Bleeding Bills Blue

Wasn't biscuit a trade/contract dispute thing? In any case, i agree. They needed a CB, DT, DE, and OLB - thats what they lost. They got a NT, a 3T DT, a pass rushing DE, 2 LBs who can also help on special teams replace alexander, and a former all-pro corner they are trying to squeeze a final season out of. They filled holes along the dline rotation, re-upped spain once Thuney came off the market, and made the big move for diggs.

The league year hasn't even started yet. Dawkins and Milano are both FAs after 2020, and they have a 5th year option for white in 2021.

I mean.. we lost 3 players on defense to FA, and 1 retired. He replaced them with... what 6 players? Yeah, buffalo is out of the comp pick game. I'm not sure all of them will qualify - norman wont and the LB from pitt might not hit the salary threshold. In any case, a ton of cap room meant it was likely they would sign a lot of players. What they didn't do was try and make splashy moves. It's refreshing to see so much before the league year starts though that people are wondering if we're fully done with FA. I think he waits a bit so the remaining players prices go down, probably snag some o-line help or a WR. I know they like Barkley, but I'd like to see some interest in the QB market as well.

I feel like the 3 picks have less value than that but that's just me. 5 and 6th round picks dont move the needle and a 4th in 2021 is less valuable than a 4th in 2020.

Hey - it looks better when you see what the browns did with the picks they got. Sammy Watkins for Justin Gilbert, Cameron Erving, and Ibraheim Campbell

Well.. He didn't give up next years 1st in addition to this years. So to start, the compensation is significantly lower. He's on an affordable contract for 4 years and is a proven commodity. 2? Is this a trick question?

Isn't that Xavien Howard?

I like the conclusion that he came with - a proven #1 WR vs. a guy drafted at pick #22. After this season, you know more of what you have with Josh Allen than if you draft the guy.

If you do - you need someone to correctly value him in a trade. I'm not sure why they felt fuller/stills/cobb was more important than hopkins. Very bizarre.

Depends on special teams - they just signed 2 LBs who can play there. They'll probably bring in a safety who can help on teams as well. If foster wins a special teams gunner job he probably makes the team and duke would be next. If they add a guy in the draft - they'd probably be in competition with duke. I think Dimarco is probably gone so there's a better chance of keeping 6. They only have 2 running backs on the roster currently as well.

I was saying to someone else that I felt... that was Lawsons best. I don't think you're going to get more than that. Addisons best is better than Lawsons best. I don't know that Buffalo will get that, but I think he'll be a solid player for us.

David Johnson isn't a bad football player. He's overpaid.

I think i understand why... i just dont understand the return at all. At least get the 2021 first or something if they wouldn't part with 2020. I think Hopkins isn't playing under his current deal - thats part of why obrien did it.

They do - but they have a james white type in ekeler. Significantly more talent at WR with allen and williams. They also have hunter henry. Lets not act like they suck. They also have talent on D with Bosa, Derwin James... And if Tua goes #2 - they can add chase young or move that pick for more players.

Pass rushers do tend to age well. Its a position with good rotation.

I think theres another on the giants?

Between him and Klein playing ST snaps - Dimarco may be looking at a tough road to making the roster. They seem to like Neal as a gunner, I'm not sure who the other primary gunner would be in punt coverage, but foster, duke, johnson, will all be probably competing for that spot. There's also the draft, and chance they sign someone else. I think they're upgrading special teams - good teams have good special teams year in year out. Need a punter now.

He'll fit in there. Good for him getting that deal after flaming out with Miami.

Said top 10 QB's salary is about to go massively up. They also likely want to pay tunsil and fuller. I don't think it was wise to trade hopkins for so little, or at all. But i think i understand the reasoning.

This moves fine to get cobb. The reason he traded Hopkins is A - he wanted a raise and may not have shown up. And B - There is an assumption that Watson will get 35+.

I don't think their division is particularly strong. Tennessee went on a run last year but the second you bottle up henry that offense isn't that good. The colts are mediocre, and the jags will probably be bad. So... I don't think its a stretch to say they will be in the playoffs.

I think they're still on par with tennessee. Colts are putting their eggs in the phil rivers basket, which i don't think will work. And the Jags are gutted.

Reader would be questionable - since we're basically married to star for 2 more years. But if they split the snap counts 50/50 it might make the defense better. Harris i think is still a target. Just get players and figure out the 53 part later.

Some dude named Jordan Philips had 9.5 sacks last year.. Murphy and Lawson combined for another 11.5. Lotulelei even had 2 and he isn't a pass rusher at all. Sometimes pressure leads to sacks for other players.

Thats why good teams tend to not swim too deep in free agency, and put the priority on keeping their own.
