Who's the first round pick that would be better than a high end DE who grades would excellently, at 28, whom you can probably extend and get his cap number down to like 15M this year? It's not the 1st round pick the Bills would have a problem with. It's who on the roster they'd have to sacrifice to get him, because it would be Star + plus a decent to good player The Bills would have to extend him as part of the trade. No other way. They can't eat 25M cap hit without giving up far too much talent. Heck even 15M you're going to have to sacrifice a starter.

You mean he's taking Moss' spot

can't say enough good things about this Free Agent class for the Bills and how they're managing their roster and cap

Because Klein is a depth player and whoever replaces him is only of the field like 30% of the time. The Sam backer isn’t a starter here and you don’t pay one to be a starter. Find that guy in tier 2/3 or the draft. Jack is a Mike backer who would replace Edmunds

No. Not with Edmunds on the roster. We got like 20M cap space dedicated to 2 LBs - which is fine considering the system the Bills use, your LBs are incredibly important. But you can’t pay 3 linebackers like that

If the Bills could get a 2nd or possibly 3rd for Edmunds whip signing Myles to a cheaper deal than I absolutely swing that - and I like Edmunds

There is some serious Manchurian candidate crap going down on in Jax. Like they’re intentionally wrecking the WR market for everyone else

There’s like 5 difference makers at DT and possibly 0 at 1T in the NFL (the Bills might have one right now at 3T) The Bills would be wasting money on an impact DT right now and going for quality depth and rotation is exactly what you want. If there is an impact DE out there, then you might have to extent Diggs or something to make room for him, but otherwise the Bills are doing great right now. Keep adding quality to the 54

don’t know what to make of this - football wise he’d replace Cole as the Bills slot and Isiah would be their gadget player/speed slot

they also have to recreate some depth in the oline. All they have is Tommy Doyle I think, with Boettger coming off a torn Achilles. They’ll need a swing and a pure IOL who can contribute. Defensively, they’re not going to pay Levi Wallace starter money, so they need another corner there. Think that’s what they’ll use for tier 2 and draft.

I don’t know about that. If you’re a contender you can’t go into the draft hoping to find a starter. For the Bills the draft is all about depth and replacing guys in 1-3 years. They need to find a starter at guard well before the draft - it’s really their only open position as starters assuming they’re comfortable starting Dane Jackson across from Tre White

yea not too surprising. Right at the numbers where i thought the bills could get him to

If you’re getting sacked 5 times a game, then you shouldn’t be going out and getting guards. If the Bengals want to keep Burrow alive then they need to find a pair of tackles that allow Jonah Williams to move inside

Guy I’m targeting is Alex Cappa. Young and athletic

My apologies for some reason my brain read “restructure” as “extend for a higher cap hit”. Straight brain fart in my part and my bad Guy I’m looking at…Alex Cappa

They need a new starting guard

Exactly. Bills still want to get more athletic here

He's 25, just had a career year following a pretty good year, and Leonard Williams/DeMarcus Lawrence are at 21M and TJ Watt just set the market for 28M, with Bosa at 27M, Garett at 25M and Maxk at 23.5M

Allen is one of the consensus 3 best QBs in the league heading into next year along with Mahomes and Rodgers. I think everyone knows this

I am hugely enjoying the Mina Kimes experience through this

so uh, anyone have 23M handy?

Folks that was a 8-9M CAP HIT. Not yearly take

Cap Hit, not AAV 12M is Myles Jacks number, and even Matt Milanos approximate. Klein is 5.1 Darius Leonard is like 13M this year before jumping to to 20M next year. My expectation for Edmunds would be under 10M this year and next year and then rising to 15-17 in 2024 and on, and getting a nice chunk of a bonus upfront.

The one criticism I'll say is that he had one of his worst statistical years just now. He regressed slightly, but progress isn't linear
