Seems low to me, 12 would be my guess
I would be in the 12 camp too, until I looked at the schedule. It’s a tough schedule. Nothing wrong with a 10 win battle tested team. I’d prefer that to the golden boys next year. Golden boys, refers to odds on favorite to win SB. I like coming in under the radar.

Lots of prayers on this end. I was recently in need of prayer. Strangers, my parents lawn folks, work, it was amazing how people came through. Gives me hope. These people came from every walk of life. But for a moment, they came together. Brings tears to my eyes and fills my perpetually half full glass up!

Not so sure about the second sentence. There are some terrible/desperate front offices out there. Watsons contract is an example.

🤣🤣 You had me at Twitter!
What’s sad is I keep checking in. Over and over again. This move makes the needle move in the right direction. Unfortunately the wizard has guardrails, thank God. I think someone on the other side is mucking it up and not being reasonable.

Can anyone confirm Buffalo lost a third round comp pick by signing Harris? If so, that is a HUGE mistep by Brandon Beane...unbelievable.
I like the thought of considering comp picks when signing free agents. I think long term, it’s just good planning. I believe the staff always considers long term outcomes. That being said, our Super Bowl window is open now. Do I believe in selling out to get a Super Bowl. Yes and no. If it works great (see Rams). But if the Rams lost they would look foolish now. Oops back to my point. I think our window got shorter because of everything that happened last year. Last year was probably year one for winning a SB. Me personally, I don’t want to do what the Rams did, but minor things (argument could be made against it) like comp picks don’t concern me. Plus there’s the it’s a wash argument. Bottom line, if Harris makes us better today for the right term, sign him.
On a side note. I hated that guy. He was a Bill killer. At the very least, sign him and bench him. Then he will at least quit carving us up.

Yeah for sure. Fans in places like NYC, Biston, Philly never overreact to things!!!
and Beasley is a moron for a lot of reasons but getting mad at him about this is really dumb.
What an insane take on Allen and Mahomes based on absolutely nothing.
What??? Mahomes is in freaky KC. If he was winning multiple SBs in Buffalo, fans would be defending his brother. Weird take.
Dumb, insane, weird. Class act. Yup, I would go on to say I never said I was mad at him, but I can see from your posts it won’t be productive.

You won't get a good return on any trade with him, but wouldn't say no one would be interested. A team with a lot of money to spare may take a gamble on him. Yes he's a FA next season, but whomever he plays for in 2023 does have the inside track on signing him to a new contact as a last resort could tag him. Also that team can sign him prior to next March.
Will he get traded not likely, but if the Bills were desperate to offload the salary, I'm sure they could find a taker at a low return on value.
I think the fact that a team could tag him and keep him is a possibility. But I’m with you, unlikely. I bet Einstein’s dog is smarter than ours, hell, he’s probably smarter than me. 😃

The reason many people would like to trade Oliver is to move resources from the Defense to the Offense. Oliver is over $10M and that money would go a long way in getting an elite player on offense.
To the OP, I think it would be more realistic to think of one move, not multiple. And to rate those moves. Sure D Hop would look great but he is picks and a huge salary. J Jeudy would cost less monetarily but comes at a big draft pick and looming cost a year out. OBJ comes with a midrange cost and lots of injury/recovery risk. D Henry comes at mid-range draft cost and mid-range to high cost - but is also an RB.
I'd like to see the FO do an off the radar move of a draft pick for M Evans. Not as expensive as D Hop, more proven experience than Jeudy, healthier than OBJ, and not an RB like D Henry.
As Billz4ever has pointed out, the money is fully guaranteed, so a cut is out of the question. Sounds good to trade him to allocate resources to offense but I don’t think it’s realistic. Could it happen, sure, but I’d rather keep him. It’s a contract year for him. One very good year and he’s gonna get paid big time, hopefully not by us. Honestly, I think we are gonna ride out his last year, it makes sense.
The other points are interesting, I was more interested in the Oliver chat, which honestly I feel bad posting about in here because I don’t want to hijack the OP’s post. I like your screen name.

I don't think it can really be argued that Oliver hasn't lived up to what the team expected from him when they took him at #9 overall. Having said that, I think it would be difficult to find a team willing to take on his $11M salary going into this year. I think we're stuck with him and we just have to hope for the best.
See my response to TheBeaneBandit. I agree, he’s not going anywhere. But I think next year at this time 11 million might look like a deal.

Yeah in an ideal world we could sign Oliver to a "prove it" mini extension to lower his hit this year. But the world is probably fantasyland lol.
That would be ideal. But I envision him playing like a monster this year to get paid mega bucks on his next contract. I believe he will be good to very good this year and there will be no way to afford him next year. He’s essentially Tremaine. Someone’s gonna pay him and it won’t be us. But let’s not get rid of him now because I’d bet the house he’s gonna have a big year. Let’s use it for the SB push then get a decent comp pick.

Y’all trippn. Teams don’t trade for non impact players.
He’s a JAG. Mediocre. Has one game a year where he’s disruptive.

Lol, yes they do. Cody Ford? It’s Sunday and I’m relaxing so I’m not gonna make a list. But I agree with your point that teams aren’t looking to trade for JAG with a big salary.

Even if you cut Oliver, it still counts as dead cap.
You're now saying we can just cut him, but in another breath say we can trade him?
You're saying a guy we can just cut has trade value?
I hate being disrespectful by posting non Hopkins stuff, but I am interested in yours and others views on Oliver. I randomly chose to respond to your post. My point would be, why on earth would you trade Oliver in a contract year? This is when the first round “meh’s” come out to play. It’s payday. He will probably be a beast next year, let’s ride it and see him out the door as they get paid a ton to revert to their former selves. See Phillips and Shaq. Thanks for posting. Go Bills!

I wouldn't. The offense can't give Henry enough touches. Cook and Hines need to see the field to be part of the passing game.
Diggs is the team prima donna, and I wouldn't put another in the receiver room. The Diggs-Hopkins show would be a distraction.
If I were going to stretch, it would have been for a stud offensive lineman.
Agreed, plus I don’t think Dorsey has proven he can make all these dynamic pieces work together.

I'd be tempted to trade Josh for Mahomes, not that that offer would ever be on the table. He's the only one though.
I struggled with this. Was gonna give you a🤮 but decided against it. Mahomes has a better resume, period. I agree with you. But F him. He would definitely not fit the cultural vibe that is Buffalo. His baggage (some family members) would not go over well in a blue collar town like Buffalo. Plus, he’s our Josh. We watched him grow up before our eyes. I’m riding the Allen train until it stops. GO Bills!

I hope he is signed on an incentive based contract and traded to Texans.
Keen observation on the first sentence. Setting himself up in the off-season because he knows we probably won’t sign him.

Cole’s not wrong. Right now Mahomes is the best. In fact he has a bigger lead on Allen right now than he did a year ago at this time.
I agree. But as far as teammates, I’d rather Cole have Allen’s back than point out he’s not in the top 2. Plenty of ways to address the Jests/GB/ Aaron fiasco without dragging your teammate into it. Sometimes homerism is ok.

I have never understood the infatuation with this guy. He basically bulls forward for 3 yards.
My infatuation with him is he ran all over us. If we get him on the cheap, and he is not a feature back, I think I like it. He won’t be the best fit for every game plan. But we can abuse soft D’s with him and use him to soften up the tougher defenses. That said I don’t follow him or anything, I just remember hating to play against him.

good breakdown 👍. Honestly I don’t know what the answer is at RB. i am hoping it’s a combination of Cook and Hines so they can focus on WR and OL.Man, I completely agree. With your response and Folz post. I don’t feel comfortable saying our backs suck. They’ve shown flashes. Before we hang them, I think a review of the coaching room from the RB coaches up to the OC is in order. I believe these guys can play.

A few more…
Scotty Miller -WR- Runs in the 4.3s and has shown off that speed in games. He catches the ball and has had some very good games in the past in which he kind of took over. He is coming off a bit of a down year. Looked like he could bust out and it just didn’t happen.
Mitchell Wilcox -TE- He finally came around a bit this year with the Bengals. The just non tendered him and it seems some people feel it’s a bit of a controversial decision. He doesn’t really standout in any of his physical traits, but made some clutch plays for the Bengals this year. Perfect #2 type guy.
Evan Brown -IOL- Mainly a center but can also play guard. I think he is interesting because of his outstanding RAS score coming out of SMU. He was pretty good filling in for an injured Frank Ragnow in 2021. Good depth and competition.
Connor McGovern -IOL- I talked a lot about the Jets version, this is the cowboys one from Penn State. He played well in spots but Dallas never turned things over to him full time, I am not sure why. But I think there is something there. He can play center and guard and I think he has potentially as a starting guard. Still just 25, he is a former linemate of Ryan Bates at PSU. 6-5, 320, with long arms, he fits the profile, while he isn’t the athletic freak they usually seek
You nailed the McGovern pick. Congrats. Now let’s get the others. I also feel like Poyer might come back, might. Looking like a Milano deal, test the market, play for a crappy team for 10% more or come back home! Go Bills.

I expect lots of tears on here before dinner time
I liked the McGovern signing. I expect a few serviceable players to be signed. Nobody sells hope like Buffalo!!! Edmonds was a hit, but now that money cam be used for a few good starters, and that’s what I considered Edmunds, a good player, but not a first round, pay with that kind of pay check. Go Billls and thanks for posting.

I disagree with not being genuine. He’s enamored with Bills fans and Buffalo.
