Ethan in Cleveland

Agree not signing him long term but it is a mistake not to use the tag on him for one year. It will have no effect on their ability to sign free agents. And now they just have another hole to fill.

Peters will be a first ballot HOF inductee And somehow people still defend the Bill's not paying him. It's supply and demand. He had the leverage based on his play. In a few weeks teams will be cutting guys who signed contracts and no one will have any issue with it. He was top 4 LT in the league for over a decade. There is no defense for Buffalo trading him away

Beane and McD blew the comp pick when they let Gilmore walk. They could have had an extra 3rd round pick just by cutting a couple of bums towards the end of the year. They will not be in a position to get a comp pick this year or next. Even if they let J.Phillips and Lawson walk they will sign guys to replace them. It will be very difficult to be net negative when they only have a few guys that will be leaving.

One is so hard to choose. I would offer up five guys 1. Mario Williams 2. Aaron Schobel 3. Jason Peters 4. Lee Evans 5. Fred Jackson

Beane has traded up repeatedly. Why do you think he would stop now?

Spiller was a top 15 talent and is a very good example of how not drafting for need can hurt you. There was not much controversy that he got picked at #9. The controversy was that the Bills picked him at #9 with two good backs on the roster already. In 2020, Spiller is probably picked between 25 and 45. I say this due to the general devaluing of the position, the fact this draft class is heavy with front 7 defenders, and other than New England I can't name a team in the league that needs a first round RB. Seattle maybe but they need o-line and d-line even more.

I'd be fine trading out of the first round for an additional pick in this years draft and next. To me there is little difference between player 15 and player 45. Now if there is a run on a couple of positions a guy that may be a top 15 talent could fall to 22. If not, getting a extra second this year and a first next year would be fine with me. Or how about swapping spots with Detroit and dropping from 22 to 35 and getting Slay. The only downside to trading down is losing the team option for a fifth year. I like Chaisson at 22 - Gil Brandt has him going to the Pats at 23 in his latest mock

Love it!!! Once less pre-season game fans don;t have to waste money on. More money for the players. Now just get rid of the divisions and play every team every two years. No more playing the same team twice in the regular season. Top 7 in each conference make the playoffs. Exactly. The worse scenario is giving a weak division winner a home playoff game against a WC team with a better record. Get rid of the divisions and then just rank 1-7.

Keep Kroft. He will be a fine # 2. Cut Smith. Bring back Croom or sign another pass catching TE. Forget the blocking TE and FB on this roster. Carry an extra Rb and an extra swing OT.

For a 2nd round pick, make that deal right now.

True but you then have to be able to sell it

I know I was just teasing. You can't live in Buffalo and not also be living in Western NY. I know upstate NY is a silly generality meaning anything other than NYC. Just as silly and erroneous to say all of the Pacific NW is the same or even that all of California is the same. Seattle and Portland are far far different than the rest of the states of Washington and Oregon.

Am I the only one that doesn't know what the difference between Buffalo and WNY are?

Depth of the draft is at edge and WR the positions most of need. You will get the same quality player at 35 as they will at 22 and an extra pick. 2nd round picks would be cheaper. The downside is the length of the contract the team can offer.

Sign AJ Green Cut Trent Murphy Tag Phillips Draft Chassion OLB LSU Trade Out of the first round and pick up additional draft picks this season and next

Curious. You think Njoku is worth less than a 3rd? You think TE group is not fine and if so what do you want to do about it? I assume you would want to cut Kroft and sign another FA. You don't think a 3rd round pick will be a significant contributor this year? My hunch is the first three picks in the draft will all play significant snaps if not starters - at DE, OLB, and either DT or WR depending on what they do with Phillips and in free agency.

My point was that new regimes move guys for reasons other than talent. Bills got great return for a guy they were not going to sign long term Browns aren't trading him for a fifth unless there is more to the story

He is worth at least a third round pick but I would not go higher than a fifth. The reason being unlike last year the Bills are fine at TE if they do nothing. A third round pick will be a significant contributor if not starter on defense. As others said, if I'm the new coach in Cleveland I'm not trading Njoku until I at least see him in person in training camp and probably well into the season. But it made no sense for new HC McD to trade away Sammy and make the offense worse. Some guys rightly or wrongly just want their type of player and maybe Njoku is just not a good fit in Cleveland.

Neither Tua or Herbert is ready to play in 2020. Best to keep Stafford, not take the dead cap hit, and let him play in 2020.

Coryell and Flores both deserve to be in and should have been in years ago. I don't think Cowher is deserving but I can live with it if Flores and Coryell were voted in. I don't think Levy was worthy of HOF either. I was shocked he got voted in so fast. As for Johnson I have no idea why it took this long. Only thing I can think of is the committee may have felt he was going to unretire and come back to coach again.

I have a professional career, two kids, and other hobbies. Kid's size and stats look good.

I'd pass. Levi is younger, cheaper, and better. I'd be in favor of bringing K. Johnson back on a 3 year deal. Could be interesting as a backup FS for Hyde. He played his best football in a zone defense. I bet the switch to FS would be possible, not easy but possible. There are no good backup options for Hyde on the roster now.

Hmmm. I will take a closer look

When is the QB not the main ingredient? I'm in no way suggesting TT is the future in San Diego. Hell he could get beat out by the rookie they draft. But if he stays as error free as he has been in the past, he gives the Chargers a shot to be competitive for a WC spot late into the season. As for my RB prediction I was way off in yards but correct in which player would have a better year. McCoy posted 4.6 YPC which is a full 1 YPC more than Gore. Gore had 130 more yards but on 60+ more carries. Only he and Andy Reid know why he didn't get that many carries as the season wore on. Fumbles? Seems odd as he was never a chronic fumbler. Hope he gets a chance somewhere.

I could see Denver making a leap too. But I'm not sold on any of their skill position players on offense and I really liked Noah Fant in 2019 draft. Agree Lock looked like he was on the right path but it will be wait and see just as it was with Josh.
