Quay Walker. He's what the Bills hoped Tremaine Edmunds would become. Similar size & athlete, but has the instincts, read and react & angle pursuit that subjective Bills fans still try and convince themselves Edmunds might one day learn.

6 year - $260M Just north of Allen's APy. Just under Pat Mahomes APY. And well under Watson's and Rodgers APYs

Listen to Greg Cosell talk about Skyy Moore starting at 36:10. Greg clearly has a lot of ?s about how his game translates to the NFL. The whole clip is a great listen for his thoughts on WRs. Keep in mind Greg Cosell is very careful with the words he chooses to describe prospects. I've noticed he's a little more forth right on this particular podcast than others because he's comfortable with the hosts. I remember last year he was one of the first draft prospect gurus who voiced serious concerns with Justin Fields (on the Ross Tucker football podcast). In the weeks following there was a huge pushback against anyone critical of Fields and by the time Cosell was on shows like OneBillsLive his tune had changed. He didn't come right out and suddenly love Fields, but he also never voiced his serious concerns with Fields again. Chris Simms was the same with Fields. His 180 on Fields from February to April was head spinning. It kind of showed me you get more honest insight early on before the manufactured, polite, group think assessments take over the closer you get to the draft.

Funny I listened to another podcast Cosell was on and he clearly wasn't a huge Sky Moore guy. Mentioned although he timed fast he questioned his ability to separate and saw him as a slot WR only in the NFL. Came away with the impression Cosell wasn't nearly as high on Skyy Moore as the huge he's been getting lately. No doubt he loves Pickens and he likes Dotson a lot too. He also really like Treylon Burks. He's also not a big Olave guy. "His game as no element of physicality what so ever". Doesn't ever think Olave will be a #1, a complementary piece to an offense only. One last note: Cosell thinks Calvin Austin has a little "Tyreek Hill to hus game". My ears perked up when I heard him say it. Also mentioned Khalil Shakir as a guy he really likes. (BTW, I think I heard these on a Philadelphia Eagles podcast he does) From listening to Cosell across multiple podcasts I think he has his Wrs rated as follows: 1 - Garrett Wilson 2 - Treylon Burks 3 - Jameson Williams 4 - George Pickens 5 - Jahan Dotson Lower on: Olave London Higher on: Calvin Austin Khalil Shakir

A 2 year $45M extension (so about $22.5M per) should be the line in the sand. Now if they want to tack on $30M in funny money in Year 3 to have the 3 years $75M optics then fine.......but I don't think they should guarantee anymore than 2 years on the extension, and that extension would keep the 2 years he currently has left in place. Diggs has 2 years left for $27M total ($13.5M per yr.) So with the a 2 Year - $45M extension, the Bills are essentially looking at a 4 year - $72M deal. Throw in the funny money, non guaranteed 3rd year to let the agent boast a sexy #, and also allows Beane an extra year to stretch out the cap hits.

Bottom Line: Tyreek Hill is a great player, IMO, the best offensive player in the NFL outside of QBs. He will make the Dolphins a better team because he is a dynamic weapon That said: The haul the Dolphins had to give up, plus the money they had to outlay, plus the lack of high level QB play in MIA makes me think in the end thus will not be a deal that works out swimmingly for MIA. I'm actually surprised there wasn't a few NFC teams willing to match that compensation package.....would've liked the move for the acquiring team much more if they had a good QB

Won't play at all in '22 Chance to be back 100% by '23, but certainly no guarantee he's back fill steam by then. A lot of talk that it sometimes takes 2 years to come back all the way from an Achilles tear and feel back to 100% I think the very soonest he'll go is pick 50 and could fall as low as 75. Likely goes 50 spots lower.

It's definitely a big swing for the Raiders, but giving up a 1st & 2nd plus forking over $28.25M per yr to a WR that will be 30 in December may not end up being a smart move. There are some WRs that produce into their mid 30s, but there are more that hit a wall @ 31-32.

Be careful with Adam Caplan. There guys in the media that are passing on real knowledge Then there's a Lotta guys that are wannabes. Caplan is closer to the latter. Not saying he didn't hear it, but hes not a guy I'd put a lot of trust in

Sam Monson @PFF_Sam · 2h They just signed a QB for $15m a season. If that doesn't affect your status with the team, your status was a backup to begin with. Quote Tweet Gerry Dulac @gerrydulac · 3h The Steelers plan to have Trubisky challenge Mason Rudolph as the replacement for Ben Roethlisberger, per sources. The deal does not affect Rudolph's status with the team and he is not expected to be traded or ask for a trade. I'm not sure if Sam Monson, of PFF. Is just spitballong that'll be in the $15M range or if he's heard something, but this the first I've seen a value assigned to what Tribusky signed for. If it is indeed for $15M per year we are in line for a 3rd round comp. Pick assuming we have a net loss of FA's. A nice gift!

Think Marino uses OvertheCap. Myself, I'm a spotrac.com guy. Ginnitti is really good at what he does.

I'm not a big fan of Tremaine, but @ that APY for 5 years, YES I would do that deal. That'd be pretty team friendly, especially down the road. $10M a year for a LB will look pedestrian in a year or 2

Probably. There will probably be 1 or 2 middling contract acquisitions, maybe like an Engram for $7M per, but it just seems like there's not going to ve anything big.

Mike Ginnitti of Spotrac on one of his recent visits on WGR radio, on One Bills Live, very casually but confidently stated he expects a trade back from the Bills. Not sure if that has any part in this, but if you were thinking a trade back is in the works hosting a Day 1 Draft Day Party would be odd. That said, they could certainly set something up fro Day 2. Day 2 is better, IMO anyways. More for the diehard draft fans.

Glad to see that duo gone from Fox. Aikman and Buck are so boring and stale. MNF booth was already bad, so I don't expect much different. At least now there's a chance Fox upgrades to a booth that'll actually tell you something insightful. This is a win for Fox, IMO.

Haha, you nailed it. There's a handful of Buffalo media/radio guys that I've come to realize are full of shiz. Nate Geary is one of them.

I like Kirk. He's a solid slot WR, but I don't see him as a $12M a yr WR. I'm not saying he won't get it, but I'm not sure I want my team paying that price. If he wants to come in on a discount I could get behind it, but I don't think paying big bucks to a slot WR is smart roster management.

The article states the Pegulas have to come up with $200M of which less than half will from PSLs. It also stated the cheapest PSLs will cost $1,000. So I'm guessing their benchmark for PSLs will be in the $80M range, through the sale of 50,000 season tickets. So you're looking at roughly an avg PSL of $1,600. With the cheapest being $1000, you're probably looking at PSLs being in the 1k-2.5k per seat depending on where your seats are. I still think PSLs are going to gut demand for season tickets. I know personally I've had season tickets for 20 years (4 of them) and I'm 100% throwing in the towel once I owe PSLs. I'm in section 134 so I'm predicting about a $2000 PSL per seat and there's just no way I'm forking over 8k to the Pegulas just for the privilege of forking over another 6k a year to pay for my tickets. I'm only able to get to about 2-3 home games a year and with StubHub fees up around 45% (ludicrous) I just lose way too much money to justify paying for PSLs. I'm curious what other Season Ticket Holders are thinking. You guys prepared to fork over 1-3k per ticket on PSLs?

Tony Pauline @ ProfootballNetwork had an article stating the Steelers are set to make a run at Tribusky, but that they may have competition from the Giants. He reported it could take big money to sign him. A month ago I was of the mind that Tribusky would get a $6-8M deal for a chance to compete, but after this chatter that he may be in demand, I'm wondering if he might not go for a lot more. You look back and there has been some crazy contracts handed out to marginal QBs in the last decade: Foles Dalton Glennon Is it possible Tribusky finds $13-16M? I think it's rich, but I'm starting to think itll be closer to that than my original projection. I'm going to set the over/under @ $12M per year. I can easily see him finding a 2 year $26M deal. Obviously if he signs for anything north of $10M the Bills will net a 4th round compensatory pick for him. If he signs for $15M + we'd be in line for a 3rd rounder (in 2023). Come on Steelers and Giants get that bidding war going!

Factoring in what I think the Bills covet in a WR prospect coupled with who I think has a real chance to be available @ #25: Jahan Dotson Tough, great hands, separates and can play all over the formation. What will be interesting would be if both Jameson Williams & Dotson were both available @ #25 I'd be curious who the Bills would prefer. I will say I don't think Drake London is a prospect the Bills would be interested in and I think hus hype in the media is a lot different than what happens on draft day. Slow WRs that can't separate aren't guys I want in the 1st round. A mid round pick I like later on is UCLA, WR, Kyle Phillips. Another mid/late round pick I like as a speed merchant is Danny Gray, WR, SMU. Guy can fly. Much like the Gabe Davis draft year it appears WR is so deep it wouldn't surprise me if the Bills waited until round 3 or 4 on a WR. This would give them the opportunity to fill some other needs like DL, CB & OL with their premium picks.

It's a fair question and my answer would be this: Derek Carr is probably somewhere between the 10th-15th best QB in the NFL and if some desperate team comes calling you at least listen. If you can get a bounty for the 12th best QB in the league who's about to need a new expensive contract.....why not do it?
