Those teams however, are going to run out of money eventually. Then what happens when guys start getting cut? They won't beable to add anyone. At this point next year, Miami will not beable to afford the guys they have signed. A lot of those contracts were back loaded. I saw a crazy stat(mind you this was 2 days ago). At that point in time the guys Miami had signed counted for about $25 mil against the cap for 2013. For 2014, those same guys cost them $48 mil against next years cap. That was before they kept signing people.

I am still sticking to the crazy conspiracy theory (mostly because it is fun). Maybe they are involving a third team for a sneaky trade Like Revis or a QB. Maybe they will have said third team trade for Revis, and then in turn trade him to us. They could be saving cap space for a contract. To be serious here tho. I really think they are going to hit the clearance racks after the crazy rush. Makes sense with analytics to get the most for your money.

It has been really quiet. Too quiet. Makes me think something bigger is going on. I never expected them to go crazy in free agency. This has been beyond uneventful. What are they up to? If I was incharge I would try sneaky deals:)

I have a crazy idea. What if the Bills are waiting for a reason? Maybe possibly a sneaky deal to end up with Revis? By sneaky I mean involving a third team to make the trade for Revis, and then having them trade him to us. The Jets would definatly not be willing to trade him to a division rival. I know, I know..........but just maybe lol. It's all I have right now. Dreaming.

I have a feeling the #Bills are getting set to shop the clearance section in free agency. The point of analytics is value. So they are sitting back watching people over pay for the name brand.....then shopping the clearance when it goes on sale:) any savvy female can see the reasoning behind this

Ok so what I am gatheering so far.......is that the Dolphins, Brown, and Cheifs want everyone.

me too it is tattooed on my foot lol a lot of good smart football fans

I personally love flying off the handle over ever move and rumor the Bills make. It makes the off season so much more fun I change my mind every 3.2 seconds anyway

ok.........atleast they are doing what they said, and keeping our own guys first. We may not agree on what players are the most important to keep, however they are doing it.

When it was said that he was going to be a starter, my question was how does Nix know? Free agency hasn't come, the draft, mini camp, training camp, etc. On top of that Marrone is the coach. Shouldn't he be choosing his starters? So what if we pay Mckelvin a bunch of $ and he doesn't beat( say an undrafted) for the starting position? We will be paying him for just returning the ball. Just seems a little crazy at the moment. I will wait for contract details. This feels like Brad Smith all over again.

IDK.......i wanted him back but $5 mil? really? maybe he is going to be the other starting CB, because if not he is getting a lot of $ to return the ball

Bills have re signed mckelvin 4 yrs/$20 mil via john murphy

I just want to thank all you guys for the laughs haha! Also does anyone know what the cheifs cap space looks like? Seems to me the are interested in everyone! I am sick of hearing about them

haha no not really i will ask the person who wrote those tho i am sure he knows. Also i think you could only come up with an estimate because u never know how contracts would be structured from yr to yr within multi yrs

They bring up some names that haven't been talked about and show us that just because we can't sign all of the flashy names out there. There are still plenty of not so flashy guys out there that we can afford who could fit in our system nicely.

Mario is right now average......based on being injured half of the season. Until he proves that he will be above average or good on a consistant basis. I did my voting based on what they have done......not what they are capable of doing

Yay!

Average for Mario. I understand he can be a great player, but based on last year he was just as inconsistant as the rest of the defense. Mark Anderson......below average. Again this is based on last season. How many games did he play again? Not enough for me to consider him average. Depth.....below average. This could change depending on re signings and all of the moving peices in the new defense. As of right now, today tho......it is below average.

Yup! Even I like Fitz the person. You can see that he wants to be good. He tries like hell to be aggressive, but he just doesn't have it. Wish he would think about going into coaching. I bet he would be great at that

I don't really think having a different QB would bother Stevie at all. The whole vibe of everything he said about Fitz this year, did not seem whole hearted to me. Infact he seemed a lot like he was losing faith in his QB. His body language was off when talking about Fitz, and a lot of time he looked like he was hoping he wouldn't be asked about him at all. Stevie said exactly what he should say( and I think at one point he actually believed it).

Thank you I specifically came back on here to ask that very question. Was wondering if it was non exclusive

This irritates me quite a bit! Not because Byrd is staying, that I am thrilled about. I am irritated because that means that neither wanted to sign a long term deal with us. (Unless Levitre does within the next few days) So either they wanted more money than what was offered, or they just don't want to be part of a losing team anymore. Either way, not good.

I am going to have to revisit this poll after free agency. We have many needs I veiw as important.......but until I see what we do in free agency, I can not for sure know what our depth will look like at draft time.

keep your eye on Joe bergeron from texas this year. He is 6 1 230 lbs. An absolute bruiser, run you over type RB.
