I like Bates a lot, but the fact the Pats are looking to replace Mason with him is another indication of how poorly Belichick is running that team w/o Brady there to cover up his mistakes.

No thanks, when you factor cost of salary and the pick the Rams will want it isn’t worth it. Bill can find immediate help at WR in the draft. Expect them to double up on picks at the position.

This sounds like a possible Matakevich replacement if the money is right. A special team player who can play backup at LB. Beane never fails to shock me, so anything is possible regarding Edmunds.

Look, forget trying to debate a Pats Fan. I’ve been told Belichick would take Mac Jones over Josh Allen, if that doesn’t tell you how delusional they are, nothing will. I will say I enjoyed going to the ‘85 Super Bowl and watching the Bears destroy the Pats. I hope you Pats fans keep coming on to this board. After the whipping in the Playoffs last year I think all the Pats mystique is gone. Belichick is old and will retire in 2-3 years. Brady won the Super Bowls, Bill was along for the ride. Without Brady Bill wouldn’t have won one Super Bowl.

For now

Miller, Oliver, Jones, Rousseau. Epenesa, Phillips, Settle, Basham. Still waiting on Settle and Phillips to officially sign, think the delay is due to money moving around. Beane doesn’t want to push a penny down the line he doesn’t need too.

You really need to understand the way the contract is structured. It isn’t a 6 year $120 mil guaranteed contract. You actually are proving the point it is a very good deal.

This is a guy who can get us the play we need in the big game!!

Seems to me if Wallace isn’t good at $8 mil a year, he still isn’t good at $4 mil a year. McD knows CB’s and saw that Wallace reached his ceiling. McD also saw White get hurt and knows they need to start planning for when White’s next deal is up. This means drafting a CB high and then paying him the money and letting White walk in 4 years.

Definitely wait to see the full breakdown of the numbers before reacting. Since we aren’t seeing anything yet regarding Saffold’s deal, do you think it means it’s a team friendly one? Wouldn’t an agent put a big one year number out there?

Bills are getting better on the interior dline and Pats are getting worse. Not sure how this is going to help a run heavy team with an average QB. I am sure some of our resident Pat fans will explain this to me.

This is when the model breaks down. Not having that one guy who can make that one play when you need it is missing from the dline. Oliver has shown flashes but needs another guy. Maybe One of our early picks can be that guy, but I’d love a Chandler Jones who can turn it on in a “must have situation “.

This trade was made because Brady agreed to mention NE next time he retires.

For things this says- The fact they wouldn’t pay $4 mil a season says a lot to me about how Beane and McD value Wallace’s services. Think how much better Poyer and Hyde will look with another good CB playing CB2. Dane Jackson showed he can be as good as Wallace.

This is key, he can stay in and pass block, catch the ball, and is a good runner with the ball. Bills won’t tip their hand when he is in. People comparing him to Breida have done zero work to look into McKissic’s skill set.

In 2020 he got the extra snaps due to an injury to the other reserve DT. If anything this shows when he get opportunities he shines.

And I think he likes playing center more.

This is an overpay IF McKenzie doesn’t improve on his numbers from last year. I am guessing the front office and coaches met to discuss what his role will be. McKenzie will get his shot since Beasley won’t be on the roster most likely. My concern with McKenzie has always been durability due to extra touches.

Joe Marino of LockedOn Bills did a great job on his Friday podcast of walking through how to get $38 mil in cap space. Another poster actually started a thread detailing the info. Nothing Joe did seemed outlandish or like it would put the Bills in cap hell anytime soon.

I was kidding

I’m a Bills fan, I am ok being disappointed

Second round tender for Bates not Zimmer. Bates is by far more valuable. I could see Bates get a multi-year deal, he showed was starting caliber at a position of need. Zimmer is ok, but I don’t see anyone fighting for his services after the injury.

Williams is meh, which is why he will be cut or restructured. No way he stays at that cap number, playing guard, and playing at an average level. You are one of the few people I respect on here when it comes to oline takes. I played oline into college. Some people get it, others don’t. Feliciano was a great teammate but a below average talent. Bills moved past his level of play with the talent they have now.

Seriously! He went from one of my favorite Bills to a guy who I knew it was best to move on from. I’m sure he will find another team and be back to a starter/rotation player. Oline depth in the league just isn’t great. The Bills have come a long way in three seasons.

Not good. Didn’t like the trade idea anyways. Gage would be a nice pickup in FA.
