If the price was right this could be a very good signing. Familiar with the city and is still fairly young (Will be 29 by seasons end) and only has 6 years experience in the league so for a typical 29 year old he has less wear and tear. The Bills need linebackers badly so any move to address that position is a good idea.

I am not a big Foles fan, I think that since Andy Reid the Eagles have made QB's look much better than what they are. Foles, Kolb, and even Mark Sanchez and other backups have looked way better in Philly than they have elsewhere. Even Vick looked to be a much better passer when he was in Philly those first few years. I find it hard to buy into a guy like Foles on the Bills. I think that this team with the Ammo that they have will likely need to make a big play for a QB in the draft.

From what I have seen on Sporttrac if they cut Glenn this season they only save 3.35 million on the 2018 cap. If the team cuts him in 2019 they save 6 million. So the Bills could cut Glenn in 2018 they save 3.35 million in 2018 and 6.5 million in 2019 vs. cutting him in 2019. So the question you have to ask is cutting Glenn in 2018 worth 9 million in cap space spread across 2 seasons (With only 3ish million coming right away?) I think given that Glenn is a young player at a premium position the team is much better off trying to see if he can return from injury in 2018 (esp if you have a rookie QB, protection will be key.) Now if the Bills were to trade him they do save a bit more in 2018 (4.8 million) which could honestly be a bit more attractive. But unless the Giants or another trade up partner wants Glenn as a throw-in, I don't see any significant offer coming in for him.

I actually don't think he was holding the offense back. But I don't think he was enhancing the offensive talent. Low turnovers (smart play mixed with conservative play), lots of plays made with his legs, and a big arm that made some throws once in a while were all positives that he brought to the table. But the fact that he couldn't work out of the pocket consistently and his too often conservative nature did have a negative impact on the offense. Good QB's enhance the play of the talent around them. Granted, there is only so much a QB can do (Look Tom Brady from 2006 to 2007 and it is clear that a QB is impacted by the talent around them) but a great QB will maximize the talent level around them. Tyrod to me was neutral. With great talent around him and a good scheme, he will get the offense to play to their talent level. Which isn't bad and that's better than a lot of teams get out of the QB but unless you have a completely stacked roster around him (which is hard to sustain) he just isn't going to make you a consistent contender.

Pass on Foles, trade up for a young QB. I think Foles works in Philly's QB friendly system. Since McNabb they have always made QB's look better than what they are, Kolb, Foles, and even backups like Mark Sanchez looked better on the Eagles than they did on any other team. Foles had one hell of a run but I don't think he would be the right guy for this team. You have the ammo trade up for a rookie.

You can't knock Tyrod as a person or as a teammate, he did all he could. He worked hard and showed good leadership, a QB that is respected in the locker room is a QB who is doing all he can. He might or might not have been the right QB for this team going forward but I can't hate the guy at all.

Landry is talented and you could do worse at QB than Tyrod. Browns need to turn around their culture and they have the cap space and ammo to make it happen

I wonder what the return is, Randall is a pretty good player on an affordable deal. I imagine it was at least a 2nd rounder.

I will miss Tyrod but this is a good return for a player the coaching staff was clearly over. I know everyone !@#$ing hates Tyrod but he was the best QB since 1 year of Drew Bledsoe and I think sadly Tyrod's 3 year run as the Bills starter was the best run a Bills QB had since Jim Kelly. Can anyone honestly say that EJ Manuel, Fiz, Trent Edwards, and JP Losman were better? Bledsoe had 1 good year, Rob Johnson stunk. Flutie is the only QB you could argue. Tyrod rescued this team from dreadful QB play, sure Tyrod had limitations and was at best below average but Tyrod really did help end the drought, had a winning record as a QB, and led the team to one of its most competitive 3 year stretches since the late 90's. The Browns get a QB to settle their situation, The Bills get another pick that helps them move up to build their new future around.

You have to draft the right players and put them into the right situation. There is also luck with injuries. Look at Goodwin, dude was good when he played but just always got hurt, he goes to the 49ers and puts up a career year and stays healthy. There are also a lot of players that just get drafted into a bad situation, either the scheme doesn't fit their skillset or the coaching isn't good enough to develop them. As a fan you don't have control but message boards are made for wild speculation and uneducated opinions.

34 years old, last really good season was in 2014 although his 2017 wasn't terrible 6.5 sacks but he wasn't a starter and he stayed healthy. I could see a team getting him to be a decent role player.

They also drafted a tight end high last year. Their O-line also is pretty solid. If the Browns go all in on the draft and spend some more of that legendary cap space they will be tremendously more competitive this season.

I would be shocked unless it was the Eagles pick number 64. The market for Landry in a trade can't be that high. I think it would probably be pick 64/65 plus a conditional 5th or so in 2019 (Which isn't a bad haul for the Fins.) Landry is a good player but what team is going to give up more than a 3rd for a player that they will then have to pay a huge contract for. If the Browns hold onto their 2 high 2nd round picks.

Dawkins-InCog-Groy-(Vlad or Miller)-Glenn is a solid O-line that I would be comfortable with despite a hole at RG. Mills is still there as RT depth (I know people love to hate on Mills but as a backup you could do a lot worse, some people here think that other teams have All-pros off the bench) but they would definitely have to pick up 1-2 interior lineman depth wise and to have an heir apparent for InCog who I think at best has 1 year left. But if this team trades Glenn they most likely wouldn't get enough of a return nor would they get any considerable cap relief in 2018, at best they would be trading away a pro-bowl caliber O-lineman for 6 million dollars in cap space in 2019 and 4.8 million cap space in 2018. I think unless the Giants want him as a throw-in for a possible trade up to number 2 I would just keep him. Cutting him in 2019 is tolerable as you shed a lot more of his salary. If Glenn is dominant again then12 million for a dominant RT when pass rushers line up at both tackles is a tolerable amount of money to spend at that position and by the time Dawkins would be up for an extension Glenn's deal will be expired or he will be on a new more reasonable deal.

Bills are probably better off keeping him, slide him over to the right side and have a bookend set of tackles. Considering how modern NFL defenses are lining up their best pass rushers just as much from the right as they are from the left you can now more than ever justify having a high salaried RT. Dawkins and Glenn give a bookend to both sides.

I feel like its high risk high reward what the Rams are doing. Talib and Shields are older and in the case of Shields injury prone players. They are letting some key players walk and who knows if they will be able to repeat their offensive success esp if Sammy is gone. But they certainly are going for it and you have to respect that.

China is the key to any talks, not sure if Donald is the guy to pull this off but this is a way better approach than !@#$ing with their leader on Twitter (albeit in a hilarious way.) I think for the longest time China has been protecting North Korea just enough to make them a problem for the Japanese, the South Koreans, and the USA. Russia has also helped North Korea on the international stage since it is a game that messes with America's interest. But not that the North Korean's actually have nukes and a leader that is less of a rational actor than his father you are looking at a situation where China has to bend somewhat and de-escalate the situation before they end up flipping the whole chess board over. If China can promise the safety of the North Korean regime I think that goes a long way into getting the situation a bit more stable.

Seems like a lower mid-level signing that could work, I think he could be had on a 2-3ish million dollar a year deal with a low guarantee. Moncrief looked like he was poised to breakout after a good 2015 but Indy had QB issues and his career faltered, injuries didn't help either. I think this would be a good signing, low-risk high reward type deal.

The Rams are building one hell of a secondary if Talib and Shields can give them one more good year. Talib will be 32 Shields 31 by the end of the 2018. That's a bit risky esp given Shields injury history. But I think the Rams are more so looking at it like if Talib or Shields can give you a good season you will have 2 stud corners and they can throw Robey in the slot if needed.

Suh's case is a weird one. Dude was a legit game-changing defender in Detroit. He goes to Miami in his prime on a loaded deal. Suh's quality of play remains good he has been a top 5 DT while in Miami but even that near All-Pro level of production was never going to live up to that contract. The Dolphins overpaid despite getting exactly what they hoped to get out of him on the field.

I hate being micromanaged, I am a self-starting person I don't need someone on my ass telling me to work harder, I work hard and people that try to micromanage me just end up slowing things down and producing a lesser product. So in that sense, I would like a manager like Rex I have good discipline and a good work ethic even with a lax manager I always try to go above and beyond. So a Marrone type wouldn't make me more productive it would just slow me down and frustrate me. That being said I think the Bills probably needed a Marrone type more so than a Rex. Coming of the Chan era the Bills needed to reestablish the fundamentals of the team and Marrone was the guy to do that.

To go up to pick 4 is going to command at the very least both 21 and 22 plus 53. Glenn is not going to the Giants unless it is as a throw in. Glenn is a injury prone player on a massive deal, as good as he can be that's a big contract to take a chance on. I would also suspect that the Giants would also want a pick in 2019, more than likely at least the Bills 2nd if not the first if another team wants that pick too. This would be a pretty solid strategy for the Giants they could come away with a haul of picks.

Goodwin is a good dude, always worked hard and when he was on the field he actually showed flashes of production. But he just always got hurt, glad to see him get rewarded for his hard work.

Murray was super productive in 2016 had his second best season overall. But in 2017 he got dinged up and just wasn't very productive. I would rather have Murray than Ivory, Ivory has been pretty ass the past 2 seasons whereas Murray is only coming off of 1 bad year.

There are tons of players who smoke pot (given that it's probably a lot better to smoke pot or consume edibles than to take opioids to manage pain) and they have successful careers. It's the other bad habits that killed his career.
