Singing Wilson and Winston do open the opportunity that they are passing on QB (Sanders) at 3. All the master plan to tank for Arch Manning next year to bring back the good times. Were looking through the crystal ball here, people.

there’s still only 32 teams, right?

I assume your joking? Even if Cincy is entertaining a Bills offer the right to pay 30+million for a 31 year old pass rusher means one late 2nd round pick is the absolute max offer Beane should even consider and that is rich. If we see a trade I am guessing it'll be for 2 3's or 3&4th. The demand just isn't there and teams are scoffing at what Cinci initially asked.

Always wait for the true numbers to be released. 2 years 21 mil sounds much better than 3 for 36. If Palmer clicks with Josh nobody will worry about paying for year 3.

I know many think of Kupp as the 2021 version but he's been more injured than Bosa and it has taken a toll on his body. He may have 1 more year to be contributing player but I don't think the Bills should be the team to let him try. Rams know it and why they traded him in for a 33 year old Adams.

That's were I am at. Hendrickson is much more likely to play 75% of downs for a complete year but wants to be paid 30+ million per year plus draft capital. If Bosa were to play 75% of the snaps we know he's an All Pro level in my mind a better player. I don't think anyone thinks Bosa will play 75% of snaps but with the Bill's mantra of rotating the d-line if they can get him 60% for 15 games he'll be as impactful as Hendrickson at 1/3rd the cost. Also we can assume that Bosa will get hurt and Hendrickson will be 100% all year, even if that is what their history trend. In the end the only time it really matters is the playoffs if both Hendrickson and Bosa are healthy Beane won the decision to take Bosa. (and not wait for Hendrickson which may or not even be a realistic possibility as Cinci is very motivated not to send him to Buffalo)

Doubt it. I expect AJ to take a lot of snaps especially on likey rush downs. Need to limit Bosa’s snap so he’s ready for the playoffs. I posted before Bosa and Chase Young were 2 players I should want due to injuries where it likely wouldn’t work…. but just could work for us! And I’d talk myself into getting 14 games out of them. Here we are, and I’m all in! Healthy Bosa makes this D dangerous @ 12mil for 1 year I like the risk.

Don’t think so either but can play the X and has to be respected by the Defense. He’ll be a big upgrade filling the Mack snaps. (We all appreciate Mack effort but the defense didn’t respect him as a WR) this move allows Keon And Shakir play their best rolls with Samuel subbing at all 3 spots. Still would like Beane to bring in a true speed guy (sub 4.4) to threaten deep and round out the WR room. That may come in the draft.

Funny how well the deals for Shakir-13.5M, Benard -12.5M, Rousseau - 20M and Josh's 55M already look like steals. With the Milton Williams news getting Oliver for 17M looks great. It is always better to sign your own early. That said Beane does need to add to the current roster but let the disparate teams pay the first wave premium and swoop in when the money dry's up.

Sadly I think the Pats going to 26 million per year making MW the 3rd highest DT may hint on how the feel with Barmore future.

Chase Young and Joey Bosa are the most "that never works... but it could work for us" players. If you knew they were playing 14+ games they will be value contracts but that is unlikely. That said, if either come to Buffalo to start vs GRoot I'd be all in immediately.

Sliding scale?

No comment. need to see all the details but not a good look.

Younger doesn't equal better. Von had some flashes last year and will be on the books for roughly 8 million if cut. That's 8 million that can't be spent on any addition young or old. That is unless Von takes a pay cut to the 8 Million and then he's just playing for the Bills on what it'll cost them this year no matter what. Personally I would rather just keep Von at the 8million on the books than cut him and still have to spend and additional 2 mill on a Toohill type for a 4th DE type.
