    That is because they have tried to lean into the offense. Other than the Dline the rest of this defense is: two 3rd at linebacker; a 3rd and a 6th at corner; a 4th at nickel; a 2nd round bust reclamation and a 6th at safety. Okay there are two 1sts and a 2nd on the Dline. But otherwise there isn't a ton of draft investment in that group. Conversley the O room now has: a 1st at QB; a 1st and the first pick of the 2nd at wide receiver; a 5th at slot; a 1st at tight end and a 2nd at running back; two 2nds, two 3rds and a 5th on the oline. 

     

    There was a point when Josh was the only high pick on the O. They have flipped that. 


    You forgetting Elam?

    I'm really starting to love this WR room. We quietly got better

    I don't think they ever loved Gabe like they love Shakir. Beane was waxing lyrical again on the Ross Tucker podcast this week. Of course there is a chance Shakir just has insane demands but my very strong belief is that they will extend him. They talk about him like he is their own son.

     

    For those asking "well why wouldn't you?" My answer would be that it is really hard the play offense inside out now in the NFL. I know Brady managed it for years but even he at the end went to Tampa where they had two studs that can play and win outside. Cooper Kupp was a #1 mainly from the slot. St Brown is too. But they are few and far between and I think there are already reasons based on what we saw at the start of this year to suggest Shakir isn't that. What he IS is a really fine slot receiver who if you spread defenses out, make them defend the entire field and give him some room to operate can really be a weapon inside. The question is that something you pay or not? I have my doubts but strongly believe when the Bills add Shakir's character and attitude into thay mix their answer will be yes.

     

    My guess is the Bills do a 3 year extension. That has tended to be their go to for guys like Milano and Taron who were clearly valuable players but in less valuable positions. Spotrac has him between $18.3m AAV and $20.4m AAV. I have him top end of that range in return for taking a shorter deal. Something like 3 years $62m, $40m guaranteed but because the Bills still have him under contract next year and will pay the signing bonus in that year it is basically a 4 year $63m deal. They can put a few mill onto the 2025 cap and keep a bit of flexibility down the road. 

     

    Might depend on what they want to do with Cooper as well I suppose. 


    The problem is Amon-Ra St. Brown’s insane contract given to him by the Lions (dumb organizations to dumb things): 4 years, $120,010,000 with a whopping $77,000,000 guaranteed, average annual salary of $30,002,500.

    This is baloney.  Is Hamlin a top safety in the league?  No, no he is not.  Would I like to see the Bills have better?  Yes, yes I would.

    Is he the fastest guy?  No, he is not, though his 4.6 second combine time isn't slug-like.  

     

    But to say he's "scared to make big tackles" is "what game are you watching?" level.  He is a sure tackler and not afraid at all to lay out there.  Factually, he's 2nd on the Bills in tackles (to Dorian Williams) and is leading the Bills in charged missed tackles with only 1 (2.1%)  Those aren't the numbers of a guy who plays scared.


    if you're talking Joe Buscaglia, yes, Hamlin has cost yardage.  But that's in part the style he is coached to play.  Coming out, part of the weaknesses cited were that he came downhill way too hot (thus would let plays by him).  This is his first year coming in as a starter and without the safety net (ha! see what I did?) of playing with Johnson and Po. Give him some time to adjust.


    To be fair Joe B. also does keep insinuating that Damar is reluctant to get dirty.  Today’s article said it this way:

     

    ”Hamlin remains the most significant question mark, as his play-it-safe style, along with hesitance to dip down into the play has cost the team a lot of yardage over the season.”

     

    That’s far from the first time this season that Joe B. has tiptoed around the radioactive assertion that Damar is afraid of initiating contact.  I’m not saying it’s accurate or not but it’s been raised.

    Dude lost a good $50M-$75M because of this injury. Bills Bunker was talking about this on YouTube. The last 3 years of his contract are void now and he is going into FA coming off an ACL.

     

    Maybe it wasn’t so bad here after all?


    He bet on himself - he wanted to enter the offseason as a FA to get one more big payday.  That’s what this was all about.  Tough luck for him.

    In favor of Rousseau:

     

     

     

    I'd consider him if he wasn't on a rotation.  Benford never comes off the field.

    This is the right answer. I don't think it is close personally. 

     

    I think Shakir, Cook and Rousseau all have legit cases for #3. But #2 is clear in my mind.

     

    Taron needs to be in the conversation as well.  He's basically a CB/linebacker hybrid and probably the best tackler on the team.  He is playing at a really high level despite the drop-off in help behind him.

    Yeah I will go with Benford this season.   I can't really go with a RB, they have 3 of them who all make big plays.   And an off-ball LB wouldn't be my inclination either but when healthy Bernard is their best player on D.   His nose for the ball is epic and those plays change games.  He is the anti-Edmunds in almost every way both good and bad(durability).   He's even their best pass rusher.

     

     


    Wait are you going Benford or Bernard?  I went CB the CB not TB the LB but could make the case for either of them.
