I could see Klein, Williams and (longest shot) Hughes back in Buffalo on cheap deals at some point. Sanders is done. Star is done. Beasley signs after the draft with a contender. GB makes some sense? Addison signs after the draft.

“Contracts get done when they’re supposed to get done.” It’s the 2nd time Beane has said something like this when asked about Diggs. It sounds a lot like “when not if” when it comes to Diggs.

After you questioned the move… The way you phrased your comment was implying the move was bad.

Well then how can you make educated comments about the process that Beane went through? I’m not faulting you for not spending time and effort to understand it. I’m addressing the fact you feel the need to comment on the decision making without understanding the process. But that’s not how it works…

Why would Ryan Bates accept an offer when he’d have the option to head to a (semi) open market and get other teams to drive the price up ? That’s just bad business on his end. I don’t think you’re understanding how this process works…

Your critical thinking skills are MUCH appreciated!

Lol nope… he very clearly wanted Bates long term.

Well considering a team thought he was worth a little over $4M this year and we believe he’s an ascending player… who is to say he doesn’t get more money on the open market next season if he plays the way we believe he will? It’s funny that so many people are struggling to grasp exactly what happened here with Bates.

So you’re telling me you don’t think Beane ever approached Bates and his agent to discuss a contract extension? You think he just slapped an Original Round Tender on the guy and said “Well, let’s hope for the best.”

McDermott said today we’re working through this…

Dan Campbell is going to set himself up for an awesome TV gig after he gets fired at the end of this season or next. Something like Pat McAfee and Dan Campbell announcing games would be akin to printing money.

If Marshawn Lynch and Trent Edwards come, they will fight for Dave and Buster’s.

CB Rachad Wildgoose was the other

1A) Wait for Bradberry's price to come down/get released and keep our 2022 3rd round pick. Spend a pick somewhere RD1 - RD3 on a CB and a pick RD5 or later on a CB. 1B) Sign 1 of Joe Haden, Xavier Rhodes or Steven Nelson for less than the $6.5M and keep our 2022 3rd round pick. Spend a pick somewhere RD1 - RD3 on a CB and a pick RD5 or later on a CB. Either of the proposed scenarios gives you a fill-in CB1 while White is still recovering as well as an option to compete with Jackson for CB2 while White is recovering. Plus a developmental option that compete to make the roster and/or end up on the practice squad. CB1 - Bradberry/Haden/Rhodes/Nelson CB2 - Jackson/RD1 - RD3 draft pick SLOT - Johnson CB4 - Jackson/RD1 - RD3 draft pick/RD 5 or later draft pick Once White returns everyone shifts down one spot. CB 1 - White CB 2 - Bradberry/Haden/Rhodes/Nelson SLOT - Johnson CB4 - Jackson/RD1 - RD3 draft pick There's also Siran Neal who factors in. He's plays more of a hybrid role, but part of his extension was the fact that he'd contribute more on defense. I'm not advocating to disregard the CB position by any means - this proposed price for Bradberry is far too much. This defense is extremely CB friendly, no need to overpay for a guy who isn't significantly better than alternative options available.

In a world where it’s guaranteed - absolutely. Unfortunately it’s not, and I’m skeptical James Bradberry is the missing link to winning a Super Bowl. The Giants are getting desperate to move him. I’m not giving up a 3rd for 1 year and taking a $6.5M cap hit.

Oof. For 1 year?

Appreciate you spotlighting my point. I didn’t articulate it very well, you did a much better job of communicating what I was trying to say.

Davis Mills was WAY more impressive than Mac Jones. It’s not even close. He was in the worst situation by far and held his own. Also didn’t cost a mid-1st rounder.

Brady also spent the majority of his career under Bill Belichick and Josh McDaniels. Both manages to backed out of commitments they made to teams… McDaniels was even hiring staff in Indianapolis before he bailed. Don't forget the cheating too. I don’t put very much faith in people who have proven they lack strong values.

They learn from the ones they lost, not lament over them for 4 years now… most people don’t end up making decisions for a pro sports team either. Maybe that’s the separator?

This is a little dramatic, no?

I don’t disagree we need to spend draft capital on the offense this year, and would like to see our RD1 pick on a WR if it’s the right fit. Although, I’m not sure how you can say they’re prioritizing the defense at the expense of the offense. They’ve been a top 3 offense two seasons straight… the offense hasn’t suffered… they’ve just acquired talent through other avenues. At least the way I’m reading what you wrote, you’re suggesting the offense has suffered because of their investment in the defense through the draft. It may not be your intention, but that’s how it seems to be written.

The Chiefs have drafted well because they’ve found 3 above average starters in the last 5 drafts. The Bills have at least 2 in 4 of the last 5 drafts (2021 is TBD but Rousseau and Brown have shown promise) and they’ve drafted poorly because they took Cody Ford. Right…

Reminder that the Dolphins haven’t beaten the Bills since Josh’s rookie year and McDermott is 9-1 against them. Josh Allen 7-1 63% completion 1980 yards 21 TD 5 INT 430 Rush 4 TD Call me when they find a QB that can match that.

They didn’t even view Lamar as a QB haha
