The injury is the big question mark. The RB you draft or sign is not going to have the impact a healthy McCaffrey will You’d rather have another Greg Rosseau?

There was some interesting chatter today about a proposed trade on the NFL Network. I kind of like this deal but other Bills fans were 100% opposed given his contract and injury history. As long as he could stay healthy, I think he would bring a new dimension to the offense that Josh has never had. Still I know Beane really values 1st round draft picks. I can’t see him trading #25 this year.

Who’s the next writer from Kansas City that going to write another sympathy piece for Jackson?

Guaranteed

Based on how Beane and McDermott operate, I’d be shocked if they didn’t have this conversation with Tre already. I really don’t think he risks upsetting upsetting his and the locker room by dealing with Gronk’s reps, if he didn’t already have the ok

Like them both… I will give it a listen

Don’t tell the Cover 1 guys this. They’ll spend days trying to share footage to prove that Edmunds is a “great” LB. To be fair, I wouldn’t call Edmunds a bust but he definitely has been a disappointment. He is an average player. I would agree that the Bills should upgrade but it sounds like they are set up to give him a huge deal. It will be a mistake but some fans will still be like “give him time….he’s only 35!”

Funny because while the story was published yesterday, the topic has been around for weeks….like I said. Here’s a link from 2/17: Got any more breaking news for us from 2 weeks ago: https://syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/10027317-report-tom-brady-name-to-watch-for-future-ownership-stake-in-dolphins.amp.html Not sure if you guys heard yet but….Tom Brady retired! Hot off the presses….an article from yesterday: https://syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/10028309-buccaneers-jason-licht-on-tom-bradys-retirement-well-leave-the-light-on.amp.html

This is old news that’s been around for weeks. I don’t put much stock into the rumors

I would be fine with Darnold or Fitzpatrick as players. Given the cap situation, it does make me weary of donating so much money to a QB2.

Aikman is ok. I don’t hate listening to him like a Collinsworth but I do think he’s that good either. What a fat contract for him

Gabe is gonna paid next season

I know the Bills value his versatility but I can’t see any way that the Bills keep Feliciano next season. His pro tag and level play just don’t mesh

I would be thrilled if this was the FA class but it’s not really accurate. The Bills will be lucky if they can get 2 or 3 of these players. The players I would really like are Ogbah and Corbett. I would be thrilled if those two were our signings.

That’s right… you have to think he’d be the fasted if he had

Even Lamar?

They should start calling Star “Beane’s Folly” Worst contract in their regime

I don’t know… is he really that much better than Dane Jackson? He seemed to be on the downside of his career the past few seasons.

That was the problem right there… Ralph empowered the wrong person who made some terrible decisions for the franchise. The second half of the drought is largely on the shoulders of Brandon as well as Wilson

Some great suggestions in this thread that will never happen. I think we all know what will happen this season. Instead of signing a big name in FA, Beane will take his chances on players that might be undervalued in FA for one reason or another but who *could* outplay their deal. He’ll also probably try to re-sign Tremaine Edmunds much to my disappointment This is the Beane philosophy of team building. You either end up with a player like Darryl Williams or a player like Trent Murphy or Vernon Butler. Rhodes is washed. Terrible CB and not that much better than Dane Jackson we don’t need Spain on this team. Douglas would be a nice addition

Hopeful!?!?!?!?!?!?

Great job on a fun idea for a post. Most of the members and admin in here are pretty cool, so I don’t see anyone complaining about this topic. 1. I probably started following them closely in 1990. Team was on 🔥🔥🔥 2. Home playoff game versus Houston in 1988. Everyone in town was buzzing 3. Watching the Comeback 1992. Breaking the drought. 4. Thurman Thomas/Josh Allen 5. it’s the name of a former pro wrestler. I joined about a year ago and needed to come up with something fast. That’s what I picked

It was an exaggeration…but the point stands. Over the past two drafts they have spent 3 out of 4 first and second round draft picks on defensive line and netted Epinesa, Rosseau, and Basham. I think AJ is a busted pick. I don’t think he’s be anything more than a JAG. The other two deserve more time, but still, I think the Bills could have drafted better than what they go in these 3. Also I’m not a fan of Edmunds. I don’t think he was a hit for a mid 1st rounder either.

Beane did not draft White or Milano… I forgot about Johnson, he was a nice find. Phillips played well for about half a season, but otherwise his career has been mediocre. Still, even if he’s back with the team, he’s probably playing a rotational role. Bills will still look to upgrade

Yeah but I came away with thinking he was pretty much against the short terms moves that we’ve seen from LAR and TB the past two seasons. Which is what some of us think the Bills need to do to get over the hump I don’t think he would be interested in trading a 3rd round pick to rent a player like Von Miller for half a season. That totally makes sense, but then again Miller was a big reason why the won the Super Bowl. The example they brought up was Stephon Diggs. They did trade a 1st and 3rd but Diggs was under contract for several seasons reasons at a reasonable salary. I think these are the moves that Beane will be looking to, rather than taking 1 year gambles on premiere players
