    MIA still has Hill, Waddle, Achane and Moster. They added Smith at TE which is an upgrade. Brewer is a solid add at C.

    D is the concern after losing Wilkins and Howard, but they do have Chubb and Phillips coming back, plus added Poyer, Brooks and Barrett.

     

    I dont see how they have lost more than the Bills. With the O they will always be a tough match up. We are move question marks when it comes to impact players. 

    And now that added Fuller to replace Howard

    I’d like to remind everyone that there is an absolute ton of starting quality talent out there still. 

    Which is all those "complaining" are asking the Bills to pursue. But so many want to defend the lack of activity with we dont need anyone else. The guys we lost sucked and will be easily replaced by the back ups already on the roster or our once in a generation draft that produces 6 hall of fame level immediate starters.

    Yes. Thats why future cap is actually the more important number to look at. It’s also why I was shocked they didn’t restructure the max they could with Allen. Future cap looks good.

    To me that is the concern. The fact they didnt max out the Allen rertrux. Plus, limited extensions or restrux on other guys. Not a single impact free agent signing. Either they are taking a year to reset (I hope they dont think this is a good move when you have Allen), dont have resources available to them, or dont think they need to do anything. The level of activity focused only on bring back guys that likely had very little interest from other teams to have a stable core of depth guys is odd.

    It's not wrong to be cautious, but I haven't heard too many here say we'll struggle for a WC spot.

     

    The AFC East simply isn't that good of a division.  Miami is our biggest competition, and they have lost as much as we have this offseason, if not more.  The Jets w/ Rodgers might be somewhat tough, but I don't see them taking the division.

     

    As long as Allen stays healthy, I think the division title is more or less a given.

    He stopped injuring our own guys as much. Which, while half a joke, is also true and important.

     

    He single-handedly ended the Dolphins game week 18 in back to back plays during their final drive, which could have tied/won the game. Crushing Hill with a knock out blow and breaking up the pass, and then intercepting Tua on the next play.

    Yea he made a couple of plays at the end of the Miami game, agreed. I think people are rather extrapolating from that.

    And he still only played 13 snaps in that game. Made the most of it, but was still viewed as backup role guy that can fill in at times.

    How does Mack Hollins have 24 pages?

    Because we have literally signed only him and Morrow. WGR has had hours sent discussing him as well. This is a move in most other places would be barely noticed. We dont talk about KJ Hamler and I dont see much difference in terms of level of player.

    People keep saying this but I didn't see it.

    Poyer was still playing 100% of the snaps down the stretch and in playoffs. Yet now the story is he was shot and Rapp is better. Ok. Our coaches must be incompetent to play Poyer over Rapp all season if that is the case. Its been said 100 times that its ok to let Poyer walk and move on from him. But to say having Rapp now is an upgrade is just fooling yourself to drink the kool aid that this is somehow a positive. The hope should be that Rapp plays the same role as a role player not a starter. And at $2M for 1 year that would have been a deal most would have sold as a positive having Poyer for one more year.

    That's kind of cherrypicking w/ Sherfield & Harty.  Did you like the Kincaid & Torrence picks?  Did you like getting Floyd?  Did you think Bernard would become the player he is, or that he was a bust?

     

    We’ll most importantly last years team was not as good. It took everything they had and a late season push to get in the playoffs. The finish was not awful but can’t ignore what the season looked like.
     

    i had mixed thoughts on Kincaid just because we needed a WR more than TE. I was concerned they would not utilize him correctly and was right about that. He still has a promising future though. 
     

    No issues with Torrence again other than where is our WR. 
     

    My concern last year and again this year is not having weapons for Josh. We spend too many resources on our depth bottom of the roster guys rather than bringing in a couple impact players. They are doing it again with these two to $3 million signings rather than a six to $8 million guy. That could easily be paid for by letting a cam Lewis walk or many other vets that could play Hollins role for less than three mil.

    Kevin Massare made a good point on his video just now…

     

    take the $ you were paying to Phillips, Settle and Ford…but instead of 3 fringe players you’re using it on a stud. Plus Arik is capable of playing multiple spots on the line

     

    a team captain with the Niners and one of the better overall DL players in the NFC

     

    IMO if we got him I’d mix in a package where Von is lined up as an “OLB” on passing downs


        Rousseau Armstead Oliver Epenesa

    Von

     

     

    If you want to stop the run….

    is a nasty front 4 

    Imagine if we did that at wr last year. These mid level contracts kill me.

  10. It’s like groundhogs day around here. Starters leave and they all sucked anyway so new guy xyz is better. I had countless deflates about how harry and sherfield were huge upgrades. How did that turn out? Our oc got fired and they are already gone. It took turning Allen into a battering ram to turn the o around. Now we are down one more wr and we are clearly better.

    1. Diggs

    2. Kincaid

    3. Shakir

    4. Rookie

    5. Hollins 

    6. Rookie / speedy slot who doubles as a returner...

     

    You're forgetting that Dalton Kincaid is the team's #2 receiver. 

    We are not turning Kincaid into chase claypool. He is a te that can go in the slot. Not a wr2.

    That's the plan.

    At least can grab a wr with a top 5-10 pick in 2025 then.

    Kept in his pocket?  He got paid a big cash lump sum from what we restructured. Maybe we are saving the rest if we need it later or an extension is on deck next year

    I have not heard of multiple restructures of a contract in the same year. Usually you do it all at once. Saving it for later would mean there is limited cast available. The owner controls cash available.

    Exactly. For 6+ months posters with even a rudimentary understanding of the cap have been saying we aren't going to be big spenders in FA. There are pinned threads explaining the cap layouts and why we aren't going to be big spenders in FA. The GM has said we aren't going to be big spenders in FA. But now, all of a sudden, it must be the owner? Everything has to be a conspiracy.

     

    The season isn't won or lost in free agency. Have you learned nothing from Rex Ryan?

    How else can you explain the Allen restrux? The money left on the table for this year has very little value over the rest of his contract. Only benefit is $8M kept in his pocket.
