  1. That’s going to look like a bargain I believe, he was a pretty legit #1 prior to Fields.  With all the attention going to London, Pitts and that running game.. they could be realllllly good.

    If Moss has another year like he had last season i would really start second guessing the way coaches utilized him . I believe Moss may be depending again on how he is used more of a old school style back meaning that he needs more than a handful of carries to get in a groove .

     

    Remember back in the day before it was 3 or 4 different RB's by commity in a game ? Kind of like Von had said about his approach . Moss may need more carries to see exactly how the opponent is blocking & where some openings are .

     

    I never did like the pick when they drafted Moss but he always seemed to be a team guy I just wish he would have ran like he did least season while he was in Bills uni's . But players that were with the Bills seem to have good careers after they leave which is why when they are let go they get scooped up quickly .


    I think he more or less proved the fact, he’s a rhythm kind of guy, needs a little to get it rolling and then he’s good.  Never got that with DS and the stupid rotation here.

    I disagree, I think Higgins has been hidden by Chase’s talent and he’s going to really shine when he gets a chance to. 
     

    Higgins actually has MORE yards and touchdowns than Pittman even in a WR2 role. 

    We can agree to disagree, teams have to try to stop Chase, Higgins reaps the rewards.   I see him closer to Gabe Davis than a Big time #1.

    I'd deduct Murray but accept the other five. 

    When you consider the contracts, Love and Purdy are the only ones that really make sense.

    Hes good but not Tee Higgins good. His deal will be a good idea where the market is at. 

    He’s better than Higgins, just wait till Higgins doesn’t have Chase and Burrow to make him look great.   Pittman has been the #1 with pure garbage at QB his whole career.

    First, I listen to Marino's podcast and I enjoy it because he is pragmatic and brings reasonable arguments, he is not always right but his thought process is good.  What Marino said is what would need to happen.  Knox is a restructure, not an extension.  Not sure what you mean by same outcome without extending, guessing you mean restructure but that is what he is proposing for Knox already.  Dawkins is an extension and that is needed to lower his cap number, he is in the last year of his deal..  He already has void money next year so they could add to that but they could extend  him to keep him on the team after this year.  

     

    I hate the Zeke signing, he is done, I would rather keep the 6th or 7th round pick.

    Did you watch Zeke last year?  The guy is not done, he looked pretty darn good.  He would be a nice compliment to Cook and he can still catch the ball.   He’s not being asked to carry the load, just be the #2.

    Yup lost me at the Epenesa contract. Starting money for a guy that’s barely done anything 

    That’s not CLOSE to starting money for a DE.

  6. The guy is a whiny brat, he checked out.  He never wanted to take a hit, always diving down or going OB, which I get, but when they asked him to play more physical, take passes behind the LoS he quit.  His lack of focus was obvious in the drops, etc.  He needs a change of scenery, wish the Bills hadn’t trusted him and gave him a contract that makes it almost impossible to offload him without hurting themselves in a bad way.

    I think that this is reasonable and that it will be the general direction that the Bills take. But it highlights my concerns with the team. The roster looks solid, but other than Allen it lacks difference makers. Some quality players will be on the roster for sure. Oliver and Milano on defense. Cook, Dawkins, Kincaid and Diggs on offense. But none of them are keeping HCs and coordinators up at night. Allen is going to need a lot more help. 


    ALL THIS!  You can fill the roster out with replacement level guys when you have TRUE studs.  KC won because they have the best player in the league at 3 different positions and one could argue Sneed makes it 4.   The only place the Bills have anything near the best is Allen.   Kincaid might get there, but not yet, Diggs was among the top WRs, but wasn’t this year (or the back half of last year either), if anyone says Oliver, you need your head checked.   It can’t be Allen and a bunch of pretty good guys to unseat Mahomes , MaAuto and Mr. Jones, you ain’t keeping up.

    Which is why I am shocked people wanted to sign him to a contract like that.. as if it was ever, at all, possible. 
     

    He’s the best DT in the league, and DT’s do age well .. but Von was also at an elite level when we signed him.. looked every bit the elite player we paid for… until he got hurt. 
     

    Von’s a little older, but Chris Jones is a massive body and Von may be an anomaly freak of nature.  
     

    The risk here for the Chiefs is real.  A risk absolutely worth taking .. and because it’s KC, I’m sure one that will have zero ramifications. 


    I doubt Jones will be a problem, but you just never know, it’s not hard for something to go wrong in the trenches.  Also, like you said, he’s a BIG guy, a lot of stress on that body.  For his sake, I hope he’s injury free forever, but we all know how the life of an NFL player can be altered in one step.

    No it was the smart move,  he is most likely not signing unless he receives around 8-10 in guaranteed money.  He older with a history of concussions,  Bills had to move on.  

    I think people forget that he was a helmet tap away from being out for weeks, or maybe even done for good.  I like the guy, but he’s got plenty of risk associated with him.  I wouldn’t be shocked if the plan is to get a rookie to take C as McGovern was really solid at G last year, but at least this way, they can say they have a plan going into the draft.   Quality Centers can be had fairly late in the draft.

    The answer is obvious: the Russ' contact post cut means they are getting hammered on the cap. Wilson alone will be $35 M this year and $50 M next, simply to not have him on the team anymore. Combined with not having a QB they have a massive millstone around their necks until 2026. A prudent thing to do would be to make cap room and ship off vets with expiring contracts for draft picks.

     

    The problem with the Bills moving on it is that these players, while good, aren't a perfect fit for our needs and cap situation. Jeudy, while a great player, is more of the role that the Bills have for Shakir. Sutton has a $12 M base salary for the next two years that the Bills would be on the hook for.

    That’s a bargain for Sutton.

  11. I like it, but you have to feel he knew he would be cut if they didn’t work it out, I’m betting the offset language in his contract made it so he wasn’t going to make a whole lot more with a new team and he put out crap tape as and old, undersized, injured DE that had to be made inactive for crucial games. That’s not exactly the kind of stuff that gets you big deals.   Doing this, he gets a chance to make his money, and come back for another decent chunk next year.

     

    It could be a win / win.  He may also be cooked and lowered his own take when they send him packing this summer.

    The comp pick formula should allow for qualifying offers like baseball does as when it comes to draft picks  I see no problem giving an end of the second round pick for the loss of Edmunds who was the leader of the bills defense for 5 years but the nfl only starts comp picks in the third round. 
    Of course depending on what Gabe Davis signs for Bills should get another 3round pick for him next year. 


    That depends, do they replace him?  Do they sign more FAs than they let walk?   There’s a scenario where he could net you a pick, but I kinda doubt it’s a 3rd to be honest.
