SCBills

Knox seeing we didn’t exercise the full restructure

“Bills passed me around the locker room” If you’ve been on Twitter reading comments under any transaction, you can probably find them there.

When people ask me why I’ve become a conspiracy theorist..

Numbers may confirm or change my opinion, but I’m glad we’re staying young and not spending heavy on an aging pass rusher. Von, Rousseau, AJE, KJ is a room we can roll with if we spend/draft elsewhere.

I would. He completely fell off towards the end of the season.

The talk on WGR has shifted heavily to big trade based on Sal bringing it up earlier. I don’t think it’s based on anything other than vibes, lack of WR2, aggressive clearing of cap space and Beane’s tendencies.. but I think the need for elite pieces vs solid depth is gaining some traction.. at least in terms of a growing sense of what the Bills may be missing as we keep coming up short.

I mean yea, I guess. For a team that invests in it .. I hate their WR room so much.

I’m sure Giants fans are being super rational about losing Barkley and signing another ex-Bill.

Agree with all the cuts. Impressed with the renegotiations. Fine with the Dawkins extension. Cam Lewis/Taylor Rapp, indifferent. Think we need to find a way to get another elite player here, but see that both unlikely to happen due to other teams making that available and/or us sacrificing depth/rotations to actually do it.

I like Joe Marino a lot, but I hate his roster construction views. Unfortunately he's pretty accurate in how we seem to approach roster building. It's good if you want a strong team that makes the playoffs and is a contender each year. Aside from the Von move that blew up in our face, it's too reliant on good-not great players and depth vs trusting draft picks & UDFA's to have more high end guys. It's VERY clear we need more high end guys.

Wilkins & Crosby is not fun to face 2x a year. Not sure the Raiders will be any good, but at least Mahomes has that to deal with.

Honestly, perfect landing spot. Lawrence throws deep a lot.

Congrats to Gabe.. good dude. That said.. I laughed…

Not for nothing, but Rasul Douglas hasn't even been here a year and tweets more cryptic stuff than Diggs entire career here lol.

Lol.. I kinda love that this random 1.75M Cardinals signing is the only one singled out on the board.

For me, it's not so much Van Demark, although he seems to have a lot of potential.. it's Kromer. I trust whatever he decides. Get him a player for a year, and they typically ball out Year 2 in his system and beyond.

This is wild. I can't believe they did it. I'm not necessarily against it, depending on what the plan is, but man.. this is a pretty emotional off-season. On a human level, sad to see some of this, even if it may be necessary to make the jump to where we need to be.

Yea, someone like Dawson Knox does seem like he'd be willing to just take less to stay with Josh Allen and this organization. He's been through a lot in his personal life and it seems like he respects how the team/community rallied around him. If you ever hear him talk, money never comes across as a massive factor. Faith & Family seem to be his driving factors.

I think elite also applies to positional value. Milano, when healthy, is elite at LB... but I mean.. ok.. he's a linebacker. Chiefs are currently elite at QB, TE, DT and CB. And while TE typically isn't it, when you have an All-Time great, it's a bit different.

Teams are more willing to eat dead cap nowadays and the Bills could've cut Von post 6/1. Or maybe Von wants to be a GM and respects Beane enough with the shadowing he's done of him to agree to this, knowing his future aspirations. Knox, not sure about his situation because we haven't seen the details yet.

I'm pretty sure we did this with Mitch Morse a few years back. I don't think there's ever been a concern amongst players about Brandon Beane not being someone they respect with communication/negotiation etc.

TBH, I actually trust Kromer so much that I'd just assume Van Demark is going to legit. If we, and I don't think we are, cut/trade Dawkins.. I'd have to imagine a big move is coming to help Josh Allen.

Tired: Restructure Wired: Reworked & Renegotiated

I'd actually be willing to throw a big contract at him, but in order to beat out an NFC or non-rival AFC team, we'd likely have to beat the trade compensation...by a lot. I know we have a lot of holes, but we need to close the gap between the 3 superstars (4 if they don't trade Snead) KC has to our 1... and while that's highly doubtful the route we'd take as Beane loves having depth, I'd begin to think about sacrificing that for high end players and then fill in with Day 3's and UDFA's as depth.

Gabe Davis has got to have the most elite highlight film for a WR3 of all time.
