At the end of the day, the article is spot on- it's a mess at OBD until proven otherwise. How can a middling team with no franchise QB have such poor cap space and sad sack draft record? Not a good look

Mebbe the OP could clear up his 1st post and keep a running list of actual signings so we don't start duping threads? Or look here for running list--http://www.buffalorumblings.com/2017/4/29/15487280/2017-buffalo-bills-nfl-draft-undrafted-free-agent-tracker

Pats are swinging for the fences this year. For 2017 MG is better than anybody they could draft in the 5th, so it's a no brainer for them

Don't see how this isn't just the cost of doing business, and is a non- issue. TD Mike played great and is a fine backup. Bills wanted to keep him and offered him a far offer. (an extra million a year for the 2nd round tender is another 10% of our available cap don't forget). He got a better offer. It's too much to pay- take the 5th rounder. Also it's nice to see a thread about actual news!!

I suppose if you've always lived in Buffalo than there is no reason for a second favorite team (unless you are fixin to have one!) I live in Arizona and do watch the Cardinals regularly and root for them as my second favorite. Was kinda fun two years ago actually watching the playoffs with something to root for- forgot what it's like!

Does everyone have to get the ability to start their own threads?

Thanks for the stunning news. Usually teams don't get better after they let corner walk.

Gilmore is awesome and we will miss him. He is worth the big contract and in is his prime. However the Bills cant afford him. Period. Initially thought Hyde has a big contract but it's half of Gilmore. If he is 75% as good it's a nice deal

If it's anything over the veteran minimum for 1 year than I don't like this. Enough resources are tied up in RB spot

Totally fine with this deal- keep us out of QB "purgatory" with at least a respectable option at QB, gives cap flexibility, and keeps options open if option to draft a qb materializes. PS- this is a good thread, but keeps moving down as there are wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to many new threads started around here lately

This and more this- Neutral football buddies are asking me how the Bills can have a poor record, low cap space, and only 6 picks? Not the trifecta we are looking for, so trading down even just to pick up a 4th and 6th would be welcome

Went to school with Derek and he's a fraternity brother. You won't meet a better dude, and he's been kicking ass with the Eagles for years. Bills are lucky to have him.... Now about how the Bills draft and gameplan......................

Taking a receiver 1st would be very Millen like- it would mean we have used 3 of our last 4 years 1st rounds picks (assets) on WRs- no thanks

Ditto- nice to have some actual scoop and information amidst all the speculation and whining!

This is creepy but fascinating

Didn't we go threw this before, when some high profile coaches (Shannahan, Cowher) told the Bills to take a long walk after examining the front office setup?

What a miserable thing it must be to have to listen to these grumpy, unhappy media people ask questions and watch their glee when they catch something negative

Not sure about Rex being defensible, but here are four reasons why I don't want to see a coaching change. 1) From an outside point of view (not crazy fans over analyzing everything) any team that burns through six coaches since 2008 is a hot mess. With obvious organizational issues, no sane coach would want to go into a meat grinder like that. Let the Pegula's establish some stability and "street cred" around the league. While the Bills are a huge disappointment, they have been a 500 team for the last three years, and sadly enough that is improvement from the previous 10 plus debacles. 2) It was silly to bring in a 3-4 coach to come in and coach a team whose strength was a 4-3 defense with no QB. We didn't have the players to run the 3-4. We have "some" now, so it's hard to tell if it's the players, the coach, or both at fault for the poor D. 3) Rex is not a great head coach- (see timeouts, schemes, gameplans, penalties etc) and only a great head coach can overcome the massive injuries we've had. Not an excuse, but it is a reason. Let this play out with a full hand. 4) No franchise QB. What are the Bills supposed to do with a guy like Tyrod?? Air it out? Ground and Pound is a must for now

First of all, Bills fans need to close ranks and stop sending these videos out! Need some sort of tailgating mancode not to blow your homeboy in Also, look let's call it like it is- this is a typical image every Sunday at a Bills game

If I want to hear bad news or sniping about the Bills, I read a Sullivan article or visit the forums. My eyes already tell me the team is a trainwreck again this year- I don't to hear it from the Murphy podcast for 3 hours. I like the guys unrelenting and unwarranted optimism about the Bills.

Terry is cheap!

Living in AZ, I spent the afternoon watching the Rams/Cards game. Here are some observations on the Rams: 1) Offensively they are unimaginative. They will slam Gurley against 8-9 man fronts 20 times, regardless of the results. They will throw a couple bombs to Tavon Austin. Most effective weapon last week was screen pass, and Keenum had a couple sneaky escape plays that were called back. 2) Defense is a handful- their Dline is huge and relentless, and the secondary can make some plays 3) They really are borderline dirty still- a few hits on Palmer were....close to being cheap. We better keep Richie under control so he doesn't have another 3 penalty game 4) They like ugly football games- talent wise it's a close match up

Jonathan Williams start the most games at RB, and plays well

AKA the Byrd Flu?
