does seem like that. Although I would prefer an Edge like Lawson over Milano and use the draft for LB. But if Bean somehow lands an impact Edge in FA, he is in the offseason GM Hall of Fame! agree on BPA territory. Wonder if they trade down if somehow the safety from TCU is the BPA when they draft. From what I've read, he's a great safety, can cover WR's, deep, support run, etc.

we should still take OL, just to spite KC

Great topic. I think there are some guys who project like him in the draft. I would have voted yes in a normal cap year, but not now. Even the vet minimum will eat up valuable space. We need our $$$ for an Edge.

solid for sure. I have Fields as my QB2, and I think the Bengals should go after either Pitts (a dominant TE like that is a clear game changer, then grab a WR in Rd3); and/or Slater (OT) from NW. I hate the Pats** getting Lance. I hope someone takes him first.

he may be able to get endorsement deals that a low-key guy like him would not get in other cities, IMO. also, he balls out on this deal, he is getting a MEGA deal somewhere after this.

interesting he did so many years. Not sure he gets that much this year with the reduced cap, but the back years I'm sure he could have gotten more. Perhaps he didn't want to risk it, and injury history.

I like him more than Edmunds. Puts the pressure on Edmunds this year for sure. I still think we draft a LB, need Edmunds replacement. That, or Bean knows cap will go up and he can keep them both. One less hole for the immediate season.

I'm not sure he is getting a big payday. Rookie WR's, and a lot of FA WR's out there. Cap issues all around. Perhaps some team throws stupid money at him, but he's taking somewhat of a risk here, IMO

I don't know, it could have been, "we would like you to take a pay cut," and that was all that was communicated, and the Agent/Brown are now claiming this was not a "heads up."

I agree he did. This is a big year for him. offseason program should help.

good points. I’m still not sold on Edmunds long term as a big money guy. Seems slightly above replacement level that some team overpays for

would help us get a quality DT in FA, or Edge and draft a DT

would also hate to see williams go. but a quality Ot will be available at 30. might make more sense for Ford, rookie to battle and play ford at guard perhaps, while using FA money on an edge.

something we can and should also conceivably do to keep Williams at OT? And FA Edge signing? And even Feliciano, perhpas Milano. Less holes to fill/rookies to rely on the better. good points. Depends on how much Buffalo will need with the Allen extension, conceivably it could be loaded in a manner where the cap hit is at the end? Kicking the can on good players makes sense because the cap always (barring global pandemic) goes up.

would love the Oklahoma Center in the 2nd. Great backup option.

good point. would rather trade him. Any pick is better than straight up releasing. I think the cap constraints just make it so hard this year. Although perhaps we could get something from PIT since Pouncy retired? skill wise I think you keep Morse, but you would clearly need to draft a solid strong guard who can also play center given Morse injury history.

or Levi from Washington also projected about 30. I also think Bean has a history of not having official visits with top picks? The WR group after Moore is underwhelming, IMO. no Steewart, Cox at Lb? in that case I amend my WR comment. But would like to see the kid from Iowa and Ill on there also for speed.

likely wants to restructure to hell the cap and get another DL FA in here that can help. Tomlinson??!! Lawson??

well, “essentially the same” can mean a lot of things.

yeah, and the draft class is pretty deep. That said, if they did break the bank on a Guard, he'd be a good one to do it on. Only really makes sense though if Morse is gone, Feliciano is Center. But, we do need an upgrade at Guard, IMO. Run blocking was terrible this year. It could come from the draft, or FA, but needs to come from somewhere, and counting on Ford is a mistake.

If he's cheaper than Bojo, seems like a good tradeoff.

I'm not sure this is laughable at all. Jax has some decent WR's, and if the #1 is all it takes, then yeah, I do it in an instant if I'm Jax. A proven Watson over a questionmark. Watson every time. I'd even trade next years #1 as well.

Sorry for your loss. Sounds like you have great memories of her!

Thanks for sharing. Some of the analytical information is useful in learning about prospects. I like the player mocked to us, although I'd go Harris or Etitine there. On the other hand, this comment about a prospect is just useless: "From a pure speed standpoint, on plays where he was not touched, Oweh had the fastest burst among edge rushers in the FBS last season, as measured by the time it took him to travel 5 yards from the line of scrimmage." On plays where he was not touched? Um, what happened when he was touched?

well, I don't think Bienemy calls plays>?
