Who knows what happens, but I've been all about Moore all off-season. His skill set is tailor-made for what we do offensively. It's extremely early, but it's a good sign that he is making plays.

The franchises are friendly for whatever reason. Bears-Bills have made multiple trades the last couple of years.

How much will we hear about James Cook being unhappy during this?
I don't think we see a lot of him. He is lacking in the personality part of things. It's not good TV.

Cool.
The UDFA they obsess over is probably center Jacob Bayer with the mullet.
Probably a bunch of stuff about Ray Davis’ difficult upbringing.
Dion will steal the show and Bobby Babich will be good TV as well.

Douglas is confusing to me - i had heard the Bills did offer him a contract at what they thought was reasonable to the degree that he can compete for a backup job but was told they want to go another direction as a starter. perhaps that was enoguh for both sides not to actually extend the offer but douglas has been tagged by teammates to come back and given credit for addign to the team. with white being back i think it is less likely.
Johnson, Smooth, Phillips Jefferson will get a chance on a roster at some point in training camp as injuries happen. teams don't need to bring in those guys because there is already tape to grade. all 4 could be depth rotation guys on a shallow roster or just join PS to stay in the league.
Miller doesn't have to sign anywhere but will stay in the league and market himself as some mentor to keep his name famous.
back to Coop - some team will sign him to try to tap the last potential from him. a team maybe light at WR (Carolina, New England). Many teams are just as weak at WR as we are.
I think the Douglas ship has certainly sailed, between White and Jackson signing plus Hairston and Strong. Not to mention they gave his number to Hairston. I liked Douglas, but I feel like he was just terrible this year, and getting younger and more athletic at the position was the way to go. Now if we wind up with Dane Jackson starting corner, I will be extremely disappointed.
I agree on those DL guys will get a shot at some point with teams, especially Smoot and Jefferson. Phillips is tricky because he has pretty much proven he can only play in Buffalo.
Cooper thing is interesting, but with how Beane values draft picks, to give up a third and not even attempt to bring the guy back it certainly feels like they think he is done.
Miller should sit out most of the year and then sign with a contender late as a hired gun as a designated pass rusher.

I appreciate what Q brought to the Bills but I also believe this kid Hawes is going to be an excellent addition to the roster. If he is as good a blocker as advertised, he allows the Bills to nix the 6-OL formation and have a guy in there who can actually catch the ball as well. Q was just a ST guy and occasional red zone presence.
Agreed. Having a real receiver in that spot adds a ton to what you can do offensively in those heavy formations.

Not to whistle past the graveyard but this feels like a mistake for Baltimore... Giving a big contract to a 30+ year old RB is pretty risky.
Very tricky evaluation with him. It's tough because if Baltimore gets behind in a game he essentially becomes a non-factor, but he is still elite at what he provides.

The way the Safety position was handled at large? Awful. They went into last year with one guy who is a quality back up (Rapp) as the clear best starter in the room and then drafted Bishop who basically plays the same role, signed Edwards for the sake of spending money I guess, but again wanting a back up as a potential contributor and left camp with Rapp and Hamlin, who isn’t even quality depth as the starters. It was worse than assuming Gabe Davis was your #2 and having nobody else on the roster below him at WR they pulled the year before.
They backed themselves into a corner with the safety spot. I think they wanted Edwards or Bishop to start with Rapp and knew they were better than Damar, and they both got hurt in training camp and then they just couldn't justify playing them over Hamlin. And that is why keeping those guys around is a bad thing. To cut or bench a very popular teammate/player in Hamlin to play a guy like Edwards, who had done nothing to earn the spot, borders on losing the locker room. Please get rid of the feel-good stories in the offseason and then you won't feel the pressure to play them. There is no galaxy where Hamlin is a better player than Mike Edwards. And after all that, Hamlin is still around because no one was interested in free agency. I hope the front office has the courage to move on from him so they don't feel forced to play him. I respect all that he has been through, but he is one of the worst safeties in the NFL and isn't good functional depth because people like him so much they feel the need to play him. Move on from the solid good guys who are terrible athletes at the bottom of the roster and replace them with younger, faster, cheaper. It's nothing personal, he just isn't good.
But anyway, how about that Casey Rogers guy?

As I watched Sanders get up from this drill, I thought, man he's a big dude! Then Walker comes into frame and makes him look small.
Kinda interesting that Marcus West the DL coach is not working with those guys. Maybe he is working with the ends. -
He plays the penetrating style of defense the Bills want. He sacks Drake Maye and Shaduer in the video and stops Maye on Qb sneak. Who knows?-

I do like the single digits on wr and secondary guys and I noticed that teams are starting to give kickers and punters terrible numbers. Bass's 2 would look much better on someone else. So would Shane Buechele's 6.
I love LBs in the 50s and DL in the 90s

This guy. They already have a great rapport and he can help Josh with his mechanics.
-
Because of the Hoecht thing I would not mind him as a hired gun for six weeks on a minimum salary.
But I am curious how much longer they will wait before they sign Shaq Thompson as a depth linebacker. You know they want to.

It’s certainly possible.
I was kind of assuming a discount with those ballpark numbers.
Edwards has made no money his whole career. He was signed and extended for backup OG money after being a day 3 pick. He’s 28, which means this could be his only payday. I think he’s supremely underrated as a very consistent IOL guy.
Getting him at 3y $7M AAV would be a steal. I bet he gets closer to $10M imo.
I think Edwards is a super interesting case where fit and comfort may play a huge part in his thinking process.
First, his work with Aaron Kromer has to be important. At the beginning of his career under Kromer, Edwards looked like Torrence does now, one of the best young guards in the NFL who was about to cash in. Kromer left, and Edwards's play fell off. Now, he is back to top form under Kromer again.
In LA, for whatever reason, he dealt with injuries and, similar to Mitch Morse had a concussion that ended his season and looked like it could end his career. Here, he has had no issues at all with that. So maybe it's the trainers and staff, or the techniques that Kromer teaches, but he has been able to avoid head injuries.
To me, I am not sure the huge pay day is worth leaving a place that has provided Edwards with so much stability. Additionally, Kromer is unique in his teaching, which isn't replicated around the NFL. I think Edwards is a more likely sign than Connor McGovern or Torrence.

He signed with the Packers, so never made it to our minicamp.
But this topic will live on in infamy in the interwebs.Wonder if we invite another QB to get through rookie camp…

Couple of my opinions…
I do believe the idea that Beane loves Gabe.
Gabe is way better than Hollins.
In an everyone eats offense in which route running, spacing, and precision is key, Gabe is an awful fit. In this case Moore is the right move.
Despite that, Gabe could help as a deep threat. Also, he should sign with the Giants.
-
I wouldn’t worry about it. He’s been hurt pretty much both seasons. I’d like to see what he can do with a healthy one. It’s hard to tell if he’s at the same weight or lighter. This feels like the overreaction to Dion Dawkins massive manboobs last year. Yeah he looked sloppy but it doesn’t affect his play on the field. Kincaid, I hope, will be fine.
-
I think Michael Hoecht is going to crush it when he comes off the suspension. With Bosa and Landon Jackson and such I kind of almost forgot about him. He will be all over the field making plays and will be a shot in the arm for the team. He should be fresh and hungry with something to prove.

Yeah @MrEpsYtown is one of our best posters but he has it backward. Poking holes implies that something looks like it will be great but obscure reasons are being made why it won't. Moore was horrendous last year and has never been good. He's more holes than whole.
You are spot on that the guys that have worked out had proven their ability elsewhere. Good receivers can put up stats wherever they are. In many cases the stats are even better when they are one of the top targets and the QB doesn't see the field well because they get force-fed the ball. Jerry Jeudy had a breakout year with that bad Browns QB situation. Moore should have done the same but there is no putting lipstick on that pig of a season he just had. His traditional bulk stats were terrible for a 100 target guy and his advanced stats were even worse.
We can hope that he learns how to play WR. That's where we should be with this signing.
I appreciate the kind words. I suppose I land on the side of upside. I think if Moore can’t produce with Allen then his career is likely cooked, but I feel there is still upside there. If they had given Moore the Josh Palmer contract I would have lost it. But to me, all one year deals are no risk propositions. And I do like Moore better than anyone we could have drafted but I think Jeudy is just better. You hope that Royals or Horton have a year like Moore did last year. I think it is ok to like the signing but also keep hopes in line with what is reasonable.-

Remember.. Armari Cooper came from same GARBAGE QB from a bad system. did he have a couple drops? yes..
This Article explains why I feel you are wrong kind sir. We do not know how good he really is tier wise cause he came from the freaking Jets and Cleveland.
Its funny how Bills Fans are so low on this guy and Media actually like him..
People are still mad the Bills didn’t draft the receiver they wanted. Poke holes in Moore, yet Moore is more interesting than pretty much everyone in the draft not named Golden.
