Chicago - Needs a team around Wilson to make this worth it. A team loaded for the next 3 years, or it doesn’t work. Blowing 3 first rounders is a tough swallow, at least one should pan out if they drafted them. Seattle - would need to be able to get a top QB this year. The picks in this package don’t really get you there. Can trade Russ straight up and get a few more picks and get the first or 2nd overall. Sounds like a lot. Not useful to Seattle unless they had a starting QB on the wings. Not many FA’s available other than Alex Smith?

Believe the return of a star helps the D. Allows the LB’s to focus on their jobs, instead of RB’s getting to the 2nd level. That being said, yes we need better edge rush. Just hope the Bills are not putting that on Epenesa. Need an established edge guy. With a better pass rush, takes pressure of the secondary, although we do need a starting CB opposite White and backup.

Team checked out long ago, had to happen. Yes, we need a known entity at coach. Someone who can coach not just on the ice, but off the ice. Someone who can instill a sense of team pride. Seen changes in head coach and quick turn around by that team. Hopefully we get a guy that can do this. Question is, who’s out there to fit the bill?

Yep, should be traded by the end of the day. Sounds as if there are a few teams open on him. Could be agent driven, who knows. Thing is, if you want him, get him. If it turns into a 3rd this year and a 5th next year, get him. Not saying that’s the deal that gets done, just if you want him then get him. I’d prefer at most a 4th and another lower pick next year. Just like the draft. If you like the player, draft him. If you feel he’s a diamond in the rough, then don’t wait.

Need 2 pass catching threats at TE. Even if he is a decoy, he’s better than Lee Smith running pass routes. At least they will take him seriously. Hope Errz pass and run block.

He has unliked the tweet.

Surprised it’s that much. Would have like 4 mil plus incentives.

So that would kinda be a even swap..Lee for Ertz. Be surprised if it’s a 7th. Maybe as part of the deal, but I could see a 4th if there are multiple teams in the mix.

Google is really good for answering questions.... 😉

Beane reminds me when Dan Akryod tells Murphy hold off on trading OJ in Trading Places. Calm, calm, calm and then yells he’s selling.

Kinda stunned. Preemptive move to signing a TE?

Got better at placeholding. Much improved punter. Started to get great placement. Did hit a few off the side of his foot. Still hate to see him go.

That plus a body or so.

Can’t see Texans trading Watson in conference...and to the patsies. What could they offer for him?

Liked how Bojo played last year. Also the placeholder on kicks. Hopefully a camp body, need to look at his stats.

Bills have to clear cap space before they can sign any their own FA’s or other teams. I’m sure something is going on in the background. Yeah Von may be a good player, but don’t think Beane will pay the $$$. Feel he is looking for those guys who are a step from being really good and are not overpriced. Who are they? I have no idea.

Not impressed. Rather have Smoke. Need a QB who can the throw the ball. They know the offense is at going to be that good, loading up on D today.

Can’t expect a big splash with our current cap numbers. Need to restructure a few deals to make space. Interesting Beane hasn’t done so yet. I know, trust the process. We are a few players away. Hate to see us lose any of our UFA and RFA’s and have to replace them, along with adding pass rush. If we don’t sign McKenzie, Roberts will be a huge loss.

I find it interesting the number of of guys we are letting walk/test free agency. Wallace and Roberts were ones I’d like back. In a league that has taken the kick return out of the game, he certainly put it back in for us. Gonna miss him. Gonna need to spend the money one way or another to fill the roster.

Bills will need more cap space before we go after impact FA’s. Don’t we still have a large list of UFA’s sitting out there? If we don’t sign our own, still need to replace the player. Even at NFL minimum, that’s a chunk of change. Feliciano, Cory B, Marrlow, Wallace, Williams (probably can’t afford), Barkley, McKenzie, Jefferson, Roberts are a few I’d like to see back. Can’t see them all signing for league minimum. Only have 7 picks this year (no 4th), not filling out the roster that way. Except for John Brown, I take it this is the current list of UFA’s: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/all/buffalo-bills/ When do we have to tender the RFA’s by? Cory B, Wallace and Boettger?

I’m sure they have a plan on replacing these guys. Can’t imagine them jettisoning two starting tackles without a plan. I don’t expect them to miss the playoffs next season because of these moves. Now, if they are planning on replacing with internal candidates...then that would be a problem. Super bowl showed depth problems at o-line for them.

Wow! Little bit of a hometown discount! Kind of feel he was motivated to be here. Don’t believe the cap made it a weak market.

Hate seeing my ticket prices go up. Understand that is the price of a winning team and them attempting to capture revenue from a full stadium. Overall, dang cheap by NFL standards.

Remember why the cap was created in the first place. Parity. Rich teams like Dallas would throw the most money at the top FA's. Doesn't mean championships, look at Washington over the years.

I get Buffalo doesn't have an average temp of 80 and sunny 90 percent of the time. We are an amazing city. A huge snow storm in freaking 1977 and a short period of economic downturn does not define a city. Problem is players can say they want a championship all they want. It comes down to money. Not sure i can truly blame them. Think about what Dak just signed. 40 million per year, which equates to 2.35 million per game in a 17 game season (assuming they go to that). Money talks, championships take a walk.
