I essentially said the same thing in another thread. I was told that we would be taking a significant cap hit.

I like TT & would hope we keep him. However, if they decide to go in a different direction - a few crazy thoughts. Would the Browns or another QB needy team be interested in a draft day trade AFTER we pick up his option ? Is it unrealistic that the Browns, Jets, Sf etc might take TT & swap 1st rounders? What if, prior to the draft, we put the word out that TT is available ? The QB needy teams would get TT & the 10th pick in exchange for their pick. We get a top 5 pick. Assuming that this was doable, we could then trade that pick for much needed picks somewhere toward the later 1st round plus additional picks. Or, just use the top 5 pick if we choose that route. Is that scenario doable ? Is it unrealistic ? Btw, if either the Bills or the other team had to throw in another mid round pick, would that then make this trade feasible ? Just some random thoughts while I'm debating whether to get Center Ice here in FL. I posted this in another thread but this thread is the more appropriate forum. Sorry about that.

Relax Bob. It is a particularly boring time of the year for football fans

I agree. Also, everyone assumes that 3 runs & a FG is what's going to happen. I bet it is 50-50 that Atl picks up a first down running & the game is over thus negating the need for a FG try.

The Bengals have Green & a high draft pick from last year.

I saw him play twice this year. He looked like a likely 3rd stringer. I would rather have a young kid on a rookie contract as my depth QB.

Not saying that we can do better than G in the draft. But, perhaps we can put $14M to better use at another 1-3 positions. G is pretty good but he is definitely replacable.

And don't forget that many Buffalonians also watch the game in bars & at SB parties. So, the numbers are more accurate than most people think.

Yup. The "great" Kyle Shanahan called a lousy game. Also, although Ryan is a very good QB, his situational awareness left me cold. Third & 1 in FG range, he can not take a sack. He has to know that. No sack most likely = win.

Not at the end, but near.

I think that perhaps the Bills are leaking in order to put a little pressure on Tyrod to renegotiate. Maybe ???

He was in the 7th inning.

Hooker is the best DB that I've seen in quite a while. If he drops, grab him, just like Miami did with Tunsil. He''ll be productive the 1st year, hopefully, and a very good starting DB thereafter. Just my opinion in watching him play 2 games.

Edelman is probably won of the best slot receivers in the game & perhaps ever. You might be able to name a few better, but not many. Woods is decent but he is the definition of average.

I think the season was only 12 games back then.

Did you see Dalton vs the Bills ? At home against our bottom half D, he looked pretty bad.

I think he is gone, Kirby. $12M will fill a few holes. IMO Gilmore is replaceable.

Fans rarely like their OC's. I guess we think that we could call plays better. Fans are the masters of hindsight.

Getting to like the idea of moving back in the 1st & getting another 2nd which we can then use on a QB. Having said that though, I like Tyrod a lot & think that he can still improve. Still need to draft one just in case he regresses.

That's one side of the coin. The other side is we let him walk; he takes another team to the playoffs; we go 3-13 with our new rookie QB who is looking more & more like a bust. My hypothetical is just as far fetched as yours. I also think that coaches aren't stupid. If they have a stud ( Mahomes ), they will soon know it & play him. In that scenario we do whatever Dallas will be doing this off season with Romo. Hypothetically speaking of course.

They just received a 4th round compensatory pick.

I don't know how many games you watch, but I would not place Dalton, Bridgewater, Mariota, Wentz, & Palmer as QB's that are better than TT. Perhaps, some of them might become so, but not at this moment.

When 80% of your players at one position become injured at the same time, what would you have preferred that Whaley do ?

OCs are always fodder for fans. Bad play calling; should have passed, not run; blah blah blah.
