Ethan in Cleveland

Would love to see VanPran be good enough to start at center and leave our other 4 spots intact. Hope he gets a legit chance to run with the starters in TC.

In the next two years White(remainder of his dead cap), Miller, Dawkins, Epenesa, and Milano will be gone and their contracts mostly off the books. Bass may be gone too. I would let Rousseau walk barring a big improvement this year. Good player but not great. Let someone else overpay. I would extend Brown paying him around 10th overall. Cook is the hardest decision for me. He looks really talented. But in the end you can't pay top QB and top RB money. I might tag him to get one more year at a high cost but without the long term commitment. I would try to get Knox to extend at a cheaper rate. Bernard is so much better than I thought he would be. But he is still small and they can find a cheaper option in the draft. And that leaves Shakir. Oh this is tough too. In a perfect world he continues to blossom and you extend at a reasonable rate. If he is a 80+ catch slot guy try to work out a deal that is reasonable for both sides. However WR money is getting out of hand. He's probably another guy that they will have to let walk. Draft OT, Edge, Edge, WR, and LB with their first and second round picks the next two years.

If Bishop can't start that will be one hell of a wasted pick

Pass rush from front 4. DE is the worst position group on the team right now. All that can change if Miller is even 80% of his prior self. If he is as bad as he was last year they should just cut him after the first 8 weeks of the season. Can anyone one the roster get double digit sacks???

If you go by their all time prime regardless of when they played with the Bills, then... Owens Lofton Moulds Reed Butler Evans

You can make an argument Burrow should be on the list as it was just a wrist injury. But I'd be fine if he was left off with an asterisk. The others don't belong on the list even if healthy. White and Miller came back very slow and no where near pre injury form. We still don't even know what injury Milano had. If he isnt even practicing yet it was way worse than just a broken bone.

Rodgers doesn't belong. Two wrongs don't make a right

The drop off in WR#1 is astounding. This board and Allen are going to miss Diggs on 3rd down. I agree with OP there is massive improvement in WR 3-5. So while I think Diggs will be missed terribly, the group overall might be good enough when you add in Cook, Kincaid, and Knox. Brady just needs to design it and Allen needs to execute.

Taron is top 100. He's the best nickel in the league. You just can't include Milano as we have no idea how he will come back from injury. Before the injury he was top 100 and playing at an All-Pro level. We have a lot of guys that are just outside the top 100 - Dawkins, Cook, Oliver, Jones(top 3 1 tech DT), Douglas. Kincaid and Torrence both will be top 100 by the end of the year. Bernard might have a shot as well.

Knox has burned me two years in a row. But he's one of my favorite players. Our WR group is a committee Kincaid 85 Knox 50

Guardians baseball! Hope they can land a starting pitcher before trade deadline!

I'm trying to have a more open mind when it comes to ST and roster utilization. I think what is driving more ST only roles on the roster is the limited practice time. I don't think they literally have enough practice time to teach a rookie LB the defense and special teams. That wasn't the case in the past. Now I don't believe the punt catchers and return guys need much practice time at all. It's not that hard a skill to master and it's more raw talent than teachable skill. Additionally, they have been doing it in college most likely. However whoever is the leader of the punt and punt coverage teams will need more practice time. These guys need to learn the blocking schemes, watch film of their opponent, and make sure guys are doing what they are supposed to do. As for the gunners, I don't think this requires much practice either. Certainly not much during the week. So in the end I am ok with a guy like Matakevich who is useless as a LB being on the roster if he is your captain on punt and punt return. The return guy should always be a back of the roster WR who can play if needed. The gunners should be a couple of corners that can play. Having a RB as a gunner who can't run or catch is terrible roster use. So in the end I can live with a Matakevich type guy. Maybe that is Spector this year who is a far more capable LB than Matakevich ever was. After that the gunners and return guys should be able to play WR and CB in a pinch. It's the perfect use for late round draft picks. And who knows maybe one of those guys turns into a Benford. As for the useless player this year, it will probably be Hollins. They will keep him and he will do nothing as a WR. I would keep Shorter over Hollins but I think with the contract they will keep Hollins and try to sneak Shorter on the PS.

Awesome! I drove up from Columbus to that game as well. Bills lost. Lions ran a flea-flicker for a TD on the second play of the game. Cool to see Sanders run though.

I have a few..I've posted some before First was flying my 10 and 9 year old sons on a red eye to Chicago from Portland to see the Bills Bears OT win. Second was attending Seahawks 49ers NFC Championship game Third was flying cross country to watch Bills destroy the Patriots in the second coldest Bills game. Last and the best was watching my son as a Freshman come from behind and win his team's 4x400 HS division championship!

What did he do to hurt the team in Green Bay? He was paid more than Brady so he ate up a bit more cap space. That's all I recall. But just like you I'm a casual fan of the Packers and only followed from afar. He got some of his former teammates to join him in NYC. Never heard he wasn't a good teammate. Now don't get me wrong. The guy has a string of failed relationships from family to girlfriends and his conspiracy crap is grotesque. But commitment to winning doesn't seem to be one of his flaws.

Lol, if Allen wins only one I think we'd still be happy!

If the Bills don't win the SB because of the punter they keep, they have far bigger issues...

Thanks. I didn't know that

Greg Bell? Agree with all the rest. I don't recall anything bad about Bell and he helped us get Bennett. Great list!

This is as good a list of despicables as any other. No redeeming qualities for any of them. There are also so many more good choices people posted. My inclusion of Levy and Talley were specific to their failures in SuperBowl XXV. Along with No Goal and 13 seconds, XXV has shaped the narrative of Buffalo sports for over three decades now. Sorry the pain of XXV will not go away until Allen lifts a Lombardi Lol...that would be a hand with only 3 fingers!

That was a horrible drop on a beautiful pass. People forget that wasn't the last play though. Kelly threw an INT at the goal line on the next play.

Good not great so far and can't stay healthy. Great is 10+ sacks. Still young and can be great. No reason to think he can't get better. 100% agree on picking up his 5th yr option

Lots of players, coaches, and GMs to choose from. But to date the biggest disappointment in Bills history is SuperBowl XXV. Thus my list... 1. Marv Levy - unpopular I'm sure but sorry he was outcoached in all four SuperBowls and cost us a Lombardi 2. Darryl Talley - multiple missed tackles in SuperBowl XXV 3. Scott Norwood - people feel bad for this guy. Why? He missed a makable kick and cost us a Championship 4. Peterman - ruined my birthday in LA. Worst player performance in NFL history In two years if the Bills have not won a SuperBowl then McDermott will be on this list for wasting the greatest QB in franchise history

He's only $2M now and $13M next year on his 5th year guarantee. If he only puts up 5-7 sacks this year and next then I let him walk after 2025. If he puts up 10+ sacks this year then I extend him before 2025 season. I'd rather pay a pass rusher than a MLB. Benford is going to be tricky. How much is he really worth? Yes he is a starting CB but is he just a good zone coverage guy? Is he a shut down corner, no? Signing him to an early team friendly deal makes a lot of sense. He's a 6th round pick and if you show him some love and commitment now maybe you can come to terms on a reasonable 3 year deal. That gives him another opportunity to get a large signing bonus.

They are good but not great players. I would pay Bernard and Benford for sure if you can get them at a reasonable cost. Rousseau will be interesting. Can't stay healthy but still young. Would love to see him get double digit sacks and keep him. Need to see it happen first.
