I love what Beane has done this off season for the most part, but I’m very disappointed he hasn’t done more to address the pash rush. Like this is potentially the only change at pass rush?.. To go along with an aging Hughes and Addison. I really hope they draft one in the first or 2nd round, but even then, it’s a far guarantee that player will be a difference maker right away.

Is that what it is, 5 mil? I was wondering about the dead cap hit

Ya that’s what I’m not sure of. As much as I like Milano, I honestly wish they spent the money on someone like Carl Lawson. (I know he was a bit more expensive) I would definitely get a pass rusher in the first round and would even trade up if there’s a guy in striking distance. Like if Paye fell into the 20s somehow. It’s a huge need of the team IMO. I am nitpicking as Beane has done a great job. But I really hope he addresses that position and drafts a corner on day 2.

Yep I agree. While Beane has done a great job at re signing key guys at modest prices and has some great moves, I am a little disappointed in a few positions he hasn’t addressed. Yet at least. 1. Getting a pass rusher 2. Upgrading at CB2 3. Upgrading at RB (I’m ok with Knox at TE) Now it’s still super early and one or more of those things can still be upgraded. But I would be disappointed if they do not address at least two of those things.

Knox drives me crazy, but I truly think he’s going to take a big step next year. Hes still so raw and has all the physical skills to succeed. Just needs more reps I think.

Well there goes our back to back afc east titles!

1. Paying 10-12 mil to gronk would have been a disaster. 2. 2 years 16 mil for Rudolph in which he signed is just insane 3. Eagles probably were demanding way too much for a 30 year old player in which is coming off an injury riddled season. Beane had a price that he was willing to pay for one of those players, and it didn’t fit. You can’t get into bidding wars for average, aging tight ends.

How do you figure that? Eagles are in cap trouble and may now have to release Ertz instead of getting something for him. The Eagles really didn’t have any leverage with this trade. If beane didn’t like the price they were asking, the Bills would move on. Which is precisely what happened by the looks of it.

Yes sir, that’s exactly how I see it as well.

I’ll say Josh will have as good as a year as last year, (hard to be better) but his stats wont be as good. Just cause I think the bills are going to put a little more emphasis on running the ball compared to last year. “Little more” being the key words as I still think the bills will be a pass heavy team

Ya That’s exactly like something I was thinking. Anything over that, no way.

If they even pay half of that amount to him...

The chargers say: “Ya special teams is so overrated, who needs to focus on that”.

Do the eagles actually think they are going to get a ton in return for Ertz? Like weren’t they potentially going to cut him and still possibly might if they can’t find a trade suitor?

So true. Has like back to back 1000 yard seasons or something close to that at least, and they bring in Gordon . Has another descent year in a terrible offence, and then they release him lol. I don’t get it.

Golladay would be the clear number 1 in cinci IMO as he is way better than Boyd and Higgins

Bills aren’t going to pay Fuller 10-12 mil a year even on a 1 year deal. And I don’t think fuller would want to come to Buffalo to be the 2nd/3rd option. Sure his stats may be comparable say if he went to the bengals, but if he wants to get number 1 receiver money he has to prove it as the number 1. And playing as the 2nd or maybe even 3rd option in Buffalo would do nothing to help that.

Still need a QB though. Love Fitz, but there’s only so far he can take them

I think the part you’re missing though is he wants to prove he can be a dominant number 1 so he can cash in. And he will never have that opportunity in Buffalo regardless if his stats are similar if he went to cinci.

Do you think someone like golladay, fuller, or Samuel would want to come to Buffalo where they would be the 2nd or 3rd option though? (Diggs and Beas) I think part of them wanting to take a 1 year prove it contract is them knowing they will be the clear 1 on the team with a lot of balls coming their way. Especially someone like golladay

I think that’s well said. In saying that, I still hope the bills can find an upgrade over Levi. Draft a CB day one or 2 and hope he takes the reigns. While Levi is a serviceable player and plays hard, he’s still a mediocre CB2 IMO.

I hope draft. I really don’t think the bills need to do that much more at TE. A lot of signs show Knox should progress a lot year 3, and the bills run a ton of 10 and 11 personnel. So 2 TEs on the field at the same time doesn’t seem like it will happen too often.

Unfortunately this is very true ^. Hoping someone can beat him out this year. I know Levi isn’t terrible and he has good games, but you would think someone would be able to beat him out lol

Still want the bills to draft one at 30, or in the 2nd round

Lolll who is this guy on twitter...The guy is acting like he is Ian Rapoport
