Statistically? Nope. Also don’t care. Looking forward to Beane, hopefully using that earmarked Edmunds money to help Josh Allen. Also hoping we trade Oliver to better allocate his 10M. That still leaves enough talent to be a middle of the pack Defense (assuming McDermott earns his keep as a Defensive HC) and then when Von gets back in the swing of things, we have our big playmaker in the post season.

McGovern is 4M. Matakevich about 2M. Martin probably around 2M. Lewis likely minimal. If that’s what Poyer wants, then yea, he won’t be here. Given the league signed a ton of defensive guys today, and he wasn’t one of them, have to imagine his price is coming down.

They, of course, do… that said, the playoffs are what matter and it’s been painfully obvious that the defense was constantly overrated and/or not able to perform when it matters. Also, for all the regular season success, how many 1 seeds? The defense, for all it’s investment, let us down. Im glad we seem to be turning the page on that group.

Yup. And Matakevich is around 1.9M. Cam Lewis is probably peanuts. Not sure about Sam Martin’s cap hit.

Could absolutely do that. Poyer would only be back on a team friendly deal. David won’t be a bank breaker at his age. Jeudy is on a rookie contract. Backload the OL cap hit.

Maybe a Day 2 pick.. Young All Pro LB on a solid multi-year contract.

Sounds to me like the Broncos need a DT to replace Jones.

Bills could have easily traded Milano for a decent pick and then paid Edmunds. I think they just value Milano more.

Would love to see this. Good player. Could use the money this year and we have zero DT’s under contract for next year. Id actually be surprised if this didn’t happen.

Trading for Dalvin Cook would be trolling of the fanbase by Beane. It has to be. We need a WR How about James Cook? We need a WR How about Nyheim Hines? We need a WR How about Dalvin Cook? …

Don’t think this is really “for” anyone. These two moves were always baked into the cake for ‘23. Now with Edmunds moving on, I think the Bills have 1-2 big moves coming that we otherwise couldn’t have done. If we restructure anyone else, cut someone or trade Oliver… then I’ll start to throw the eye emoji around.

McGovern is better in pass pro

Im going to go ahead and say I doubt this is true. I mean, it is, but not in a way that’s applicable to the guy we signed.

Every time this thread gets bumped I’m hoping to see a link when I open it.

We didn’t keep Edmunds. If I had to guess … there was, most assuredly, a good chunk of change slotted to the hope we could keep him on a discount. That money now becomes live.

Praise Jesus 🙌🏼 Good player, not great. Time to re-allocate that money.

As we stand, the Bills have two young athletic Guards with an average floor and potential to be good, probably not great. They have a stud Center, who is likely year to year. They have an average to above average LT, and a raw, athletic freak at RT who is below average but with potential through the roof. On paper.. this OL, as is, could be meh or it could be really good if the potential of Bates, McGovern and Brown are all realized. I think the faith of a lot of us has been rocked this past year, but the components of a freakishly athletic and pretty talented OL are now in place IF the coaching staff can develop them in our scheme.

Like I said, let’s see how this plays out. Everyone assumed that’s what they’re doing.. but they’ve apparently indicated they are still in on Orlando Brown or exploring a Laremy Tunsil trade.

Not gonna lie.. signing McGovern doesn’t exactly hit when the Chiefs are dropping 20M per on a Tackle and signaling they may not be done. Oh well… let’s see how this plays out.

Chiefs still not ruling out retaining Orlando Brown, also exploring Laremy Tunsil. This being reported after the Taylor signing.

Yup.. Bills have a serviceable, with potential, starting OL with Boettger and Doyle as depth, if no other moves are made before the draft. At the very least, at least this time they signed a younger RG (Bates can play LG now) who’s good at pass pro, suspect at run blocking … as opposed to an older LG (forces Bates to RG) who’s supposed to be a good run blocker, suspect at pass pro. I much prefer this approach.

Also reading he is better on the right side?... which would then allow us to move Bates back over the left side.

Interesting.. run game, we shall see.. but this does fit with Beane saying he needs to protect Allen. Morse/McGovern both top tier pass pro interior linemen.

Eagles went for it and didn't win the Super Bowl. This was always going to be their off-season, even with Hurts on a rookie contract.

No perfect options though. OBJ off two ACL's. D-Hop, getting older and a bunch of random nonsense. No guarantee a WR we like makes it to 27. Jeudy is available for a reason. Gabe Davis can be sent back or moved to recoup a pick.. he's not without his ankle issues and inconsistency. Jeudy gives us that elite WR2 opposite Diggs, that teams 100% have to fear. He also has WR1 potential for the future. This just makes so much sense for Buffalo, imo.
