dollars 2 donuts

Remaining items on Beane's list because I believe in this moment in time there is nothing he can't do: 1. Trade for DK Metcalf without giving up any players or important draft picks; 2. Sign S. Gilmore to start at CB for the veteran minimum; 3. Make it so "The Last Jedi" never existed either here or in any of the other multiverses, except for the multiverses where I have hair (f*** those lucky jerks); 4. Sign 66 year old Jeff Nixon to a 1 game cap friendly (of course) contract so he can play against the Dolphins at home one more time to try and duplicate or surpass his four turnover game (3 INTs, 1 FR) that ended the 20 game losing streak in 1980 and so he can hang with Poyer and Hyde, where he belongs. OK...so...giddy up now.

His decline in 2020-21 was to catch 164 balls for 1,660 yards. It is the highest 2 year receiving total for the #2 on this team in franchise history, and he was hurt in 2021 which might explain the yardage reduction. If people want him gone and also don't think his cap figures work, fine. My thing is I don't look at 82 receptions last year and go, "meh, whatever", because I believe (and correct me if I am wrong) besides Peerless Price's 94 receptions in 2002, no Buffalo Bill #2 receiver has ever caught as many as 82 receptions in a season.* * Correction, one other BB #2 receiver has...Beasley with 82 receptions in 2020.

This one…hurts a bit.

I don’t even have the words. 😢

CB, WR (Stefon/Davis future replacement, just incase?), RB, LB (Edmunds future replacement, just incase?), OL (depth) in any reasonable order that makes sense given what's available in the round.

He knows. The logo itself permeates your very soul.

Halfway around the world... I know we have fans all over the place, but this is just boggling my mind. He is a great guy who knows his stuff when it comes to guitars and I like him for his honest opinions...love him for his honest opinions, really...and then he rolls up one day wearing a Bills t-shirt for his review?!!! We were at Disney last week and given the new world order of things I should have expected Winnie the Pooh to show up at Epcot for photos wearing an Alex Tuch #89 Sabres jersey... ...with a "C" on it. 😁 EDIT OR ADD: man...@ 3:26 it is just Shane talking with the Fender Custom Shop Tele and "Bills" and Bills logo in all their combined glory.

It’s never come up before on his channel. I’ve been a subscriber for awhile now. could he be…a cousin of Brandon Beane’s? 🤔

Seriously?! I love guitars/blues and the Bills. I have been watching the Bills since being a youngster for 50 years and I have been watching Australian YouTuber Shane’s site intotheblues for years. ok, he’s got a video on a custom shop Fender. I’m down with that, but then…wait….what?!! Already a subscriber but could I be a bigger fan?* * No

Thanks JJ, fixed. I should have gone back and read it but we were on vacation.

Yeah, ok, but WE didn’t start the fire. Hasn’t it always been burning since the world's been you know, rotating on its axis?

All the D signings have been great, but isn’t protecting 17 kinda…I don’t know, important to this team’s success?

I want nuch as my life coach.

Stefon Diggs restructure? watching money go to Godwin, etc. will they be able to do this?

@Sherlock Holmes I'm with you, Sherlock, I am. I also remember the lonely times when only a few of us were on the beach of "Keep Milano Island" until last season when you couldn't even find a place to sit in the sun anymore and the bar line went on forever. Yes, he is a great guy, but even forget about that because his metrics for what he meant to the defense were starting to get ridiculous and it showed. His "high tide" was raising all ships upfront and in the middle of the Bills D and even outside of Buffalo it was getting noticed. However, I do hope next season this leads them to resigning Oliver, but I really could have lived with those two being together for awhile here.

No Saint, you may be right, but I will say I absolutely don't see him going there for Fitzpatrick 2010/11 money of 11-12 million per. Didn't someone say if it is over $15 million our comp pick becomes a 3rd rounder? Sorry that I don't have the deets.

BF4, a solid take. Yes, it doesn't change anything for this year, the last year of Allen's lower cap amount (which is perfect for super bowl runs), but a really good point, brother. I knew that, but hadn't considered it.

Cutting all this dead weight to give us 30-40 million dollars to play with in free agency. ...oh wait, that's not what this is about. We are just plain a cash strapped team and we are trying to clear space and make some difficult decisions to keep some of our own guys and maybe sign one or two free agents. I adore this team, but the Bills glasses some around here have been wearing have been a bit unreasonable...and blurry. We are going to be fine, but again I'll state our 2021, especially as it jelled just before the playoffs, was a great team, top to bottom, and a potential world championship roster, save for the fact (which was a big one and played a big part in our season) that one of the best DBs in the league was out.* * Honestly, when he went down in New Orleans I thought that was going to be the thing that would stop this team from going all the way. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't, depending upon how you look at it, but it was so huge.

It will be sign the current Bills as necessary and then it will be 1, maybe 2 guys in FA that matter. Difference makers? Meh, but they will add to the team. I just don’t understand how some think the cap is nothing, but then don’t consider that not everybody we are letting go of falls under the category of “away with you! You displease us!”. Some of those guys have to go because we don’t have the cap space and it is not like a ton of space was freed up. Of course They can make more moves, but not enough to make such a remarkable splash that they can go after anybody in the market.

Please, SG. Why would he flirt with going to the defending AFC Champions who have more than 50 million dollars in cap space when he can be low or middle balled to come to Buffalo?

What the FUUUUUUUUUUUDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDGGGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEEE?! Thank yo, that's a no from me. Magox, thank you for the Cliff notes.

Big day in deed. How much is riding on this for this guy? I'd be crazy stressed out if I were him. He should go out and get a nice relaxing massa... ...he should do some yoga.

Absolutely concur. The thing is, Hap, that wasn’t my main point, though. It was tied to the my earlier post of this not being easy and we won’t be as talented this year. I’m not down on the team at all, but there are a few of cuts coming and not a ton of cap space to fill the holes, along with having to re-sign some of our own talent. sal or someone tweeted Dodson will be able to back up both Edmunds and Milano, but you know what was also good? Having Klein and Dodson. That’s why matching this coming year’s talent with last year’s is going to be tough and not necessarily a reasonable expectation.

Agreed that it had to be done. I don't wholeheartedly disagree with your second point, but I do disagree, if for no other reason than we are going to lose more guys, experienced with our system, than we are going to get through the door. This isn't a one for one, every time. Even getting rid of Klein, a player who was a reasonably dependable asset, we are still not under the cap, and we still have to replace him. We also know it is pretty darn likely we are not replacing him for another 5 million dollar LB, especially when we have other holes and and we have to resign some other assets for good money. We are likely going to lose Cole, but maybe we keep Isiah who may cost what we were paying Cole. This year we had both of them, two assets, but in 2022 we will have just one and not much additional cap space from it, if any.

And yes, HUDS, agree completely with the above, especially with the belief that it had to be done. We need to be able to do things and trimming has to be done. Somebody's going to get a pretty good guy, though.
