Edit! McKenzie is back on a 2 year deal worth 4.4 million
Coach Tuesday replied to BillsMafi$'s topic in The Stadium Wall
No kidding I could see Beasley in Tampa Bay now. -
But part of the OP’s point is that you don’t have to go big on Day 1 of FA - but if you do, and you’re probably going to have to overpay, sign the right guys. There are opportunity costs involved in signing the wrong guys, even if you don’t vastly overpay. I know you don’t hate that Star contract, whereas I think it’s the worst free agent contract in franchise history - mainly because of opportunity cost involved. That stupid signing has come back to bite them each of the past now THREE offseasons. When you consider the moves they couldn’t make because they felt the need to chase Star, that deal has been an abject disaster. Slightly overpaying do-called ST mavens means they didn’t allocate the money to positions of greater value. And relatedly - can you think of a single recent Bills free agent signee who has actually out-performed his contract? There have been none of them which is very odd. The only recent FA to out-perform has been Poyer, who predated Beane - and as a result of all of that Poyer successfully leveraged for a raise last offseason.
-
Post more often. Spot on. Many of Beane’s free agent signings have been on par with those of his predecessors at OBD. When you consider that Poyer and Hyde were pre-Beane acquisitions it really highlights the issue - this much-hyped pro personnel department has yet to earn its money or reputation to date. This is really a critical offseason and they cannot afford to repeat past mistakes - it will end up all on the shoulders of JA17 yet again.

The Browns franchised their number 2 tight end then traded for a $20M number 2 receiver. They’re off to an interesting start to the offseason…

Cowboys already in contact with Wagner.

Joe Marino's mock offseason for the Bills
Coach Tuesday replied to HappyDays's topic in The Stadium Wall
Gotta add Joneses to keep up with the Joneses… -
My point is that despite all the rumors and hype, the Bills sat out free agency and trades last year after basically announcing that they’d be doing so. I expect more of the same this year.
-
You don’t remember the JJ Watt rumors? Clowney? Sammy Watkins’ return? Also Beane has basically already said the same thing about this year’s free agency.
-
Do folks not remember all the early March/Combine free agency hype surrounding the Bills last year? All the “big splash” rumors that were discussed endlessly here for weeks? Then they resigned some of their own players and a new (terrible) punter and called it a day. Prepare to be disappointed. If you’re feeling whelmed now, take the under.

Khalil Mack traded to Chargers for 2nd and 6th round picks
Coach Tuesday replied to FluffHead's topic in The Stadium Wall
Good for SD, they need someone to chase Wilson and Mahomes around. Hopefully the AFC West will wear itself out. The Bills are gonna need that, because they are run like a used car dealership. -
There are linebackers in this draft that could be had from rounds 2-5 who could probably step in and replace what the Bills are getting from Edmunds - maybe not the same combination of physical traits but their instincts may be better.

Here’s a couple of moves that make sense to me.
Coach Tuesday replied to Tipster19's topic in The Stadium Wall
<checks thread to see which moves will absolutely NEVER happen> -
Ok.
-
TSW free agency porn.
-
Las Vegas also makes a ton of sense. Point is, zero chance Beane (i) cuts bait on Edmunds and (ii) signs a prized FA linebacker in his 30s. Zero.
-
What about Beane’s approach to his own draftees and free agency generally would lead anyone to think they’d consider cutting bait on Edmunds and signing Bobby Wagner? It’s a waste of thought energy. Wouldn’t be surprised if the Cowboys or Chiefs signed him tomorrow. Beane doesn’t go after prized free agents, he just doesn’t. The man has never had any credit card debt in his entire life - that’s who he is.
-
To be clear I’m not saying they should do this, I’m just painting a picture of what a possible “splash” offseason spending spree would look like. Agree re Chandler Jones. As for Von Miller, not sure where he fits into this defense and they don’t have $20M to pay him given their other needs.

Splash offseason: Sign Kirk and Gronk Trade the first for McCaffrey and use him as a hybrid slot receiver Tickets will be sold.

Speculative article on friction between McDermott and Staff?
Coach Tuesday replied to BillsMafi$'s topic in The Stadium Wall
We will find out pretty quickly next season. If the players start tuning out McD because of the Chiefs debacle (which 100% was a McD failure), it’ll show up as soon as they face some adversity. -
Bills interested in signing Rob Gronkowski, per Tim Graham
Coach Tuesday replied to HappyDays's topic in The Stadium Wall
Yup and there’s one guy saying “no thanks I’d rather win a Super Bowl with homegrown talent” I mean Christ, THE DUDE LITERALLY WENT TO WILLIAMSVILLE NORTH. You cannot get any more “farm to table” than Gronk. I am starting to believe Quarantine Brain is a real thing.
