does not address what the middle class is worried about, or it offers no solution to popular anger—namely over inflation, the out-of-control DEI commissariat, illegal immigration, crime, high energy prices and tyrannical Green New Deal policies, steep interest rates, unaffordable housing costs, and anemic foreign policies. https://victorhanson.com/what-made-the-democratic-party-go-crazy/

Agreed, he really hits a knuckle ball but I like having him as a safety kicker for sure, also wouldn't mind a direct snap to him and run for it.

Fair enough about the Eagles, plenty of their moves fail, but at least they are constantly trying to improve the top and bottom of their roster in creative ways. I assume you’re not putting Poyer and Hyde on Beane’s track record, because if so that would be generous.

Then why have the Bills signed so many UB UFA's over the years?
