Agreed. Im also assuming Poyer is going to want top safety money. I think Edmunds could be had for an easier cap hit. He is young enough where a long contract will provide more flexibility. I think we ride as is in 2022. I can see Oliver and Edmunds having very good years with better play at 1 tech.

McCreary and Olave.

He is still about the age of the current draft class. Now I do think his style of play is not what the majority of fans would want from a Lb. That doesnt make him poor. As much as Poyer and Hyde get credit for Buffalo having unreal pass coverage consistency, Edmund is as important if not more. The best thing the defense has done is defend the pass. Above average coverage linebakers do not grow on trees. That is my concern.

Warren Sapp doesn't play 60% of snaps in Buffalo either. The talent Edmunds and Oliver possess are harder to replace imo than Poyer. Saftey is not a premier position. Imo, it comes down to what Poyer wants. If he takes a team friendly deal sure you can bring back everyone. If he wants top safety money than imo thats too much. Dont get me wrong I love Poyer and everything he does for the defense. At a point players start to decline. Teams that have had sustained success NE, Gb, Pit for example get off vetran players earlier than most. Buffalo is going to need to consider that model. Otherwise you look around and are expensive and old without much options.

Cant extend everybody. Imo Poyer would be easier replaced than Edmunds or Oliver.

Saftey. Imo probably Poyer. Makes more sense to give the 2 young guys extenstions. Oliver and Edmunds. Now I think both have to justify this year. I think Edmunds is closer to the Bills extending than Oliver is at this point.

Willis and Coral have arm talent. Those are likely the only Qbs going top 10 this year. Buffalo showed they prefer traits in rd 1. White, Allen, Edmunds, Oliver, Rouseau all have an elite trait. I expect the prospect they draft this year will aswell.

That is a lazer beam like Allens its likely a TD. The air under the ball allowed the extra time needed to make a play on the ball. It doesnt make any blanket statements about Jones success level. Simply, this time of year traits get downplayed by many looking at draft prospects. This video shows why things like arm strength can make a difference.

Every year I think Buffalo should take a day 3 olineman and db. This year maybe 2 olineman.

His arm were 2 inches longer he is unquestioned. With the connection to White I think he is in play. I used McCreary as an example because he has questions and maybe perceived as a reach. Give me the guy with Trex arms over Cam Lewis or Siran Neal at the end of the day.

Gotta say best way to get ready for the playoffs or season is the comeback. I also believe the perfect game will age like a fine wine.

Happy to see Buffalo as the chalk pick for the Superbowl. Is it the early 90’s?

I expect they have a plan. Obviously, a trade or an above minimum vet lessens the urgency for one. Perfect world they bring in a stop gap who can compete with Jackson and/or start for White until healthy. That allows Buffalo to let the draft fall how it may. I expect with Beane watching Wildgoose, and Anderson getting claimed he isnt as high on his late rders as he was going into last years draft. I see them being aggressive and depending how the next few weeks play out it will be clearer what positions they will be targeting.

If no one is brought in or White isnt announced to be ready for training camp I think you have to. Trade up for one or take a guy like McCreary. Cant be a Superbowl with a glaring hole on the roster at a premier position.

They made the playoffs. The starting Qb was Tyrod Taylor. #1 wr was Kelvin Benjamin.

Reason to like it. 1. Allen wants him here 2. Became instantly elite with Allen. 3. Only 28. Contract plays as a 2 year extension. Trap door out when he is 32/33 4. He loses a step will become an elite slot. 5. Creates cap space this season and next. The 120 over 6 is about as real as Vons 120 over 6. I am old enough to remember the aging out of the 90s Bills and catastrophic roster construction from that point to now. This regime is literally doing what most have complained about and wanted for 20 years. Now some are scared of the price tag? Dont worry, Pegula is getting more public money in recent history for a stadium. The fact he is dropping 120 close to 135 total mil in escrow for the signing bonuses and restructures is what a fans want.

Idk if he is worth 25 maybe Walker and something substantial would need to happen at Cb before I would like Buffalo to pass on a db even if its a perceived reach for a player like McCreary.

Depending on the money Im sure Beane will listen. I think if Buffalo signs a starting caliber cb, saftey is in play rd 1.

Its about you is willing to write the checks not write the contracts.

Are we all suppose to scroll past that Trevon is in the building? A pick and Endunds? A pick and poyer? Idk, just spit balling here.

With the Diggs news Idk if that makes it more likely or less they would trade up. Imo Cb is a spot on the roster Beane will add to. I think I can talk myself more into trading up now. Go get a guy. Go for it. F it.

So is a former defensive co ordinator Patricia calling plays? Former special teams coach Judge calling plays? Or is Bill adding that to the list of things he is doing mediocre?

His style of leadership is slowly fading his luster. What is he doing at OC? What is he doing at DC? What is their identity on offense? What is their identity on defense? Power running team? Dont bring back your Full back? Will not use a fullback going forward? Press aggressive man and manufacture a rush? Let both of your top 2 cbs walk without an answer. Seems like too much masterminding and not enough roster building and scheming around your players.

Its tough to look at the total number and correlate that to White. The average career length of NFL players is 3 years. How many were all pros already on there second contract. White is a different human than the majority of those on that list. Top of the top athletes heal different and react different than any of us. Heck, even guys that made it to the league. ACL is no longer career ending. If your a Wolverine like Adrian Peterson you come back in 6 months and have a career year.

I dont. Beane has done this every year. I think Buffalo is going to also sign a starting level Cb. The speculation is Gilmore. I now expect that Gilmore or a player of that caliber is brought in pre draft. At 25 however the draft falls you take whats there. Every position but Qb, K, and P are on the table. Best way to improve. Saftey, Rb, Lb, Dl would enter the conversation with Cb, Wr, and oline.
