He's the rare backup QB who is popular in Buffalo for his awesome character and personality, and not because our starter stinks.

Agreed. I've heard a lot of people compare Ed to Geno. Let's just let Ed become that player.

I can see the Bills taking a bit of a step back next year (still making the playoffs though). But becoming a more balanced team in the process. Same with Allen. Small step back in stats next year. But he'll become a better QB in the process. He's still learning and evolving.

Agreed. And he's better than Barkley as well.

Coach Washington will be pretty familiar with him. Not the same thing. But Beane will probably ask for his input.

I don't need boy scouts on this team. But what he did was something else. The only way I want to see Gronk on the Bills sideline, is if Hyde put him there with a vicious sideline hit.

Ridiculous waste of talent. The guy was on his way to being a real star.

At least they didn't sign his brother Jason. That guy is dangerous.

If Beane were really smart, he'd move his office to Guam and get a whole 20 hour lead on the west coast teams.

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.
