What I would like to add is that I think this regime would be willing to spend some extra cash to get a dependable receiver for Allen. Getting a #1 caliber receiver is difficult to acquire from the market
I agree but yeah the market isn't there this year. If someone like AJ Green is available could see us swinging a trade for him. But I'm hoping they straight up buy an offensive line. I don't trust rookie linemen and we could use to replace everyone except Dawkins and maybe Teller.

I would definitely bring him in to compete with Zay. He still has something left in the tank and he fits the process. He can actually catch the ball consistently, which is a plus. If we went into 2019 with Foster, Zay, Garcon, and a 1st or 2nd round rookie I would feel very comfortable with that group.

I'd be surprised if they sign more than one more free agent lineman, and if they do, I think it's someone coming off a rookie contract or similar age, like Spain. I doubt they sign a more seasoned veteran.
Not sure I agree. Overall they will build through the draft but they aren't saving all that free cap space for 3-4 seasons from now. I would expect them to go for one or two big names in free agency this year and it just so happens that the biggest names are on the offensive line. Beane came right out and said he would love a veteran center protecting Allen. They don't want to rely on a rookie for that job. I expect them to go pretty hard after Paradis or Morse even if they have to overpay. Being smart with the salary cap allows you to overpay a couple free agents per year. I really think they are trying to build the team like that Patriots. Draft your own, establish your system, but go for a big free agent now and again when it fits a need.

If Poyer wants no part of being his teammate and Beane would rather have brown, trade Poyer and picks for brown. LOTS of safeties available. I LOVE Poyer, but AB is a franchise changer.
I had the same line of thought when I first considered the idea, but this would be like throwing a grenade into the locker room. Poyer is a leader on our defense. He's friends with White and Hyde. Trading him away and bringing in the guy that slept with their friend's wife would be the end of this regime. I'm done dreaming about Antonio Brown coming here. It has as much chance of happening as the Redskins signing Reuben Foster's girlfriend.
-
Man I would love Antonio Brown here. We would deal with his diva attitude in exchange for his top 5 WR skills for the next couple of seasons. But that can't happen because Jordan Poyer's Instagram model wife slept with him the day before their wedding. What a ridiculous world we live in...

Calling it one of the worst moves in Bills free agency history is just plain stupid.
The trolls here are fighting for real estate. Bad takes aren't enough. You need to have the WORST takes to really prove your mettle.

My prediction is Arizona trades for him with their 2nd round pick.

People are all excited about a shiny new player, that'll wear off when they realize he is a bad center and an average guard.
If he's an average guard he's an upgrade.

Honest question: what do you think the % of guys who hit woman won’t repeat it? Because I think guys who are women beaters tend to repeat the behavior more than say someone who gets caught stealing a laptop (Cam Newton’s crime in college that people used to put him down before the draft).
I don't care what percentage of guys do it again. That logic has been used to defend all sorts of ridiculous laws. By all accounts Simmons has been a model citizen and it happened several years ago. Maybe he'll screw up again but I won't assume anything.
-
I guess this could be a desperation move in September or October if all else fails.
-
Cleveland is really embracing that unlovable mindset. Mayfield, Landry, and now Hunt. If Simmons falls to them in the 1st I wouldn't be surprised if he is the pick.
-
Trent Richardson is an AAF star, for whatever that's worth. Found out today Birmingham is the Bills' AAF team so I'll be rooting for them.

My overall opinion is except for QB play this league represents mainly rotational NFL talent. RB and WR seem like talent wise equal to most 2nd stringers
These guys aren't even practice squad caliber. Practice squad players in the NFL make $130,000 a year. AAF players are paid around $83,000 a year.
-
I could see Peterman ending up here at some point. Arm strength isn't a big deal.
-
If the NFL borrows anything from the AAF it should be the way they handle challenges.

I like that they let the CBs fight the receivers a little.

Oh hey Ron Brooks is playing! So that's where he ended up.

And with that hit, I am happily watching football in mid February.

Alright I've convinced myself to tune in. Someone tell me which team to root for.

Sad that some on this board will defend woman beaters
This is really missing the point. A couple people are defending what he did, I agree that that is terrible. But the majority of us are defending his ability to change. As a society we should reward such commitment to change because lifelong social punishment in the name of "justice" doesn't help anyone. Of course he won't get any more strikes, if he does something that terrible again his NFL career should be over.

at some point, the completion percentage will need to rise to justify all the catchable/precision vs accuracy stuff.
No it won't. You can be the most accurate QB in the world, if you aren't reading the field your completion percentage will be low. The whole point of this thread is that his accuracy isn't as big a deal as it's made out to be. Obviously he has other issues that are pretty common for rookies. If he develops in other areas without ever improving his accuracy he will have a high completion percentage regardless. Mahomes is not a precise passer but he completes a ton of passes because he knows when to take the easy throw.

Ok. I gotta jump in here. Everyone has stated their admiration for the work you're putting in. But Josh Allen had a low completion percentage at JUCO. A low completion percentage at Wyoming. And a low completion percentage with the Bills. His accuracy will be questioned as long as his completion percentage remains low. It's really that simple.
Low completion percentage is a problem. But it doesn't equal accuracy. He needs to improve on reading the field and taking more easy throws on early downs. That will increase his completion percentage and efficiency whether he ever becomes more accurate or not.

I would love that trade. Take the BPA at WR and OL, bottom of the 1st is perfect for values at those positions. But I don't know who Oakland would be willing to trade up for.

I hope Beane finds someone else to help him scout wrs because he has been terrible in that department.
Beane has only been responsible for Benjamin, McKenzie, Foster, and a 6th and 7th rounder that didn't work out. He hasn't been around along enough to say he's "terrible." He just hasn't spent a lot at the position yet. The only big miss he's had is Benjamin.

I guess that's where the disagreement lies. He isn't being paid like a difference maker. He has the 15th highest average salary out of every DT. He is right between Dontari Poe and Cory Liuget on the salary list. I'd say that's a fair estimation of where his value lies. And the most recent contracts will always be slightly higher than the ones before. To me, Star is perfect value because I don't need an elite run stuffer in the modern NFL. Average to slightly above average is all I'm looking for, and that's exactly what our run defense was in 2018. $10 million per year isn't that much anymore. The salary cap increase this year alone pays his salary. The real difference makers are making over $15 million per year.
