He's certainly a good player. I don't really know what led to them trying to trade him/cutting him so I'd want to know what that's all about but assuming there's no major issue there, I wouldn't be surprised if he's out of our price range. If he's willing to take like $4 mil or less, I'd probably be interested.

never know.. lotta guys taking 1 year low price deals just to get to 2022

Reggie?  He was great, but does he have anything left?

guy still could probably pull out and block something at the other end of the bar..

[So if we trade our first and second for the 18th pick who would you take]

Pretty sure McBeanes will stick to their 3 year old process of continually improvjng the roster, position group by position group and position by position.  Great example is punter.  Did they really need to dump Corey B?   No.  But they found a guy more consistent with inside the 20 kicks ..  marginally better.. so they swapped out for him.  This is what the process is.  They resist single shiny overpriced objects in favor of multiple incremental improvements.   

 

Love it.  Trust it. 

[good watch I just found - Kurt Warner breaks down Josh Allen Bills vs Broncos]

Broncos were a pretty weak, beat up team when the Bills played them....especially on defense.  I wouldn't put a lot of stock in analytics of that game.    Now Josh's game winning (shb) drive against a solid Az. secondary, now that was impressive. 

 

Just sayin'

6’4”, 245 LBs. 27 years old. Played with Allen at Wyoming.

 

As long as this isn’t the only move at tight end, I support it.

 

He looks like a younger, cheaper Kroft replacement.

 

Knox, Hollister, Sweeney isn’t enough. I hope they still try to acquire Ertz or draft a guy.

nah, i think Beane is done at TE.  They drafted and like Knox and are going with him this year.  no expensive shiny toys at TE this year

[John Ross as WR replacement for JohnBrown]

Goodwin - type.   straight ahead fast, thats about it, from what I understand. deep safety takes him away.

I pray that Beane nails the 21 draft. It’s too bad to see Milano chase the money as opposed to winning a Super Bowl but with his injury history I can understand why he wants to be paid

Exactly.  This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to create what they call "generational wealth" that if managed properly will support his  entire downstream family for 50-75  years.   Gotta go for the big guaranteed amount.   He blows another pec or hammy and its downhill from there...

That is the last thing Chris Simms is trying to do.  He's got a great record when it comes to evaluating college QBs. 

yeah, Simms is a straight shooter; doesn't really seem to be one of those to say things to just stir up views and clicks.   I've never seen Wilson play so there's that, so there will be a bias towards Lawrence bc of his exposure, but Josh had no exposure and he turned out better than all in his draft class.  

[Jordan Phillips tweets about Bills’ Mafia getting so mad about Watt.]

yeah, once they pay Murray that team will fall apart.. no way they can keep all these $15m per year guys .. Murray will not get them to the promised land and they will end up in salary cap jail to boot

[Watt to Cardinals (bills were Cardinals biggest competition per report)]

I imagine his agent told him this was his last big contract, so probably should go for the biggest $$ .  Can't imagine Beane was offering $31m ... he doesn't have $15m cap hit in 2021 to spend..  if he's spending $15m per year, spend $12 on Milano and get a much younger guy.. 

 

I'm not big on giving big $$ contracts to aging shiny objects... you end up with just them and a bunch of rookies and UDFAs 

[If any, which player should have their position switched?]

not gonna judge a 21 year old just yet, but 2 pro bowls don't make any sense either...

Imagine yourself, an avid life-long Bills fan, grew up in WNY, superstar DE, went to UB, love the Bills through and through. 

 

Then you get drafted to the Cardinals, and have a great career out in the desert. Make tons of money, get some accolades, but the team is bad now. Eventually, you ask for and secure your release. 

 

You can sign anywhere, and the Bills are suddenly a great team, 1 game away (and maybe 1 defensive playmaker away) from winning that first Super Bowl you used to dream of as a kid. 

 

Minus the first super Bowl and suddenly being good teams parts, Watt is in that position with Green Bay right now. 

makes sense to me.  

[Re-sign or “wave goodbye” series: Player 7 - Matt Barkley]

Keep him.  He and his wife are a blessing to the organization.  He can play enough for a game or two.  If Josh goes down for the season, the team is f'd.  Simple as that in todays NFL for any team with a $40m QB.

I just didn’t have the size and probably not enough athleticism to play at the next level.  Part of me does wish that I picked a D3 school and tried out for a spot because sometimes I think I would’ve had an outside chance.  But who knows?

agreed, but back then (in my case, I'm pretty old)  if you blew out a knee they really didn't know how to fix them very well..  so best to pass in my case

Through middle and high school.  Wasn’t good enough to play at a college level

I was good enough, but not good enough for the recruiters to give me a scholarship to play (Colgate).  So I didn't as I was pretty banged up coming out of HS (DE, OT) and could see myself getting blown up pretty good by much bigger guys at the college level ( I was young and lighter for my grade).   Would have been fun to try to earn the scholarship after 1 year, but glad I did not.  

 

Pro game is very recognizable to me albeit executed with so much more size, complexity, speed and talent.   The game is still pretty much the game.

Im sure some guys will get tagged but it’s a lot harder to tag guys if the cap is going down $15-20m.  Does look like there’s gonna be more edge rushers available than usual.  Ngakoue, Dupree, Judon, Barrett look like they’re gonna hit the market.  

yep.  franchise-tagging guys won't really happen this year.   You could see lots more trades for picks than normal to dump salary and manage the cap.
