These guys won't get paid on suspension, so, 6 game checks each revert to the Bills I would think. So, built in slalary discount. They cn do camp, then will have to sit out and stay away for 4 games. Can practice for two weeks before week 7 I think.

I was thinking a Bocce Club gift certificate. But, where they live, probably Imperial pizza makes more sense.

Dolac was a surprise AAmerican to me. Yes, good, but then, overlooked by the pro's. I think the Bills, who develope talent, are a great landing spot. He will get free agent offers if not drafted, but Bean has late round picks to burn, and he should be one imho.

Timing suggests he would not negotiate a lower contract. Wanted to try free agency. Good luck, hopefully out of AFC East.

Half the games. UGH!

wrt the Benford situation. Remember the Bills were burned by the Tre White contract at CB. Perhaps with the concussions, they are wanting protection from that kind of injury situation again.

Hollins caughtt 6 tds I think, definitely looking at the market.

Miller is old and slow, getting by on his experience. Getting rid of him finally admits the unfortunate swing and miss here.

I hope Bean and the Bills learned from the Miller fiasco. A true swing and miss, and handicaped the Bills salary cap wise for 3 years. A really bad move. Lets see now, what are we talking about? Oh yeh, another such move. I am extreme suspicious that this works out well if executed. The Bills need to much help to give up the assets for Garrett, Crosby or Metcalf. And, Parson does not belong in this discussion, he is a creation of the sports media pumping the Cowboys to get more viewers. Parsons got eaten alive by the Bills a year ago.

HIs rookie year, Dennis Shaw as Bills QB was Offensive Rookie of the year in the AFL.(noodle arm) His career flamed out after that, but he did have one good year. Worth an asterick mention on the list. Of course, being my age, there are not many of us left on this board that recall him.

Williams looks fast on the field. He is a good player to have on the team. And, if he can learn to cover, he can replace Milano anytime I guess. Milano is now getting by on his experience and smarts. that works too, but he is in the downward path at this point it seems. Of course, lbs play in the league for a looong time if they want to, Milano may be one of those.

The Bills don't need another Willis McGahee situation. Having your #1 not play his first season is NG, even though McGahee turned out to be a pro, just not a speedy as he was in college.

Bean paid a reasonable price for Diggs (a #1 I think) Two #1s would be foolish though, no matter how good Crosby or Garrett might be. The Miller deal was a clean miss. He has not been the closer Bean thought he was getting. Now he is old and slow and getting by on experience. His recent fumble recovery return showed how slow he is now. (he was run down by his own DL mates trying to block.

Von is physically an old man. He picked up that fumble and ran 40s yards w it late season.The DL guys behind him wanted to push him along he was so slow. If the D line guys are all faster than him...we need an upgrade. He is getting by on his many years of experience. I mean, he is a pro on the far end of a career that was magnificent, but he shouldn't be on the roster. Pay him off.....post June 1 saves more money I think. Draft a young stud to backup our two starters at lb. Maybe even two. (I still like Dorian, blazing speed.)

SNL is too political. Josh needs to stay out of that rats nest.

Bledsoe said after his first year, he didn't know how good PP was before he got to Buffalo. and, for a half a year, PP and Bledsoe killed it.

Milano will be physically healed in 2025, and may be back to form. LB's have been known to play well into their 30's in the NFL, and Milano may be one of those. I vote to keep him. Cook, on the other hand is really more of a commodity. Behind the OL as it exists, most fair rb's would look good. imho.

High character guy, knows the D. Maybe as an assistant db coach if he wants to take his life in that direction.

Lonnnie Johnson.......

Von Miller needs to go. Likely some others as well. Draft DL and DBs. Until the cap is in order, no big signings. Lots of the vet signings have not worked out, don't lean on that to much. this Bills team is not a superbowl team...the D isn't up to it. And, Bills should have drafted Cooper DeJean first in the second round, and picked up Coleman later.

Rex got a 5 year deal w the Bills and lasted just under 2 years. But, he got paid in full.

Yes, I noticed that too. Perhaps the DL is forced into scheme moves that don't fit these players talent. something is wrong here. We need to put square pegs into square holes or something like that.

The Bills turned AJE into a pass rushing DE. He came out of IOWA as a DT. I wonder if that decision was wrong and he should have bulked up and play DT. Just saying, the Bills did what they wanted w him, and may not have gotten it right. I rate him a journeyman DE, but not great.

Beneford can't run with the burners. So, he is limited to what he can do in McD's scheme. He may grade out well, but, man coverage is a problem for him. He was a late draft choice for a reason....lack of top end speed. Douglas is clearly on a lower plane than he was in 23, just getting older. Bills would only retain him for veteran minimum, as he is better than Ingram or Lewis. Johnson had only a fair year, but he is still solid, maybe the game breaker he was a few years ago. Yup, new talent is needed in these positions. As for safety, Rapp and Bishop can play, just not at the level we have been used to. Bishop may yet develope into the player we need. Hamlin should not be retained, good slow soldier. But, a good tackler like him might hang on in the margins. Again, one of the top thre draft choices needs to go here. Looks like a DE, CB and Safety round 1 and two to me. (where the Bills have three picks) Another late round db might also be picked if he has the speed necessary to cover the burners.

he would get a 5 year contract. Rex had a 5 year deal w the Bills, worked just under two. the Bills paid that off fully. so, $8 mil w 5 years guaranteed could still move him. He probably makes about $3mil today. I am not saying this will happen, but, that is the type of temptation we are talking about here.
