This season is a wash. Too much turnover in one offseason. This is a straight rebuild.
I dont see it that way at all.
Upgraded at WR2 with Curtis Samuel
CB is arguably better with a full year of Douglas and Benford
LB is much improved with Milano back
OL and DL will be virtually the same.
Kincaid with another year is better, same with RB
The only wild cards are WR and Safety (which I am not concerned about at all with McDermott)
Grab one of the better WR's ( or draft 2 WR's) and we could be better next year than we were this year plus tons of cap space next season.

I would move next years first and this years first for one of the top 3 receivers in this draft for sure.
We are arguably 1-2 players away from being top contenders. WR2 plus the ability to take over for Steph is on the top of Beans list

All those day three picks should be fighting with Hollins, Morrow, Lewis, Rapp, etc for jobs.
So you lose Morse, Poyer, Hyde, White, Floyd, Davis and that equals better? Those guys must have sucked.
Bills must think McGovern is a suitable replacement for Morse
Poyer and Hyde had lost a step. I anticipate our safeties will be better this year.
White hasnt played in 2 years. Really doesnt change anything
We will more than make up for Davis in the draft
Floyd might be the only piece that we "lost"- but a 90% Von this year replaces what he did.
So yes, with those moves, another year in both systems, Milano coming back, and Kincaid and Bernard taking another step yes they will be better.

I think we really need 1 or 2 more elite players, which is why I am advocating for team move way up in the draft in for elite WR.
We are one WR, and one DB/Safety away from being elite.
Offense - Josh, Diggs, Cook, Kinkaid, WR2 is a very solid group
Defense- Oliver, Jones, Bernard, Milano, ( maybe Von if he returns to form), one more stud in the secondary, and cant forget RousseauAll those guys aren't elite but they are at least very good players.

I have no pity for a guy who has everything he has and cant get it right.
Simple as.
It's a paradox because the more he has, the more discipline he has to have.
Easy to say no to things you cant get
When you can get anything you want in the world, its harder.

Not ready to give up on Davis just yet. Needs another year imo
Agree 100%. Guys with his work ethic and his potential* do not come around often.
I realize he hasn’t played up to his potential yet, but scares me to give him up
-
Someone that I don’t think is getting any publicity is Michael Thomas.
He is a star when healthy*. Saints are going to cut him to free up space.
He just turned 30 but has almost no mileage from the last three seasons due to injury.
Could see a 2 year or even 3 year deal that is reasonable.
He catches absolutely everything that is thrown his way and at 6’3 he gives us that red zone threat we really haven’t had.

Several things can be simulataneouly true.
- It does not make sense to give up draft assets and $11 mm of cap space to sign Derrick Henry
- Item 1 is not the only option regarding Henry.
Trading for Henry is, IMO, a one season decision. The only way it might make sense depends on what the teams plans are with Ed Oliver. Oliver and Henry have almost exactly the same Salary Cap impact for the 2023 season. Both Henry and Oliver can likely be replaced with much more cost effective assets in any NFL draft. The Bills can't just cut Oliver and recover the cap space. If the Bills plan to move on from Oliver after the 2023 season AND if the Titans in an effort to accomodate Henry were willing to trade Henry straight up for Oliver, the question becomes a one season question. Would the Bills be better in 2023 with Henry, or with Oliver. Personally I think the anwser is they would be better with Henry.
The Bills can restructure his contract if they signed him.
Also, elite players help win Superbowls.
Henry is a top 3 back in the league, paired with Josh, Diggs, Knox, etc. our offense gets very scary.
People think Henry was good with zero semblance of a passing game, imagine teams having to plan to stop those Bills.
It can be true that we would get way more value out of his 11m per year than the Titans ever did. This doesn’t mean he would have more yards, TDs, etc with the Bills but that his presence would mean more because of everything else that needs to be accounted for.
why is everyone so scared of the CAP? We can get 50 million under the cap without doing much at all

I will never understand the lack of willingness by fans to add elite talent to the roster.
Exactly, adding Henry makes our offense even more dangerous.
the combo of him and Cook would be devastating for defenses to account for.
people act like they are spending their own money on the roster. The cap is mostly a myth, we can sign him if we want

They reduce the cap hit by assigning his trade as post June 1st. They'd still have to eat 11,856,111 this year and around $26 million dollars worth of dead cap over the next 4 years. Essentially they would be paying him 7.5 million dollars a year for the next 5 years to not play here.
This isn’t nearly as bad as I thought.

Problem is that this draft stinks overall, but it especially stinks at the WR position. It's also a bad FA class for WRs. All the best college wideouts were freshmen or sophomores. If Diggs forces a trade, the Bills will have to take a major step backward next year and hope for a premiere WR in the 2024 draft.
Yeah, it’s not ideal.
Losing Diggs would hurt, but not sure it would equate a huge step back.
If we lose Edmunds and Poyer there is significant cap space with other restructures.
Bring in a top Veteran for 2 years on a reasonable contract (OBJ anyone)Bring back Beasley and run it with OBJ, Gabe, Shakir, and Beasley.
Draft a burner in the draft and let’s go

I have LOVED Diggs on this team. I am not one to think IG stuff really matters, but it’s also not nothing.
depending on how the Poyer and Edmunds deals work out, would Beane entertain the dead money hit for good draft picks we can use to replace him?
definitely not out of the realm.
remember they got rid of Darreus, Sammy Watkins, and others in one off season

My point was that teams find a way to sign anyone they want. Didn't say they're good signings
Exactly. Cap is “real” in the same way Santa is real.
kids/ casual fans think it’s real, you see him in movies and at the mall, but GM’s (parents) know the truth.
Spend a little cash over the cap to buy nice presents for your kids in full, if it’s “too expensive” maybe you throw it on a credit card to pay it down (extensions).
All while knowing 100% that your income (salary cap, tv deals) are all going up in the future.
ALWAYS a way to make any deal they want happen.

The NFL has this strange procedure for calling delay of game penalties when the play clock expires. Sometimes it seems a QB will have a full extra second, but not always.
With all the high-resolution technology available for almost everything else, why use this subjective approach? When the play clock expires, sound a horn (like in basketball) and have lights on the sidelines go on, so no one can mistake when the snap is late. This seems like a very easy, and fair, way to go.
Super easy fix, not a huge fan of the horn and lights, but just put a “pack” of some kind on the official who monitors the clock.
The pack vibrates as soon as the clock hits zero.
He doesn’t have to take his eyes off the ball.
the pack vibrates and ball isn’t snapped he throws the flag.
Simple

Ok- this is really going to hurt, (no way Beane does it because it’s core guys) but here is my idea.
We are at a crossroads and big time moves have to be made.
- Find a way to trade Tre White for at least a third (Benford playing as well as he did makes this a very tough but doable decision)
- Same with Ed Oliver try to trade him - too much money for too little production. A DL with Rousseau, Von, Jordan Phillips, Daquan Jones, Tim Settle is something we can work with
- Let Poyer walk unfortunately (love him but too much to re-sign)
- Morse is the toughest call. Lots of concussions, but he is very good when he’s healthy. Can we re-structure?
- Singletary walks, we rock with Cook and Hines next year
- Re- sign Edmunds to a solid back loaded deal. Dude is continuing to improve. We will regret it big time letting him go.
- Bring in Hopkins if you can restructure the contract to give him 3 years and lower the cap. (Only works if Tre and Oliver are both gone)
Draft
- Rd 1 (trade up with picks acquired from trades) top OL or Safety Prospect ( McD defense relies on really good secondary play)
- Rd 2 Best OL prospect if we went safety in the first round
-Rd 2 again due to trade up - OL
- Later Rds - Best WR with speed for opposite Diggs, Best corner option for depth since we move on from Tre

Quietly running around and doing workouts is so day and night different than actual physical contact drills.
And trust me I do want him back like everyone else here. If he was cleared to practice today it would most likely take a few weeks to get back into form.
Fingers crossed...
Micah has said a few times he is in phenomenal shape. If he is cleared he would play and play the entire game

Would hope they push the game back. Let’s get a good old 6pm night game.
5 more hours of plowing and preparation.
Challenge is can Cleveland actually get to Buffalo for the game. Guess they could stay somewhere east and drive in 45 minutes to the stadium on game day.

He’s too slow, mentally and physically to be a successful starting LB in the NFL. He constantly gets caught up in the wash and is in wrong position/gap. He does flash occasionally but not nearly enough to warrant an extension. I’ll predict we dump him and find his replacement in free agency.
Too slow physically? What are you talking about?

Edmunds is an arm tackler who has a slow reaction time diagnosing plays. His fortè is standing in the middle zone as a 6'5" scarecrow cutting off throwing lanes.
You say that like that’s not an elite skill.
Josh has said he literally has to avoid the middle of the field in practice.
Good luck replacing that

All Johnson had to do was turn his head around there
Andrew’s pulled Taron into him. Crafty play by the veteran

I was going to say the same thing. Those rookie cb's have done pretty well so far. Hill and Waddle are gonna be a huge test for them.
Def major test. I could see A lot of blitzing. Tua admitted he can’t see receivers sometimes. Line up the biggest guys on the line and get after him.
Trust Poyer and Hyde (if he’s ok) to stop the big play.
At the end of the day, the Dolphins have to keep up with the Bills offense. We can score 45 on any team

Bills Coverage Stuff that is Making me Grit my Teeth
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
Was listening to Joe Marino on the Locked On Bills podcast- he had a guest on one of his most recent shows who talked about Diggs. It brought to light, with data, something that I was feeling, but couldn't put my finger on.
Diggs has lost the ability to separate down the field. To be fair he was never an elite speed guy, but the data shows that past 10 yds Diggs was not getting any separation, couldnt stack DB's, etc.
Long story short, the argument that Diggs was getting a ton of attention which opened the game up for everyone else down the stretch wasn't true. Sure there was the occasional missed throw by Josh, but that happens to every QB. He simply isn't the same guy he was when he came to Buffalo.
If Beane makes the right moves in FA and the Draft to bring in a young receiver, with speed, I believe Josh will play even better next year than this year.
He will put to bed all the arguments and the Bills will be improved on Offense.
