I get the deal for Hoecht since it’s more than one year. But the Larry O deal makes no sense for one year and he is out half of it. Unless that salary is prorated and not the full $8m.

These deals have to be voidable.

Sad state of the media. Most is just copycat material or misleading headlines that are all speculation.

Last 8 weeks of the season including playoffs - 18 catches for 252 yards and 1 TYD. That is basically averaging 2 catches for 30 yards per game. And those were meaningful games LAR need to make the playoffs. The BUF game was his best game...take that out and the numbers look even worse. In 5 of 8 of the games he had under 30 yards...

The moves are done yet but... Bosa/Hoecht/Ogunjobi replaces Miller/Smoot/Johnson/Phillips/Jefferson = Hard to answer. Miller on paper had better year than Bosa. I look at Hoecht and Ogunjobi as washes. Palmer replaces Hollins/Cooper = I am not as high on Palmer as others so call it a wash. However, the threat of Cooper potentially had an impact that Palmer does not bring to the table. Punter - Who cares as long as they dont suck. TE - Do we need to replace Morris. Should not be hard to grab a 3rd TE. Forrest replaces Douglas/Elam = Still work to do. Need starting CB and depth. Evans replaces himself as a practice squad or cut

Maybe, but Kupp hasnt touched 1K yards since 2021. Maybe someone will overpay but he seems more in the Hopkins, OBJ, etc group these days.

We are an elite player or two away from the super bowl. Can we do it with Josh playing super hero and a lot of good players? Maybe. But imagine if instead of a Deonte Harty or Curtis Samuel types they got Barkley or Henry. What if they found a way to get Danielle Hunter? The doubles are nice and all, but to win it all may take a home run.

$5M with incentives. I would put him in the Hopkins category right now.

The guys we signed are considered a rebuild?

Other than KC who had Reid, Mahomes, Kelce, and Chris Jones. What Super Bowl team the past few years did not make big moves? Phi stacked the roster, SF stacked the roster, LAR stacked the roster, TB stacked the roster. The Bills have primarily rolled back out the same team rather than swing for the difference maker. The question is will that be enough to get over the hump? Seems to be the bet mcbeane is making.

Allen Yesssssssss Staying through 2028 Terms: #Bills and QB Josh Allen have reached agreement on a 6-year, $258M extension, locking him in through 2028. $150M guaranteed, per @AdamSchefter That comes out to $43M per year. Massive.

Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

DB - Reid, Fulton, Simmons, Slay, Gilmore, Samuel DL - Bosa, Campbell (Calais), Lawrence, Ojulari, Koonce, Z Smith, P Smith, WR - Lockett, Patrick, Hopkins, Cooks

Unless you want $10m more in 25-26 season. They are doing the math and said let’s take less now to not impact 26-27. I am in the camp that we need more on this roster. One player in my opinion is the difference between falling short and super bowls.

Couldn’t they have saved another $10m if it was post June 1 designation? Hearing it’s not.

Hendrickson? Sweat? Mack?

I don’t recall any conversations about Josh being extended or overpaid. Not single one.

This is an issue with the nfl. It’s bad enough to go to court we will wait for the legal process to play out. But when it does not even go to court nfl will make their own judgements.

I will hold off until all the moves are done. But this resembles more of what we have seen that leads us to a team that falls short because of a lack of star power. Pay good money to many good players. Rather than pay big money to difference makes are utilize some low level contracts to rookies and vet minimum guys. I still have hope we can add a difference maker on the d line and some speed at wr.

Yet none of them ever seem to get suspended.

Not the only choice, but if you are making this choice: Adams or Cooper I take Adams for the same $. But I do think there will be much more demand for Adams than Cooper, so he likely is costing more.

Exaclty -- You could put any college LB on the field and he can tally up tackle numbers. At LB all that really means is you were on the field. Things like sacks, TFL, int's, etc are more telling if you want to look at impact. You look deeper at Dorian and he blitzed 41 times with no sacks. Targeted 59 times and no int's, plus giving up a 107 qb rating, and missed 8.6% of his tacks. So you can look at the tackle numbers and be impressed, but the other side tells a different story.

These kind of stats are funny to me. I could see next year he barely hits field if our LB's stay healthy.

Bills have drafted a RB in the first 4 rounds four times since 2019. That is crazy. Especially given both the talent you can get in later rounds and how many good free agents are available for cheat at the position. So maybe we dont draft another RB early and trade that pick to move up or for a player that can help. Please dont draft a RB until 6/7th rounds.
