I think many that are not happy simply wanted a C Patterson, Fournette, trade for C McAff, etc. This is more a depth move that could be good or be a Breida/Yeldon repeat. We will see next year.
1) Has not shown that. Has been the league long enough and generally will have more targets than rushing attempts. And that has been playing for ATL, SEA, DET and WAS.
2) He is not lined up wide very often. When he has been its a quick pass on a cross. We just signed McKenzie who can fill that role. Not seen much of this guy running routes downfield.
I dont think any of it awful, just meh.
Saffold is a downgrade in the pass blocking game. He has been one of the worst in the league. Will be interesting to see how that plays out.
No problem with the DT's. Just still need an end.
I am not as high on McKissic. Again not awful but Breida has the ability to be used this way and was not. Hope I am looking back next year saying I was wrong about this one, just dont see him having a big role and think money could have been spent elsewhere. Does look like this year cap could be low though so the its not so bad. Just would hate to see $4m on this guy.
Meh. I feel like the Bills offseason plan is to maintain the status quo. I know we dont have cap space blah blah blah. If you dont have cap space you dont need an $4M per RB that may not see the field. Spend under $1M on a JAG and use the money elsewhere. Hey we could be fine and battle through the playoffs. Still time - but wish they made a run at the big impact need for a pass rusher or another WR.
I don’t mind McK on this roster. But to say he is our #3 so we are all set is scary. He is a fringe player. In the right match up he could have an impact but he could just as easily be inactive. You still upgrade at WR if you have the opportunity.
Beas can excel vs the zone. Mck has not shown that yet. That is likely why he gets less snaps. What d are most teams in vs us? Let’s see what happens but I don’t think mck has been getting screwed it is more likely his size and abilities limit what him zone coverage.
I hope they use him if they are willing to pay him $4m when cap is tight. Can get much cheaper gadget wr that play only a few snaps. Other than the NE game he was barely used. 1-2 catch/rush a game is not worth $4m.
If you can get Cox for a reasonable you do it. His cap hit would be well below the value you get from him. Edmunds and a pick for Cox then sign Wagner.
Von Miller, Chandler Jones, JC Jackson...
Do guys like Clowney, Campbell, Ingram, Gilmore, Reddick, Ogbah, Lawson even fall in this "prominent, big name category"?
We already heard this back in january and there was no deal. I think Shaq wants back to the Bills bad so he keeps putting this out. If you can get him as a much cheaper Addison or Obada replacement why not. I just dont want this to be THE move on the DL.
I find this talk funny. What did he do to be in high demand this offseason vs last offseason? But I wouldn’t be shocked to see him get a raise. But $15m?
