Whats there to get? They traded for a backup that recently was a 1st round pick. For essentially a 4th round pick. If they liked him coming out, there like him better than a QB option in the draft in the 4th round
They dropped 22 spots and now have a backup on a 1st round pick salary.
Waste

he was terrible. Their offensive scheme didn’t help. But he is basically going to be a middling backup.Agree. He is awful. Move makes total sense from Steelers perspective

Don't understand this move from Eagles perspective?
Only way it pays off is if Hurts misses seom time and Pickett looks good and then you trade him.
All they did was lose draft position and gain nothing.
What am I missing?

i'm sorry i don't want to be a putz but.. Diggs #'s dropped because we were spreading the ball around, plus badly thrown balls by josh!
Oh I know Josh missed him multiple times.
I think he can easily catch 100 balls next year even with a more balanced offense with Cook, Kincaid, and Knox.

Be dropped his contract and hasn't signed it yet.

So if Cook is injured, then you are ok with Ty and a 6th round RB being our backfield for the playoffs?
Yes. There hasn't been a RB that has moved the needle in the playoffs in what a decade or more. If Cook gets hurt they will just need yo adjust.

Maybe maybe not.
I admit I have a soft spot for Diggs because he had the balls to call out McDermott on his choice of OC. He has more heart and drive than most on the team.
But north of 30 for a WR can be a quick downhill trajectory. So you may be right. I'm really hoping he has a big bounce back year. He's been one of my favorites.

I have a feeling that, after signing Samuel, that they could go BPA in the first round, and take a WR with their 2nd or 4th pick.
That's certainly possible if there is a run on WR. Might also depend on whether Diggs was injured or not. They likely have a better idea than us why his numbers dropped.
If 2024 is his last year in Buffalo I have to believe they draft WR in the first round.

Normally I am not an advocate of drafting "BPA". I think most GMs that say they do lie anyways. At best it is usually BPA at a position of need.
However this year may be the year to just sit back and let the draft come to you.
As of today, the only starting spot open is Safety. That may yet be addressed in FA but even if not they can take one on day 2 with a little maneuvering. They can justify drafting backups and future replacements at most levels.
I'd be perfectly happy if Beane traded around to get the deep speed WR with size this team lacks. Then just take BPA the rest of the way. You could make an argument for just about every position even taking a backup QB that might have trade value in a year or two. OL, DL, RB, DB, and you can always use a backup LB for teams. Pick up a punter on day 3.

Dodson played better than I thought he would, but I didn't think he was playing as well as PFF was grading him.
Just have to hope Milano comes back to form and/or Williams is ready for more minutes
Maybe at least to start the season Milano and Williams platoon to ease Milano back into things.

How is this even a thing? Who in there right mind thinks Peterman should ever get under center and take a snap in the NFL?
McDermott did multiple times

Take the best punter in round 6.
WR or Edge in round 1. Those are the only positions that make sense.
-
I admit I had to look him up and watch a few highlights. Read every post.
I think the consensus is he is a solid possible upgrade over Davis.
Agree with others I am still taking a WR at 28 or a trade down. Still need a DT or edge in round two.
Maybe play the long game now and see if they can get a safety on the cheap.

Is he? The money does not say so. In 7 years he has 22 TD's. Davis has 27 in 4 years and has been a great playoff performer. Does this guy block? He just seems different to me, not a huge upgrade. Davis dropped the ball more than we like, sure but are you telling me this guy has no warts?
Who was throwing to this guy vs who was throwing to Davis?

In my opinion, that would be a bad pick. Go find video of Franklin falling twice running routes against air at the combine and watch him struggle through the “gauntlet” drill. He is also only 175lbs. Now, I acknowledge that doesn’t erase what he accomplished last year, but combined that would leave him off my list of options for round 1. Maybe at 60, I’d take him.
I hope you’re right, but I think you’re underestimating how much they will miss their rotational guys (Floyd, Phillips, Settle, and I think I’m forgetting someone.)
Floyd gets replaced in the second round. He was good but faded and was non existent after Halloween. Settle is terrible. Phillips was a nonfactor. They will find another DT body at some point - draft or scrap heap. Can't be much worse than Settle and Phillips were

Down is the play, in my opinion. Unless they pull a miracle in FA, the defense is going to take a step back this year - if Miller doesn’t return to some form close to what he was for the Bills before his injury, defense could be pretty bad. I would really need to be sure of the guy I want to trade next year’s 1st because it could be considerably higher than 28 next year.
I'm fine with trading down. That is what I would do. Just saying if a top 3 WR was there I could live with going after him and giving up next years first.
Defense will be fine and better than last year. Poyer and Hyde were not good. Milano will be back. DQ will be there all year. Bernard will have more experience. Miller can't be worse. Rousseau will be in a contract year. Go WR in the first and Edge in 2nd and they will be fine.

Agreed the Buffalo Bills have major problems in there secondary we let guys go for cap reasons only to waste money on backup quarterback like it matters and backup running back. If Bills fans wonder why don’t the Bills win the Super Bowl for all these years. Stuff like this is why the Bills were miss managed by Ralph Wilson and Terry Pegula with the management people they hire are flawed. The Bills have wasted money backups that are a dime a dozen like Cam Lewis who I would have cut last season his play was so bad the Bills give him a raise and especially Mitch Trubisky that were both a waste of money. I can find Mitch Trubisky on the street after the UFL season is over if I need a quarterback if Josh Allen potentially went down. It’s not like it matters if Josh Allen goes down the Bills is basically all over. Mitch Trubisky isn’t saving the Bills season. Mitch Trubisky failed with Chicago Bears and Pittsburgh Steelers but the Bills think they are the smartest team in the NFL and way over pay for Mitch Trubisky ridiculous. Oh I know Mitch Trubisky is a fine young man. You can see the Kansas City Chiefs are getting stronger and the Buffalo Bills are getting weaker by wasting what little cap space and money they have on backups. Oh I know Buffalo Super Fan the Bills are going to get that all in the NFL draft for pennies on the dollar keep telling yourself that as a Bills fan. This Bills fan says the Bills aren’t going to solve what they cut all in the draft. The Bills needed to focus on secondary help not backup quarterback and running backs in my opinion. Go Bills! Let’s Go BuffaloWhat major problems in the secondary?
The top 3 CBs and Johnson are all back. White was never going to start again. Dane was never anything special.
Poyer and Hyde were bad lady year.
Rapp is probably a small upgrade.
That leaves one starting salary that can one later or via the draft.
Now if you said edge, I would agree with you. I loathe bringing back Epenesa.
Lastly I generally agree they waste money on special teams. I would have not signed Lewis or this WR. Both are no better than an UDFA. I like the LB as a cheaper upgrade over Matakevich.

Can't see going 28 to 10. But if the right WR is there I would be fine giving up next year's 1 to get around 12-14. We are most likely going to be picking at 27-32 next year. So it's not really a very valuable #1.
The guy would have to be special though. Otherwise I actually advocate moving down in a deep draft for WR.

Cousins is a guy everyone loves to dunk on but he consistently gives you 4000+ passing yards, around 30 passing TD, and around 9 INT on average.
He's pretty good. Not elite but pretty good. Too bad SF is determined to prove Purdy is a real QB, because a Cousins/Shanahan reunion would have made the 49ers a real contender.
Yeah its that whole winning thing that he struggles with...career record 78-70. Allen's is 63-31.

Solid move.
One of McDermott's finest moments last season was letting this kid run out the clock against the Steelers. The game was not over but he let the kid get meaningful snaps in front of the home crowd. Rewarding a guy like this for hard work is one of McDermott's finest qualities.
He should be a very very good RB3 and maybe push to be RB2.

I don't understand this sentiment. They have an extremely overrated QB coming off a career threatening injury. At this point I still have Tampa winning that division.

Get younger. They just developed Benford into a starting caliber CB. They can find another late round pick for CB#4.
Now if the plan is to move Benford to safety and let Elam start at CB then I'd be fine with Levi on a cheap deal.

Floyd and Davis count. Morse, Neal, Poyer, Hines do not. Trubiskey was cut so he doesn't count. Hollins and Morrow's dollars likely don't make the cutoff of around 3 million.
So does Dane Jackson and so will Dodson
This is a guy you sit and wait. Maybe if he hasn't signed a deal by mid-July you give him a call.

No.
You can't trade dead cap.
The Browns just inherited the bad contract and got a high draft pick for doing it. They had the cap space to absorb the stupid salary.
