  1. I wouldn’t call that a “highlight” reel for Kincaid, whoever produced the video had a bunch of his ho-hum outlet catches, tipped passes, etc.  Ignoring the horribly produced video, Kincaid dropping passes is one of the least of my worries, thought he showed some of the most reliable hands we’ve seen in forever.  
     

    A couple things I’d like to see more of in year two include added strength (so he can become more effective as a blocker and with the ball), along with more downfield passes to him, like the seam route versus Pittsburgh.  Give the guy the chance to make some bigger plays.

    Yes MHJ

    Agreed on MHJ.  Caleb I don’t know.  The upside is there but the downside is he cries and pouts one stomps his feet on a path to a short career.


    It’s hard to deny MHJ’s upside, although is it fair to say Nabers and Thomas Jr prob have just as much upside?

    It's just stupid to be over AGAIN before next year gets here.  Diggs and Vons contracts are killing us.


    More reason to think they’re going to figure out a way to trade Diggs and move up in this year’s draft?  Would at least start to address cap space for next year, plus potentially give Josh a younger WR stud to be throwing to.

    Chris Simms just put out his WR draft rankings...had MHJ at 4 and Roman Wilson at 5.  His WR rankings have been very good...Not saying he's right or wrong in this case, but this points to the fact that this is a very deep class and there isn't much separating the guys at the top.


    Weird, the video he’s got MHJ at 3, Odunze at 4?

     

    But yeah, even outside his top 5, there’s like 5-7 other WR prospects with decent upside.

     

    I’d love it one of the studs slips into the teens, and Beane finds a way for us to trade into there, even if it means having traded Diggs and a couple other picks.  If we hold onto Diggs, still want Beane to take a flier on one of the better rated prospects.  Need to get faster, younger and cheaper at WR position.

    He’s one of the original bills who started this turnaround I’m sure it breaks his heart he couldn’t retire one but thats the business. Jordans a warrior and always has a place with bills fans just not twice a year. 


    Making a couple million more and getting to play in Florida is a nice early retirement package for him too.  Lots of respect for what Poyer brought to the franchise and looks like he continues to be a class act.

    That's assuming that he was released because he wouldn't take a pay cut. I don't think that's what happened here. I think we looked at the situation we were in and he was the odd man out - in a time where there was an "out" in his contract and we needed the money. If we felt he was going to Start here over Douglas or Benford and/or wanted to take the chance he'd be back in a big role for us - we would have found a way to make it work.

     

    Yes, you can cut someone at any point and designate them a Post-June 1 cut - allowing them to sign with any team at any time. You just don't get the money until June 1st. But that's only with releases. You can't trade someone with a Post-June 1st designation and get the kind of financial ramifications that come with moving on then. For something to qualify as a Post June-1 financial savings via trade, the trade has to literally occur after June 1st.


    Agree here.  They’re already going to take a $10M cap hit, right?  If they’d be willing to pay him $4M/year off the street now, they could have said you know, you’re scheduled to make $16M next season, we need to ask you to take a $2M pay cut.  The numbers and his future with the team prob just didn’t make sense to both parties anymore.

    Completely agree. Do I want the Bills to draft alternatives? Absolutely. But Blackmon and Rapp are complementary to each other and a tandem like that would mean that the Bills are not forced into overdrafting or rushing in someone who isn't ready.


    We’d effectively have our potential Week 1 starting lineup in place, then any other FAs and draft picks can round out the squad.
