That's the same technique that got the Bills them off-bus-starters.........Shaq, Ragnuts and da Fuhrer.......1-2-3 in the 2016 draft. It's been said a million times........but it's true........you really gotta' get the best players available(at premium positions) with those early picks.........they need to be the potential future DE1/CB1/LT1/WR1 of your team.......need is what free agency is for.

1) Yeah you did it to be snarky 2) Just because you do something for a living doesn't mean you are very good at it..........not every cook is a good one.........Russ Brandon was an NFL GM for a season.......facts.

Initial report........Daquon Jones = $14.6M two year contract with $10M+ guarantees That's gotta' be HIGHLY misleading.........

Hopefully the majority of those "guaranteed" dollars are actually contingent on being on the roster at the beginning of the league year in 2023..........basically an opt out if he doesn't dominate(which he likely won't).

Donke very much Schoen.

F*ckin compy's

Worst day of year for @IronMaidenBills is the day the compy's show up and suddenly those 7th rounders are going in round 5. "Oh, thanks for calling........would love to come to the Bills and be the best version of myself..........can you match the Texans offer?"

Too many 3rd rounders.........that hurts round 4 value significantly.

I like the positive talk about Buffalo as a FA destination but if it just helps add a near-finished Rodger Saffold at a bargain rate............that's not much. The other UFA's they've signed weren't ring chasing deals by any means so the evidence that it's a destination isn't there yet.

I mean......C'mon Amin .......... it's a rumor thread. When he signs there will be a new thread.........don't click on this one thinking this will be where you find out.

That is right where I thought he'd be..........never bought the $8M aav talk........he's not that kind of athlete. I was hoping for Sidney Jones......a better athlete with more risk but more upside............ but he signed back with Seattle for 1 year $3.6M. Going back to Levi would have been the safe choice.........I think if it had been 1 year $4M they might have...........but they probably like Dane Jacksons' potential more and if Tre comes back their top 3 CB positions are manned. Then in the likely event that another higher RAS type CB lands with them in the draft then it's not inconceivable that Levi could have been a spare part. I expect they will still add a veteran but probably just a 1 year deal. CB and S are the two positions I trust them to develop.

He had over 700 touches in two years and then started getting hurt...........he had over 700 more in college..............and he's built like a slot receiver whose game is built on speed not a 220-230# RB. Maybe he's not washed up or broken down but injuries and declining production tend to happen and stay that way after huge seasonal workloads like 2019 McCaffrey.

Yeah and as valued as first round picks are...........I have a hard time envisioning Beane paying that price given his injuries...........the neck one was considered career threatening. Feels like more of a Chiefs move.........moves they get away with because they have had 4 individually dominant, game changing players in Mahomes, Kelce, Hill and Jones to carry them. The Bills have Allen and Diggs (sorry Tre, close but no). The Bills need another game changer or two but they might not have the same cushion of playmakers on hand to risk giving away a #1 for the level of uncertainty. Yeah that had some shock value.

Well Gregory has been suspended for drug issues like 5 times or something............he is talented but he is a very high risk player...........surprised Denver prioritized him that high, considering. Don't often see guys like that end up with good careers.

Yeah the depth might have hurt the development. Agree with that. But when Efe was out there he looked brutal when he had to stop and re-direct. The highlights of Tim Settle are a good example of a player showing really good stop and re-direct...........and he is a huge DT............as a DE the expectation for mobility is higher..........you really gotta' be good at that to excel in run D..........so even in limited opportunities we got to see just how bad Efe was at that. That was his rep coming in but I really didn't know why until I saw that bad COD.

That $18.5M roster bonus is the swing point.............I don't think Minnesota eats that and THEN trades him.........even for a first...........and Buffalo might have to sign him to a new contract altogether to handle the cap hit. I suspect Hunter will want to be the highest paid pass rusher in football based on his pre-injury years but I also thought Stefon Diggs would force the Bills to re-do his deal like Shady did. Depends on the player, I guess. Also not a fan of Hunter not playing much RDE..........that's the tougher position to succeed from, IMO and that is a strong point with Chandler Jones..........he has proven he can beat LT's.

He still might be in the Mc's for Buffalo too.

Yeah I'd like to see the contract details........it's a bit more than I thought they would spend, I was thinking $2.5M for that position with him or James White and less if they settled for McKinnon due to his injury history. $4M is an outright lead RB nowadays.

No he's not fast so there probably aren't going to be any 30-40 yard plays............ but there is no wasted motion with him when he gets the ball so he plays a lot faster in the 10-15 yard area near the LOS.

Yeah I really like McKissic. He does everything quick. Picks up yardage quick running and catches the ball and transitions into a runner very quick.........that's how you end up with nice averages per play. He's not explosive so not going to be a bunch of big plays or anything............but he really fits the style of offense that they were playing late last season where they were always in 3rd and 4 or less because he picks up yardage consistently.

Really like the player........this is the receiving back that I wanted.........he's not that fast but he's really quick and slippery after the catch so he makes up for not being a burner. Hopefully the contract terms look a little better.........I know that sounds cheap to some for a part time RB......but it's not if that's the number. Wish I understood what they were doing with the OL though.........this doesn't tell us anything about whether they are going to be outside zone or more of the inside zone style they were under Roman when Kromer was last here. If going more OZ then they should be looking at Raheem Mostert. IZ then Singletary and Moss work fine.

Good.........Ward is out of the AFC..........now we can char various meats on the tailgate grill again without being reminded of the Chiefs. Yes on Donte Jackson..........but not if it prevents the Bills from getting pass rusher 1.

Yesterday he was mean-smugging that Bills fans were going to be disappointed.

Von Miller home to Dallas and Chandler Jones home to Buffalo? I expect a lot of teams very much in on both but would be a good result for the Bills. Disappointed that Sidney Jones re-signed with Seattle...........for 1 year $3.6M that he got that seemed like a good insurance policy with upside for Tre White maybe not being ready for the opener. But in a couple days the big money will dry up and there will be a bunch of potential bargains out there.

This is exactly what I hypothesized in my texts to fellow Bills fans this am. It's very much the equivalent of the Bills bringing in a Belichick to those of us old enough to have lived thru Shula years. Though Mike Shula looks even more like his dad with that Shula jaw. You know Bill hates that mullet.
