    Looking it over on what's left, it seems the Safety market is pretty much at a standstill waiting for Holland at the top and there isn't much of anything as far as 1-Tech DT's.

     

    8. Dolphins Safety Jevon Holland

    11. Chiefs Safety Justin Reid

    32. Chargers CB Asante Samuel Jr.

    37. Bills WR Amari Cooper

    44. Panthers CB Mike Jackson

    45. Saints DE Chase Young

    51. Falcons S Justin Simmons

    54. Chargers CB Kristian Fulton

    58. Commanders DE Dante Fowler Jr.

    59. Vikings Safety Harrison Smith

    60. Bills CB Rasul Douglas 

    61. Chargers DE Joey Bosa

    64. Bengals DE Joseph Ossai

    73. Cowboys DE DeMarcus Lawrence

    77. Chiefs WR DeAndre Hopkins

    80. Colts S Julian Blackmon

    83. Dolphins DT Calais Campbell

    84. Falcons DE Matthew Judon

    97. 49ers DT Javon Hargrave

    100. Jaguars Safety Andre Cisco


    Onto Chase Young perhaps…. DT in the draft …take 2 even …

    very near his forty time.

    and no he cant play DE nor DT.

    Nor should we convert him to a TE or Safety

    😋

     I bet some pocket change and couch cushion dollars we end up liking him in Buffalo White and Blue


    hope you are right …looks like he is going to have an important job next season…they are going to lean on him to make some plays

    Dolphins fans on finheaven trying to convince themselves Tua's contract is better than Allen's because when Allen can't run anymore the Bills will be 'stuck' with him is the highlight of the offseason.


    I saw one guy there say something like “how are the Bills possibly going to afford this deal?”…. Then someone reminded him it was $2mil a year more  then what they were paying Tua …. Then silence ..,,

  4. There seems a philosophy shift and they aren’t going to pay anymore for a number 1 WR on this everybody eats, run heavy offense to get 800 yards and 80 targets maximum …


    Hope they improve the D now, so they can get a few stops and get off the field quicker/more frequently. Put the ball back in the MVPs hands instead of having him sit on the bench staring into space whilst they are giving up another long drive ..

    It is.   

     If you chase the bigger names you’ll have to overpay.   The Bills have 5 holes on the team to plug this offseason, CB, Safety, DE, DT and WR.  I’m hoping we address all those needs substantively over the next few months.


    I’m hoping they still have a possible under the radar trade candidate they are going to surprise us with ….overpaying mid players in FA is of no interest …

    It’s been near universal praise from analysts and people I respect.  Go onto X and it’s everywhere aside from some grumbling fans.   
     

    I know the frustration from some that they want a high end talent at the WR spot and I would love it as well.   Who wouldn’t want a great boundary weapon for Josh?

     

    Im not against getting one, but based on the fact that the Bills had one of the most efficient, high scoring teams that gave up record low sacks/turnovers ever in the history of the NFL. It’s clear as day that the bigger needs overall are on defense.    
     

    It makes more sense to spend more on defense than offense.  

     

    They are making lots of moves right before FA begins that is freeing up lots of money.  They are going to spend.  May not be like how some want but the commitment to winning by spending will be there. 
     

     


    my reservation is that this is a weak FA class ..

    $150M x 5 years for a WR who isn’t even in the top 10 in the league at his position?  Gross…and I like DK, but man that is some serious coin for a good but not really elite WR - IMHO.  
     

     


    What’s the guaranteed? Von’s comtract was $120m and got paid $47m

    That's funny. I was taking crap for saying this yesterday. Low and behold - here we are. 

     

    Once again, putting a lot of assets into a large number of pretty good players at the cost of great ones.


    There is another possibility….. Beane really believes the “everybody eats” philosophy, and doesn’t want to pay receivers anymore …

    It's $30M AAV, exactly what was reported. Nothing about the trade compensation or the money is shocking. This was the known asking price. Rousseau plus Bernard's AAV more than makes up for it. Beane chose the two solid players over the one great player. That decision is emblematic of his strategy in general and it hasn't gotten us over the hump.


    Re-signing Rousseau and Bernard didn’t prevent him from offering that deal to Metcalf ….

    Whelp there you go. The cold weather excuse is gone. We didn't make this trade because Beane didn't want to. And if our outside WRs struggle as badly as they did last year, this will be the latest example of him failing to add to the room. I really hope he has some kind of plan.


    Who’s the next WR to go after ?  Going to have to be someone from left field ..

    Hollins caughtt 6 tds I think, definitely looking at the market.


    No one would blame him …knocking on the door of 32 yrs old … this could be his last payday …

     

    I would prefer them to keep Ty actually if it’s just one who comes back ..find someone in the draft to replace Mack ..

    This seems like a beane signing any other year. The fact that we haven't even heard the bills are interested makes me think they're doing all they can to get Garrett 


    The Bills eventually get linked by someone in the media to every big name available player … it will come…. Just focusing on DK and Garrett first

    The overall strategy - paying a DE2 when you don't have a DE1 - and going for what looks increasingly like a run it back strategy is what I like less than any of the individual deals specifically. 


    Let’s wait and see on what the strategy is … it’s still too early .., I’ll agree with you if Rousseau ends up as  DE1   but from what they said after the season, they know they have to improve the position
