The Saints need to cut like all their players to make the cap work. I think they will have a seriously tough time winning games next year. There is about to be a mass exodus of talent from that team. I'm sure everyone involved understands that it will take awhile to rebuild.

These are decent depth guys who will not be expensive. What is the point of going out and replacing them with similar caliber players or wasting draft picks to fill the roster with these types? They know the system, they are good depth, and they likely won't be expensive.

I'd try to re-sign the following: Ike Boettger Harrison Phillips Levi Wallace (but he might be too expensive) Justin Zimmer Efe Obada (If he is really cheap) And I would put a 2nd round tender on Ryan Bates.

It's obvious now why they fired him. There was real friction between Flores and the Dolphins owner, about tanking and about personell choices. I think Flores would have gotten one of the jobs without his lawsuit.

My thoughts are we need to see who we get in free agency / trades before we know what the Bills need in the draft. However, I would not be opposed to a highly drafted cornerback with elite physical traits. There's a lot of speculation on what actually happened in this post. Any sources to back this up? You hate the team? This is the best team we have had in decades.

I guess McCown wants to watch his boys play high school football another season. He'll be ready and all in next year!

I completely disagree that Poyer's play fell off this year. I think this has been his best year as a Bill. I agree with most everything else, though. Nice job. I could see moving on from Wallace because I think he is about to get paid. He is a consistent starter since coming in the league on one of the top passing defenses, and he just had his best season as a pro filling in many games for Tre White as the #1 corner. There are other teams with far greater need at corner than the Bills who will shell out some money for him.

Are they still Facebook friends? I need to know...

Watkins had years of injury concerns already, though. And he later admitted to having to mature and become a better team player after he left the Bills. I guess we don't know if Toney has any character concerns, but it is pretty tough to label him injury prone after one season.

Is laughing at a mediocre QB struggling in a skills challenge being triggered?

Are black people happy about this, or are they questioning it? This is an honest question. I really am curious.

I can only think of a couple of posters that have that opinion, but they do post about it dozens of times a day, so it probably looks like more people share that opinion. They don't understand the hit rate for draft picks. Beane has done a nice job. Lots of hits, some misses.

I don't see the relevance of a season from nearly a decade ago. Living in the past?

I think his floor is 7, personally. Someone is going to pay him. There are some teams with a lot of cap space this year. Last year with the lowered cap there was not a lot of money to go around. There's always a chance he takes a discount to stay in Buffalo.

He is absolutely worth that much. He had a great year. Last year was not indicative of anything because of the lowered cap. A lot of guys re-signed with their teams for the security and because there was not much money to go around. Levi Wallace is a decent #2 cornerback. If the Bills don't pay him someone else will.

The Pro Bowl week is just for the players to get together and have some fun. I have no problem with it. The skills challenges and games are fun to watch. Although, I bet they are wishing the game was still in Hawaii. There's nothing wrong with the pro bowl unless you take it too seriously.

How the heck did Mac Jones get chosen for the Pro Bowl? Did 10 other AFC QB's opt out?

This would be the oddest hire in the last 20 years, at least. He has no credentials. This is incredible.

That game was painful for Bills fans, but it opened up the eyes for the rest of the nation. Nobody is sleeping on the Bills anymore (except Bills fans, of course).

Do you ever get bored of being so wrong about everything?

Yeah, but he was running Roman's system since Roman started as our offensive coordinator that year. So yeah, I guess he has limited play calling experience.

Does he have play calling experience? I don't think he has been a coordinator before. That is partly why I thought it was crazy that anyone made him a head coach. He basically went from a Running Backs coach to a head coach. I think that was a disservice to him, honestly. He was not ready to be a head coach.

So you are speculating that he would not have torn his shoulder if he had not accumulated hits in previous games? I think that is impossible to determine.

Do we really know this? Andy Reid calls the plays. It is his offense. I think that is what is hurting Bienemy's chances at a head coaching position. Nobody knows if he will be good outside of Reid's offense.

The draft does not stop NBA or NHL teams from tanking. They still do it. And tanking is actually effective in those leagues because you only have a few guys on the court / ice at once, so one superstar player can really change your team. In football, only the QB position can change your team like that, and then you still need good coaches and play calling, an oline to protect him, and at least decent weapons to get the ball to. And even if you have all those things, you need a defense good enough to not screw you over constantly (like the Saints for a few years who sucked and missed the playoffs even with prime Drew Brees on their team). The Browns and the Jets have sucked for years and have had so many first round picks and have still not been able to turn around their teams. The Browns did make the playoffs a couple years ago, so I'd say they have elevated themselves to an average to above average team, but it took so many years of bad football. Their issue wasn't talent as much as competent coaching, management, and development of players. Plus the QB position.
