No thank you. We need speed and size on the outside. He is exactly what we don't need in the WR group.

5th year option, extend after next year is the most likely outcome. But not a slam dunk.
Agree. He is nothing special so far. Pick up the option and let him play it out just like Edmunds.

He is bad. Allen and company will eat him alive. However my guess is he doesn't make the final 53 roster.

I like Pittsburgh and they fact they are always trying to be a contender and never settle but at some point they have to realise the problem is their offense and need to apply the appropriate finances on that side of the ball.
They had a franchise QB paid at top dollar for over a decade. They invested in OL. Took a RB in first round. They have had multiple productive WRs. They never found a good TE though.
Like moat teams, they just screwed up the QB position after their star retired. They are going for the quick fix with Wilson, much like Buffalo did with Bledsoe.

Steelers have a franchise plan and they stick to it.
Wilson with a run game decent WR group and a good defense will be tough to beat.

Glad this is not the Bills doing this.
Four years ago Bills signed Matakevich to a 2 year $7.5M contract. That was just as bad as this 49ers contract.
In his entire Bills career did he ever make one play? I swear the only time I saw him on the field was him falling down at the goal line as the Jets scored a punt return TD for OT win.

That is exactly what I think is going to happen. I think, and again I say THINK, we have done all we are going to do until the draft. Post June 1st he will look at the roster then see about adding on.
Guys this is an almost rebuild year. We went all in and failed and as Beane said "the Bill comes due" and it did this year. This is why all offseason last year some of us said make the cuts then, don't "run it back". No Hyde, or poyer, and make some needed cuts and rely on the draft so that THIS offseason we would have taken the hit and could invest.
Sorry, can u tell me who we have lost that matters? Hyde was retiring no matter what. Poyer was bad. We all knew Davis was gone. I wish Epenesa was gone too.
Can u explain how this is a rebuild when the vast majority of the core players are still here??

This is so gross on so many levels.
I'm not going to post how I really feel becuase this is not a forum for politics and I don't want any negative points.

If $10 Million per year is the high end of the RB market, I think we can afford a cheap power back to compliment James Cook later in free agency like Dobbins, Foreman, or AJ Dillon.
Agree. Go after Dillon

I mean, I would love it if we got Dane back for one more year a la Levi Wallace.
I do think it's notable that after Day 1, the signings were bringing back expired vets, meaning that they probably had an offer from Beane, waited to see what they got and ultimately came back.
Great no one else wanted Epenesa or Lewis so we just had to keep them....

If he is there and there is interest then you trade down.
Losing the 3rd round comp pick makes me want to trade down even more than usual.
If there is not a run on WRs ideal situation would be to trade down into the first few picks of the second round and maybe flip our fourth comp pick into a high 3rd round pick. So move down maybe 5 or 6 spots from round 1 to round 2 then move up 50 or so spots into round 3. About 80-100 draft point value to move down and still be in the top 10 of second round. That's enough value to move from 4th round to 3rd round.

One superstar TE is, not three...

Was going to say, not the best representation of English football. Chelsea are nicknamed 'The Pensioners' and their fans have always been more well off. Definitely not blue colour. Newcastle fans, on the other hand would have been more representative.
Definitely seemed that way

You mean Newcastle, not Northampton, right? How strong was the Singha?!
Lol...good catch...I swear I just started typing and the auto suggest picked Northampton. I don't even know if that is a team...lol

I'm in London right now crushing it in the gym 4 hours ahead of Buffalo.
Knowing what we know now, on Day 2, what would your plan be if you were GM?
Me, I think I sit tight at this point and let things settle.
Beane plugged some holes.
If I'm him, I see what happens at safety and edge over the coming weeks.
My guess is there will be some value at safety.
If I had to make a move, I would make a run at Chase Young ( see what I did there?) and see if he is willing to go mercenary and sign a 2 year deal (that really is a one year prove it) like Floyd did last year.
BTW, saw Chelsea vs Northampton last night. Must say it was fun but not really thrilling like so many soccer fans suggest. Atmosphere was more polite than raucous. The Northampton fans were in one section and shouted the entire match(did I get that right?). The Chelsea folks mostly sat and watched. It was a Monday night. No beer in the stands and their main beer was Singha which is their sponsor.

And they brought them both back. Good news. WR, S, Edge, C/OG, DL, OT, LB.
I agree with some of this list. I would just move edge to second round and safety to 3rd or fourth round. I am all for drafting two WRs. I agree with C/G. I would pass on OT and draft another CB or RB. Depth LB for special teams makes sense.
I also would still draft the best punter and cut Martin

Ugh. Great. 2 years of overpaid and overrated for a 32+ year old guy that won’t stay healthy for the 2 years. And we wonder why we get into cap trouble. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh.
Don't agree with you on anything in this post. He had a torn pec that is a freak accident not an age issue. The Bills were never in cap trouble. They haven't gotten rid of anybody that they didn't want to because of age and injury.
That said I applaud your contrarian post. It's fine to disagree with the board sentiment and with Beane or McDermott.

Awesome!!!!
Love this move!
Since the ink is not dry, Beane please change your mind and let Epenesa walk.

Doesn't change anything for me.
My plan was bring back Jones which may still happen.
Then draft WR, Edge, WR with top 3 picks
Bringing back Epenesa is dumb. Hate the move. It however may signal Jones is not coming back and they will draft DT instead of edge.

So who did you want instead?Rookie draft pick and some other veteran free agent. I've said since end of season edge was as big a need as WR.

How’s the saying go?
Draft Develop Re-sign …
I know a lot of people won’t like it because he isn’t Bruce Smith ..: but he is probably as good as they can reasonably expect to sign in FA this season
Um, he never developed! He is awful. He has two splash plays a year and then disappears for most of the season.

$10M per, not worth it. He completely fell off towards the end. Get some young blood in here.
100% agree. He was a good signing for last year while Miller wasn't able to play. He really faded late in the season

Getting paid is getting paid, but going from the Bills to the Texans then when the Texans start looking like they do now to go to the Giants...that's rough.
Yeah I agree. Texans are on the rise I'm surprised he didn't stay there.
What if Allen and Mahomes swapped exact situations?

Swap the head coaches not the QBs.
To be fair to McDermott, which I rarely am, Reid was a bust in Philadelphia too. He choked worse than McDermott ever did in Philadelphia.
Maybe McDermott figures it out. Maybe he doesn't. No matter what we think Pegula seems committed to him. We will see just how committed if they have another early playoff exit.
