I don't think all that highly of Rosen, so I don't think trading him and taking someone else is the worst idea in the world, but there's no way they would do it for just a 4th round pick. They would probably require a 1st round pick if someone wanted Rosen. I also personally think Rosen was a better prospect than Haskins is, so I wouldn't personally subscribe to this plan. But I know most people seem to be higher on Haskins than I am.

Fitz is a free agent. Arians took the Bucs job because he loves Jameis (and also the Bucs GM).
-
Just for context because I was curious about this myself: for the past few years, Buffalo has gone into training camp with at least 12 WRs on their roster (obviously this is before cutting guys). Buffalo currently has 8 under contract for next season (I would guess they bring all of them into training camp but I guess we don't know that for sure), so at minimum, we have room for probably at least 4 more WRs to sign this offseason between free agency, the draft, and UDFA.

The Quarterback Shuffle 2019
DCOrange replied to EmotionallyUnstable's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
They’ve already announced that Jameis will be their starting QB next year and Jameis was one of the main reasons Arians wanted the job. -
Bucs traded a 6th round pick to Arizona for a 7th round pick and the rights to Arians. You can probably have Gerald McCoy, Vinny Curry, and maybe Jason Pierre-Paul if you're lucky. I would guess they plan on building around Vita Vea, Lavonte David, and Kwon Alexander.

The Quarterback Shuffle 2019
DCOrange replied to EmotionallyUnstable's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I would say the reason for getting rid of him is the same reason that teams shouldn't sign him, Flacco, Foles, etc. Paying below average to average starting QBs $20-25 million per year (in Tannehill's case, it would actually be more than that if Miami keeps him) is the worst place to be in football IMO. I'd rather sign someone cheap like Fitzpatrick and draft a rookie and pray than to invest that much of your salary cap in players that you know aren't good. If Tannehill, Foles, Flacco, etc. are your best option as a starting QB, I think you should just invest that money in other positions and go cheap at QB and hope you strike gold. -
Which prospect do you NOT want the Bills to draft?
DCOrange replied to LSHMEAB's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Nick Bosa, because it means we traded up. -
I think Tampa wants to get rid of DeSean regardless of if he buys in with Arians or not. I don't think either the player or the team are happy with him being there. They'd probably rather use that cap money to re-sign Adam Humphries but they might just let both of them go since they have Evans, Godwin, OJ Howard, and Brate if they keep him.
-
Some potential cut candidates: Bortles: $9.5 million if cut with June designation DJ Hayden: $3.5 million post-June Sefarian-Jenkins: $4.4 million Hyde: $4.7 million Dareus: $10.5 million All of them besides maybe DJ Hayden are locks to be gone at this point and those moves free up roughly $29 million, giving them roughly $22 million to use between free agency and draft picks to fill like 10 roster slots, most of which won't be expected to be starting caliber players. Again, if they simply don't think Jackson is worth the money anymore, they should cut him. But if they think he's worth the money, they can probably afford to keep him.
-
Arians loves Jameis; that's one of the reasons this pairing was so obvious beyond the fact that the GM and Arians are good friends.
-
I understand the situation, but they have a lot of other players they can cut without necessarily cutting Malik Jackson. If they simply don't want him anymore, then yeah, obviously they'll cut him, but they can get out of their cap troubles pretty easily without moving him. Dareus, Sefarian-Jenkins, Barry Church, Bortles, one of their WRs or CBs. They can all be cut and save a lot of money without necessarily cutting two DTs. They still very well might just want to get rid of both anyways but I don't think it's a definite that they cut Jackson.

I grew up in Rochester, but have lived outside of DC for the past few years now. I don't care about the Redskins at all. I actually grew up a Tampa Bay Bucs fan but I always went to Bills training camp and rooted for Buffalo on the side and then became more of a Bills fan after I moved away because it's given me an easy way to stay connected with my family (all Bills fans). So at this point, I'd say I'm a Bills fan who roots for Tampa on the side. I'm completely indifferent to the Redskins.
-
I still kinda think someone else will be the first QB taken, but we'll see. I anticipate three QBs going in the first round and Haskins will obviously be one of them and probably go in the top 10.

My current rankings pre Senior Bowl/pre Combine: DK Metcalf - I just think his physical tools make him a worthy gamble amongst a class of good but not spectacular prospects Deebo Samuel - I concur with the scouting report in the OP; love pretty much everything about Deebo. I think people are underrating him a bit due to his size, but he's as good beating press coverage as anyone in this draft class. To me, he's someone that can line up anywhere on offense and be good at it. N'Keal Harry - Can't help but love the body control and YAC ability that he shows for a guy his size. He has the speed question to answer at the combine and I come away disappointed with how he deals with press coverage, but he's another good prospect IMO. Tyre Brady - I love him. To me, he might have the best hands in the draft and he shows great body control along with it. Has pretty good athleticism as well. The Senior Bowl will be a big opportunity for him to prove himself but I think he's been slept on big time this year. Riley Ridley/Kelvin Harmon - Both appear to be good well-rounded receivers. Ridley is a bit more explosive IMO but I think Harmon is better at the catch point.
-
Which one? They have two that are expected to be potential 1st or 2nd round picks this year. I'm guessing you mean Fant?
-
I would assume Dareus is cut first, no? Zero dead cap if they cut Dareus and Jackson is probably better anyways. I would think both of them may be on the chopping block depending on how much flexibility Jacksonville wants to have this offseason. If they plan on just drafting and starting a rookie, they don't really have to rock the boat too much in terms of cuts.
-
If we pursue a DT that gets cut, I'd prefer it be Gerald McCoy. Having said that, paying $25-30 million per year to your DTs (combined between Star, McCoy, and the two Phillips) is a lot.
-
Not sure if it was posted in here already, but the Chargers came out and said after the game that they noticed on film that the Ravens O-Line was tipping their pitches before every play. Based on the way one of their tackles lined up, they knew if it was a pass or a run every single play and based on the way the TEs lined up, they knew exactly where the Ravens planned on running. Pretty alarming if you're a Ravens fan to have coaches that don't notice stuff like that.

Cool Detailed Analysis - Zay Jones
DCOrange replied to Billsfan1972's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The thing is I think he's probably a lot more comfortable in the slot and probably projects best playing in the slot moving forwards, but philosophically speaking, I feel like Daboll might prefer a short, quick slot WR like he had in New England rather than a more well-rounded but not particularly special in any category type like Zay. I think a guy like Adam Humphries or Cole Beasley would be a significant upgrade over Zay in the slot. -
That's a bummer.
-
He wasn't my #1 QB, but I had been high on him dating back to the year before so I was happy to end up with him; made his jersey my first ever Bills jersey too. I thought he would play early on and obviously that came to fruition. His running ability has been utilized more than I expected, but beyond that, I think he's pretty much been exactly as advertised, and I view that as a good thing.

Benny Snell Jr. as our future RB
DCOrange replied to 78thealltimegreat's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'm not a fan of Snell. If the Bills want to go with more of a power style RB, I think there are better options out there. Definitely do not see him as a 2nd round pick. I still kinda expect the Bills to end up with Damien Harris at the end of the day, but we'll see. He's not my top RB either. -
If you're fine with the TV Broadcasts rather than All-22, there is a ton of Daniel Jones film out there; maybe more than any other QB. You can literally find almost any of his games from the past three seasons. I don't think his ceiling is as high as Haskins and Lock, but I think he's the only QB I'd feel comfortable starting right away.

I think he ends up in Washington after they trade up into the top 10.
