    Will DeAndre Hopkins be available this offseason?

    Beane isn't the type to move on from someone, fill the positions the way he'd like with other players, and then double back and alter the group he already formed.

     

    Yeah remember that one time we tried to trade for Diggs and then traded for him the next year when they were willing to trade him? Or when he tried to sign Sanders and got him 2 years later when he was willing to sign here? The facts oppose this statement.

    and with that overly simplistic mindset, Beane should have spent all this "potential dhop $" on improving RT, LG, and RG in FA.  

     

    instead he upgraded our guards, and found supporting options.  This is a better team already, on paper, than LY.  It's not supporting Gabe vs Josh, it's understanding this isn't the last year of the NFL and Beane is wisely considering future salary cap impications/roster build.

     

     

    You like your people, I like mine. Your argument is weak, but I don't expect much from you. The choice is between 2 players, I like one and you like the other. Arguing with me about why your opinion is correct when it's based on a disagreement is a waste of time. As another poster said, let's hang that "Managed the salary cap efficiently 2019-2023" in the rafters if that's what you're after. Signing Hopkins to a deal that gives him a reasonable signing bonus this year while restructuring Dion and setting a lot of his base salary to be unlikely to be earned bonuses that don't count against the cap is a very reasonable way to structure a 13-16M/yr contract and should not preclude us from being in good cap position in the future.

    Stop it. I know people there that are in high management that has been working there well over 10 years.  You think that is a job you can just replace so easy?

    You have 0 heart for someone that is going to be forced to move on and have to find a new job? that pays what they are making in that unique situation. 


    You know people and I empathize with your friendship. I don't think most people here will be sad to see that particular company out of the stadium. When I've had to occasion to see games in person I have been incredibly unimpressed with the food offerings. Having been to other stadiums around the country, I can safely say concessions at Highmark are bottom 5 in places I've been. I have heard it alleged that the same company does better in other places, which is odd. You'd think a buffalo-based company would do its best to make the local team its standard for good service. Seems like a self-inflicted failure. You want to see a nearby product that has tons of local pride - look at Wegmans - they are too good to be displaced.

    Spags, happy to hear your work-release is allowing you to use computers again. You ever gonna start rooting for a New York team or are you always gonna root for those Jersey bums? When Aaron emerges from his next hippy darkness retreat please let him know of your yearly tradition of getting your shinebox and making my wingtips look their best, maybe he can come with you!

    What does our O-Line look like now?

    To an extent, that's a bet that may make or break our chances to go as deep as we hope for into the off-season.

     

     

    This is why I think they need another vet. So much depends on the Oline. DE and MLB are holes, but all that means is we're going to have to put up points. Hard to have major holes on both sides of the ball. Wish they had done more to fix the OL so our problems on D could be minimized.

    Perhaps being Kincaid some kind of WR/TE hybrid they can save a spot there and carry 10 OLs rather than the usual 9.

    At this point I think he's a poor man's Yannick Ngakoue, a rotational pass rusher only. I doubt he ever becomes more than that but it's possible he becomes a better version of that in his 4th year. And yeah for the 3rd/4th guy on the depth chart that's a fine skill set.

     

    It's our primary starter opposite Rousseau that I'm worried about. We have seen Lawson thrive in his role as a rotational piece, but for a team with Super Bowl aspirations that needs to rack up wins early in the year he and Epenesa aren't good enough to play a high snap percentage IMO. They're really counting on Von Miller to get back in the mix quickly unless they add someone.

     

    Justin Houston, that's the one that I want. We really really need someone else at DE. 

    Should the Bills move Milano to MLB?

    We’ve had three pages of conversation. You really think I care at all if you want to hear me out? 
     

    I’ll answer that for you… nope. 

     

    You started this thread on a topic that has already been asked and answered and presented it as a new idea when it's a tired retread. There is no discussion to be had, but it does show your lack of awareness of the multiple interviews crapping on your idea. You doubling down by attempting to attack multiple people who tell you this subject is moot is a little sad. The retread topic is made no more special because you decided it was your original idea.
