A 2nd could have had if not even less given no $11M contract to take on...

Can we rewind and delay the league year?

Cards are going OL and I think always planned on it. Does not change anything in my eyes accept maybe in the 2nd or 3rd rounds.

How were the Bills not in on this? Based on what HOU got I would think we could have gotten a deal done for a 2nd this year. Maybe needed to throw in an additional 3rd or 4th in 2021. Ugghh

Teams with Jets are saying they will be doing it.

Florio, Shefter and these guys dont like free agency being done in an isolated way. Gives them less opportunities for stories, rumors, interviews, etc. They want a delay to help themselves out.

Isnt that kind of where the Bills have been since Kelly? 1997 - 2001 - Rob Johnson / Collins with Flutie / Van Pelt Gave up on Johnson and Collins as future QB's; Flutie as the midtier 2002 - 2004 - Bledsoe / Van Pelt after failed Johnson 2005 - 2007 Losman / Holcomb Losman failed 2007 - 2009 Edwards / Losman / Fitz Edwards failed 2010 -2012 - Fitz after Edwards failed 2013 - 2015 Manuel / Fitz / Orton Manuel failed 2015 - 2017 Taylor after Manuel failed with help from Cassel / C Jones / Peterman 2018 - ? Allen Allen fails? Allen does not fail but dont want to pay big $; Start cycle all over again.

Going to be interesting on here when Josh comes up for free agency. Most likely his numbers will fall well short of what Dak has done to date. No doubt the contracts will keep going up and the $'s for Josh will seem ridiculous. But as Bills fans should know it is very hard to find a solid QB. That is why you cant compare the $ to the ranking of the QB. It is basically if this guy is even a top 15-20 QB in the league he is likely getting top 1-3 QB when when his contract is due. Just how it works. You either pay your above average guy or play the QB shuffle until you hit on another draft pick.

Seriously - who do these people think they are? Questioning a move by an NFL GM and head coach. I remember when people tried to question starting Nathan Peterman. Fools thinking they know so much. Who was laughing after Peterman went on to dominate...wait, oh wrong number, so sorry.

If Allen was a free agent what do you pay him? Some team may be willing to give Allen $30M per...

NFL If you want a better than average starter = two options. 1) Hit on draft pick and pay rookie contract. 2) Pay your draft pick or someone that hits free agency obscene money. Does not matter if that person is Mahomes, Jimmy G or Dak Prescott. Otherwise you rolling the dice with the Fitz, Tyrod or drafting a new QB every 4 years.

I dont love or hate the signing. Its a lets kick the tires on the guy deal like Vontae Davis. What I dont like is: 1. Must be a great deal since McD knows him. That does not mean he is good. 2. We have money to spend so who cares. I care if means we dont sign someone else. For example, Norman + Kroft = $12+M or Norman + Murphy = $16M. For either of those figures you could have a top TE like Hooper or Henry; Top WR; Top De. So do you take a rookie CB + Hooper, Henry, Green, Cooper, Yannick, Clowney or Norman + Kroft or Murphy?

Which is my response to the "I trust McD and Beane, they know Norman". They knew a bunch of the other duds. And Rivera knows Norman as do many other coaches. Well that takes work...

Who can list all of the CAR signings since McBeane have been here?

Players selected in the first 100 picks of last years drafted = 50% were considered primary starters. Players selected after 100 of last years draft = less than 10% were considered primary starters. Before you say its skewed by the very late round picks. Picks 101-150 = less than 15% were primary starters. You hear about the success stories. But no one talks about the other 90%.

This. We do not need more depth. We need elite players that can contribute right away. We are young and not looking for guys to replace starters in a few years at most positions. Not saying you have to trade up but trading down for more picks in the later rounds makes no sense.

Even still - there was a ton of talk about how DK was now a top 10 pick after the combine. Yes, some still questioned him and found reasons to do so. Think the same happens with Claypool after the combine settles out.

Combine may give a guy some hype but folks still fall back on the tape and what they see on the field. Claypool is clearly a good athlete but that is not the only factor. As others have said - DK Metcalf after running a 4.33 was instantly going to be a top 10 pick... https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/nfl-combine-d-k-metcalf-blazes-path-to-top-10-of-draft-and-how-wr-te-qb-workouts-affect-first-round/

Bryant from Wash looked the best catching the ball and running routes.

Just some fact checking: Beasley had a good year. But was not too far off his normal production especially if you simply account for time on the field. Plus he has actually had a better year in 2016 - one being playing with a rookie Dak Prescott. Brown also a good year. But he also has played well and similar in most of his career. Other years have been similar and again if account for time on the field it correlates. In 2015 he put up a 1000 yd season with a 36 year old carson palmer. Jones - He led the team in targets with the Bills and still only caught for 600 yds. Not a good example. 940 snaps in one year and 650 in the next. His numbers the first 4 weeks with the Bills were exactly the same as his numbers the rest of the year with the Raiders.

Must admit have not done much homework on the guy other than glance at his stats. Looks like he has a lot of Int's - 5 in 2018. Is he really that bad in pass coverage?

Huh? Confusion. The only games lost in this idea are the NFC vs AFC games. So I asked what big rivalries of NFC vs AFC teams would be lost? I think you have more AFC vs AFC rivalries and under my idea the NFL would actually have those teams play more often.
