I’ve read all week that it’s the giants that are interested. I guess they want him in that Kurt Warner 2004 role if they draft someone. or they can not draft anyone and go get more weapons and plug in Stafford for three years or so.

Rookies playing and your starters injured is not the same thing. Very different actually.

The post directly above this one is blaming Josh!

that is because they had a number of guys who were good enough to fill in and play at wr. more importantly, the injury to rice didn't happen the week before, it happened months ago and he didn't play basically the whole year. Apples and Oranges. Had rice gone out vs houston and then worthy also and they didn't have hopkins then you could make this statement. Rice had nothing to do with the game played a few weeks ago.

yes they did and last year they missed a game tying kick with a few minutes to go. now imagine if the defense was injury free and not having to try and protect players and just run their scheme. They probably would have been running clock in those moments or looking to score to take a 2 score lead and seal the game.

its a fact. Missing benford and rapp was critical in this years loss and last years loss the defense was decimated. its not an excuse in any way. Trying to win the most difficult game of the year with backup players is really hard to do.

they have had critical injuries on defense each of the last 3 playoff losses. Its hard to beat good teams with your top corner out every year plus all the other injuries.

Speaking of Dallas, bosa is zekes former roomate. He is an off the field party guy just like zeke. The two of them blamed another roomate for their troubles to not affect their draft position. I wouldn't want Bosa at any price. Rarely plays, football doesn't seem all that important to him and is a party guy. probably wouldn't consider buffalo because of those reasons anyway.

Joe was on with Matt bove today talking about his offseason article.

Yea I have zero interest in Hollywood brown. jmo of course.

Dallas defensive line is worse than Buffalo's and they have matt eberflus so I imagine this is the kind of signing Dallas will be looking to make if Eberflus likes the player.

This is a mock plus more of an overall potential offseason outlook from Joe Buscaglia at the athletic. Here is the link. Bills mock offseason: Free agents, draft plans, and trade markets https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6149415/2025/02/21/bills-2025-mock-offseason-free-agent/ I don't want to give the whole thing away but he has a great plan for the offseason. I will just highlight the big things. I will say I wouldn't even pick up the phone and call hollywood brown let alone 2 years for 18 million. Bills cap space to begin the exercise: -$10.13 million The NFL informed teams that the 2025 salary cap would fall between $277.5 and $281.5 million, so for this exercise, we split the difference and put it at $279.5 million. The -$10.13 million hole is far smaller than what the Bills had to deal with last offseason before cutting all their big-name veterans to clear cap space. on von miller - resigned In this case, I had Miller taking a $10 million pay cut — meaning $10 million in cap savings. It would guarantee him over $7 million this season Restructures to Josh Allen, Dion Dawkins and Ed Oliver Release Sam Martin and trade Elam. he has the team resigning Douglas, Hollins, Ty Johnson, Reggie Gilliam, Ferguson and Quinton Morris Trade for Myles Garrett trade details Buffalo receives: DE Myles Garrett, 2026 5th round, 2027 7th round Cleveland receives: No. 30, 2026 1st round, 2027 4th round, DE A.J. Epenesa Free agent signings Hollywood Brown, Derek Barnett Then this is his mock for the rest of the draft. The pick at No. 56: CB Darien Porter, Iowa State The pick at No. 62: DT Jordan Phillips, Maryland The pick at No. 107: LB Chris Paul Jr., Ole Miss The pick at No. 130: EDGE Oluwafemi Oladejo, UCLA Trade! Bills receive Nos. 132 and 245 from Lions for Nos. 170 and 176. The pick at No. 132: S Billy Bowman Jr., Oklahoma The pick at No. 173: G Connor Colby, Iowa The pick at No. 203: WR Ricky White III, UNLV The pick at No. 205: QB Kurtis Rourke, Indiana The pick at No. 245: P Jeremy Crawshaw, Florida New Bills depth chart

proven as false already. In other news Zach Martin retired today. The cowboys had two first ballot hall of famers on their line along with travis frederick who was outstanding and couldn't even make a championship game. All while playing every year in perfect weather conditions and in a division that has had one good team in it over the last decade.

The athletic has a mock draft this morning from all the beat writers. All of the defensive guys we all keep talking about were taken and Joe Buscaglia went with this. 30. Buffalo Bills: Matthew Golden, WR, Texas In case you’re wondering … yes, there were brief discussions with the Browns about Myles Garrett for this mock. While there was no deal this time, the Bills are a clear match in terms of team needs, winning environment and motivation. As for this selection, while the Bills have defensive needs, they also lacked receivers who could separate in the intermediate and deep areas of the field. They also didn’t have a true starter at Z-receiver in 2024. Drafting Golden gives them all those things they were missing, with a tremendous bargain at No. 30. This was the best need-meets-value option on the board, with two second-round picks on the way to address the defense and take advantage of the defensive line depth in this class. — Joe Buscaglia

Didnt he say he hated buffalo and its fans? I imagine he ends up with the chargers or something. I guess maybe wherever rodgers goes. Maybe they are co h0sting a podcast next year together solving pressing world issues while eating taco bell.

https://www.nfl.com/news/2025-nfl-free-agency-derek-carr-tyler-lockett-among-21-notable-cut-candidates-in-nfc?campaign=Twitter_atn potential cuts around the league. interesting note there on cam Jordan. We have his old coach from the saints on staff. of course most teams would be interested in him if he is affordable though.

100%. He is a giant No. seems like the kind of guy that will land in baltimore or the jets or something. Maybe even Cincy if they end up gutting their roster because of money.

I was just reading that Dalvin tomlinson could be cut in cleveland because of their bad cap situation. He fits the bill as maybe an upgrade over Jones. He might be too expensive though considering that position is probably going to see two rookies get drafted.

that is possible. One of the biggest mistakes a lot of teams make is thinking they are deep at a position and moving guys for mid to late round picks. Then they end up with injuries and are chasing the position during the season. O-lineman can play while. I still consider 26 and 27 young for those positions when have had almost no experience. I guess I just don't want them to weaken a positional group that is strength because you never know what can happen.

if they have edwards on the team at training camp I imagine that would be too late to trade him. He is not keeping the younger guys off the roster, they already have room for those guys. One of those young guys will take his spot next year unless they use a high pick in 26 for that spot, highly unlikely.

I don't think Cooper is interested in playing at a discount honestly. Plenty of teams have cap space to pay a guy like cooper. His play was nothing special here and he too had a wrist injury that limited him. He gets no grief and fans want him back but they ignore colemans injury and hate him. Kind of a weird thing to me. I really cant imagine a scenario where cooper is back unless I am completely misreading the guy and he will play at a discount.

if those are accurate numbers then yes. Jones will not be on the team.

The heat is not being turned up on beane or mcdermott. Sorry to burst your rage balloon. Those guys are safe in their jobs and are in control of the organization. They had a good plan over the last two years with what they wanted to do on offense. Now they are going to turn the plan to the defense. They need a blue chip player either in the secondary or on the defensive line. That is the hope out of those three top 100 picks they have in the first two rounds. Find a blue chip player at one of those positions. also spare me your homer comments. Its just boring. I remember just a few weeks ago when the broncos and ravens rolled into orchard park with their future hall of fame coaches, mvp players and all pro's and pro bowlers all over their lineups and the bills beat them with what you call a non talented team. Pretty weird how that happens. You would think all those great players on those two teams would just win the game. Guess not

I would say the secondary is the first area to be addressed. They need a starting corner opposite benford and they need a starting safety that is a centerfielder. The defensive line is going to get players in the draft and free agency but at least the D line has Groot, Oliver, AJ and Carter. The secondary is screaming for help as we currently sit here. When the league year opens I expect they will sign a safety or a corner depending on how they view those positions in the draft. Basically 3 years in a row in the playoffs they have had serious injuries in the secondary which have really hurt them in those games.

where did the terrific offensive line come from? The great group at rb? A very good group at Tight end? These guys just magically appeared and Beane is responsible for the guys that under performed. Do you realize the ignorance and hypocrisy of what you are saying. I too am not a fan of losing to the chiefs again in the playoffs however I am pretty well aware that the 23 team was completely compromised on defense and the 24 team 5 minutes into the game were playing without their number 1 corner and safety which affected what they could do and how well they could do the basics. It sucks but, missing short field goals and having major defensive injuries are the reason the Bills lost the last two games to the chiefs in the playoffs. This is part of the reason why I am convinced they are going to attack the defense this offseason with young players and a couple new coaches, they hired the coaches already. Just like they attacked and changed the offense after the bengals loss. I have full confidence this front office is going to continue bringing in good players and the soon to be overhaul on defense will pay off. I think they know they need a centerfielder and I think they will address that at the mid level of free agency and then do the same at the wr position allowing them to bring in players on defense, the strength of the draft. Tight ends seemed to be abundant this year and the wr seem to be 2nd and 3rd round guys so it could play out well for buffalo. I imagine a handful of good defensive players fall into the area where the bills have their first 3 picks because the amount of tight ends who will go high will probably a better way to use a 1st or 2nd round pick instead of on a dt.
