Success

This year has trade down written all over it, if they can find a partner. Good wr's and cb's available without having to use a high pick.

It's all perspective. I choose to look at him as the 6th rounder who may be the fastest guy in the nfl. But yeah - they need to at least sign some fa, and draft someone. I'm sure they will

I'm sure we'll snag an Aiken or someone like him, and draft a guy in the 1st few rounds. Listenbee is coming back. We'll be good. Sammy has to stay healthy.

I'm sure it's fun rooting for the pats, but it has to be a little like rooting for the house in blackjack.

I like this move - he earned it. Would have been nice to keep Brown too, but I'm glad they kept one of those guys.

I don't know - the Pats are getting a lot of hype for this offseason, but it's very "unPatriots." Usually, the Bills, Dolphins & Jets are making these kinds of splashy moves...and where has that gotten those 3 teams? The Pats also lost Ryan, Bennett, Volmer, et al, and could still lose Hightower, Blount & Butler. They just got a deep ball guy yesterday for a QB who doesn't have a good deep ball, and are overpaying for a very good but not elite CB. Maybe this is actually the year they blinked? They're going all in for a 40 year old QB who might be a hit away from retirement. And some of their big moves won't look as exciting on draft day, while they're watching other teams pick the 1st few rounds. Meanwhile, I like what the Bills have done - a lot. They've dumped players whose contracts don't match their value, cleared cap space & signed valuable (if not splashy) contributors & depth. I'm excited about the season. I just want the Bills to have a competitive team, and to be ready when the wheels finally do fall off the evil empire.

You never know. I'm one of the homers that had been predicting Brady's demise for years. I won't do it anymore. That said, the guy will be 40. Sure, he could win 2 more super bowls. But the wheels could come off fast too. The bills just have to keep fighting and improving. Be ready when it happens.

Thanks! I ditched the "future". I want success now! Good to see you and many of the other refugees here. I like this place - better discussion so far

This is why I want jimmy traded. I have made peace with the pats dominating under Brady. But 10 more years? No way. Don't let me down Cleveland

You know, Pats fans are going bananas rite now. But it probably won't be as exciting on draft weekend. People are going overboard. Cooks isn't jones or fitz

Love the post. Never stop fighting. Pats going all in with a guy who is 40. As we all know, it can work. But everyone is in uncharted waters here. Cooks won't get them to the show without Brady staying upright and playing close to peak for 16+ games

Take Gronk out of there - and what are the chances he lasts the season - and that's a pretty average corps on any other team

They're going all in and it's annoying, but they are one hard hit to a 40 year old for every one of these moves to be in vain

Thanks Corey. Glad to see the overhaul though. That unit has underachieved

BB always trades like this - he never actually loses a pick. As with everything, it seems so simple, yet few others copy it

It's a good point. And he may turn out that way which would be a big change for them. Brady has been so durable. But if he can stay healthy and is as good as I think, it will break me if he stays with the pats.

Jimmy is for real. I don't care if Cleveland trades this years #1 and a first next year - I want that guy out of New England. Teams can have amazing linemen and cb's and wr's and not even make the playoffs - we've been like that. Qb's make the difference

Thanks for this. Nice to have a new home.

I don't know why anyone is worried right now. They did the right thing with Taylor, and with clearing some cap space. Good fa signings so far. I keep seeing 17 years, but that's meaningless. The Pegulas are new. McDermott is new. And I love everything I've seen from him so far. This is a good team with lots of talent on both sides. Rex was just terrible

At least he's not a Patriot.

Well, what a happy morning this is in Western NY.

Thanks, Aaron - you played w/ HUGE heart. Such bad luck on the injuries. This is the smart move.

Oh, man - just reading that. First world problems, for sure.

I was not aware of that. Still, can't imagine that the market for him will be too competitive. Regardless, I think we're more okay at WR than most. If we can't re-sign Salas, I'm sure they'll move to get someone else - but I don't see us needing to spend a high-round pick on a guy.

Well, I don't hold it in higher regard, and I also don't question BB. He has earned the benefit of the doubt and then some. But he is overpaying a bit this time. He can afford to, but their cap space just got a bit smaller.
