I don’t really understand Von and Knox taking pay cuts. What leverage do the Bills have in this scenarios? They can’t really cut these guys due to the dead cap. Why do the players say yes?

I think Chase is way better than Higgins. I would probably deal him to a team that needs a #1 WR and get some assets.

It’s possible you are being sarcastic, but if not I have two questions for you. 1. Who led the NFL in total yards last year? 2. Who led the NFL in total TDs last year?

Bills minimum should be to make the playoffs. The goal should be to win the division. Anything else is gravy. It’s a retool type of year, when some young guys might be learning on the job.

He had a few close ones uncalled, and I think I remember him smoking his own teammate twice. He reminds me of Sandejo where he launches himself like a rocket when he hits. For his snap count, it was noticeable. Maybe McDermott can rein him in.

I don’t think he was great in pass coverage, and was a walking personal foul. If the contract is actually full of incentives and the guaranteed money is more like a backup then it’s fine. But I’m hoping he at least has serious competition from another FA or draft pick for the starting role.

Don’t like that at all

This was a no brainer

Why didn’t we keep Bates?

I kind of wonder if this is slightly a favor to Bates. He’s good enough to start and he’s stuck on the bench here. I think this guarantees Morse is returning for another year.

I would really like to re-sign D. Jones. Not sure how realistic it is, but defense was night and day with him in.

Sign Cousins, draft Marvin Harrison Jr. Seems pretty straightforward.

Okay, I want Worthy now. He’s not a pure burner either, he’s a legit WR.

You mean he couldn’t catch the deep balls Mayfield threw him?

Evans is incredible, and would absolutely tear it up with Allen. I just don’t see how we can afford him without crippling our future. But that is why they pay Beane the big bucks.

Hey…we still have Kingsley Jonathan under contract…

I think they let pretty much anybody write for MSN. It’s a half step above Bleacher Report. That being said…wouldn’t surprise me if they took an EDGE at the end of the first depending on how things shake out.

I think Beane has done okay on getting value in our second contracts with players, which is what KC has failed to do here. I’m not sure what your point is.

I've never broken a woman's leg. Why is Hill frequently in scenarios like this? He's not a good person.

I think he'll likely get cut this offseason or in camp. Usually teams go with rookies, or players with more upside for the role he currently fills. It's possible he could slot in as depth safety somewhere in the league though. Or possibly a vet practice squad spot.

Gabe had some flashes of ability, but he wasn’t on the same page as Allen at a way higher rate than any of our other pass catchers. The most recent example I can think of was our last game against the Dolphins where there was a cover zero blitz in the red zone. Allen threw to a spot he thought Gabe would be and Gabe cut in making it an easy pick for the CB. Like a lot of these, it’s hard to know if it’s on Allen or Davis, but why does it happen so much with them?

I think he’ll get 2 years $60-70m somewhere. He’s carved out a niche as an ideal bridge QB for a team that is looking to draft a rookie this year or next year and let them sit. Pats would be a good fit. Commanders maybe if they aren’t sold on Howell. Raiders possibly as well. He can get you to the playoffs, and even elevate his play when the game is on the line and you need to push the ball down the field.

I would say the Jags (Lawrence) were also very unlucky. They were basically a lock for a playoff spot and fell off a cliff after the golden boy got a high ankle sprain. Looking at the NFC, Minny (Cousins) was super unlucky. I think he might have been MVP if he had stayed healthy. He was leading in all major passing categories when he went down.

I think horrible tackler is an exaggeration. I would say average tackler for a CB, and pretty much on par with Hyde. Hyde wasn’t exactly a stalwart in the running game. He mostly just cleaned up guys by tackling them low if they got to the second level.

2023 - Bad luck. It was actually kind of amazing the game was as close as it ended up being considering all of our starting CB and LBers were out or severely limited. 2022 - Bad luck partially. Offensive play calling partially. Allen with the partially torn UCL. Von Miller and White out and limited but sucking up a lot of cap space. Plus all the other BS that happened that season. 2021 - Coaching 100%. Really no other explanation. 2020 - Chiefs were just better than us. 2019 - Coaching a bit. Offense and defense underperformed a bit based on the regular season. So I guess I'd say 30% bad luck, 40% coaching, 30% just not being as good as the other team.
