I hope this is just limited to Higgins in the first. In a historically deep WR draft, it would be criminal for them to neglect to add a solid prospect through the draft. Diggs shouldn’t be all they do.

I’d like to see another pass rusher addition. Maybe an underachiever like Beasley. Or someone like Dante Fowler. Ideally someone that would come a little cheaper and definitely younger than what we have. Not sure that’s possible with some of these contracts flying around. Can’t wait to see what Clowney gets.

Tanking for Trevor?

I’m not saying Beane and McD don’t get this concept. But, they haven’t shown the urgency I’d like to see with aggressively adding offensive weapons to take advantage of this window (and no, I’m not just talking about the past 2 hours the tampering window is open). I’m not saying they haven’t tried or aren’t trying, but eventually you’ve got to take a shot while Josh is cheap.
So glad this aged poorly. ?

Finally. Taking a shot on a stud offensive weapon. Love being aggressive and going and getting a weapon for Josh. As others have said, we weren’t getting anything near Diggs at 22.

I can see it now. Baker struggles and then Baker gets hurt, Keenum comes in and looks good and the team wins with him.
I think the Bills might draft a prospect or look for an upgrade. The Barkley hate is a little confusing to me. Barkley started one game last year and that was with most of the second team going against the first team Jets, in the rain. Barkley isn’t great, but he didn’t look bad in 2018 playing with starters and prepared.
Jalen Hurts? Wouldn’t hate it.

Two model franchises. ?

Gase is a complete douche. Why would anyone want to play there? They absolutely should have to pay a Jets tax. Proximity to NYC isn’t enough.

Dolphins improving that defense. Not sure how much each of those players moves the needle, as their D was awful last year, but it can’t hurt. Glad Van Noy is off the cheats.

To be fair, they almost landed AB before he went completely nuts last year. And we really don't know what they've been trying to do since. Time will tell if they get it done, but it's not fair to say they haven't been trying.
Agreed. We don’t know what wasn’t reported/public. I’m just saying I would’ve liked them to make it happen. It didn’t, so we are only left to wonder what might’ve been.

Not accusatory here or anything, just genuinely curious. Can you share some other trades for offensive weapons that occurred that you'd have liked to see Beane and co. pursue?
Fair question. Of course, hindsight is tough to battle since we already know how it worked out, but (just 2019) at the time I would’ve liked them to be in on:
- Desean Jackson;
- OBJ;
- Kenny Stills;
- Emanuel Sanders; or
- the 2019 Draft.
You can’t solve everything in one offseason and there are other factors at play with some of these guys, but any one of these moves would’ve improved our offense.

That move on that Pittsburgh run was incredible. The new cut on a dime.

You nailed it. Certain members of this board seem to think, and cant be told otherwise, the Bills are going to be in on Cooper, Hooper, Ngakoue, Clowney and any other big name free agent. After they pay White, Dawkins, Poyer and Milano, then stash the ten million Beane usually does for in season moves they may have 25-30 million left for all of their free agents. They arent looking to pay someone not already in their building 20 million per season. Going to be alot of disappointment here in a few weeks.
Go back and re-read my post. Never once suggested that we be in on all those players. Nor did I say I wanted Williams. Mike’s post suggested some sort of character flaw/anti process. I disagree.
On the flip side, too many people on this board are acting like we are only $10-20 million under the cap. It’s that Buffalo Bills fan fear bunkering. The Bills have players they need to extend. Core guys. We get it. But no matter what Beane and co tell you publicly, they know this is the year they’ve been planning for to make some noise. They have to make moves to improve this team while the cheap QB contract window is open. Will they be reckless and get every top guy? Absolutely not. But just extending current players we have won’t cut it. They know that.

We could always just grab Daryl Williams to play RT and slide Ford over to guard. He was all the rage here last year if I recall correctly. He’s not the same talent as Trent Williams, but he’s a free agent (keep our draft picks), he’s only 27, may not cost as much $, already plays RT, and Beane and McD know what kind of person and player he is having been with him in Carolina.

I'd rather add a rookie and not pay Gordon. I think you can get a good complementary back day 2 or 3. Fella like Dobbins may slip to the third round, for example.
Agree 100%. Stay far far away from high priced RBs in free agency. Don’t care who it is. You can find serviceable value and production in the draft.

So your going to pay top dollar to him and now its Dawkins turn. Everybody looks at that big cap money and think it never ends. White is going to be first in line. Throw in Milano, Dawkins and then Josh Poof gone.
I never said I wanted him. I just said I think he’d fit in fine here culturally. He’s an aging tackle who missed an entire year of football. He’s got a larger cap number, and I don’t think he’d want to play right tackle. Personally, second to edge rusher, I wouldn’t mind grabbing our right tackle in the draft at 22. Unless one of the top dogs fall, I think we can wait until round 2 for receiver.

Not a process guy. not happening
Maybe you can debate whether he handled the situation appropriately, but saying he wouldn’t fit in culturally here is a bit presumptive. The guy had a legitimate beef with how they handled his medical situation. Yeah, I’m sure he wants a re-worked contract too, but to say he’s not process enough for the Bills is a little unfair. The guy kept his mouth shut and played for a mediocre to awful team for most of his career. I think he’d fit in fine here. I’m just not sure he’d want to play right tackle.

Oh he’s definitely been nicked up a whole bunch. For context, for 2013-2019 his snap count % has been: 92, 97, 66, 97, 37, 80, 75.Ah. Ok. Makes sense. Thanks!
I went to look too to see if I was imagining his injury history. I know this isn’t comprehensive, but here’s an article that explains his injuries in 2017 and 2018. Of course we already know some of his struggles this past season. Peters was a great player in his day, but at this point I think we can/should do better.

Not for nothing, but since his lost season in 2012, he’s started 16, 16, 14, 16, 7, 16, and 13 games. Always injured is an overstatement.Maybe so, but what is this board without hyperbole?
I feel like every time I’ve watched an eagles game the last few years they’ve talked about how Peters is hurt. You’ve provided how many times he’s started, but how many of those starts did he finish? Maybe that accounts for my perception.

I know it's doubtful we pursue him , just interesting. The NFL landscape is going to look alot different for a bunch of teams in 2020
Peters can go fly a kite. Always injured, and I’m still salty about how his previous time here ended. That isn’t all on Peters, but I’d prefer not to think about how we developed an all pro and eventual hall of Fame tackle and let him out the door over a contract dispute. Thankfully we got some decent years out of Eric Wood in return, but he’s no Peters talent-wise.

Who would be dumb enough to take him on with his salary and injury risk? Boy do I hope that’s not us.
