    Fine addition as long as 

     

    a) the contract is cheap and they intend on using the minimal cap space available on a starting safety 

     

    and 

     

    b) they intend on going WR in round 1


    Think he cost ATL like $2.5M last year, can’t imagine him making anymore than that now.  Need to round out the WR room, fair signing if he’s our WR4/5/6 versus what we had paid guys like Sherfield and Harty.

    Yeah. Hard to know if this was instead of Jones or in addition to.

     

    But they need another one. Want another NT in case Jones gets hurt.


    Prob in addition to, since it was after DaQuan’s signing and a lot less money.  Beane looking to add DT depth.

    I'd love AJ Dillon as our RB2 and he should be available at a lower cost. I'd also bring back Ty Johnson for RB3 and if keep all 11 picks, sure throw in a rookie to the mix. 


    If Beane doesn’t surprise us by landing Henry, would love AJ Dillon on this squad instead.

    Overpay ..  but the market is hot ,..
     

    My prediction for the Bills Free Agency WR is Valdes - Scantling  at about $5m … all they can afford ..


    I’m curious what Michael Thomas’ market is.  Don’t think the Bills are going to find too impactful of a WR in FA, but I’d take a flier on him.

    I think it's frustrating that we've been in this situation for multiple years, but given we have been..  At the very least, they need a vet WR with some size and a high draft pick.  Even that is whatever.. Say it's Josh Reynolds and a pick at/around 28.  We're banking on Year 2 Kincaid and a Rookie.  Shakir is a nice slot piece and Diggs, who knows.. and that's literally all we have right now.  Asking a lot of a rookie likely not named Harrison, Odunze, Nabers or maybe even Thomas.

     

    If I was Beane, I'm on the phone with SF-Aiyuk, CIN-Higgins, MIN-Jefferson etc., and maybe none of that is possible, but we desperately need more elite players on this team.  It shows up EVERY time we play KC in the Playoffs. 

     


    Thing is, to trade for Higgins or Jefferson, Bills are likely giving up their 1st or more, right?  And then they have to make the cap work as well, while also paying Diggs a ton at WR too and filling out the rest of the roster.  Do you want to give the Bengals another 1st round pick, so they can load up on cheaper,

    younger WRs, while we try to figure out how to eat the cost of Tee Higgins?  And  even if we can figure all of that out, are the Bengals going to want Higgins in our hands?

     

    At some point, we need to land some stud WRs in the draft ourselves, versus eat the cost of veteran WRs who will already be a step slower than talent right out of college.

    I'm hopeful they do.  We shall see.


    Do you have specific WR targets you are hoping they land?  Not sure I’m willing to pay any of the FAs, versus draft WRs that are younger, cheaper, faster, and more potential upside.

  7. Sign Justin Simmons, then Derrick Henry or AJ Dillon, and I’m ecstatic.  All the moves made so far have been in-house.  Beane’s got to have a couple external targets too.

  8. This tweet was even earlier today.  Don’t know if the person has anymore street cred than Dick Trickle IV 😎.  Maybe it’s already been pointed out, but apparently Simmons played college ball with Milano at BC, then obviously played with Von in Denver too.  So overlap w some of the guys on our team.  Also 3x Walter Payton nominee, aside from his All-Pro accolades.  Might be the kind of veteran stopgap Beane and McD look for, while trying to land a young safety stud in upcoming drafts.

    Every time I log out for a bit something Bills related happens. Dawkins, Davis, Floyd, AJE, Josh… maybe I ought to sign off again.


    BBB likes to save his biggest move of the day for primetime - Something coming 9 pm or later tonight???
