True, might as well wait and see, just go post June 1 if he’s still less valuable on the field than he is being off it.

But I thought it would be impossible to release Miller 😂

I don’t love Dawkins at top end payment, but he’s good. Extending him looks like the best play to me.

About McD? Nah, not really.

Ahh the ole McDermott philosophy of someone being too valuable to let play, gotta love it. I don’t like seeing him go, but if doofus won’t play him, you can’t pay him.

He’s the best of a really weak group behind Diggs. That’s not saying much. He should come into camp with plenty of competition and have to eat his spot, he’s proven exactly nothing yet. Had they taken that approach with Davis, he would have been pushed to the right role for hime, a #3.

Makes sense, he’s a nice piece, but basically what Cook is and some return ability. As much as I like him on the team, not at 5M. If he’s back for 1.5 or so, I’m good with it.

Only because he looks sad in the picture, otherwise, that’s way too rich.

The truth will not be tolerated here! He was over rated and over drafted. Everyone got sucked into the Donald hype and he’s not close. The painful part is, there were 3 other DTs drafted after him that are all true impact players and far better. He’s good, just not special.

That’s already been out there, where ya been?

I wouldn’t be mad if we took an OT early for that matter.

Not the same, he had guaranteed money, but it wasn’t all tied to signing bonus. What screws us with the Von and Diggs deal is the amount of signing bonus/salary converted to bonus. Upfront, it allows you to pay a guy, and the cap hit gets spread out over the remainder of the contract. However, the minute he leaves you accelerate all the cap hit to that year. Os just had big guaranteed money, so they could trade that away, if anyone would take it. The basically paid in draft picks for a team to eat it.

Nope, he’s still a loser till he’s a winner.

There’s going to be some quality backs available in the 2M range and I’d take one. Cook is so slight framed, wouldn’t be a bad idea to have a replacement available that’s better than Johnson.

They got there the same way the Bills are getting there, always mortgaging the future to pay for this year because they had a shot. It all started when they had Breese, then they thought they had enough to win the division, then they could get Carr and have another shot. This is the reason I say, take the medicine once in a while. I’d take it now, the current roster only has a shot because of JA, it will have pretty much the same shot of you cut all the fat and set yourself up for the future. Right now, KC runs the AFC, you can beat up on the Jets and Patriots all you want, it won’t matter in the end.

Well said. I hate when the Bills lose, but it’s not life impacting.

Talented guy, hope he does well. This may be nothing more than leverage to get Townsend to take less.

I wouldn’t say no path bc of MCD, but I would choose KC over Buffalo, probably Cinci, Dallas, Philly if I wanted a title and a chance to produce. Baltimore is still WR death, but a good shot for a title. Detroit is a title shot, but too many weapons to take away touches. Jax is also interesting. The big draw to Buf will be JA and a shot to be a primary target.

I’d love to see Mooney here, feel like he might be on the lower side of high priced WRs to go. I feel like he can be a great addition.

Just testing how long it will take for the carriers to know/react around major cities. A nice practice run before shutting off all coms and taking over the country, no big thing.

I don’t think CEH is in any position to try to demand a starting gig after being unseated by a 6th round, nobody. He’s not good. I’d rather keep Johnson.

Rookie QBs are cheap, they could easily have Baker as the bridge guy if they wanted.

Mahomes contract was restructured to get it to 35M bc you know he’s staying and the same thing can be done with Allen. You can get some compensation back for Diggs in trade and designate Von Post June 1, so it’s 45M this year and YES, I am saying I would do it. The way this team is built, it’s not good enough to win it all and that’s not good enough. BTW, last I checked, Packers still out pace the Bills in SB victories and that’s literally all that matters.

Allen can’t go anywhere, he’s under contract, same for McClappy. It’s not a tank, it’s a rebuild, with addition by subtraction. The Chiefs did it just 2 years ago, unloading Hill, Frank Clark, etc, all “key” players and wound up winning the SB. The Packers retooled several times during Favre/Rodgers time. What you are saying is “I’m scared to watch a team cut the fat”. Poyer’s contract was set up to let him go this year btw, so pretending you have any idea what you are talking about is amusing. Yes, it will hurt, yes, you will have to part ways/not resign others because of taking the garbage out and yea some may have to be post June 1 designations to make it all spread out and hurt less, but it’s all doable and a lot of it needs to happen.

Whichever talking head said “Purdy could walk on water and you all would say “it’s because he doesn’t know how to swim”” had it right. The kid had an MVP season and everyone goes out of their way to find fault. If he had just been a higher draft pick, none of this non-sense would be out there. He played a really good game in the SB, lead a late game go ahead drive and scored in OT, but it was all his fault. Nonsense. He didn’t collapse, his OL sure did, but he played good enough to win. He outplayed our own JA in the playoffs, oddly enough, it was Chris Jones who wrecked both clear TD passes for the Bills and the 9ers by being on the QB before they could throw. Allen had a little time before it happened, Purdy had nothing. Credit the team around him all you want, that’s a weak ass excuse. He was making his money with the 3rd WR. So say what you want, I’m not buying. They won’t tag Baker, it’s takes away all their leverage. He’s good, not elite, should be able to get him back at ~30M, no need to go insane.
