Fat chance, some people would rather talk about aspects of people's own personal medical decisions than football.

This appears to be a potentially low risk high reward sort of pickup. Nice writeup on him in SI, essentially the Jaguars and some observers thought he was one of their better defenders towards the end of the season when he was given an opportunity.

I remember reading this. Although he says he doesn’t dwell on that fateful drop against KC, he says it stays with him and that it won’t happen again and that it has motivated him to be the best version of himself. It appears that what he said is not BS.

I actually was thinking how satisfied you must have felt during this draft.

You are currently batting .032%

I personally like the idea of having 4 more draft choices. Odds of finding a keeper is probably higher having 2 6th rounders vs 1 5th rounder. I think Buffalo took the same approach with Barsham, Beane said if he had been gone they would have traded down. My hunch is that they didn’t really love anyone enough with that 5th rounder and traded down for 2 6th rounders because there wasn’t much difference in the value of the players available.

That Nathan Peterman had a shot at becoming a solid QB in the NFL.

I think you’ve taken Joe’s title of king of the hot takes.

The Bills needed to get more physical on the defensive line and they are addressing it in a major way.

He’s not slow at all. Ran in the 4.6’s His shuttle time was slow.

I will trust Beane's evaluations and decision making for this football team, he has more than earned that right. With that said, even though I generally don't like the idea of getting RB's in the first round, as someone who has watched ACC and plenty of Clemson football, Etienne is a top tiered talent and game changer. The guy has made big time plays throughout his entire life and has the sort of speed and receiving ability to take this offense to a whole new level. Personally, I'd rather get a DB or edge rusher if there was one that we thought could make a difference but I'd be just fine with Etienne.

8 years 375 Million with $250M guaranteed.

I do agree that Oliver had a somewhat disappointing season, yes he was playing in a situation that wasn't ideal but he still underperformed. He's good at stuffing the run but he was drafted to be a disruptor behind the line of scrimmage. I would expect him to step it up this year.

I remember reading a lot about him his first year with the Bills and how internally the Bills were very positive about his prospects of becoming a meaningful players on the Bills roster.

I see the Bills doing something with Dawkins to free up some money and I think they will extend Diggs to reduce this years cap. Plus, I think they know that even though Diggs has been a great teammate, he is not about to take any discount. I think for him getting paid is also a sign of respect and he right now is nowhere near the highest paid WR. I think if not addressed it could end up being something that eats away at him. I'm totally guessing here but that is the sense I get. I think a 2 year extension worth $36 million with $20 Million guaranteed gets it done. Hughes, I'm not so sure. They could do something with him but do we really want to extend him beyond what the contract that he's currently on? I love the way Hughes plays and he's a great teammate who gets pressures but I feel that he's beginning to fade.

Could be, flexibility is always a good thing. Right now, this is a market for patient GM's.

Yeah, but some of the TBD "experts" of this board (2 dudes) believe that the Bills only did one thing right and that was get Josh Allen. The rest has been terrible according to these experts.

Just think, if some of the TBD "experts" had their way, we'd have Marcel Dareus anchoring the middle, Darby as our top DB, Jonathan the legendary jag as our main RB, Josh Rosen as our franchise QB and Sammy Watkins as our #1 WR.

Yeah, I actually agree with that. I was sort of kidding but man, I had no idea that he was that bad of a presence on the Bills team. The players were happy that he left and I think it was a good thing for him to have a change of scenery. If Beane thinks he's worth it to kick the tires again then I'd be for it. But I just don't believe that they will.

Yeah, but you thought he was worth $16 million a year. There were a number of you that thought the Bills should have kept him, after reading everything about him, his inability to stay healthy, inconsistent game play, terrible locker room presence, lack of commitment, we can safely say that you guys were all wrong and that Beane was right.

I've been one of his biggest detractors over the past few years and the main reason wasn't so much about him but what people perceived his value was worth. Ever since early in his career, he has been an average starting 2-3 WR. He's injured too often, non factor in more games than not and too inconsistent, nowhere near worth the money he was paid. With that said, if the Bills can get him for $6M a year or less, then I'm all for it. At $6M a year, he starts to become more of a bargain.

This really isn't too difficult. One thing is grading him vs other starting QB's and another when grading him against backups. He's a mid to low end starting QB He's a high end back up QB.

8 year $375 Million $120 Million in guarantees

Wow! $2.5 Million for Trubisky?? That is the deal of the century! He is a very high end back up caliber QB. That is an absolute steal.
