Allen made the playoffs without Diggs people forget that. Diggs was good in Minny but he wasn’t at this level. Allen made Diggs as much as Diggs made Allen.

Floyd is a way better player…but Frank ain’t no slouch and shows up in the playoffs . Nice move by the donkeys if only Russell wasn’t a has-been with a contract that they are stuck with could actually make the the AFC West interesting.

Way of looking at it John maybe that explains the freak ucl deal

Word is last year Josh would have been the choice if Coach Madden didn’t pass away. So in a way they are just making up for what they wanted to do a year ago.

This ain’t happening sorry

Yeh I was going to say if he’s watched Yannick in recent years he’s been pretty terrible and really hasn’t been any good for the last two years.

Man when Von is healthy you go throw him, Leonard, and Greg on the field at the same time that ain’t bad

No Dallas wanted him back but the Bills offered him a deal he couldn’t turn down that’s all.

I agree LA I think the Kincaid factor looms large here if he gets caught up to the offense in short order it’s less targets for Gabe as I think the Bills feel they can get away with draft a young number 2 and not skip a beat

If you have the time profootballnetwork had an excellent article on it last week the top 5 next year would arguably have been the number 1 receiver this year https://www.profootballnetwork.com/top-wrs-nfl-draft-2024/

Honestly I actually understand Oliver and why they did it but Gabe Davis is a number 3 receiver masquerading as a number 2 receiver and is not worth the 10-15 million a year he’s going to want. Just goto the draft and get one next year as the receiver group in next years class is terrific.

This also might be a reason why they extended Eddie as they have cleared more cap space with restructuring of Trey and Dion still to come https://billswire.usatoday.com/2023/06/04/buffalo-bills-brandon-beane-spoke-deandre-hopkins/?taid=647c7a84db776900014a59ce&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter

You aren’t wrong. The guy got bank to play for the Bears cause the Bears are bad and had the most cap space. Tremaine is making almost exactly as much as Fred Warner and he isn’t Fred Warner. Eddie’s pay outs him where he is pretty as a player a good but not great player and now the Bills don’t have to reach for a DT in the draft of free agency where they probably would have to have paid similar money anyway.

In two years Miller has no dead cap hit and so does Diggs. If you look at the current construction of this team they have a bunch major salaries rolling off the books with little to no dead cap hit in 2025. So basically Beane has given these guys a two year window to make the Super Bowl after that they are looking at being rebuilt which I think we all would agree is a fair amount of time to try to win with this bunch.

It’s a fair deal for both sides Bills have no DTs under contract in 2024 and going to into free agency agents would have had the bills behind the 8 ball with negotiations so not a bad deal

I’m in agreement it seems DHop is going to the highest bidder might as well lockdown this thread and move on

Don’t even worry about the cap teams always find the money see the Saints somehow adding Derek Carr for 125 million. It just depends on if you want to rebuild everything or kick the can down the road.

Nah DHOP is history this was an observation of the continuous pressure Allen was under particularly from the jnterior part of the line and when he would throw it his receiver would drop it anyway.

I still can’t get over the vaunted defense giving up 30 first downs at home. The Bengals literally did whatever they wanted.

This most likely means he wants to goto the highest bidder he’s looking more for financial security then playing for a Super Bowl contender but if he can get both so be it.

Beane really relies on Allen to makeup for the shortcomings on offense while he loaded up on defensive personnel. He shouldn’t have to be going into his 6th year as starter with terrible interior guard play and Beane now knows this only 6 years later.

Thing is there isn’t a single team in that division you can say Cleveland is better than even if they add him. I think a team like the Lions could be in play though they seem like they are on the come up and he’s in a much easier conference.

I don’t know how many snaps he would actually get. But the fins makes sense they are about to get a bunch of cash and can use that to pay for him. The Bills are doing everything with ball bearings and duct tape at this point.

You know if you can stomach rewatching the entire game Allen really did all he could against the Bengals. Did he miss a few checkdowns sure but man he was as close to a one man team in that game as any game he played recently. Ironically he only would get into trouble when he would lock on Diggs cause no one else was getting open.

The Cowboys have Lamb, Gallup, and Cooks so I understand that.
