To be fair - we were spending under $8M on Shaq and J Phil combined. We are now spending more than that basically on each player... Would not bank too much on a later 2nd rounder and beyond being a big contributor to next seasons offense...

Well MINN had Diggs, Thielen, Cook, Rudolph, Treadwell and whoever else was in the mix

Big trade and contract for one of the franchise tag guys out there.

Not quite yet. He was barely getting 50% of the snaps last season.

Funny the last teams you listed were ion 2003...that was 17 years ago right? Look at the last 15-20 super bowls and teams score in the 30's in the majority of them. A few random low scoring games but most have been won via offense and featured strong offensive teams.

Butler not too fond of for the price tag. Mata is blah for special teamer.

Clowney may not get you 15 sacks but he potentially adds 15 sacks to the other DL numbers.

Clowney would be the only DL on our team getting double teams.

WR's that could drop to 2nd - Higgins, Shanault WR's that should be there in 3rd - Pittman, Gandy Golden, Claypool

Exactly. Bring him to BUF. I would think he sees this supporting cast and would think he could put up good numbers and play for a good defense setting him up for a big contract somewhere next year.

I agree but do think we need it. Very similar group to last year - good players but lack the guy on the edge teams will worry about. No need to double or provide help for etc. If Clowney is not getting his deal bring him in for a 1yr prove it deal. I would think he looks at the supporting cast on the DL and would think it could set him up nicely for a big season and deal next year.

Still need help on offense. Still need help on edge.

Guess I got last laugh on this one. He was available at the trade deadline but price tag was higher. Still think we could have gotten him if we offered our first back then. Case of egos with Nuk and BOB not getting along.

I am usually on the opposite end of this thing when the Bills dont make the trade. Saying exactly what you said - if we can get player xyz you take that over the unknown draft pick. And I am usually met with - This FO values draft picks, too much talent in the draft, thats not how you build a team, etc etc. I was clamoring at the trade deadline to add a WR or pass rusher. I dont know how many people said we arent giving up a draft pick. I think many of those were specifically talking about Diggs and Hopkins.

Thats what people want and hope for...doesnt mean they are gonna get it. Just like drafting Allen vs signing a Kirk Cousins. You hope Allen will be better than a Cousins but no guarantees.

I would bet big $ that most on this board would be saying "wow, they gave up a ton for Diggs and he is not even a top 10 WR, is a head case and does not fit the process. I am good sticking with Brown, Beasley and Lamb/Jeudy/Riggs".

I think most people are "hoping" the guy picked at #22 or higher if trading up would be better than Diggs. Obviously no certainty but the build up to the draft is about these guys being generational talents etc. Diggs is good but not top 5 WR good which is what Lamb or Jeudy could be.

NFL players dont think or care about money. Its for the love of the game....

Prior to this trade there was a ton of talk about how loaded of a draft this is...

Many still

TB going to TB is meant TB. I am bored and tired of hearing about Tom Brady. Hopefully he is in TB then we wont here about him after about week 5.

What league are you watching? Confused with your Madden league? Johnson was never a top 3-5 back not sure even a top 20 back. And Diggs is a top 5? Hopkins only better by a bit? Hopkins is a future HOFer, multiple 1500 yd seasons, etc.

3/$36M is what I hear...

Littleton - word was he was not leaving Rams. Good player I would have liked on the Bills.
