We finally got a piece of the pie!

Perhaps Bennett is too far back. Someone like Lorax is probably what we need. A three down backer who can rush the passer.

All this LB talk got me thinking about Cornelius Bennett. He played OLB on run downs and on passing downs, he often lined up as a pass rusher opposite Bruce Smith. Is there anyone in this year's draft that has Bennett skill set or could Edmunds be this guy? Im guessing they would have to a get a MLB to free up Edmunds.

I'll get excited when the Bills beat the Patriots.

I have to agree. Especially after the Bengals signed Miller to 3 yrs $16.5 M. Somebody will probably be interested in Ducasse and Bodine. They have a lot of starting experience.

The Titans signed LG Roger Saffold from the Rams.

Overall I generally agree with the OPs assessment. It is way early and a long way to go. Bills are incredibly active. Almost anything is possible with the 1st rd pick and draft in general. Hard to see them staying with 10 picks.

If they cut anyone it will be Vlad Ducasse. Only $83k dead cap hit and saves $2 MM in cap space. Teams usually carry 9 OL on the 53 roster. 4 OTs and 5 interior OL.

I think Dawkins roster spot is safe. He's on a rookie deal. Might be fighting for his starting job though if they keep getting OL guys.

I think no. I hope the Bills draft a DE and extend Hughes. If Lawson has a good year, try to extend him during the season or tag him at season end with the intention of extending. If can"t reach a deal, trade him.

Visited the Grand Tetons this past fall. Bought a ball cap with the Wyoming state insignia and wear it to all Bills home games. Season ticket holder.

I tend to agree with you. I was kind of shocked, in a good way, by the number of free agent signings. There's not many openings on the 53 man roster assuming all of these recent signings make the team.

He wanted to play on the same team as his older brother. Houston Cougars it is.

The Bills drafted OJ and my dad bought season tickets. We left Buffalo in 1978 but still a Bills fan.

How about rattling off some of your favorite non Asian places? I'm over at Tysons surrounded by chains.

Hurst was considered a first rounder before heart issue discovered. Iirc Raiders took him in 3rd round

I live in Northern Virginia. Almost all the restaurants and bars here are franchises and chains. I love going to the Buffalo area for their bars and restaurants. Small business type places. Buffalo is a cool place. Don't change a thing except the Bills record.

If you watch videos of the new signees, (Feliciano, Morse, Long, and Ty) you notice that they are more athletic linemen. Their movement skills, physicality, and sheer strength is an improvement over what we had.

Honestly, I think the only starters on the oline, as of right now, are Morse and Ty. Dawkins is likely the starter at LT but he might be closely scrutinized after last season's results. Both guard spots are open for competition between Teller, Long, Feliciano and others imo.

Some interesting insight on how the Bills approach free agency. It comes across as well run that involves input from multiple people in various positions. Beane seems more revealing than prior GMs. I actually like listening to him.

Thanks for the writeup!

I'm happy for Miller and I'm happy the Bills did not re-sign him. I wonder how much $ is guaranteed?

I have 15 cuts and kept P Corey Carter. He looked good last preseason before getting hurt. I think he would have beaten out Schmidt.

I agree on rookie OT. I think they literally could take BPA on every pick. Crazy good!

Hey Shaw. I like your take on most of what you have said about the Bills. Speaking about guys close to the ball, I think they are going to draft a DT high maybe even at 9. I'm thinking Ed Oliver or Christian Wilkins. Also Groy, Miller, and Mills are all free agents so they are no longer with the Bills. I think all of these free agent signings make the team this year.
