Well there are about 50 now and sure to be more on the markjet shortly. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/ufa/defensive-tackle/available/

I hope this is a major paycut. No way we should be paying even $3M. Cutting him would have saved $6.8M...you cant convince me that we could not find a better player in this market.

Can we do this on every deal. Seems illegal. Lets give Allen a 5 year $250M deal with 10 voidable years so it is a $10M cap hit...

There are plenty of examples of guys coming back to play more for the money than really wanting to play. I dont know if that is the case here, but just because he is a Long does not make him not want money. We do know: He had a ton of injuries which was the reason he retired. He started playing golf. He worked in the broadcast booth. He has said he will never play again. He said retiring was one of the easiest decisions he ever made. He has a ton of other interests. Maybe: He is bored. Needs money. Misses the game and wants to play. Wants to prove people wrong.

Hasnt played 16 games since 2015. My bet is he needs the money and will be shocked if he stays healthy enough to play in 4 games.

Look at the TE's in the last few super bowls - Kelce, Gronk, Kitttle, Ertz, Hooper. The majority of super bowl teams have a TE that is huge part of the offense. In todays NFL you need a TE.

Dont see why. Happy to admit I was wrong when he becomes a stud.

I don’t mind locking him up another year. But would rather have moved the money around to save some off the cap this year. Instead they made it easier to cut bait next year. I get it needing to look past this year but I feel this year is a buyers market do the more $ the better.

Tommy Tremble in the 6-7th maybe. Dont get these 3rd round projections.

If your a critic of Bills not addressing pass rush - We are fine; Hughes is top 10 in pressures. If your a critic of Bills cutting Hughes - Hughes sucks, what has he done the past few years. That is called a win win.

People always confuse highest paid = best player with the most recently paid player.

That team looks worse to me than this years team.

Worth a look. We were short at LB last year with Milano. If we can give him AJ Klein money and walk from Klein could be worth it.

Definitely a team on the rise and on the upswing compare to nearly all else in NFC. Would not be shocked to see them in NFC Championship next year. This years top 5 TB - On borrowed time GB - Rodgers gives them a couple more years maybe... NO - No Brees, no chance in my opinion SEA - Russell on way out? LAR - Stafford may not work and is also on way to retirement

Haha. Yet we clearly were offering something in the same ballpark if not the same/more money. Now he is a bad football player.

I am still hopeful and do expect Beane to be active in finding help on the DL. The fact he was in big time on the Watt chase shows this. I dont like the new narrative - Watt is not that good (ok but the Bills tried very hard to get him); We dont need him, lets just lock up Milano now (we did need him, now need someone similar and Milano does not solve that); There are plenty of other guys that fit better than Watt (Watt was close to the best option out there; Lets see what else we can get).

Need more than that. Unless we just want to be a playoff contender and nothing more.

Well that sucks. Dont think we will be in the running for guys like Barrett or Dupree On to: Lawson Clowney Hendrickson Yannick Judon Okwara People most have not heard off...

No - these are the new odds updated yesterday. Points Bet is online betting platform and partially owned by NBC. It is legit. Obviously betting odds aren’t always right. But usually do have a pulse on what is going on.

Bills not even listed in top 8 now... not that this means anything but this is where money is... Cleveland is the favorite, followed by Green Bay, Pittsburgh and Tampa Bay, according to Points Bet.

Not saying they were bad QB's. More that the QB's winning in the majority of those games did not win throwing for 400 yards and carrying the team on his back. Rather they managed the game well and had a strong running game to balance them out.

CLE can be good and the Bills can be good. The main argument I hear is Baker sucks, they dont have Allen. That can be a lot. But lets look at the most recent Super Bowl winners. Is it the best QB with a monster arm or better team? 2021: TB with Brady dinking/dunking and strong running game beats Mahomes 2020: Mahomes, but almost loss to Jimmy G dinking/dunking and strong running game 2019: Brady dinking/dunking and strong running game beats Goff 2018: Foles and running game beats Brady 2017: Brady vs Ryan. Brady wins. 2016: Manning with no arm left beats Newton 2015: Brady beats Wilson 2014: Wilson beats Manning 2013: Flacco beats Kaep I will stop there. I would say CLE could be that. With a good D and running game. Baker not making mistakes and making easy throws. They could fit the bill. Still, I would rather be the Bills right now with Allen, but to say CLE + Watt sucks is naive IMO.

Watt to CLE would not be good for Buffalo. They have a solid squad already and bring back basically everyone. They could sign Watt and still have more space available. They could also look to move OBJ and pick up even more space. Plus they have like 6 picks in the first 4 rounds of the draft. Gap was not very big between us and them and this would allow them to close it and then some.

Watt, Hughes, AJ,Johnson, Rookies vs Hughes, Addison, Jefferson, AJ, Johnson easy choice. If you can swap watt for Addison and Jefferson.

Agreed. I think the point is a few years ago he could play 90% of the snaps and completely dominate. He is still a great player and would be a huge addition. Just not a DPOY contender he used to be.
