    My buddy had an episode that involved the police after the Colts playoff win, he drank several of those during the game. No charges but close call, those things are not good 

    Worst night of my life started with those things.. almost died, NEVER again.

    If they wouldn't give Levi $4 million they must have a plan. 

    Patrick Peterson is a possibility.

    Hope so.. projections had Wallace at 10m/ year, hope Beane didn’t buy that and not make an offer.. surprised he sign that deal honestly.

    Nothing on Day 1, yet….but plenty of free agents remain - UPDATE : BEAN WORKING LATE & KILLING IT !

    I said at the very beginning of this that I expect status quo.

     

    - We dont have cap space

    - We have a almost completely filled out roster (on a top 5 NFL team)

    - Beane has NEVER shown himself to be a guy to go on spending sprees on name free agents

    - Its worked well so far

    Literally every position on the field could be upgraded besides Allen.

    I would prefer if we could get a 2nd for Tremaine and draft Chad Muma. Much more of an instinctive, playmaking middle linebacker. Use the cap savings to sign Chandler Jones. 

    Good luck getting the second.  I have to believe if that offer was made it would be done.  Shed that contract and get a longer term solution in place, yep!

    Hyde contract restructured

    Allens contract wont be touched this year IMO

    Yeah, can’t see it for this year either, you want to have that in your back pocket.  I could see them doing something as soon as his new contract really hits, which would “lower” his salary and keep spreading the cap hit down the line if the window to win is open.  Then you are going to extend him anyway after the 6 years so you can add more years and play some more.

    DB's still available

    He can either be considered a low end starter or top end depth. I like Levi on the team if the compensation is doable but still feel we need better opposite Tre.

     

    This is where the "can't have an All Pro at every position" crowd chimes in. 😂

    You know you can’t have All Pros at every position, right!? 
     

    (one on the team would be cool though)

    Every GM misses.  Just like every QB has incompletions, every lineman misses blocks, every receiver has drops, etc.

    It's ridiculous to nitpick every single move that does not work out.  The only real question is whether Brandon Beane is better than other NFL executives.  If you cannot answer that question with an emphatic YES, then I will question your football IQ.

     

    The results speak for themselves.  Before Beane/McDermott came along, the Bills were stuck in a 20 year cycle of mostly 6-7 win seasons.

    Since they took over, the team has made the playoffs 4 of 5 seasons, with the only miss coming with a rookie QB at the helm.  They made the AFC Championship in 2020, were a coin flip away from going back in 2021 and are once again among the favorites for winning the Super Bowl in 2022.

     

    From the start, Beane/McDermott said they wanted to build primarily through the draft.  Outside of rare occasions, they are not going to make a big splash in free agency.  They are going to fill holes with mostly bargain guys, then develop draft picks to become the new cores of the team.  And you really can't judge whether a pick is a bust or not, until at least Year 3.  That's how long it took to get returns on Ed Oliver and Dawson Knox, and now they are key players on the roster.

     

    This regime has invested A LOT in the D-Line with draft picks.  The plan was for them to play behind Jerry Hughes/Mario Addison for the first year or two.  Let's see how this season plays out before we judge AJ Epenesa, Greg Rousseau and Boogie Basham.  

     

    I agree with you on everything.  People here want to act like Beane has never missed and every play, no matter how bad, is just somebody not recognizing their talent, because Beane picked them.  It’s insane.   I think he’s had some massive whiffs and they seemed pretty obvious even in the moment.  The big thing though, they identified Allen and made it happen.  That single move pretty much solidifies the team.  Can’t take that away, they really defied a lot of doubters and went for it.  
     

    If it weren’t for Allen, we would be talking about a new regime right now.  I don’t think that’s a stretch at all.   No Allen and I don’t think they would have gone after Diggs (though it could easily be argued that Jefferson turned out to be the better value there), aside from that the track record is pretty sketchy at best.  I like Knox, but he is still a work in progress.  I think it’s pretty fair to say that every first and second round pick aside from Allen, has not played up to their draft position.  I know the Oliver fan boys will say that’s wrong, but there’s nothing about his play that says Top 10 pick.   So overall, I think Beane has to be given credit for Allen, Diggs, Knox, Wallace and Brown was a really nice pick.  Allen is the crown jewel, outside of that, his drafting has been pretty average or worse.  He’s really yet to hit on a FA win, I suppose one could argue Williams was a good one, but there’s been a lot more misses than hits there.   His first draft, because of Allen is a winner, the rest? Meh.   He’s put a team on the field that’s pretty starved of star level talent, but McD has gotten a lot out of it.  As a tandem, they have done well.  Would it be enough to beat the prime Patriots? I don’t think so.  Maybe last year, but that’s debatable.
