Beane probably loves this guy, he looks like a McCaffery lite. I wouldn't mind this pick early day 3.

Olave is my dream pick for the Bills. It'd just be so damn fun.

I don't think you should trade a ton of assets for a top WR when you have obvious serious doubts about your QB situation, and frankly I don't see how this really helps your offense so much when you already had a guy with a similar physical skillset in Waddle. Hill was so dangerous because A)His speed and B)The guy throwing it to him could put it anywhere on the field. Tua can't push the ball like that. He can't extend the play like Mahomes could so Hill would have an extra 2-3 seconds to burn his man. He's an absolutely excellent player. Is he worth 5 draft picks and a mega contract when you don't have the QB piece settled? I don't think so, but maybe I'm wrong. Just seems like a backwards way to build your team.

I don't really understand this trade, or know how to evaluate it anyways. You already had a guy with a similar physical skillset in Waddle, you don't have a QB who is excellent at getting the ball out quickly or pushing the ball downfield. You've given away a lot of picks, albeit for an excellent player. I'm not saying that the Dolphins got fleeced, but I don't understand why they'd want to do it. They weren't a WR away last season, like we were in 2019 with Diggs.

Butler was about as close to garbage as the Bills had on their starting lineup. Good luck to him but the guy did basically nothing during his time here.

I'm confident they're going to find a way to sign a vet CB, they're just waiting for the market to crash and ***** up one of those guys on the cheap.

Feel bad for the guy. He made a poor choice in FA, Judon was one of the guys I really, really wanted the Bills to make a run for.

I like this signing. Cole Beasley-esque production for a guy who is cheaper, younger, and slightly more upside. Crowder has never had a talent like Josh Allen at QB, so it'll be interesting to see how it goes. I really still like the idea of drafting a WR at round 1 but I think this takes the wind of out the sails a bit. It could still happen but CB feels a lot more likely now.

This thread is pretty silly. The fact of the matter is every time we're handing off the ball to the RB we are taking the ball away from our best player on the field. The need for an "elite" RB is inversely correlative to the ability of your QB. If we had a poorly rated QB, then you need an elite RB. If you have a middle of the road guy, then you have a balanced attack. With Josh Allen, I just want a guy. For now, Singletary is that guy and he's effective enough. Wasting resources and cap space on "elite RB" is just handcuffing Allen by taking snaps away from Allen. By all means, draft a RB in the 3rd-4th every year and sign a guy like Duke Johnson or McKissic. I don't ever want to pay for production that takes away from the passing attack.

I know, just joking, Whaley is still really salty about it though if you listen to even recent interviews.

But if Whaley gets a job, then who will be Tyler Dunne's anonymous source to ***** on the Bills for literally anything they do?

Cap hit aside it's pretty nice signing for the Bills. Definitely a guy who could win you a game if he goes in for two weeks. I really hope that the cap number can be finessed somehow though, that's a lot of change for a guy you hope never sees the field.

Veron Butler was worse than Phillips and still barnacled his way onto the roster. I think Phillips has a much better chance of being on the final 53 than Lawson.

Clayton was great, loved his segments on WGR. He will be missed for sure.

I wonder what the chances are that Lawson just gets cut before the season happens. I'm not saying that I want that necessarily, but that's a log jam of a DE room again now. I don't see the Bills making one DE inactive again every game.

I'm sure I'm not saying anything new here but the situation is just gross. Yeah, there are a lot of scumbags in the NFL, but that doesn't change the fact that at best the Browns just hired a creepy pervert to be the face of their franchise. The contract is absolutely bonkers too. It makes Allen again look like a steal by comparison, and I don't think there's any way that Watson is going to be worth what was given up and the guaranteed money. I don't blame anybody who jumps ship from being a Browns fan.

Rodgers signs mega contract precluding them from any big FA signings and the team trades away their only legit threat WR. You love to see it.

That feels like way too much for Robinson, but good on him for getting paid.

I'm sure his attitude isn't the best, but looks at how the Browns have handled this. As far as I'm concerned, Baker didn't really cause any of this, a completely incompetent FO did. Just trade him to Indy and get some assets. Absolutely stupid for the Browns to continue to escalate the situation that they created.

Nothing says competence like holding the disgruntled face of your franchise hostage because you screwed everything up trying to trade for (at best) an utter creep.

I get that he's a great player but the multiple teams fawning over this guy (and the NFL in general) is pretty gross. If I were a player it's definitely a guy I wouldn't want to interact with more than I had to.

As others have said, the defensive line has not had a true leader and now we have one in Von Miller. I don't know that Mack would be able to do as well in that regard and you need to give up picks for Mack.

Okay. I'd like you to show me how he's not the player he used to be, which has always been a very effective DE. To be more direct: Where has his game suffered over the years that's a concern for you? I don't see how 17ish million a year is an overpay. It's very similar to Chandler Jones, who is by all metrics around as efficient as Miller. Better yet, show me a player with a similar statline who has gotten paid much less this season. I don't think you're going to find it because this is a very fair market value. "Players make players better". Well I'll say that I hope that's true, because of one of the benefits of having a superstar leader like Miller is that your young DE core gets to learn from one of the best ever.

This reads like you had a few too many beers. You keep talking about how Miller has slowed down/regressed except the numbers don't reflect that, in fact none of the metrics that you associate with DEs say anything like it. What they do say is that he's still a highly effective DE with excellent body control, a great pressure win rate, bend, and someone who needs to be accounted for on the field by offenses. He was much, much more efficient last season (a very down season, according to you) than anyone the Bills had. If you're going to make the claim, back it up with facts. Playing with Donald is not a negative, and it's ridiculous to somehow hold it against him (playing with Darnold is something entirely different). These are poor, low information takes that don't make much sense. You're railing against a contract you're willfully not understanding; you're calling a player bad when the reality he's better than anyone the Bills currently have rostered. It's just silly.

Which is perfect when you look at the rookie deals we have for Basham/Rousseau. As Von Miller slows down these guys should be able to pick up the mantle (assuming development pans out).
