    I don't think McGovern was very good at guard. I hope they are not already determined to make him the starting center, he may not be good enough. Obviously there is a lot of time, draft, free agency, etc. until next season,  hoping they have a plan where McGovern is a backup.

    Not sure where you’re coming from with that McGovern was excellent at pass protection

     

    He’s never gonna be a mauler in the run game

    Yes, you do need a crystal ball.

     

    I mean, the way you worded it, it's obvious. If it's an overpay, don't do it. If it's an underpay, do do it. If it's just on target, do it.

     

    But that's not the way the world works. Plenty of 30+ DEs have been signed for a ton of money and been worth every penny. And plenty of others have not. Knowing which will be which would indeed require a crystal ball, or more specifically, it's impossible.

     

    Not everyone is as successful as an older front seven / pass rushing guy as Willie McGinest or Kevin Greene or Calais Campbell or Terrell Suggs or Reggie White or James Harrison or Jason Taylor or Chris Doleman or Michael Strahan or Julius Peppers or Bruce Smith or Jim Jeffcoat or Neil Smith or Trace Armstrong or Sean Jones or Too Tall Jones or Clyde Simmons or Robert Mathis or Rickey Jackson or Leslie O'Neal or John Abraham or John Randle or Justin Smith or Brandon Graham or Clay Matthews or Ron McDole or ...

     

    I could go on but the more obvious ones are gone.

     

    Hell, Jerry Hughes had a really good season at 34. London Fletcher.

     

    Point is, some guys don't. Others .... you know ... do.

     

    So yeah, you do need a crystal ball. Could've worked out, especially with the plans to platoon him. So far it hasn't, but it could have.

     

     

     

     

    I'm feeling bad emotionally, and I'm worried about the center of the o-line. They were, at long last, genuinely good all along the line this year. Now we don't know how next year will look.

    I feel you
    One thing to consider and I always do whenever it came to Morse. He’s one hit away from another concussion and an aging player that doesn’t make it hurt any less but he’s not on the team.

    Get to 40 mil in space and take a big swing.

     

    Chris Jones

     

    Christian Wilkins (camp fights with Josh)

     

    DJ Reader

     

    Leonard Williams

     

    + Re-sign DQ. 
     

    Derrick Henry if he doesn’t sign with Ravens
     

    CB Jaylon Johnson?  only 24
    We tried to acquire him at the trade deadline.

    That would be super intriguing.  Benford or Rasul could move to Safety 

    *Edit Franchise Tagged

     

     

    Why do you think we are where we are at today and cutting so many players at once?

    Yes, the Josh Allen restructure would totally put us back in the blue
     

    Restructures of Dawkins Johnson, and reworking Dalton contract will allow us to make some free agency moves. I do not expect them to be big ones.

     

    It doesn’t make any sense to spend big money in a poor free agency pool

    UPDATE: SIGNED Bills looking at bringing back Trubisky per Tim Graham

    He’s never been a truly mobile qb, unless you count his best year in 2018 with 400 yds. If Allen ever goes out for a few games my biggest worry is that you’re just not running the same offense with Mitch, asking him to scramble for 1st downs or running qb draw in the redzone. It’s just not worth the money whatever the terms are. 
     

    For example Max Duggan was a promising talent and LAC got him in the 7th round on a $795k/yr deal. Has similar traits and abilities to Allen - albeit WAY less than Josh obviously. But I’d trust him and not changing the game plan much vs Mitch for way less money. Idk why we can’t try and find that match in the draft late or UFA/UDFA route. 
     

    FA cheap guys I would’ve liked instead: Mariota, bridgewater, tyrod 

    Tyrod Taylor is never coming back to Buffalo

    I don’t get the love for this guy. Yes he was our former backup. Yes he was a top draft pick that had promise. Yes he’s been horrible lately and has ZERO traits Josh does. Is our season over if Josh gets hurt - yes. So I’m not completely phased at who our backup is. But at least get someone who can sub in and play the same offense that Josh does ICOE. Scrambling ability alone says Mitch is not that. Your backup should be a guy that can go in and win 2-3 games in a 4-5 game stint should Josh have some minor injury. I would have 0 faith in mitch if this happened and the offense would completely change. Go grab a UDFA this draft that has legs and call it a day. I just don’t like this as a backup plan. At all. 

    I disagreed that he has some of the traits that Josh Allen has
     

    That is not to say that he is even close to the player that Josh is but he has a good arm and he’s mobile and has plenty of NFL experience

     

    And who is not to say that they still can’t draft a guy anybody that you draft which will probably be at the end of the draft is going to need time

    ALL These moves, my head is spinning. How we feeling Mafia?

    I’m not feeling as bad as I thought I was going to I’m big fans of guys like Poyer, white and Morse
     

    But we all knew this day was coming, even if it wasn’t going to be this year

    Could the Bills be looking at Denver?

    the chances of the Bills trading for a WR are slim to none. And Slim just left town

    Equal chances of the Bills pursuing FA WR's.


    yeah, I don’t think so. They’ll get somebody. I just don’t think it’s gonna be one of the top guys in free agency.

    john has a banner in his house for 2023 afc #2 seed 

     

    I think he will raise it week 1 of next season

     

    Yes, to kick off the season but also it is going to hang from his ceiling fan and he’d prefer to make it through the summer first 

    Don’t be silly

    Bills re-signing Edwards 2yr/$6M

    With the news about Morse I'm changing my opinion on the Edwards contract. $2.3M for a baseline starter is a good deal. Ideally a rookie or Alec Anderson will beat him out, but now we at least have a solid floor.

    Why would you want anyone to beat him out? Edwards has had some very good years in the NFL what would be great as if he became a solid starter at left guard

    Taron and Neil came in together, same draft.   

    This might be heresy, but I felt Taron was losing a step last year.  He was beat quite often, I don't want to prolong his contract.  


    I want to extend his contract
