You guys do know that you wouldn't receive much more for Milano than what you received for Ryan Bates right? What world do you guys live in where you think Milano would go for anything more than a late 4th? 30 year old off ball linebackers are simply not a sought after position in the NFL. Long story short. Milano means 100 times more to the Buffalo Bills than any other NFL defense.

Who are you taking? Polk or Coleman? McConkey or Pearsall? Thomas Jr or Franklin? Mitchell or Legette? Thats not even mentioning Burton, Wilson, Swift, Washington, Rice This draft is loaded

I heard the biggest knock on him to the Bills was that he wasn't smooth and elusive and would struggle creating his own separation in the NFL? Experts are saying they'd prefer guys who can create separation to play with Josh Allen.

People don't want to hear this but I personally believe a few receivers are being bumped up into Round 1 and early Round 2 who are big risks. Xavier Worthy Troy Franklin Keon Coleman These guys provide a ridiculous skill set but have a few more red flags than the Ladd McConkey and Xavier Legette of the world. AD Mitchell you better be damn sure he's going to reach his potential otherwise that can be bust. Basically I could comfortably see these guys having better pro careers than the first three mentioned. Ricky Pearsall Malachi Corley Roman Wilson Brenden Rice Malik Washington Jalynn Polk Jermaine Burton (character questions)

Look im far from a Dawson Knox supporter. I wouldn't overly care if was released tomorrow. The fact is, is he does a heck of a lot more than just chip block as you call it. The guy is one of the better blocking athletic tight ends in the NFL. He already took a pay cut. If he has another season like last year production wise he will take another one as the writing will be on the wall. Either way Kincaid isn't even in the same stratosphere as a blocker as Knox and until he is id prefer to have Knox around.

I think the Bills need to either trade for a top tier young receiver or top tier young dend with Diggs cap space. The reality is, is we can afford to bring one of those positions along through the development of a rookie but not two. Rosseau and an established Dend with Epenesa as an immediate 3rd is way ahead of anything the Bills have had. Could you imagine if the Bills swing a Brent Burns style trade like the Giants next off season? Bills would be set at QB, both dends, and LT. arguably the 3 hardest positions to fill. I love cost certainty which picks bring but the Bills need a for sure hit at either the # 1 receiver or Dend spot. If the Jags come to the Bills next off season and say your 1st and a 3rd for Josh Allen (Jags Dend) The Bills need to seriously entertain that.

Knox is overpaid by 3 million. People really need to get over Knox. If Knox is your quote on quote worst contract (news flash Von is) You're doing OK. He does need to do more and the timely brutal drops must go but he's a solid player. If the Bills released him he would be on the market for 10 minutes before signing a new contract for a lot more than people expected. A guy who brings Knox athletism who can block is a desirable commodity in the NFL. Besides if Knox has another season like last year he will either take another paycut or he will have lived up to his contract in which case who cares. Its not like he's a super diva whose going to cause a stink. The guy knows his value and wants to be a Buffalo Bill and stay with Josh Allen. Outside the very best of the best of the best. That is exactly how Tight Ends are used. Knox is an above avg. blocking Tight End in the NFL of guys who can actually go out and run routes. Is he a Lee Smith? No. But teams also know Lee Smith isn't a threat in any other way.

He absolutely would. He plays on a offense that doesn't require him to and he isn't asked to because the Niners are loaded with offensive talent. Vikings are like the Diggs version of the Bills. They know if Jefferson isn't going theyre screwed so they need to feed him the ball. Good thing they got Addison. If you traded for Aiyuk and drafted Xavier Legette you'd essentially would be replicating the Niners only you'd have Josh Allen and better oline. T. Williams is there only above avg. lineman. Sure CMC, Kittle, Samuel would be better than Cook, Kincaid, and a hypothetical Legette but you'd also be adding Shakir and Samuel and you'd be much further ahead. The Bills have Allen which is the most difficult piece to get. The Bills could make this offense scary so fast. They really should be going full throttle to do this.

No No and No too trading for any player over 30 and using precious draft capital and cap space on them. Bills are hitting the second phase of Allen's career. Every decision they make needs to be about how do we maximize our window moving forward for the next 5 years with Allen. Not how do you desperately stay competitive year to year. Thats when teams crash and burn and can't fix their cap year to year holding on to and underperformed and injured older players. Now is the time to either double dip in the first two rounds of the most loaded receiver draft ever or trade for an established young receiver whose going to be an ascending asset for the next 5 to 6 seasons. A guy like Higgins or Aiyuk.

This didn't age well. lol Can't afford to. Bills need all their draft capital and will need to add a corner, Guard/Right Tackle, plus a Dend next year with our 1st and two 2nds. Spencer Brown might price himself off the team. Rosseau will likely get around 18 to 20 million as well. Bills can walk away with two solid receivers at 28 and a small trade up to early 50s from 60.

Beasley you might have an argument he was damn good that year. Brown was injured and done that season. Davis was a rookie and outside a few sprinkles of flash plays didn't do much. Singletary is no Cook and did next to nothing. Knox was a rookie and useless. Now let's add a Shakir and Samuel who blow the injured Brown and Rookie Davis socks off. Todays Knox destroys rookie Knox. Kincaid is so much far and away better and more dynamic than the 2020 Tightends and quite honestly will be better than Beasley and allows the Bills to run much more dynamic looks. Cook is so much better than Singletary. Singletary just doesn't come close to being anywhere near as dynamic or as much as a game breaker. People forget that Cook was 5th in the NFL in all purpose yards. Singletary goes to bed at night of dreaming in the top 25. Oline is better across the board outside center. McGovern is no slouch either. Josh Allen is better today than back then. So basically Diggs vs. to be named receivers. Does 2020 Diggs tilt the scale that much? He was awesome. I think the Bills win a Superbowl in either 2020 or 2021 with that Diggs and the current Bills supporting cast. I stand by what I said. The 2024 offensive roster is more talented and the 2020 Diggs is the only reason why its within a reach of the 2024 Buffalo Bills who could easily add a Tyler Boyd and Xavier Legette still to this roster and likely will.

Outside Diggs this offense is so much more loaded than 2020. Oline is leaps and bounds better. Beane will correct the receiver issue. I have no doubt about that. On the defensive side 2020 was better but I actually might take the 2024 front 7. That 2020 secondary though was All Pro level. Kinda comes down to Bernard vs. Edmunds. Rosseau vs. Hughes. Epenesa/Miller vs. Addison and Jones vs. Harrison. Personally I am taking 2024 in every case with Rosseau vs. Hughes being a push and maybe Edmunds ahead of Bernard but its close.

Beane doesn't get a pass but he's a good GM. I have 3 complaints about him. I used to have 4 with the oline but with the emergence of Brown and Torrence and McGovern being a steal of a signing I can't say the oline anymore. 1. The Von Miller contract. Never ever spend that much money on any free agent whose over 30. I'd go a step further and say over 27. 2. Diggs has basically been Josh Allen only weapon the entire time. Beane has completely failed in surrounding Allen with elite offensive talent. He's taken short cuts on offense hoping it would work out. Dear lord Isiah Mckenzie was our # 3 receiver two seasons ago. That is disgusting and inexcusable. Blowing two 3rds and a 2nd on RB. multiple receivers are on the field at any one time. Why aren't we using premium picks there for offensive positions? 3. Hes over paid and remaind loyal to defensive players who aren't playing premium positions (Poyer/Hyde) And a rotating list of back up dends and dtackles and its come at the expense of not being able to surround our offense with elite talent. McDermott is a defensive coach. Let him turn late round picks and bargain FA signings into decent players.

Feel like Buffalo being a small market where views are aimed to reach a 100 000 people not millions you get what you get with the local media. Its Buffalo. You're never really fully removed from the fans and the team. I think if the local media was as tough as the media in New York, Boston, or Philly you'd really make Buffalo an undesirable destination. People don't want to head this but it's true. Green Bay if I'm not mistaken is also well known for praising the team rather than be tough with the Packers. As it pertains to Diggs. I think he just wanted out of Buffalo (the city) and wanted to move on when he thought a Superbowl was going to be more of a grind to achieve then when he first got here. Personally I'll take the 27 million in capspace and move on. AJ GREEN, JULIO JONES, ANDRE JOHNSON, DEZ BRYANT, ANTONIO BROWN, MARVIN HARRISON, ERIC MOULDS, etc all saw their production significantly decrease after their age 31 season. Take the 2nd and move on.

Gifted was the wrong word but Diggs now being gone and Von being released = 45 million in cap space in 2025. That's space most teams with a Josh Allen dont have. Besides Knox, what bad contract do the Bills have moving forward?
