Ethan in Cleveland

Sign me up! I swear I will not start a thread that asks when will McDermott be gone.

Agree. Simmons would be the guy to go after. Hyde is a great story and had a great career here. I'd say no at this point. But my guess is he will be added to the PS after week 1. That way no guaranteed contract and he can skip training camp. He will be the break the glass emergency safety if anyone gets hurt.

I'd shake his hand and tell him how great he was and how much pain he caused. I don't get autographs from anyone.

At a very cursory level it appears Benford makes fewer mistakes and Elam makes more plays. Elam has 4 INT compared to Benford's 3 with Beford getting far more playing time. Two of Elams's picks have been in the postseason too. Elam needs to learn not to grab so much. Would like to see Elam win the CB spot and let Benford get some snaps at safety. If Benford wins the job then maybe let Elam get some snaps at nickel. Probably a make or break year for Elam. Benford's contract is up at the end of 2025 and they can keep Elam until 2026 on his rookie deal. If Benford wins the job, probably will get a pay increase and extension next year.

I don't know how there are McDermott apologists left. Diggs caught over 100 balls and had over 1100 yards. That is going to be very difficult to replace on the cheap.

I heard this upcoming Thursday

I think the league is moving to bigger DBs not smaller ones. Sauce is 6'3". Elam and Benford are both 6'1". All 3 CB taken in first round were 6 ft or taller.

Agree. My guess is whoever is better at special teams - Hollins vs Shorter will make it. Agree with the other 5. Doubt they keep 7 WR especially if the CB they drafted late is the primary return guy. I don't think this group is great but when you add the group of TEs and RBs they have, they can have a very balanced offense and create mismatches all over the field. I think the only downside is they may not have enough WR talent to win the few shootout games they get into every year.

Your grandfather didn't watch sports. He listened to baseball on the radio after fighting in WWII. The world moves one. People that think the hits in that video clip are to be glorified really are disturbing to me. I know some that harken back for the old days aren't glorifying violence. I understand some are just frustrated as we all are at times with the ticky tack perosnal foul calls. But some on here really are glorifying these type of hits and it's a bit sickening. Saying Brady wouldn't have "survived". What does that even mean? The star players we all want to watch can now play for years longer because they can stay healthy. The reason the NFL is the king of all sports is because they eliminated almost all of that.

He's obviously a HOF talent but he wasn't when he was with the Bills. I guess I took the question as who from those teams would you want now. Well I would not want the Bills' version of TO over a guy like Evans or even Johnson. I would still want the heart and soul that was Fred Jackson. He would be lethal paired with Cook. I understand Kyle but we already have a good DT. We need an edge rusher. I chose Schobel as he is my number 1 underrated Bill of all time. That said peak Mario Williams was better than Schobel ever was. I'd be happy with either playing edge for us now.

They did but it's not the generally accepted idea of who was a drought player. I think most people think it is a Bills player that never played a playoff game for the Bills.

Isn't he going to be number zero? Seems cruel to donate $0

Neither of those are drought era players. Both played in the playoffs. And it's drought not draught.

Fred Jackson Aaron Schobel

It is just a roster filling move. Nothing more. They needed cheap camp bodies and he is still young. Almost no downside. And I could care less about the locker room stuff. All I care about is if they can play. Solid post draft signing.

They have a good stable of running backs but their OL can't stay healthy.

Agreed. Jets are the real competition for the AFC East

Same as every other team

You forgot and who are worthy!

Hmmm...I don't get that perception reading this thread

Jones at one point was far better than Spector ever will be. That may not be the case now but I don't see how Spector is a lock for the 53. I doubt Smoot makes the 53. Camp body so Miller can rest.

I like it! Low risk. Has more talent than most of the WRs on the team now. Maybe McD's process and team culture here will work.

Wish him nothing but the worst. Amazing that a guy who cheated on his sport is now caught cheating in life. Shocking! Fyi...as he is not a Bills, this does not count as a negative post in my new found era of Bills positivity...

They will be able to afford it. Torrence will still be on his rookie deal. If the Georgia kid is playing center he will be cheap. And Dawkins replacement will probably be on a rookie deal for several years. Then you pay Brown for a few years then as Torrence and the new LT need to get paid you move on from Brown. Easier said than done but they can pay Brown if he earns an extension.
