You hear/read posts all the time and comments themselves from the Bills, the team needs to draft and develop players to stay out of salary cap problems. But yet you're ready to give up on Shorter who was just drafted last year in 5th round. Signing, drafting, and spending money on players that don't have a clear spot to make the roster is a waste and will keep you in cap trouble all the time. If Shorter is not on the team this year, that would be a big failure by the Bills in that they totally wasted a draft pick without ever giving him a chance to see what he can and can't do. But I have faith in the team that they are smart enough to not do something that stupid and he will be on the roster this year. Likely the Bills have room for 2 WR unless they want to waste more money. Just glad you're not the GM, or maybe you're actually Russ Brandon posting with a new name as this sounds like something he'd have done!

Love to hear how you came up with these numbers other than wishful thinking? TE none, yet they carried 3 all season and now only have two plus one ERFA At WR they have 4 signed, Shakir, Diggs, Shorter, and Sherfield 5 if you count Isabella and all they ever carried was 5. But yet you state they need 3 to 4 more!! 2 at RB is about right, will give you that one. In college yes, but need to look at how that will translate to NFL where everyone he faces compares to the maybe handful of players he'd face every week that were that good.

.....but you resigned yourself not to??

When do you plan to change the title to: Anyone like me wanting Beane to hurry up slow down?

So couldn't the Bills wait till June 1st to sign all the rookies and that would allow them to use the $10mil saving from White to pay them with?

Wentz?? Lost me on that one. And even the others are debatable to some level. Maybe Minshew I'd agree with, but how much did he want? Many of these guys are only interested in going to openings where they have a chance to be the starter. Giants was a great place for TT as their starting QB often got hurt and was debatable if he even should be a stater. So good chance at some point over 17 games, Jones would get benched at some point if not hurt. In Buffalo you know Allen is the starter as long as healthy, end of debate. On top of that as big as he is, he's not likely to get hurt as much as say a guy like Lamar or Tua

How many backup QB's is that not true of?

Well guess we were both right. They didn't kic the can down, but didn't pay the $11 mil either.

Stop trying to milk this!

Wasn't he the interim QB coach once Brady became OC? Have they named a new QB coach?

so if not paying for these things it in turn lowers the amount over the cap?

I'm sure he wanted nothing more than to come back to Buffalo, the team that cut him even though he was innocent. Good point!!

If they had cut him now would the cap hit have been the full $10 mil this year? But they do get to take the full $10M saving this year?

I'll be surprised if that happens considering the overall cap position they are in. My bet is an extension with void years. Initially I thought they may cut Morse and give the job to Bates, but that's not happening now. We shall see!

OK so we're not getting a 3rd because we lost a 1st rounder in Edmunds, it's completely because of the contract he signed with Bears?

So you're going to pay him $11 mil this year? When exactly did he have his last concussion? Believe he's been 2 seasons without one.

OK so it's more about the salary than what round the player the team lost was drafted in?

So I know the Bills are expected to get a comp pick for Edmunds in the 3rd. I see there are comp picks in all the other lower rounds too at the way down to the 7th. Wondering what does a team have to lose to only get say a 6th or 7th round comp pick? The water boy?? Chain gang? And I assume the Bills have no shot at any of those??

Think last year at this time, most posters here were expecting the worst, but after draft everyone was saying how roster was better overall.

With the release of Bates, I'd add Morse to the restructure and extend list

Worse that could happen is he gets a splinter in his a**

Well they say it's a weak draft in lower rounds due to all the guys staying for NIL money. But these extra picks are worth hardly anything to move up. Looking at a draft chart if they took their now 3 picks in 5th plus their 3 picks in 6th, they could move up from 28 to around 22. In the 2nd round could move them up about 13 picks. I could see them packaging a number of these fifths or sixths and move up to bottom of round prior, maybe get and extra 4th

There always seems to be a direct correlation between the dumbest posts and the number of posts made by the person.

Agree as I stated initially, there's more to this story than just condemning him too.

And you're just assuming he's guilty. Sounds like there's a lot more to this story than typical assault on a woman. Easy to for her to use his reputation against him too. Normally I wouldn't defend him but as someone else pointed out a tic Tok influencer bringing a lawsuit sounds a bit too convenient
