What can he reasonably expect in the current market? Beane holds all the cards here. Take the cut, Mario and still make more than you would as a free agent.

Same. I was even preparing myself for the team to take a small step back next season to re-tool for a long SB run. Nope. Beane is going for the jugular.

He's a power guy who relies on strength and technique to rush. Power guys don't usually fall off like the speed rushers do. You might be right about Addison.

I'm happy to admit that I was wrong. I thought we'd lose Milano to keep Williams. The draft can go in so many directions now.

"[W]here he became a star" is where he had one of the all-time best OL coaches in Scarnecchia, and a QB who consistently gets the ball out in 2 seconds. Neither of the two is on the team anymore.

Like most on here, I'm tired of the Bills dipping into the Panther's well... ...but Palardy was a really good punter. I wouldn't be upset if they also took a look at Kawann Short. We don't want Beane liking someone just because he was a Panther. But we also can't hate someone just because he was a Panther.

I understand your point. Addison definitely didn't live up to his contract. But his contract isn't friendly to just being cut. Sure, you'll save a couple million. But will you be able to sign a better replacement for less than what you save by cutting him? Probably not. I think we're stuck with hoping this was just a down year for Addison. I'd be shocked if he were cut.

I hear you. I'm just saying that I'd rather him not be in our division. Whether it's the Pats, Fins, or Jets. I think he's a good QB. While QBs aren't fully responsible for wins, good QBs always increase your team's chance to win.

You don't have to be the best QB in the league to get the top contract. You just have to be the best one currently looking for an extension. Both Carr and Goff were the highest paid QB in the NFL at one point.

Dak isn't as good as Mahomes... But he's good enough that I wouldn't want to see the Pats sign him.

Say that to his face.

McDermott has shown a willingness to change. To adapt. It cannot be overstated how important this is to long term success. For this reason, I am hopeful that he goes away from the savvy, non-athletic vet to play CB2 in a zone scheme. We need a young athletic CB2 across from T. White. We need scheme versatility. Sherman will not give us that. Just like Norman couldn't do it this year. While I like Dane and Levi, neither one is athletic enough for this either.

If Mike Hilton is only going to cost 4M per, I want the Bills to pursue.

I love Feliciano's attitude. But I don't love his play. We can save a lot of money by restructuring Morse. D. Williams should be the priority free agent to retain for the Bills. Then we will probably draft a guard in the high / mid rounds of the draft. If they can sign a good free agent to act as a bridge or competition for Ford and Boettger, that would be great. I really think we're realistically looking at Dawkins / FA / Morse / Ford / Williams as the starting line next year. With Bates, Boettger, another FA, and rookie as backups.

Drafting a running back in the 1st round when run blocking is bad = drafting Sammy Watkins when your quarterback is EJ Manual.

On this Bills team, I don't think you keep Morse AND Feliciano. You sit down with Morse and have a serious conversation about his thoughts on concussions and playing another season. Don't even talk to Feliciano about numbers until you sit down with Morse. On a separate note, there is no way I'm paying Feliciano 8M per year average. I love his attitude, not his play.

Beane was pretty open during his press conference. It points to the direction the Bills are heading in this offseason. Milano, Brown, and Feliciano will not be back. They will try hard to sign Williams. Beane will be looking hard for a new athletic TE. No major RB acquisitions. As a replacement for Milano, Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah would look good in a Bills uniform. Maybe Zaven Collins. Both are playmakers on defense.

In Madden, a long time ago, I would line up in onside kick Right. Then short kick it to the left side. My guy would get it most of the time. The Bills should just do that.

Walterfootball.com was one of my favorites. But the site has become nearly unusable lately. So many pop-ups and ads. Just slows down the whole browser.

Jim Leonhard is the type of former player that tends to make a good coach. He's a guy that succeeded on hard work and brains. He was never the most athletic guy. But he had smarts, instinct, and tenacity. I wish him well until he plays the Bills.

It will definitely be interesting to see what Beane does. As much as I love Roberts and appreciate what he provides, I think they might opt to replace him with McKenzie (who took a punt the distance a few weeks ago). I think your "needs" are pretty spot on. I would add CB2 to the list. What I'd love to see is us trade down from the 30th pick and use the 3 second round picks on CB, OLB, OG. I left Williams off of my list of cuts because I think the Bills make him the priority free agent to re-sign. And yes, we need a fast RB. Those can be found in later rounds. I do not want an RB at pick 30.

My opinion is the biggest moves will be who we lose, not who we pick up. I think we lose Milano, Feliciano, and Roberts, and Brown. Bean is going to need a great draft this year. My vote would be for trading down and taking 3 2nd round picks. Unless someone like Micah Parsons falls to 30 (could happen due to locker room issues).

Couldn't have happened to a nicer team.

Hughes doesn't make it home very often. But he gets pretty consistent pressure. Plus he's a leader in the locker room. We should keep him.

Might be the worst call I've seen in my life of watching football. I'm not being hyperbolic. That FG was wrong on so many levels.
