I have the highest confidence I have had in years in regards to the HC/GM/Front Office situation. It seems they have a direction and every move is in an attempt to go in that direction. I may not agree with every move (was a fan of Watkins, thought he could be a real gem if we ever had a QB), but at least I can hang my hat on them focusing on a direction of the franchise and building towards it.
I agree with picking up Tyrod's option and trying to trade him. They did an excellent job last off-season signing him to this team friendly contract, puts the Bills in the driver seat. I think a team with a strong D would be wise & have interest in trading for him (specifically Denver and maybe JAX). I would guess a 3rd or 4th could be had.
I am expecting the Bills to be very active this offseason. I could see Beane executing a few more trades (think J Hughes is on borrowed time, Glenn, maybe Lawson) and also expect a few draft day trades (gut feeling they package picks and move up for their franchise QB or McDermont's stud MLB). I think they also will be very active in Free Agency. They unloaded a ton of $ last offseason and have some flexibility to spend on "McDermont" guys.
I like the outlook and am excited for offseason.... but first lets Squish the Fish!
