I like Bridgewater a lot, but I think if you sign him, you are signing the quarterback of the present and future. He is still really young, so he could be your guy for the next ten years. IMO, if you draft him, you punt on this year's draft class. If Bridgewater gets hurt again, you are looking to teh draft next year. He is going to go to whichever team is going to make him teh guy. I do not think that the Bills will do that. I could see someone like Arizona or the Jets making that type of move.

I think the two guys with brass balls are Rosen and Mayfield.

While I agree, I do think we are in a good position to use him to trade up for a franchise quarterback. I like Glenn, but if he could help us jump up the draft board we need to do it. The Giants Broncos, and Colts have huge needs along the offensive line. A franchise quarterback trumps all.

Agreed. Looking at the numbers, I think an early off season trade makes the most sense. I think he will have trade value for a team like the Giants or Colts.

I don't like this. I wonder if there are other guys not throwing. I think if he is the only one, it looks bad.

http://www.spotrac.com/research/NFL/100-potential-2018-nfl-cap-casualties-714/ I thought this was a pretty good resource to see some of the names we could expect to be released over the next few months. With Beane possibly playing the comp pick game, these names could be possible targets if cut. Some names on the list have already been cut. There are a number of names on this list that likely will not get cut, but it is still really interesting to look at the dead money cap implications in one place. I'm still holding out hope for Robert Quinn at some point this offseason.

Thanks for sharing. That's a good article where Trent Dilfer explains Rosen pretty well. He is high maintenance in that he expects everyone to work as hard as him, coaches, players etc. He and Dilfer butted heads, but its really two alpha males kind of clashing. I love this guy and think he has what it takes. I can't believe that people would question his work ethic when he could technically be doing anything besides putting his life on the line. I still think there are going to be teams at the combine who won't like how he interviews, but I do think he is the cerebral, hard working type that our front office is looking for.

I remeber when we played the Jags November of 2016 and Ivory was beating us up all by himself. He was gashing our defense and I felt like we would totally lose that game, then he got hurt and we were fine. This guy can be a real beast in a part time role. He is perfect compliment to Shady imo.

I know we always make fun of the people who want to sign released players all of the time, but this makes sense. It's an area of need and a guy who played very little last year. The revelation of TJ Yeldon and having Fournette buried Ivory. He is older, but should be fresh. He also played for our RB coach. Beane came out and said he would be mindful of the comp pick formula. Signing released players is how you fill out your roster without sacrificing future comp picks. I think we will continue to see Beane jump all over these types of players.

I love Josh Rosen. He is the prototype, high potential quarterback we have been searching for all of this time. The guy was pretty much bred to be a quarterback with a great release, arm strength, and football IQ. 5 star high school recruit. He is also very intelligent. I honestly think his floor is Eli Manning. Some drawbacks are that he is a bit skinny and needs to add ten pounds. He also has opinions, which the blue collar types don't like (this doesn't bother me but it rubs some people the wrong way). He has had injury issues. He also looks like the guy from "I Love you Beth Cooper."

Realistically I could see that happening after this upcoming season, but who knows? There is a potential out in the contract after 2018 where the dead money isn't bad.

I'm just saying with Beane saying he was going to play the comp pick game, signing released players is the best way to make that work. The Patriots have been doing it for years. This is true with the Davis signing as well.

Would not count towards comp formula as well!

I wouldn't mind playing three safeties in the nickel, especially because Hyde and Poyer are former corners. Even though they have Baker, and the Honey Badger, I could see Coleman following Wilks to Arizona to help their defensive transition.

With all of the options available in free agency, the cost to move up could technically be cheaper. I think they made the trade down last year with the specific intent of trading up this year. I don't think they anticipated making the playoffs, which makes the trade up more difficult.

DeFelippo could mean they go with Bradford. It could also mean Cousins as DeFelippo has seen him up close a lot in the NFC East. I don't think they will feel like Keenum is the guy.

Man what happened to this thread? Next thing you know we will be talking about Mason Rudolph or Tyrod Taylor.

Playing Mills over Henderson is such a head scratcher for me. I believe in this coaching staff, but I take issue with the amount of playing time that went to Ducasse, Mills, and Tolbert. I just don't understand what they saw in those guys. When Henderson came in for a handful of plays I thought he looked pretty good and I think he is a good enough prospect to hold on to. I do really like the potential of Conor McDermott though.

I like Jeremiah's insight as well because he was a starting college quarterback. Between that and his scouting background, he is one of my favorite guys to listen to. Louis Riddick is also a former player, scout, and was a director of pro personnel. I like listening to Mayock, but I think Riddick and Jeramiah's insight hold the most weight.

My guess is they have their sights set on Rosen, Darnold, or Allen. I'm guessing Rosen. I think all of the rumors coming out could mean something. Usually it's the pre combine rumors that are closest to the truth. The next few months is all smokescreen stuff. I think draft boards and plans are pretty much set in motion at this point. I think the interviews are the most important part of the draft combine for most part. If they know they can land Rosen I could see them going with a crappy vet like Chad Henne or Matt Moore to be there in case they need someone to start the first four games. If we see them sign a younger guy like Bridegewater or McCarron, I think they pass on drafting a guy high. If they trade for Nick Foles, he also become the guy. I could also see Sam Bradford as a possibility and he would likely become the guy as well.

Pretty sure they were just resting him for the playoffs. BB didn't want him to sit out the entire game so he gave him a half to play from what I recall.

Really surprised he doesn't love Rosen.

100 percent! It's weird. I've been thinking how the Bills have been in a tough spot for a long time as a perpetually middle of the pack team, 8-8, 7-9 etc. The Rams are a team that has been awful for a while and stacked with really high picks. This is the other side of it as all this those top picks eventually become super expensive. They finally had a good year and they aren't going to be able to keep the team together. Sucks.

Rams are in a tough cap spot. They have some space, but can't pay everyone. They have Sammy, Joyner, and Johnson all UFAs. Donald needs a new contract coming up and then you have Gurley as well and Goff down the road. They might lose Quinn, Barron, Austin to make it all work.

I'm sticking with my prediction of San Francisco. A lot of cap, position of need. Great fit with Shanny and Jimmy G.
