Maybe, maybe not. What other texam is left left right now without a starting QB? The Bills? I can't think of anyone else offhand. Id imagine he'd probably see his chances at starting for the Jets sometime next season, for the often injured and 39yr old Josh McCown, as pretty good. If the Jets tell him that they see him as their potential long term starter but want to work him back slowly, he could sign there. It depends on if he sees a better opportunity elsewhere I guess. As of now I don't see too many, but that can change quickly in the NFL. Itll be interesting to see what happens in NY, that's for sure. If they sign Bridgewater, I'm hoping that means they won't go as hard after a QB in the draft. I hope he does sign there and they decide not to go QB with pick 6 or attempt a trade up!

I hope this doesn't mean that they are all in on trading up for a QB...

Jack is back! (at practice at least)... I'll take it! Definitely glad he is nearing a return.

What kind of cars do you have that you're looking to get rid of?

I'd be very happy with Foles for a 3rd. Eagles may just hold onto him until they see if Wentz is ready to go. Or they may just wait and see if a team has an injury at the QB position and gives up the 1st + that they want for him... And I have zero interest in Foles for a 1st.

Foles is the best option left, for sure. But if we trade a 1st for him and skip over a QB in the 1st round I'll puke, and lose a lot of faith in "the process".

I hope they are. Otherwise itll really suck if they miss out on the top 3 QBs in this draft as well as seemingly already missing out on all of the decent free agent QBs, and not even having Tyrod as a placeholder option anymore. If the QB draft class looked better next year I wouldn't be as worried because I'd say "hey, maybe we'll get a high pick next year and get our QB then". But the QB class looks like garbage outside of (basically) 1 guy, so.... Yeah, it's looking more and more like they have no choice but to go all in on a QB in the draft this year.

The fact that none of the top free agent QBs seemed to have much of any interest in signing here makes me wonder if they all probably think the Bills are trading up for a QB too...

I don't really care as long as we land one of the top 3 QBs in this draft class! I just hope we don't miss out on a QB in the draft and end up trading a 1st for Foles... Or decide not to trade up and give up a 1st for Foles instead.

It would be a very nice depth signing.

Fantastic news!!!! The heart and soul of the Bills is back! Welcome back Kyle!

I'm good with any of the 3. I have my preferences, but I will put my faith in the Billls new brain trust to get this right. They've been very smart about their moves so far (IMO) and have a lot of top end tsl not evaluators on staff.

He would make a whole lot of sense to be a mentor to a rookie QB. He seems like he'd embrace it and fill that role very well.

I wonder if they think Bridgewater is good enough to pass on a QB at 6? Or or at least have no interest in trading up? I still think they take Allen at 6. Maccagnan fell in love with Hackenberg and he and Allen are somewhat similar IMO (not saying they are the same by any means). Both are massive (Hack 6'4", Allen 6'5") prototypical QBs with all the measurables. Both have flashed great potential. Both struggle with accuracy. Both have huge arms.

Well damn. I actually would have been happy with Bradford. We are just about down to the table scraps now... Bridgewater is probably the best of what's left, and I'd be happy with him (if his knee is healthy enough to play). Bills better pray they get their QB in the draft, otherwise they will probably be overpaying significantly for Foles (1st round pick or more) which would suck.

Dude, he's been well known in his career (since college) to be great against the run. And he can absolutely maul people and eat up double teams. He is a powerhouse. He is excellent at holding the point of attack. http://www.carolinahuddle.com/2017/08/28/carolina-panthers-star-lotulelei/ https://www.sbnation.com/2016/11/1/13486176/star-lotulelei-panthers-defensive-lineman-sacks-cardinals-hoss-of-the-week http://www.panthers.com/news/article-2/Still-a-Star-in-the-making/d497efb7-5a06-4f69-a8ff-42a6a9d5418c https://catcrave.com/2016/03/24/tbt-the-best-of-star-lotulelei/ http://www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bills/index.ssf/2018/03/6_things_to_know_about_new_buffalo_bills_dt_star_lotulelei.html.

I don't see anything on Ian Rapaport's twitter about this. Do do we know where/when he supposedly said this? Was it on TV? Just strange he hasn't tweeted anything about this, if it's true.

I'd actually be really happy with Bradford. He is a very good QB when on the field, and I think he would fit Daboll's system well. His problem has been staying on the field, not poor QB play.

Anxious to see the contract terms. He definitely fills a big need, and has been extremely reliable in his career so far (only 2 games missed in 5 years IIRC). Seems like a good signing.

Is that the tweet in question that started is thread? It was from back in January... and she even says he was guessing. lol. And I can't remember Albright being right all that often anyway.

For how many years though? How long do do you think all those guys in Jacksonville defense will be able to stay together before big pay days force a lot of that talent out? 3, 4 more years at most? I don't know that the game is changing... this is the first year we've seen anything like that with numerous lower/mid tier QBs make the playoffs. Let's see if that trend continues or if it was just a fluke before we say the game has changed. It seems like most years. Look at this list of the top 10 records of the last 10 years. Almost every single team in the top 10 has a very good franchise QB. https://www.foxsports.com/nfl/gallery/every-nfl-teams-10-year-record-ranked-32-1-010417 Also, I'm not sure the Eagles make it nearly as far as they did if a Foles plays the whole season. He wasn't nearly as good in the regular season when he came in for Wentz. He got hot in the playoffs. We will never know though so it's a moot point. Anyway... That Super Bowl ended up being an amazing shootout between 2 QBs who both played one of the best games of their life. Even with the Eagles great regular season defense, they don't win that game without Foles justbplaying out of his mind good.

Hopefully that'll mean that the Broncos will at least have no interest in trading up for a QB anymore. It'd be even better if they view Keenum as a good enough QB to keep their current window open, decide to pass on a QB at 5 or even trade down, surround him with more talent and go for a SB now. They may view him as good enough to keep their window open (since he did almost take Minnesota to the SB this past season...). Im not sure that Keenum signing makes them pass on a QB at 5 though. We may get a better idea once we see what Keenum's dela looks like...

Ive been thinking about that quite a bit recently, when weighing the merits of trading up vs using all the picks to build the team. The chance to add a bunch of talent through this draft is enticing, but I keep coming back to 1 thought... Which move would make the team a true contender for the next decade? Say we hit on the draft picks and build a strong team that's able to compete with a Tyrod caliber QB - they're able to ride a great defense and some big playmakers on offense... How long are we actually able to keep that team together in this age of the salary cap and big spending in free agency? 4 years maybe? Then everyone will want to get paid and we will start potentially losing many of those quality players. Where as if we hit hit on a true franchise QB who can elevate the play of those around him, we could be a contender year in and out for a long time and that QB could hide a lot of holes that would otherwise need to be filled.
