Trujillo gone. I wonder if they bring in competition for Bass. -
Dude makes plays in a rotational role. Exactly want you want. Great motor. Some rush talent and good against the run.

There are rumors that Rob Brzezinski could be elevated to President of Football Operations, with Terrance Gray (or someone else) being named General Manager. If that were to happen, the Bills would not be eligible to receive draft pick compensation, because Gray would not be considered the primary football official in the Vikings organization.
This is similar to what recently happened with the Bears. Their AGM, Ian Cunningham, was hired away by the Falcons, but Chicago did not receive draft pick compensation because Matt Ryan, not Cunningham, is considered the Falcons' primary football official. The Bears appealed the NFL’s original decision, but the appeal was denied as well.
Seems like the kind of work around the NFL should try to shut down. It’s kind of a weird look but I get it. It’s not like the hiring team is losing picks. -
This was an excellent episode. Really good breakdown and some cool insights from Groot

Interesting to see where this goes. Obviously it’s a long shot, but at the end of the day Burton needs to beat out Sherfield and Hardman, and to me that is very doable….assuming Shavers is PUPed. If his head is on straight, Burton is so much better than those guys. The special teams piece will be a big part of it, but Burton has a shot.

Hate to see Gray go if he does, but this type of stuff is the sign of a healthy franchise, that people are plucking your people. It’s a good thing. The picks are a nice bonus.
If the Bills win the Super Bowl, Jim Leonhard is probably gonna get a head job. It is what it is, and just good stuff.

Wanted to talk these ILBers:
Jayden Falkner 6-3 240
4.60 40
7.28 3-cone
4.50 shuttle
Not a bad athletic profile for a guy his size.
Theron Gaines 5-10 226
4.63 40
7.50 3-cone
4.55 shuttle
slight tick down on the athletic profile, also much smaller.
I think either, if not both, should be able to push Jenkins off the practice squad and maybe Ciarlo, but I do think Ciarlo has ILB experience.
I think they really like Jenkins and he has flashed when he played. He looked very good in pre-season. I think he is higher on the depth chart than Carlo. Jenkins needs to put on like 20lbs of muscle. Flaker is interesting but I think Jenkins is LB 5 right now, with a chance to make the roster if they don’t add anyone and keep 5. -
Not that it matters but he was talked about a lot.

What’s wrong with Bobby Okereke? Like did his play fall off that badly that no one is interested? 29 going on 30 so he’s not like totally over the hill.

I think Corbett is so far away better than Anderson on multiple levels. Experience, athleticism, etc. Corbett’s floor is what you hope Anderson develops into. So I think, if Corbett is healthy, it’s his job to lose. If not healthy, I think it comes down to Anderson/Bowry. I still think Nick Broeker is interesting depth as well.
Obviously they like Anderson, and I do too. I just don’t think he is an NFL starting caliber player who will be able to sustain for the grind of the season. He’s the perfect 6th man. But happy to be wrong.

We could go complete youth at ST with an UDFA LS with Maddux Trujillo and Dorman at P or full veterans only with Bass, Wishnowsky and Ferguson.
I would guess that Dorman has the best shot at making the 53.
Definitely a good way to save money -
He’s a fullback turned linebacker turned fullback. Super athletic special teams value. Coming off a pretty serious injury.

I mean, maybe I’m wrong, but if Brady knows this kid well and wants to give him a shot, I don’t see what the problem is. We don’t know anything. We are just fans. And if Brady believes in the guy, sure we can question it, but there is no risk here.
I suppose the only risk is he does everything right for the next six months, earns a roster spot and then goes AWOL again and you lose whoever you cut to keep him, like a Slay/Ingram situation, which would be the worst case scenario. That’s really the only risk. He isn’t going to destroy the locker room or team camaraderie or any of that. But I don’t think this tryout comes with risk. JMO.

When is the rookie mini camp/Burton tryout?

With the news that the Lions rejected Jack Campbell’s fifth year option, as good as he is, again, you just can’t draft an inside linebacker in the first round. The option would have been 22 million, which would make him the highest paid Off ball linebacker in the league right above Fred Warner. So now they have to work out an extension, and that’s going to be the number his agent is probably going to want to start from. It can get messy. I’m sure he will be back there, but it isn’t a guarantee now.

Especially with the new stadium, and all the money involved I am not surprised to see uncharacteristic moves from the team. The Keon Coleman situation still feels a little bit awkward, though I have no direct insight into where things stand. It feels like between Shavers and Keon, we need one of these taller (6'4) receivers to play a bigger role. I'd like to see an additional flyer on this type of receiver.
The only real size out there right now is Josh Reynolds who was with the Broncos in 2024, and Tim Patrick who was with them in 2023…so would be familiar with the scheme. The other guy you could take a cheap flyer on is Bryce Ford Wheaton who is coming of an Achilles. Just looking at what left in free agency, those are the “big” guys. I guess the other would be KhaDarel Hodge who is a stud special teams guy. -

Yeah it's because Parker's skill set is redundant to what we already have on the roster. So fans get disappointed when the pick doesn't fill a perceived need. But I did say before the draft I want Beane to truly stick to his board and pick BPA rather than reach for needs. If Parker was his BPA then it was the right pick regardless of the skill set. And now we wait to see if Beane's evaluation was correct.
What is interesting is that Parker’s testing numbers were right in line with Cashius Howell in terms of the 40 and 10-20 yard splits and he had a better vert. So really who is the more bursty guy? And with Parker you have no question on size and length and all that. Parker has the first step quickness and burst with all the power and hand play. He's not a 1 trick pony.
He just wasn’t on anyone’s list because the Bills kept their interest secret. We are gonna look back on this thread the same way we did on Deone Walker, the pick people hated last year, and who quickly won everyone over and wound up being our best pick last year. I think Parker is the real deal.

Apparently he started dabbling in punt returns at the end with the Bengals.

What happened is as the talent declined on the backend it was harder to execute some of that disguise and at times they dialled some of it back.
Yeah so Hyde and Poyer were so smart and interchangeable that they were able to make that happen. It feel like, once they were no longer top dawgs we lost the ability to disguise and all that. Had to dumb it down for the replacements.
And I think that is part of the fatal flaw here with the guy. When you need a certain types of player at each position with specific measurables and all that, it’s impossible to maintain. What are the chances you able find two smart safeties, former corners for cheap prices, who have the intelligence and experience and athleticism to run your complicated scheme? So when they went out the door they had to dumb it down and it became easy to attack. That just isn’t sustainable and likely why I don’t think he will have much success in his next go around. He won’t have Josh and he won’t have those two all world safeties.

even if I give you Burton, Keon and the rookie stepping up you are putting Palmer at 6, not 7And what are the odds that all 3 plus someone else step up?
I get your point, but you got carried away, nick. Hopefully they all show out.
