He didn't specify but said less than last year.

It's the Jets baby!! What do you expect?

Here's what's gonna happen. The Bills will pick some players. Half of the board will be happy. The other half will need a hug.

Personnel changes happen every year. Some years more than others. These players were good Bills and gave us some exciting times as fans. We all had hoped they could bring home a championship. It didn't happen. Players don't last long. It's just the nature of the game plus the salary cap. I'll miss Tre White though. Before his injuries, he was really good and he was fun and funny. Yep gonna miss Tre.

Players can and do improve year over year. Especially between year 1 and year 2.

As a Bills fan, I appreciate what Diggs brought to the Bills offense. It was an exciting time. After initial shock hearing of the trade, it was time for the Bills to move on. To trade away a player while incurring a $31 M cap hit is pretty telling.

Diggs appeared to be on board the first 2 seasons and then the drama kicked in after the contract extension. It must have been pretty bad for them to trade him and take that kind of cap hit.

Even before the Bills traded Diggs, I was believing the Bills would make a big move up in the 2025 draft to get WR1. The Bills have too many roster spots to fill in 2024 (S, CB, LB, OL, DT, and WR). I think the Bills draft 2 WRs this year and sign a veteran WR on a 1yr deal. Then bust a move in 2025 draft to get a legit WR1 when the roster is more stable.

Can't help but think Beane has something in the works as far as a trade or FA signing. The draft is too much of a crap shoot.

Marino does point out great numbers on Diggs, Davis, Kincaid, and Shakir. Pretty telling of why they traded Diggs and let Davis go in FA. Plus I believe Diggs just wore people out to include Allen.

I never thought PSLs would go as high as $50k. There may be a higher turnover than everyone anticipated. Some people may not even have a choice but to opt out. That sucks.

Might be right

I think McD is a pretty good coach. Has he made mistakes? Yes. The Bills have had some injuries the last 2 seasons which have not helped. Teams that win the SB usually have some luck regarding injuries. I don't think the Bills roster has been as good as needed. Not enough high draft picks on offense. Too many high picks on defense. Too much FA money on defense. Not enough FA money on offense. I think the team's roster philosophy is flawed. You have Allen and Diggs on offense and now 1 season with Kincaid. Get more wideouts for Allen who can get open and catch the F'n ball. Why is this so hard?

I don't pretend to know all the rules, but I was thinking earlier today if the Bills might try to get White, at some point during the season, on the PS. Have him work back to getting ready and possibly elevate him late in the season or not. Like I said, don't know all the rules involved with released players.

Before White was released, I thought best case was he started on the PUP and come back at some point this season. His availability timeline seems murky and don't see any team in a hurry to sign him at this point.

Johnson is 6'4 315. He's a DT, so he's not going to have great stats. He's just going to clog up the LOS. I think Samuel could be a pretty good signing.

Sneed is good. Glad he's no longer a Chief. So is Diggs.

Beane will most likely trade around a bit within later rounds to get a guy he covets. Also I can see him trading up into the 3rd rd. Bills have not had much luck stashing draft picks on the PS. The last few drafts, these picks have been claimed off waivers. I can see 6 - 8 actual drafted players by the Bills. Getting back into the 3rd round might be a little tricky and cost a few picks.

Bills are light at DT and S. I could see a veteran DT and S signing in FA. Going into the draft they then could go WR, DT, S, CB and DE. I hate saying this because I want a WR, but I think Beane might go DL first and then WR.

I had to look up his stats and highlights, and I live in the DC area. He looks pretty good to me.

I like the idea and the plan but I think it's one year too soon. Too many roster spots to fill this season. A good draft this year makes your idea plausible next years draft imo

Agree. I want Douglas back too. However we don't know what's going on behind the scenes. He may want more money than the Bills are willing to pay.

True if he plays this year for the Bills, it's a fair trade. Speculation based on Beane talking about Douglas in past tense, are the Bills getting ready to release Douglas? If he gets released, I don't think it was good trade for the Bills.

Letting Douglas go and promoting Elam to starter seems rather risky to me especially with White recovering from an Achilles. Perhaps plan A was to extend Douglas but his asking price is too high and plan B is letting him go.

Not to mention we wasted a 3rd rd pick for basically a rental
