Does anyone know what Tennessee's cap situation is? It sounds like they couldn't afford to pay Brown so they made the best deal they could. As of a couple of years ago, Brown was the kind of WR all the teams wanted. Big body, fairly fast, good hands, good routes. A prototypical 2018 franchise receiver.

She's 5' 8"

The current roster has almost no holes for starters and has depth at most positions. Keeping all our picks just means good players get put on the practice squad and become emergency fill-ins for other teams. I'm tired of seeing Bills picks plucked away. Better IMHO to reduce the number of picks overall by 1-3 and get higher positions / better players. CB/OL/WR and maybe safety.

Other than Van Miller, I'd go with Curt Gowdy and Merlin Olsen.

So I've had NFLST on DirecTV for years, with a satellite dish. Service has been great. But we're moving this summer and honestly the only reason I've had DirecTV has been so I could get NFLST. It sounds like people here have experience getting NFLST via streaming. Any recommendations on which service we should get? I want local programming as well as HBO etc. Thanks in advance.

At the rate the Browns are going, they're going to have five guys on their team. That's all they'll have money for under the salary cap.

OMG I hate the offseason.

That's a decent ranking. I just want to note that being in the third tier makes him just slightly above average, and yet he's getting paid like a much better QB. Each team in the AFCW plays six divisional games. It's hard to see any of them doing better than 4-2, considering the high level of competition. If the Bills can repeat at 6-0 in the AFCE, that's a leg up on the One Seed.

I suspect that Allen knew he wasn't getting every nickel he could get. He's still going to be fabulously wealthy. He wants to win and if he scoops up all the nickels there wouldn't be a way to keep the team together. This guy cares a lot more about hoisting the Lombardi than in being the best-paid QB. The teams overpaying for QBs are the ones with big holes in their roster.

There are at least 12 QBs that you could reasonably put on a Top 5 list. It's a silly argument. God I hate the offseason.

Not so sure about Ford. He's still on his cheap rookie contract and provides a warm body that can fill in at guard or tackle. Not a good fill-in, for sure, but at least available for emergencies, which is what most backups in the NFL amount to. Once his rookie contract is over, I agree, he's gone.

There were at least two long runs where several Bill defenders had a chance to prevent conversion of a 3rd down, and where they just fell off. The Bills have no one besides themselves to blame. msw's post is exactly right up to the point where it says we'll never know. Anyone who watched that game knows what happened.

Whaddya mean LA isn't that great of a football market? Didn't you see the SB parade, where dozens and dozens of fans straggled in next to the street where the Rams were parading? Obviously I'm being sarcastic. People warned for years that LA simply has too many other options for entertainment or participation.

Jay Leno said if that happened to him, forget the doctor, he was gonna call all his female friends.

Every team has holes, somewhere. Some of those holes are deep canyons and others are mere depressions, where the player isn't quite good enough but isn't a disaster. The Bills are built to have as few holes as possible and to have whatever holes do appear be as shallow as possible. Right now the only holes on the team are at CB and backup safety. There are depressions on backup OL positions, and I would like the receiver corps to be deeper (we were so deep there last year) and a better RB. Compared to the potholes every other team has to work around, we're in great shape.

Y use one why when you can use 2?

The newer logo, with the charging buffalo, looks dated to me. So 70s. The standing buffalo looks classic. I'd actually like to see them go back to the standing buffalo as their standard helmet and logo.

This is great news. Does anyone know what this does to this year's salary cap?

One end zone should say BUFFALO and the other NY STATE. Especially after the new stadium is in use, because NYS will be the owner of the facility.

Fair enough, but their needs are very different than ours at this point. The Panthers are very far from being a SB team, and they have a lot of other needs to address, to the point where an expensive, older CB is a luxury they can't afford. It was pretty stupid of them to trade for Gilmore last season instead of conserving draft picks, but pretty stupid is how you get to be in their situation these days.

The Bills already have more draft picks than they need -- more than can make this loaded roster. They should be trying for quality, not quantity, by trading up as much as possible. They need five rookies -- CB, WR, OL, possibly RB, possibly backup QB -- and those guys should be as good as possible.

Gilmore was an excellent cover CB while he was in Buffalo, but he didn't tackle worth a damn. I always figured he was trying not to get injured so he could play long enough to cash in on a big contract, and really who can blame him for that? The fact that he left the Bills for a big contract elsewhere is just business. The fact that he left the Bills to go THERE is harder to swallow. On today's Bills team, he wouldn't fit in, because everyone is supposed to tackle well. (Insert Tremaine Edmunds comment here.) But if the Bills thought they could compensate for that, he'd be a lot better than other options. The price, though, is probably not within reach considering the Bills have already checked under the sofa cushions and returned all their pop bottles for change, and they're about out of cash at this point.

There were Allen doubters even into his third season with the Bills. These stubborn fools could not admit they were wrong. They said that accuracy issues could never be fixed. Eventually they quieted down but every time Allen misses a pass they stick their heads back up and say "see, I told you". These are not Bills fans I'm talking about, they're the talking heads that make a living talking about the same things that we spend our time writing about here.

Wallace didn't sign for a huge amount in Pittsburgh. I think the Bills, who have watched him closely for years, figured he just wasn't ever going to be good enough, and that someone with equivalent skills to his would be available. I'm sure this wasn't a careless decision on the part of Beane.

The only reason I can see not to defer is this: Deferring means you're putting your tired defense back on the field. The other team's offense gets the ball and takes five minutes to score on your tired D, while THEIR defense is sitting and resting.
