  1. Starting players move on ( or get moved on) every year … I can’t buy there isn’t even a consideration of moving on from a 32 yr old C when they are squeezing every dollar
  2. Might be in the mix … don’t know why he would be ahead of Bates though ? Was a tackle at College
  3. Well… I’m sure they would prefer not to cut Morse …but they need to find $80m in savings … and even with that long laundry list noted above they still don’t get there.. I would also prefer them to get there without restructuring Diggs and Miller any further … so tough moves like this might have to be made… They had the opportunity to move on from Bates 2 years back … but elected to keep him and match the Bears tender .. so they must have seen something that perhaps we don’t see as yet …we don’t really know what he has at C as Morse hasn’t missed a game there in years …
  4. They are paying him $4m a year which is not back up money..,:make him earn it this year… Take a guy Day 3 to see if he can be the man next year
  5. Move on from Morse … no need to kick that down the road any further …they must have kept Bates around for a reason … Restructuring Knox concerns me … I would be looking to trade him after this season … he has more value elsewhere than to the Bills … but they can’t trade him this year
  6. There are a number of safeties available this year in FA …last year demonstrated that outside a couple of elite guys at the top of the list, the rest go cheap…They will find a solid contributor in that $3-4 m range …no need to go for someone with an injury concern .. I like the draft this year as well…. take a swing at a long term guy in rounds 3-4 … don’t think it needs to be higher than that ..
  7. They have got 18 of their 22 starters under contract for 2024 ( 19 if you include Miller)… The other ones missing are Davis, Hyde and DQJ…. Yes there is work to be done, and Beane needs to have a good offseason … the DL and Safety positions need to be reworked to the same extent he did last year with the OL… But they still have a lot of good pieces in place, and I’d be expecting them once again to be the heavyweights of the division and knocking on the 1 seeds door for 2024 …
  8. Bills $51m over is assuming a figure of $242 M which is $18m more than last years cap… This may not be “official” as yet .. but has been reported by the usual suspects that seem to get fed all the inside info ( Rappaport )
  9. Prefer Jones ..don’t think either are coming…. Back to Von
  10. That won’t matter ,,,he will still take $3m versus $1m…
  11. Case Keenum got $3m last year … Someone will still pay Trubisky that much at least in 2024 …
  12. So should they still sign Chris Jones ?
  13. So the question is .. what is a “reasonable deal” to offer him this year? someone mentioned Austin at $36m for three years as a comparison … I wouldn’t be to unhappy with that …doubt he takes less This is Morse’s last year … I think that a mix of paying three starters and having two on rookie deals is not a bad outcome … I think Dawkins has got a couple of years left in him still … pay him another 2-3 years
  14. The Bills are looking to pay the minimum for the backup QB position based on Kyle Allen’s deal of $1.2m… Trubisky made $8m last year … and whilst he probably won’t see that again … i can see him still getting $3m somewhere…Case Keenum got that last year …
  15. Hope he leaves the Chiefs .. but I’ll believe it when it happens
  16. Like the Packers at 25/1… Love them to win the Division over favourite Lions … Packers should have beat the 49ers … threw that game away …think they will have learn a lesson
  17. There is always next year John… Its the great thing about sports
  18. Like the Bills right? Annoying year … third seed Chiefs rested their players Week 18 whilst the Billa are battling to get in to the playoffs…
  19. Go Bills ..
  20. Vernon Butler? Possibly … I don’t even think Star was injured in 2020 .. but opted out due to Covid just before preseason games…so it made it difficult to replace him
  21. Star Lotulelei “vital player “… that’s a stretch … although he was paid like one
  22. You quoted the wrong person… I didnt say this ..
  23. Edit - apologies I misread your post … though you were saying they “ had a bad roster “.. I’ll just say that the Chiefs have done better in the draft the last two years … I think you under estimate what Beane has done though …
