I agree with you that Beane didn’t want to give up multiple picks. I expect Knox to take a very large paycut to stay. He seems happy here, realizes his role, and seems to be best buddies with Allen. Anderson and VanDeMark are essentially ours if we want them and really there is no reason not to come yo an agreement with Anderson particularly if McGovern and/or Edwards doesn’t re-sign. I think Bosa gets re-signed. Seems to really enjoy himself here and wants to win and knows his time is short. I think clearly our biggest need heading into the offseason will be LB. Yes we’ll have Bernard and Williams but nothing behind them, I would expect a high draft choice there. Well probably need to draft a CB and a Safety especially with Strongs status uncertain. 7 Draft picks I have: 1-2 LBs 1 CB 1 S 1 DT 1 WR 1 IOL 1 DE

He looked like he had a hell of a lot of potential. Let’s hope with time, rest, and rehabilitation he can continue playing the game. If not at least he can say he got to be drafted, played on the league, and got to start a game

I saw the hear me out and thats all i needed to know

All the improvements that you have seen came under Leipolds administration as coach there. I'm not sure just how much fans realized he accomplished off the field as the coach. He first got all the coaches offices and meeting rooms updated and decals put all throughout the facility including a showcase of trophies and the different helmets that they use. Then the next step was they completely overhauled the locker rooms to make them as state of the art that a MAC locker room could be with amenities like massage chairs, televisions etc. Then they created a nutrition room in the facility that wasn't anything huge but they didn't even have one. They made it into a nice small place that players could go and pick up their food and relax before practice started or after getting treatment. Then came the indoor fieldhouse that was completed just as he was walking out the door to go to Kansas. Additional facilities that were planned in place was the complete redoing of the weightroom which to be honest was just a shack and getting it up to par with the rest of the league and connecting it to the indoor field house. Then the next project was supposed to be the scoreboard completely replaced. This was all started by Leipold and Allen Greene the former AD when they both were there. I bet if both were there this would have already been accomplished but changing AD's and coaches probably slowed that up. Just an FYI, I never heard anything about renovating the whole stadium or building a new one outside of people murmuring the possibility of a new stadium at the intramural field which no one took seriously. Now Leipold is doing the same thing with Goff at Kansas.

Surprised the Dolphins didn't offload more than just Phillips. Same with the Titans. Like I said the restructuring of Taron Johnson was more to keep an operational budget as they are still going to have to pay Hoecht, sign a player to the active roster and bring in another PS guys most likely. We are a talented football team and making a move wasn't necessary. We have added 19 draft picks in the last two year(yes I realize not all of them are here anymore). I get it everyone wants the exciting splash move and I would have preferred a guy who can play the Hoecht spot better than Javon Solomon or Landon Jackson but you used draft picks on these guys and its smart to give them the reps. I don't know why people are surprised we didn't add a WR. We didn't draft one until super late, Beane told you he was happy with the room in the offseason, and we have once again one of the best offenses in the league. Do I always agree with it? No but is it surprising to me no as well.

I mean this is pretty much the expectation of the board so your not far off

Some of you guys are unbearable. If they do nothing that’s fine, we have drafted a ton of players the last two years. Let them get the reps and develop. Yes we opened up 1.75 million dollars(not exactly a large amount) most likely to put another guy on IR in Hoecht, to call up another player to the active roster(an increase in pay) , and to sign another PS player. Could we make a trade sure we can. If we do great. If it’s Wilson extra awesome, if it’s a rotational Dlineman okay, if it’s nothing that’s okay with me too. We are talented to win it all especially if our young defenders keep getting better

The Chargers are just a different team in the road than at home. Yes we lost to the Pats but we have tons of penalties and turnovers. Very uncharacteristic. The Broncos have a great D but they have won a ton of games late in the 4th I’ll want to see if they can keep that up. The Colts will be good as far as Daniel Jones takes em

Well at least the Cowboys are improving before they host the Chiefs in a couple weeks

Hey you all wanted a WR. I want to hear no complaining if they add Deebo Samuel.

I’m actually surprised the Dolphins and Titans haven’t been more active in their self offs. Still some time but I was expecting those two teams to get rid of guys

Mitchell has been absolutely awful for the Colts

Tyree Wilson is an interesting thought for sure. He was and is a boom or bust guy but he might be a good Hoecht guy as well. A lot of potential there that hasn’t been realized but very very similar to Landon Jackson

Yea it is interesting for sure but that WR corps isn’t very good right now even with BTJ. Just lost Hunter who’s been disappointing so far and their next best guys are Dyami Brown and Parker Washington

Another name I would take a look at is David Onyemata from the Falcons. Small base salary, worked with Ryan Nielsen when he was their defensive coordinator. Seems to be getting fazed out a bit by the Falcons due to their youth movement. He is 32 and has been suspended twice for PEDS so maybe he’s up the Bills alley for cheap

I agree with you but to me that’s not a bad thing. This team mostly to me needs depth at DT or LB. Wouldn’t mind seeing them add a DE if salary fit makes sense. I only expect one move if they do

If the Bills make a move and that’s a big if, it will be for a guy that will highly disappoint most of the board I bet

I’m not going to assume this is for a trade at all. The Bills have added guys to the active roster who are veterans over rookies(you have to pay them more even on minimum). Bills are about to IR Hoecht ending his season and will have to sign another player either to the practice squad or the active roster. 1.75 seems like a number to gain more space for operational budget

I’d be surprised if the Bills were on the radar here.

I think I said it earlier in the thread if you want another Hoecht then Kaden Elliss of the Falcons is your guy. He’s an impending free agent and think they would consider it for the right price

I have stated numerous times I was a huge fan of the Hoecht signing even when everyone was like overpay or who the hell is this guy etc. Hecwas a great piece to that young pass rush with the Rams. I do wonder a bit if the Roids have a bit to do with the injury. Roids build good mass obviously but they also tighten them and make your muscles more tense. Just a small observation that I thought of when it happened

I don’t know if the Chiefs are playing him too much or what but man he has a lot of lazy plays. The man knows how to make plays in crunch time for sure but he had so many plays where he just looked like he wasn’t interested

I mentioned Eddie Goldman in another thread. Expiring contract, rotational NT, cheap and won’t cost much. Not going to move the needle but brings in an experienced body. I don’t think they would do it but i would call the Falcons about Kaden Elliss. If you’re looking for a guy who can play Hoecht role like Hoecht then he is your guy. Pending Free Agent, he’s 30 years old but he’s another hustle, strength, speed guy.

See it’s funny , fans want the one seed as they should and all of these are obviously hypothetical with half a season to play. The Bills get the one seed and the Chiefs and Ravens don’t win their division. Then that means one of them would come to Buffalo in the divisional round. Like I said hypothetical as I still think the Ravens win their division but if we’re the one seed we don’t want to see the Chiefs as the 6 or 7. We want the easiest matchups possible

I actually think the Dolphins won the trade. I always thought both Chubb and Phillips were highly overrated and Phillips is a free agent after this year. Maybe being in the Eagles org vs the Dolphins org will help . Def won’t hurt him but I’m sure he’s not thrilled he’s a Miami guy
