That was a different team. They are the Titans now. The Texans were an expansion team in 1999.

Blue is too dark. Might as well just make it black. The numbers look weird. The shoulder stripes are silly. It's just change for the sake of change, which almost always turns out worse.

Paying a running back almost never works out these days.

I wouldn't be overly worried about Lewis, but I would prefer him as a backup for sure. Certainly would not want Hamlin as a starter. McDermott knows what he is doing with the secondary, though. That's a position group we should all be trusting him on. His track record is great.

I hope he goes somewhere and excels. He deserves it after the last couple of devastating years.

He is one of many free agent safeties that would be a great fit.

I do feel like our receivers tend to not make those incredible catches as much as other teams have. I think it is once or twice a game I see really amazing catches when I watch other teams. It's like once every few games for the Bills. I'm not really sure why. Maybe because of how hard Allen can throw it? Maybe because we don't have contested catch guys?

I'm sure it plays a role, but I don't think it is determined only by where they are from or how exposed they have been to playing in the cold. There are tons of guys from warm weather areas that have shown they can play at a high level in the cold. Some can't. This has to be one of the last things I would consider when evaluating a prospect, though. There are so many things that are so much more important than this. Unless the player is making comments about it, then you might want to stay away because it shows they are conceited and weak. The message you want to hear is, "I'll play anywhere. Cold, hot, rain, snow, whatever." If they are whining about the cold as draft prospects, that's a character concern.

Well, none of us know what his intention was before and now after the signings. But Beane likes to go into a draft without any positional emergencies, so he always fills holes as best he can in free agency, which allows him to target whatever players he wants in the draft. So, I think his strategy at WR is the take one if he likes the value and likes the player at the time the Bills are picking, or to trade up and grab one if he particularly likes that player. Maybe that is in round one. Maybe not. It's hard to have a set strategy anyways because you are contending with 31 other teams. You cannot predict what will happen with any level of certainty, so you have to be able to adapt and change plans.

Yeah, because all the best teams spend big in free agency.... Oh wait, no. It's the worst teams and the desperate teams that spend big in free agency.

You don't eat with your hands. You eat with your mouth.

Sign a guy or draft a guy. Running backs are not hard to find.

Marvin Harrison Jr. - LA Chargers Rome Odunze - Chicago Bears Ladd McConkey - Carolina Panthers Brian Thomas Jr. - Buffalo Bills Xavier Worthy - Kansas City Chiefs Bonus Bills pick - Brian Thomas Jr.

Yeah. Good QB's only seem to come around every few years.

Maybe the Steelers retain some of his salary, but it still seems like a dumb move to me. If the Bills made this exact move, we would all hate it. At least I would.

I also don't get it. Just sign a QB off the trash heap. I do not understand giving up a 4th rounder for a backup QB when you can sign one without giving up any draft picks.

Yeah, I'm not sure why so many have to kick dirt at him. He is a good guy and teams find him valuable in the QB room. He has carved out a nice niche for himself in the NFL.

I wish him luck. He can be an effective player if used correctly.

This is an odd reaction to the signing of Tim Settle, haha.

What??? This can't be. I was told that the Bills weren't doing anything else of note (after day 2 of free agency).

It's the 2nd day of free agency. The roster is nowhere near being set. Fans do this every year. There is no rush. Let it play out. More moves are coming. We'll have a better idea of what the roster will look like by training camp. That's how it works. Also, do you want to be one of the terrible teams spending big in free agency? The Panthers? The Raiders? The Bears? The Falcons? Those teams all suck. We don't want to be like them. Build through the draft. Sign value free agents. Once in awhile, go spend on a name you think will really help you, but that shouldn't be all the time.

Yes. We can get the next Sammy Watkins!

Dolphins desperate for information. They are going to be pumping Poyer and Neal for Bills secrets and game plan strategies.

He's been injured a lot lately, but he is good. He'd be perfect if there weren't such injury concerns. It will be interesting to see what he gets paid.
