I definitely would like that. Do you think they’re just trying to be patient and wait it out so that his price goes down? It just seems like crickets, even on interest, since we couldn’t get Watt.

I mentioned this earlier, but if it comes down to it, at least take a flyer on someone like him so as to try to improve the pass rush. As someone else in the thread already mentioned, you can’t go into the season with pass rusher the way it is now. Here’s to hoping the bills have something up their sleeve.

Patience has definitely paid off for Beane. I mentioned this before in another thread, but one of the reasons I really like him, is that he doesn’t mortgage the future just for a player or players. Here’s to hoping he can still get something done when it comes to a pass rusher.

Yeah, I agree. I believe he’s done a great job too. I even knew this year was going to be a lot harder with the cap situation. That said, before free agency started, if there was just one thing that I was hoping he could pull off, it was pass rusher. Great thought! Out of the Raiders you listed, who would you prefer?

Knowing the money situation, I’d be happy with just a pass rusher. I love your word yet. Beane has often pulled things out of the hat through patience. Who in your opinion would still be a good option for us as a pass rusher at the right price? I agree about the Lombardi. Pass rusher, in my opinion, is the missing piece. We have superstars at some positions, serviceable players at other positions. That said, pass rusher seems like the hole. Here’s to hoping he can pull off some thing soon, bro!

Thanks for sharing. What’s your opinion on why they haven’t looked at any of the free agents that you’ve listed? Do you think they just don’t have the money? Because to me, some of the free agents you listed seem like they would be good options.

I like your thoughts about him being a Darkhorse. As long as the money is reasonable, I don’t believe it would hurt to take a risk, especially with who we have now.

Why don’t you think they’re going after Houston? Age, money or something else? Yup. Agreed! I’ve had similar thoughts. Kind of surprised that they haven’t shown interest in him. Do you think it comes down to them not thinking he’s a process guy? Part of the reason I started the thread was because I don’t know as much about players outside of the bills. That said, there’s been a few available players that I’ve been surprised that the bills haven’t shown interest.

I agree and this is part of the reason I brought up the topic. We really need someone and was wondering what the mafia was thinking about the remaining FAs as well as draft prospects.

I agree. Anybody you can think of either a remaining free agent or in the draft that could help? Why don’t you think they’re interested in either? Is it just money in your opinion?

Would you guys take a flyer on him?

I was wondering about Justin Houston. That said, I don’t know enough about him. So, I didn’t know if the Bills weren’t interested because of age or money?

Man, if that’s the case, I really hope Beane can pull off some type of miracle. Pass rusher, at least in my opinion, is THE piece they need.

Thanks for your thoughts. What route would you take? Remaining FA or draft?

I don’t know much about him but he is Washington’s all time sack leader.

As I believe most of us think, we still need a viable option at pass rusher to take the next step this year. While I am very knowledgeable of our Bills, I don’t pretend to be as knowledgeable with players around the NFL. And, I definitely don’t know much about college players. So, I’d like to hear from you, the mafia. If you were Beane, and the price did not mortgage our future, would you chase after a remaining free agent pass rusher? Or, would you get someone in draft? If it’s a remaining pass rusher, who would you get? If it’s the draft, who would you draft? Thanks for your thoughts. Go Bills!

I guess that “stunning” audition last year sold them. Hopefully he “trips” them up this year.

Don’t need to necessarily win 3 of 4 in a SB run. .500 ball is acceptable. Bills lost two in a row last year on their way to the AFCG. Heck, even the Pats have had a SB run (and won it) losing two out of four. To each his own, but with us being contenders, I’d rather have the guy who has had some experience if we needed him for a stretch. Hopefully it won’t come to that though and we have JA the whole year again.

Since he’s unproven, it’s quite possible. 🤣 Really? Not saying Fromm is bad (we don’t know) but Trubisky at least has played in and won many games. And, his stats aren’t as bad as his rep seems to be.

This is what I love about Beane and McD. While it would’ve been great to get Ertz, they typically only get really good players when it doesn’t mortgage their future. They want sustained success not just a run.

I agree. And, it feels good. Although, I’d still like them to add at least a good pass rusher.

Interesting thought. If you were Beane, do you really want to have to trust Fromm though if we are on a Super Bowl run and JA goes down for a few weeks to a month?

I get what you’re saying. I hope that they are able to add a good pass rusher this off-season. That said, they were much better in the second half of the year. And, we are getting Star back. We know how missed he was last year. I’m not saying our defense will be all world because of him but our defense will look different (and be better) next year with him in there again.

That must’ve been brutal.

Bro, major props for making it three weeks though. Don’t think I’ve ever heard of someone having to wait so long. Not even close!
