Tom Brady is 41. George Blanda retired at 48.
If Gore and Beasley can play at a high level and help the team win, I sure don’t care how old they are.
Age is just a number.
.
Rich Gannon came out of nowhere to put together an MVP season at age 35, so maybe we should re-sign Losman. i hear he looked good slinging the ball at Clemson.

That’s what FA is all about, the chance to overpay. Your hope to get to the point where you can do it all (or most of it) through the draft, but we’re not there this year. Most of our deals seem to be structured in a way that we’re not saddled with a bad contract for years. THAT is the key as far as I’m concerned. Hopefully he turns into a pleasant surprise.
Yea, but if you want to overpay at least do it for good players. You could have had Antonio Brown for the same price as John Brown and Cole Beasely. If you think we won that deal, you probably think a Target knife set is better than one proper knife.

Jordy Nelson: 2 year deal.

Frank Gore is 36 and Cole Beasley is 30. What in the hell are you talking about?

Did he send the GIF when it was reported we were trading for AB?

Please.
May be off the table for you, but for nobody else is trading back gone. Might not happen, but you can bet they still think it's an option.
Trading up? Yeah, not in the first round. Last year they had two massive holes they needed to fill, particularly at QB but also at the Kuechle spot in McD's defence. This year no massive holes. Not unless someone like Bosa falls to sixth or seventh or something wild like that.
No massive holes? We have ZERO skill position players of any significance. I dont think 3rd tier players like Brown, Beasley and Gore are going to do a thing to address the offensive incompetence that's been on display for this team. The AFC continues to get stronger and stronger, and the Bills just stand pat. As of now, we're the 3rd most talented team in our own division, and unless they make significant improvements between now and August, I think we're on pace to be in a similar or worse draft position next April. -

Cole Bease has been regarded as one of the top slot guys in the league for a while now
John Brown is most known as a speed guy.....
A lot of these signings so far are low risk high reward who are coming off injuries have have shown production in the past.......this I agree with HOWEVER I worry much less about the name of the player then how they would fit our offensive and defensive schemes
And they fit
They're moderate risk moderate reward like all Bills moves. These guys are all on the backside of their career, and now the Bills are asking them to carry the load.
They overpay them enough so that they become the guy.

Based on the contract numbers, none of these guys appear to have been brought in to be "marquee players"
Trying to hit it on the cheap. Like Spencer Johnson et al.

Yep - feels about right. Or like many of our signings over the past 15-20 years. Andra Davis, Dwan Edwards, Geoff Hangartner, Kawika Mitchell and so forth.
That's exactly it. Seems like Buffalo is always trying to take another team's niche rotational player and pay him to come here and try to be a marquee player.

Did I forget the #championship?

These signings remind me of the early 2000s. The Bills brass are bringing in consolation prizes with a general philosophy of you can win with a bunch of average JAGs. Morse excluded. Don't see us making a deep run on the backs of Cole Beasley and John Brown.

And here we go. Whine that they haven't signed anyone earlier today, then whine when they do. Some of you should trade your Bills gear in.
Well, it's kinda like sending someone to the store to buy an xbox with all the cash they need and find out they bought this with the cash from a guy in the parking lot:

If you aren't angry, you're easily scammed.

this is a case where they should have over payed in my opinion. an area of need and they are never going to spend all this cap money nor should they 11 million per year would not have effected their bottom line in the least and my have swayed the player. interested to see what happens at right tackle and center
The titans already grossly overpaid.-

Wentz is gonna be a great qb in this league for the next dozen years man. He was the best qb in the NFL last year until his injury.
No way he gets dealt. Zero chance.
If Foles beats Brees, I think you have to trade Wentz. Wentz has one good year to his name so far.
-
If you just forget about what they're getting paid, and how they were acquired, who's the better QB? I think the answer is Foles. Obviously Wentz has more talent, but Foles is the one taking this team deep for the second year in a row. You might win less regular season games with him, but he's already won more SB's.

That's a lot of words to essentially print a quote. It probably should have been a tweet.
-
I changed my mind. We need to do whatever it takes to draft Josh Allen, just to confuse every commentator and listener for the rest of their careers.
-
I want them to trade back as many times as possible. Give me 4 2nd round picks and 6 third round picks instead.
Then give me David Sills. Incredible story and player. -
Now: Mayfield, Allen, Jackson, Darnold, Rosen.
3 years from now: Mayfield, Allen, Rosen, Jackson, Darnold -
Barkley is the easiest pick there is. If the giants were a playoff team He'd be in the MVP conversation. He's better than the rest of the Giants roster combined.

Why?
The Cowboys in 1975 went to the Super Bowl with 12 rookies. 2 of them were offensive lineman.

This the kind of draft performance coupled with really good FA signing we need if "THE PROCESS" has any chance of success.
We've had McDermott and Beane's first year and mulligan tank year. 2019 is time to put up or shut up. No more excuses.
My bottom line for next year is we better be at least "in the hunt" going into week 17.
A couple things have changed in the last 50 years.

How the state of the Bills franchise has changed dramatically

This is what I didn't want to burn the energy to type. I think some people are impressed by McD and Beane, because they've never heard this schtik before. In my line of work I see niave and inexperienced execs extoll it continuously. They're basically saying, trust us - we know what we're doing and no we don't have key performance metrics to back it up. Spoiler: They don't know what they're doing.
I've seen this movie a dozen times.
