Bills mulling what to do with Devin Singletary ….nope, don’t like that.

Same. Other than OBJ, that seems like it may drag on, D Hop is the only WR .. imo.. that would elicit a player feeling the need to tweet out a LAMP.

Quite the stretch to act like Mecole Hardman on the Bills is going to command more fear than Mecole Hardman on the Chiefs. I wouldn’t hate it, but that’s not at all equivalent to the level of tweet McKenzie hit send on.

Did they play together at UGA though?

I do think they would have re-signed Edmunds if the Bears didn’t back up the the Brinks truck. Makes one think there was access to, say, 8M on a backloaded contract. So far we’ve done some housekeeping and took on a 4M cap hit for McGovern.

I’m not expecting a huge splash signing, unless it’s OBJ. I dont think a trade is out of the question though.

Which is why the trade market exists.

I love how you find something wrong with every WR, yet get annoyed at the offense-first fan contingent for not wanting to spend more defensive $$$ on old LB’s or a broken down Safety that doesn’t even want to be here anymore. Yes, I’d much rather spend the money we have left of Hopkins or OBJ (not at 20M) .. or trade for Jerry Jeudy, who oozes potential and has never played with a guy like Josh Allen. God forbid we take a swing for our franchise QB…

So we go from rangy light coverage MLB to “downhill thumper”? … ok, random .. good thing we drafted Bernard last year, who is the opposite of that.

Or get Allen a legit weapon … not just hope at 27 or Braxton friggin Berrios. But I guess we can never spend enough on defense.

Why do we always talk this way about defense but not offense? We drafted Bernard in RD3 last year. Who’s our current slot WR?.. a RD5 rookie last year. Yet we must pay Wagner or David at the expense of getting Allen another weapon?

We could sign a WR 1B and make other moves if we trade Ed Oliver, extend Daquan Jones and/or cut McKenzie.

Why not? We get Von back at some point. Tre White now has a year under his belt post-injury. Hyde is back. Why should we be the ones that overpay for Poyer?

I'm going to lose my mind if we are tied to one more RB... And, no, I do not care how many dumpoffs Ekeler caught from Herbert.

Lamar getting absolutely crushed on NFL Network for the past 20 minutes

McDermott taking control of the Defense.. Hyde and White hopefully returning to form solidifying the back end.. I do think we could use another pass rush piece, but Dodson/Bernard should be guys we can get by next to an All-Pro LB given the potential talent around them.

AFCE meet AFCW Bills / Chiefs Jets / Chargers Dolphins / Broncos Patriots / Raiders Man up and be a better team for it. KC dominated that division once again last year, will probably do it again this year. If Beane makes smart decisions this off-season, no reason we shouldn't win the East again as well.

Yea... Poyer was a good soldier last year and got beat up/played through injury, but it took it's toll just as he starts showing his age. On the flipside, Buffalo helped make him who he is, and paid him more than he likely ever makes if he doesn't land in McDermott's Defense next to Micah Hyde. It was a win/win for both sides, but it's time to move on, and I'm sure he's frustrated that last year's tape is surely being used against him in negotiations.

I don't think I'm touching Dawkins or Diggs, but if I'm Beane I am absolutely doing the following: -Extend Daquan Jones. Good player. We have no DT's under contract for next year. -Trade Ed Oliver. Good player. Not worth 10M to us next year and we're not paying him if he blows up. -Cut McKenzie. We comitted to Hines. His role should be KR/PR/RB3/Gadget.. he takes over the McKenzie role in the offense.

McGovern is only a 4M cap hit this year. Matakevich is 1.6M. Not sure about Martin. Cam and Ike likely don't affect the cap much once we get to the top 51.

Well said. These obviously aren't the only moves we make, and even if they were.. Cook in Year 2 is a better RB than rookie Cook or Singletary. Hines with an off-season should theoretically become more integrated into the Offense. Re: McGovern, even if all he gives us good pass blocking and poor run blocking, that's a massive improvement over last year. Given he's reportedly a better RG than LG, we are able to give him that spot on our OL, which also moves Bates to LG... the position he feels more comfortable in. This one move has upgraded both LG and RG, while giving us two athletic 25 year olds on multi-year contracts. If we go RT at 27 and/or Brown makes a jump with a full, healthy off-season, this OL could become a strength.

No need to reach.. There will be LB's available in Rounds 2-4 of this Draft that can compete with Bernard. If MLB in this Defense is soooo important, then we need a new Defense. Absolute absurdity. Hyde, White, Elam, Johnson, Milano, Von, Rousseau, Jones. That's 8/11 spots on the Defense occupied by above average players or guys with above average potential. Help. Josh. Allen.

He's got to stop worrying about that. There are going to be weak spots on this team... if one of them happens to be LB next to All-Pro Milano, so be it.

I think there's some validity to the way teams rush Allen. We have one of the most athletic OL's in the NFL.. there's no reason every screen should end up as Allen spiking it into the dirt.

I'm definitely in Barkley as the PS vet presence and then draft a QB in the mid-late rounds to back up Allen. Someone like Duggan or Bennett would be fine by me. As long as we give Allen the OL and weapons we should, a rookie should be able to game manage us to a fighting chance if Allen had to miss a few games.
