Chaos

awful for an LB

Hard to believe Oliver with a 1 year 11 million dollar contract is worth a second round draft pick.

Overshown had a weak combine.

The growing pains with Edmunds never ended

They don't have to. NFL teams can cut whoever they want. Cut him or keep him. Both are fine. Extra legal proceedings like fines and suspensions for activities prior to joining the NFL is what I was specifically referring to.

I think the legal system should handle legal issues. I don't think everyone's employer needs to function as a separate wing of government to provide additional punishments. If the law thinks Mixon and Hill should be in prison, then they aren't available to play in the NFL. If the law says they are entitled to be a liberty, then let them do their jobs.

Was Geno Smith undervalued? The answer is an obvious no.

Not sure you understand how the NFL free agent market works.

Among the top 10, the Lions are the only ones that have a QB solution in place.

After the combine it seems he will likely be there at pick 59.

Different ways to look at it. One perfectly reasonable way is to say, the Bllls are positioned to improve more than 7 teams. 24 Teams are positioned to improve more than the Bills. But the big issue (not new news) is the Chiefs and Bengals are better positioned to improve than the Bills. And their GM's have been almost as wizardy as Beane the last couple of seasons.

Henry has one year left on his contract. It doesn't get any less risky than that.

The official Bills company line seems to be "Frazier was a great DC, responsble for the Bills success on defense, but he won't be missed because he was really not too consequential"

Oliver is in his last contract year. Time to make a decision.

You are free to speculate. We all are. But its just speculation. My speculation says to believe that McDermott does not tell white lies to assuage and grown man's feelings though.

Narrow thinking. Titans might trade Henry for Oliver. No NFL team is trading a good olinemen under contract to Oliver. The Oliver for Henry trade concept has zero impact on improving the line. Does not help. Does not hurt.

Several things can be simulataneouly true. It does not make sense to give up draft assets and $11 mm of cap space to sign Derrick Henry Item 1 is not the only option regarding Henry. Trading for Henry is, IMO, a one season decision. The only way it might make sense depends on what the teams plans are with Ed Oliver. Oliver and Henry have almost exactly the same Salary Cap impact for the 2023 season. Both Henry and Oliver can likely be replaced with much more cost effective assets in any NFL draft. The Bills can't just cut Oliver and recover the cap space. If the Bills plan to move on from Oliver after the 2023 season AND if the Titans in an effort to accomodate Henry were willing to trade Henry straight up for Oliver, the question becomes a one season question. Would the Bills be better in 2023 with Henry, or with Oliver. Personally I think the anwser is they would be better with Henry.

Was MdD involved with coaching the team at all during the last two playoff losses? Because it seems like many fans think McD is just on the sidelines observing what the DC's are doing.

Stop checking? would that solve the problem? In real life we ended the last two seasons on very depressing losses. And we are watching Beane maneuver through his first salary cap challenges, resulting from not having a super star QB on a rookie contract. Hopefully the arrow points back up, but right now the arrow is pointing sideways, with a chance it points down. This is an actual depressing situation.

Think of the question this way: Would I feel bad if the Chiefs added Derrick Henry?

There really is no such thing as an undervalued veteran free agent. These guys are well vetted by 32 pro scouting staffs, and the market for pricing is pretty efficient. Not sure another older receiver is a good use of any Salary Cap. Rather role with hoping Gabe Davis gets better.

What makes you say that? McD said it was 100% Frazier's call.

I am giving up on Spencer Brown. He can fight for the starting role. At this point best case scenario is he stops being a turnstile just in time for his rookie contract to be up, and he can get crazy free agent money.

He seems to have tumbled down post combine big boards. PFF dropped him from 52 to 68. Saw him at 76 somewhere else. Everyone seems to have Tippman and Wypler going before Schmitz now. If we are fantasizing I would rather get Avila and Dawand Jones and pass on Charbonnet.
