No ..mock Hollins is replacing Trent Sherfield for about the same moneyYou’re so close to getting the point. Nobody would expect a guy coming in on a $1-2 million contract to put up anywhere near the 750 yards and 7 TDs that Davis routinely produced…because guys like that are getting 8 figures a season. Guys who earn $1-2 million put up 86 yards and 1 TD.

Genuinely baffled we still believe these kinds of defensive investments are going to produce results
What if I told you he was playing on a hurt foot and a knee injury that required offseason surgery? Does that sweeten the deal?

His contract was up.
The Bills got good results for the $$$ and wisely decided not to give him a new, more expensive contract.
Easy to understand imo. He scored a lot of touchdowns for a guy with limited skills, perfect time to move on and upgrade. I doubt he ever scores tds at that rate again. The Bills score a lot of touchdowns by the way. I think they will find others who can catch them.
Right, this POV makes perfect sense. It’s the people who act like Gabe was somehow holding the team back by “only” averaging 700 yards and 7 TDs a year while earning near the league minimum who have lost perspective.

The guy they replace him with in the draft won’t be getting much more moneyThey just replaced him with Mack Hollins…who is earning more than Gabe did.

Gabe Davis was 128 out of 153 wrs in the ESPN Analytics 'open' metric last season. That's why he disappears for so long .......
Well he was 68th in targets, 49th in yards, and 18th in TDs, and he did it for next to nothing.

You’re saying we’re worse off at WR because we lost Gabe Davis, Sherfield, and Harty? I must respectfully disagree.
Gabe Davis had 27 regular season TD receptions and 6 more in the postseason while earning a total of just under $4 million. How have so many convinced themselves that losing him is addition by subtraction?
-
Still remains to be seen who is going to replace the 7 TD catches and 10.5 sacks that left with Davis and Floyd.

Khalil Shakir. Josh trusts him now I look for a thousand yard season outta him and people saying Gabe who?
I can’t believe it took so long for someone to say Shakir. He’s the obvious choice, IMO.

Honestly if he was not already a Bill this would be like a Mario Addison or Quinten Jefferson type signing. Makes a play here or there but really does not add a ton more than a rookie or guy like Kingsley Jonathon.
KJ doesn’t add much more than I do.

What if the only difference between the Chiefs and the Bills were the quarterbacks for the last 4 years, Imagine Josh Allen on the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes on the Bills. It's my opinion that the Chiefs would still have won at least 2, possibly all 3 Super Bowls. I think the Bills still come up short even with Mahomes. I think Josh Allen would be talked about as the Goat instead of Mahomes. Organizations help make a player a champion, and the Chiefs organization is better than the Bills. Just one man's opinion, a longsuffering Bills fan. 😔
Kansas City would have let the Chiefs move to Portland, and the Bills would have won 8, yes 8 SuperBowls. The new stadium would have a retractable roof, and blue cheese would be replaced with ketchup as the preferred accompaniment to wings.

It’s infuriating to hear Reid was released. I would be shocked if Andy’s relationship with the governor premeditated this.
I’ll hesitate to make any judgement about Andy as a person or a father because we don’t know for sure - but I would question whether a release is helpful for Brit or just another way to enable him
It’s not helpful for Britt nor anyone else in the community. Unfortunately, we’d rather crowd the jails with non-violent offenders and let actual dangers to society do their thing.

I completely disagree…Britt also has a prior record and deserved way more time.go figure - the Chiefs fan defends the Reid family 🤷♂️
I’m not defending Britt at all. I just said he can rot in prison as far as I care, but I guess you know more about Kansas City politics than I do. Feel free to be outraged over something you clearly have spent a grand total of 10 seconds familiarizing yourself with so that you can come to an opinion based on what you want to be true rather than reality, though.
Those who prefer to base their opinions on actual facts should be pissed off at the system that allows hundreds of dirt balls off easy instead of only being mad about the one whose last name is Reid.

You honestly believe that his last name had nothing to do with it? Come on man?It legit had nothing to do with it. It’s caused a huge uproar in the city. He could rot in jail as far as I’m concerned. Britt actually served more time than average for his crime which is why he was on the list of commutations. No politician is stupid enough to hurt his own aspirations like this intentionally. He’s not a KC guy in any way, shape, or form. No chance he’s doing favors for the Chiefs.

Parsons is an absolute POS. That said, this was one of hundreds of commutations done at once. It doesn’t appear to have involved political favors. Britt just happened to be one of many, many irresponsible people who have overcrowded Missouri jails.

Why can’t they go case by case to assemble the best team possible?
Of course they can, but are they getting it right? Von was brought in under a big contract. He got hurt and has been an albatross. Leonard Floyd was brought in. He had 10.5 sacks, and they let him walk. They traded a third round pick for Douglas. He got hurt, missed time, and was then completely ineffective in the postseason. They brought back Hyde and Poyer, and both were husks of their former selves by the time the season ended.
Floyd is easily the biggest success story the team has had in terms of bringing in an aging veteran, and they sent him packing after one season. Why would anyone want them to bring in another expensive player over the age of 30? It just makes no sense to me. It’s not even like I’m criticizing the Bills’ FO because it’s a move they haven’t even made. I’m criticizing the idea of a theoretical move that strikes me as being a bad idea.

If Simmons is signed and a draft pick made the plan is Simmons is the bridge to the draft pick. Simmons is 2 years younger and that isn't insignificant. I don't need a FA to come in for 5 or 6 years. I need someone for 1 or 2 at the most while the rookie gets seasoning. The safety market is going to be weird. If you could get Hyde back for a year for next to nothing with the same plan of passing it off to 2024 draftee in 2025 would you do it?
Absolutely not. I would draft a rookie and let him play. Hyde was a terrific player at one point in his career, but he’s completely shot. The only thing that matters for the Bills is the postseason. Why would you waste 25% of a rookie contract that could be used getting him game reps during the regular season in preparation just to trot the corpse of Micah Hyde out for another season?

using AJ in what is basically a "they have to stop paying old vets" argument is just bad. this is AJs first big contract and its not even that expensive for a young DE whos gotten better each year.
also what made it clear we didnt have a SB roster...
for some reason i remembered you as a decent non bills fan poster, I guess its the other chiefs fan on here who actually made decent points
I’m using AJ to illustrate that there is no consistency in their plan (if they turn around and sign Simmons which I don’t believe they will). Floyd was old, but he was super productive. They chose to pay AJ who is young but unproductive instead. That’s fine if they’re committed to getting younger, but if they’re going to pick up Justin Simmons after trading a 3rd round pick for a 29 year old Rasul Douglas then letting a 24 year old Gabe Davis walk, then clearly that’s not their commitment.

Please elaborate
They have continued to kick an exorbitant amount of money into future cap years in order to pay the older versions of the same players more and more money. They just gave AJ Epenesa an extension with a sizable pay increase to remain on the team and be part of a Defensive End rotation that returns 11.5 sacks from last season. If they finally let Poyer and Hyde go just to pay another 30+ year old Safety (they won’t), then they’re clearly just throwing ish against the wall to see if it sticks.
These are not the actions of a front office who is worried that they’re going to have to clean up the mess. They’re the actions of a front office who had a plan, worked it beautifully, but saw it fall short of a Super Bowl. Instead of tearing it down strategically a year ago when it was clear that they didn’t have a championship roster and putting together a 2 year rebuild, they kept taking out payday loans to try to make another run with a roster than has gotten progressively worse for what will be the third straight season.
For as much crap as people give McDermott about “the process”, he and Beane built a monster. They had a clear and easy to articulate plan. I have no idea what their current plan is. Signing Simmons would convince me that there isn’t one.

yea because signing a 4 time All-Pro who is younger than Poyer and Hyde means they are cluess? Give me a breakThose guys are a combined 66 years old. How is that the barometer?

Bills making a move for Simmons?? 👀
If Buffalo signs Simmons, I will be 100% convinced that they (Beane and McDermott) longer have any semblance of a plan and are officially throwing darts hoping to save their jobs.

Imagine working you way up the depth chart, balling out, and signing a big contract to be the TE1 of a top offense for years to come.
Then the very next offseason your team trades up in the 1st round to select another tight end, and the offseason after that, they're knocking on your day asking you to take a paycut.
Tough business.Now imagine you’re the next guy they approach about signing a contract with them.

Weird. I get that Denver is on the hook for $39m, but if I’m Wilson I’d want the Steelers to commit more to me than the vet minimum. Steelers can move on or cut him if he struggles at all without thinking twice.
His contract is a dollar for dollar offset, so he doesn’t get a penny more of actual money unless he gets paid more than $39 million. The part that isn’t offset is the salary cap, so “earning” more would only hurt the team’s salary cap.

Sneed gave up 0 TDs all season long until Shakir's TD in the divisional round. He was definitely an elite game changing CB this past season. Although I suspect the team that inevitably trades for him will be disappointed, much as great Patriots players used to leave for a different team and see their level of play diminish. The Chiefs elite coaching staff shouldn't be discounted in this discussion. They have a way of getting players to their ceiling at an astonishing rate.
And the TD that Shakir caught basically proved how impressive Sneed’s season was. It was a signature play by a HOF QB making a play after the initial reads weren’t there and throwing a seed to Shakir who made a toe drag catch for a TD. That’s what it took to beat Sneed for a score. Josh is literally the greatest QB in history at throwing the pass where he scrambles and then throws the sideline pass where the receiver has to reach out of bounds to catch the ball. It’s as indefensible of a play as there has ever been.
To B716’s point, if CBs can’t be game breakers, then WRs can’t be game breakers. Sneed and McDuffie turned elite WRs into JAGs all season long. Steve Spagnuolo’s entire postseason defensive game plan was centered on daring QBs to beat McDuffie and Sneed. Even then, he’d call a CB blitz on the biggest plays of the game, and it worked. If you’re (not literally you, HD) trying to equate Taron Johnson and Rasul Douglas to L’Jarius Sneed and Trent McDuffie, you’re going to walk away thinking that McDermott must suck, and this thread isn’t for you.
Bills sign Mack Hollins
in The Stadium Wall

Yep, and he didn’t come anywhere near putting up 1600 yards and 14 TDs over the past two seasons like Davis did.
