It’s possible Tre’s restructure could turn out to be an Ertz trade, but I doubt it at this point. They are probably staying put at this time.

There wasn’t a lot to be excited about during those 17 years. Constantly having you’re hopes bashed was terrible, and we would be just good enough to not get a top pick. We were the kings of 6-8 wins. Now when you watch NFLN or listen to NFLR, a ton of National commentators are very positive bout the Bills. There are always going to be trolls (some on PFF), and they are not worth my time. As far as nice weather and large markets, players McBeane would want care more about those who want to win. I used to think players would like states with no state tax, but that has proven to be wrong. If players really cared that much about weather etc., GB, MN, and so on wouldn’t be able to field FA’s.

I’d rather trade up for better talent than down. We have a decent roster now. We’d have to find trade partners and that is not always easy. Last year there were very few trades across the league due to the situation, and this year there isn’t even a combine where people are on equal footing with the same surfaces, etc. Don’t be surprised if we pick where we stand. We are going to have to rely on game tape for our picks.

This is a reason why I don’t go to bars. Too many bad things happen. Regardless of whatever the guy did, you don’t kick a guy when down.

Marlin, thanks for the link. I never heard anything about the guy. Sounds terrible. Glad he ended up ok.

rook, these guys are WR’s not blocking only TE’s. It’s important to look at the total landscape. It’s dumb to parse out rb’s from wr’s, from TE’s. all of them fit into a passing game. I won’t respond, but you parsing just wr’s doesn’t make sense. Tampa’s wrs are in part te’s.

Dave, nailed it. I believe it will only be around $203-4 mil. in 2022 so still behind what the contracts were written in past years. 2021 would normally have been $210 mil. Then in 2023 it should be round $2025 mil. so catching up to the normal trajectory. The cap will absolutely astronomically increase thereafter and will help the large contracts we'll need to sign in future years.

I must break you! Go for it. Never go wrong with a rocky quote.

They wouldn’t do this for the draft this early. They are preparing for a trade or a signing. I thought once the tv deals were announced Beane would be doing something like this move. He now knows for sure we’ll be ok in 2022 and beyond. Should be fun to watch.

John, agreed on Tampa. I give them the edge simply because of the soar subject of TE’s. Evans Godwin Miller Brate Gronk Howard

OP, be careful. If you’re not absolutely sure on a data point, these guys will correct you. I didn’t have the heart to tell you what’s been said on the two plays. No worries.

I don’t see where we could get the $ for Houston, but he would be the best of the group. I don’t know if Beane would want a one year rental for him, but I’d be for him if they are going to spend $.

Good call by Beane and by McKenzie. He can lobby McD for more time, make an impact, and given he’s young on possibly a SB contender, could lobby for a better contract next year when there is $. It’s a smart move for both sides.

Hey bud, don’t feel attacked. If I’m part of that for you I’m sorry. I’m just saying it’s going to be ok, and I don’t care how many weapons they put on Cam, he’s still a 10 year 59% completion guy. The jets maybe taking a rookie means a learning curve. Tua people are hard on but he played only half a season. He stunk, but honestly so did Josh in the beginning. All good brother. As far as counter opinions we have the second best offense in the NFL and a defense that improved dramatically in the back half of last year. Not many teams have a too 5 offense and defense. don’t feel attacked though. That’s reserved for trolls on the board. NOT YOU!

JG, I meant this not for a wish as that is a freakin nightmare, just we are thr kings now in the East. This would be a catastrophie that is the only thing to change it. Josh is a tough cookie and has become very smart not to take the bad hits. We’ll be ok friend. Believe me of that horrible thing happened, we’d all be sharing Xanax pills. It won’t.

Hondo buddy. Never fear Allen is here. We’ll be fine pal. We have a defense that was twice as good in the second half than the first this year. You can’t evaluate a team on the KC game when all of you’re four WR’s were hurt. we had the #2 offense. We extended needed people. A lot of people wanted a big splash, but that was Diggs last year. Let’s get through the draft bud and then take a breath. I’ve always enjoyed you’re takes so four seconds in, four seconds out on breaths. If Allen tears an ACL, yeah panicked time. Now, not so much.

You guys are bored if you’re debating the 2022 backup QB. I’ll think about that one in 2022.

And with the 30th pick, the Bills pick... Ok see ya guys later, I’m driving 18 hours back to Tampa. But you just go here. Umm no. I’ll never go to the draft. I just don’t understand the draw at all. I barely watch the thing, just wait for our pick, get my notice on the phone and back to life.

Chris Simms has won me over with sound opinions, well researched, doesn’t seem to care if people like or dislike his takes. He’s been right a lot more than wrong. Something to consider. Thanks for sharing Thurm.

We were 14th in defense, 16th in points so average, not bad. We improved as we became healthy from Seattle thereafter, but we were 2nd in offense. It’s not that we have to make incredible improvements, but just move into the top 10. We were a little spoiled as we were 3rd in defense in 2019, but partially influenced by playing the NFC Least. We need more pressure from the front four. There is no denying it, but to say we had a bad defense is just not accurate. We were 13-3, 15-4 if you count the playoffs, and by god we had a bad game against the Chiefs. Everyone seems to forget our defense held the Ravens to 3 pts. the week before. I don’t think Star is the next coming of Donald, but he’s a solid DT. To the OP’s point, drafting a DT is not a bad idea if one is available, and I’m not sure if we can get an impactful DE, but I’m sure it’s on their radar.

Happy B Day coach belated. We love ya bud. Hopefully someone shares this thread with him so he knows what he means to Buffalo.

It would NEVER happen.

Huh?

Solid response my friend. I hope you’re right on Ertz. I also think it’s possible we take a speed wr in the draft. The Sammy talk was fun for that role. It’s kind of a wait and see. I am with you we need speed.
