He gave up a 2020 first and the equivalent of a 2021 third with the remainder. So not that far off spiritually 🤣 That being the case, a 2026 first and a 2027 first plus players for salary filler seems like fair value considering Parsons at time of trade is definitely more valuable than Diggs at time of trade.

It wasn't 2 firsts, but the rest of the package (a 5th, 6th, and next year's 4th) made it equivalent to a late 3rd rounder. So a essentially a first and third for Diggs. I'd bump the third up to a first for Parsons all day every day. From there sending out a couple JAGs to make the salary work is a no brainier. I'm totally with you here. Too bad he's not a compression style DEnd with a 6 sack ceiling, so not a fit anyway 😭

I'm fine rolling with Hancock in the box. He's athletic and seems to have good instincts. Hope he wins it.

Main difference being that he's mobile and has actual arm strength. Colloquially known as "tools"

Tyson Bagent looks like he's better than any drought era QB we had besides maybe Fitz or Tyrod

All my friendzies are in a frenzy!

I would absolutely love a Parsons trade (basically like getting Von in his prime instead of the twilight) but I think Beane is scarred from the Von experience. Plus we'd have to send back a decent chunk of salary to make it work under the cap, and I think they want to stick with their compression style edges rather than the speed/bend guys unfortunately. I agree it would instantly make us the super bowl faves. A guy can dream but it's almost certainly not happening. In any event, Jerry loves RBs, throw him Cook for the salary (lol if we trade him immediately after the contract saga), Landon Jackson to get him a Razorback positional replacement, a 2026 first and a 2027 3rd. Super Bowl 🤣

I think the Jackson pick in tandem with Sanders/Walker is a tell on how the Bills want to generate pass rush. The theory seems to be edge-setter/compression style DEs (Rousseau/Bosa/AJE/Jackson) that contain on the outside with length & power while the rush comes from the DTs into the QB's face (Ed/TJ/Walker all penetration style IDL) and they have no escape lanes outside (where Lamar & Mahomes kill teams extending plays).I like the theory, I just hope we have the horses to pull it off otherwise the CBs & safeties are going to be seriously stressed. I trust Benford but if Tre is creaky and Hairston can't get up to speed and the safety tandem never gets figured out... we will have a tough time getting off the field on 3rd & long yet again. Just get Josh the ball back when you're supposed to and good things will happen!

Tee's 34" arms > Keon's 32" arms Might not seem like much, but if you can't separate it matters a great deal

This has TB12 written all over it IMHO. Trying to be Belichick, ruthless to the employees, send a message

K-Gun was named after Keith McKellar that's a pretty big impact too

Charles Clay signed a lucrative contract. Robert Foster was Josh Allen's best weapon his rookie year. Just read this whole thread front to back for the first time, incredible contributions everyone!

Came here to say Owens. Seems like he could be this year's surprise on the 53 like Andreesen

Beane mentioned potentially some 1T plans for him

They definitely didn't get smoked in that super bowl. A pretty bad defensive holding call tilted it late

Yes, much like last year initial 53 was Rapp, Bishop, Hamlin, and Mike Edwards at S with Lewis listed as CB. This year could be Rapp, Bishop, Forrest and Owens at S with Hancock listed as CB.

That's why trading up for BTJR was definitely the move. Could have easily been done with the 2025 Diggs pick, and we wouldn't have had to burn a 2025 3rd rounder on a half season of Amari Cooper. Josh would have an alpha burner to open everything else up on a cost controlled contract for 5 years 😭😭😭

The picks he traded for Diggs along with the 1st rounder would have been enough to move into the 13-ish range, didn't have to sit there crossing his fingers that a stud would fall. Tee Higgins & Michael Pittman Jr. would have been options if he had stayed at 22 regardless of whether Jefferson was still there.

I played pickup pickleball last night with a totally random guy who jumped in and completely schooled me & my friends. I made a passing joke like "I'm getting old" at the end (I'm 41) and he went on a rant about how he just turned 60 and me and my friends all need to get on testosterone supplements, he started when he was 45 and wished he'd done it sooner. Like he would not let it go, he was adamant that we do it. Honestly it was a great advertisement for it, the guy was absolutely shredded and looked as young or younger than me. It was pretty eye opening not gonna lie.

Delilah's might be the best Bills bar on the planet

One difference among others 🤣 The Julio Jones stuff is just a lark for an off-season laugh, right guys??

I think some of those figures might be off slightly but point taken. I'd like to see what this guy's got and I hope he makes it

yep, the unlikely to be attained count against the next year's cap though if they are achieved
