I'm thinking they may draft a true nose tackle type like that kid think he played for Michigan?? Could see him starting as rookie, but on likely passing passing plays Ogunjobi comes in for him so have Groot, Oliver, Ogunjobi, and Bosa rushing the passer.

Before the start of free agency easier to ask for more. Now most teams have cashed in, little money left to pay anyone, less interest so teams selling usually end up taking less.

What's it taste like, chicken or fish?

Yeah I've read that too, that he's better from the left, but can play right side pretty well also.

I've always felt if you're going to start a rookie, CB is probably one of the easiest positions to play a rookie so I'd be OK with having a rookie start opposite Benford. I assume Douglas hasn't yet signed with anyone? If so could still see him back here on lower priced deal So that must make him about 5 years older than Edmunds!

You could very well be correct. I've often said particularly about QB's you could predict every single one of them would be a bust including Josh Allen and Tom Brady and you'd be correct more than you'd be wrong. as the success rate is not that high. But also see too often posters here giving up on players way too soon. Or there where things going on b4ehind the scenes. Like this year with Kincaid, posters were labeling him a bust, then hear after the season he was playing on a partial torn PCL

That was my guess to the Steelers would have grabbed him. I'm fine with him for depth as he knows the defense.

Sure, but when you call a guy a bust after he played maybe halfa rookie season before getting hurt, it significantly lowers a persons creditability.

You probably said the same thing about Brown and Knox and posted that Bass needed to be cut after his 5th game too. If you keep saying it about enough players, statistically looking at NFL careers, you'd probably be correct over half the time!

Think of all position CB is the easiest for a rookie to come in and start, so could see them drafting a rookie high and still signing a rotational type CB now. Also think they will take a DT high in draft too. Likely maybe a WR in 4th or 5th, or they may still sign another role player. I'm fine with signing Palmer. The bills don't need a Chase, or even a Metcalf when you have a Josh Allen at QB. He makes the other players look much better. The team was overall la top 10 passing offense last year, adding Palmer will help and a healthy Coleman and Kincaid. Both also have a year under their belt also helps. Bosa is overall low risk at $12 mil for 1 year so ok there. Haven't seen a list of what Bills FA have signed elsewhere. I know Johnson, and Gilliam did resign here. Hollins went to NE, but haven't read about any one else like Douglas, Hamlin, Miller, or Morris.

And he doesn't hurt us for comp picks. On the other hand, if he has a decent season, but signs elsewhere next year, we'd be in line for a pick in 2027

Putting Bosa on the field at same time makes both of them better. Groot got 8 sacks with little help elsewhere. They also signed that other guy Hoechet, call him the Hoe for short who also could be used as a pass rusher mainly. And we should have cut Brown, huge mistake to resign him. Knox was a bust, Bass needed to be cut after his first 5 games as a rookie. it's a long list of posters here being totally wrong. Admittedly there's risk in this pick due to his health, but it's only one year and $12 mil so worth the chance. He's also likely not going to be asked to play a high snap count so that will help too. They may have been one reason he signed here as knew that was the case and that appealed to him.

Well we don't play Dallas or Detroit, so that narrows it down to night game that day. Do also have the Black Friday game too now.

Yeah I was hoping they'd have brought Johnson and Hollins back and it still could happen as far as I know he hasn't signed yet with anyone??

Kind of thinking the Bills feel guys like Johnson, Morris, and Hollins will be replaced by low cost players who've been in the system. Gore replaces Johnson, Davidson replaces Morris, and Virgil/Shavers replaces Hollins. When you're up against the cap, these are the moves you need to make.

Aaron Rodgers and Mike Tomlin seems like a marriage made in heaven!!

Read an interesting comment about him today on a post listing a couple sentence bio on every pending NFL FA. For Hollins it said why has he been on 5 different teams, Maybe it’s because coordinators get frustrated when he doesn’t run the route as diagrammed. Never heard that comment directly this past year, but could be true and maybe why less interest to resign him than most of us expected. Don't think Allen minds that, but can see where the coaches may not be happy with it.

I think if Trubisky were to be cut it would have happened prior to today both to help the Bills cap wise and also to give him the chance to hookup with another team. At this point would be very surprised to see him cut. They also have a 4th QB believe his name is Buschle, I know his wife seems to be the "class mom" for the team, always organizing things for the other wives. I do think unless White clearly our performs Buschle, could see him getting cut.

Every year it's the same thing, the number comes out, then 3 days later when the details are released usually easily reduced.

So do wonder, prior to noon today, how many deals are already sort of worked out. Does Beane already know who will be announced to day going to sign in Buffalo and have 98% of the $$'s worked out?? I'm thinking it's not Beane talking to anyone direct, but Beane talks to someone who talks to an agent who contacts the players agent. This way no charges of tampering can arise, plus all the teams likely do the same so nobody will report anyone else.

So guessing at this point both Johnson and Hollins have been given offers from the Bills, but they want more. They are likely in the category of if you can't get what you want elsewhere, call me before you sign anything. Maybe we can still work it out.

He's getting counseling from Diggs on the best approach.

They've often had two shots as starter and both times failed so by then they have come to the realization that a backup QB still pays good money and keeps them in the game.

Yeah he was an old one too. Marv liked him as they could discuss their likely social security income together.
