Not really, the money has changed quite a bit since 2014.
It hasn't increased by 500%

Took less money for the opportunity to start in Buffalo and he made it pay off for him.
He took $1m a year versus $5m a year that AJ is getting...
I think money is the only way we can truly value a players demand...

As I recall things, there was a bigger demand for Tyrod when both had their 1st opportunity as unrestricted free agents. Speaks volumes to me.
There is a bit of difference in salary though...
From memory TT wasn’t on much more than 1 Mil a year ..
-
AJ had started 4 games prior to coming to Buffalo...
TT had thrown about 4 passes...

More details emerging: expect the deal to be mostly guaranteed money at around $6-7 million per year.
Nice double down...
-
Browns is worse..
The unknown is preferable to me than the thought of Tyrod starting the first 8-9 games at least..,

I don't know what people are talking about with Rosen on draft night.
The Cardinals were ecstatic to get him, especially since they didn't have to give up nearly as much as the Bills.
Benjamin Allbright and others..
-
Meh... get some Oline help first..
-
I’m not particularly keen on Dez, but if he is signing a one year “prove it” deal for peanuts, then I don’t think he considers the Bills....
And not sure the Bills would want him...
-
Dez serms like a lunch pail, humble McBeane type guy..

Beane is either going to look like a genius or he is getting a lot of “ I told u so’s”...
There are a few things on your list that concern me...I can’t narrow it to one...
But, Beane is no dummy, and has been working on this decision for 12 months so let’s go with it and see how the decision looks pre draft 2020...
-
Anyone got some opinions/insight on Vallejo?
Can he be a piece in 2018?
-
Looking at the last 2 drafts ( I know Beane wasn’t here last year), they definitely have a type- lunch pail, team first, humble, don’t rock the boat, religious...
Not saying that any of these are bad qualities for a team sport.., but I also think a little bit of diversity wouldn’t go astray either...

I just ran the numbers on the draft pick value chart and 16 is worth 1000 and 56, 65 and 71 added up to 840. I get that it's three players but I think you are underestimating how valuable a mid to high first round pick is worth. Edmunds was considered a top 10 player at a need position. You could probably even add more value to that 1000 because of who we got. They made the right move.
With the actual two trade ups that happened, they also got back late round picks that led to Neal and Proehl...
Sure they are lottery tickets but you never know...

Tyrod?

Oline biggest worry for me..
Bodine and Newhouse both have that journeyman look about them and their campaigns in 2017 were nothing to write home about based on what I have read since they got picked up...
Hoping they are depth at best in 2018...
Best case scenario is Groy building on what he showed in 2016, and McDermott stepping up to secure the RT spot- there has been some buzz that the team is pretty high on him..
I would also add Teller being an immeadiate starter at LG but that is asking for too much.., more likely Beane picks up a solid post June cut on a reasonable 1 year deal...

i didn't really see it going down as it did. i thought we would be lucky to end up with rudolph...who i think will have a good career.
that being said, i after having done some research, am now drinking the kool aid, i love this kid, but hope he gets a year to sit while a.j. takes us to hosting a wc playoff game.
And to continue that optimism, we then trade AJ for a first and a third next year..

Yeah, that choice of theirs gave us a shot at another high-potential 1st round pick
If Edmunds turns out to be special , then this could turn out to be a real sliding doors moment..
-
I think Ben has only another year left in him..
-
Not sure if he has 3rd or 4th round trade potential but if he does you would have to take it...
But likely that doesn’t happen so you roll the dice one more year and hope he shows considerable improvement....

I’m not saying I’m unhappy with what we got, but if the Bills do that trade with Denver, they end up with two more premium picks in the draft: pick 65 and Denver’s third, while effectively swapping 22 for 56.
Pick 65 wasn’t part of the trade in either scenario...

I understand that, but we would have traded only one second and got back one of the Broncos’ thirds.
I see the difference as considerable between the proposed deal for 5 and the actual deal for 7... guess we will agree to disagree

What’s interesting is that the Bills would not have given up much more (if any) to move up to 5. And that TB, not Buffalo, was the one who initiated the deal at 7, although I’m sure they had spoken. Good stuff.
Umm - pick 22 would have been required to go to 5...
No new Linebacker if that happens ...

I’m becoming more optimistic.
Hey it could be a worse...
Apparently we could be sitting here pretending that Mason Rudolph is going to be the guy after they picked him at 22..:

What other offer?
Do you have the details?
Im assuming he didn't turn down a $5M a year offer elsewhere to take the Bills $1m a year offer for 3 years...
