The deal is 3 years 30 million.

It’s pretty obvious the Bills and Steelers felt good about trade compensation the Bills called Rosenhaus and said hey this is what we’re willing to do contractually. Rosenhaus goes to Brown and says he wants 30 mill guaranteed, Rosenhaus tells Beane, Beane thinks it’s too much and bails our of talks

Going to the Dolphins. 2 years 7 million. Can't say I'm crushed. I"m sure most feel the same.

My guess is that if the Bills called about Brown, they have also called teams about other WRs. I would guess Green and Jones are also I’m that discussion so my thought is they were turned away for now

My question is who gave the info to Rapoport, to the point where he felt comfortable to go on air and announce a trade was very close? Was it some low level staff member Beane was trying to fish out, was it Rosenhaus, realizing Browns market wasn’t good and fed Rapoport hoping that other teams would up their offers?

I would think a swap of 1sts and a mid round makes sense. Buffalo trades 9 a 5th Steelers trade Brown #20. Fair trade for both. Gives the Bills a # 1 WR(smokescreen at the combine huh) they keep a 1st and move down to a sweet spot for a OL, DL, or TE. Word es is that the Bills love Lindstrom the Guard from Boston College.

Man, great player, hopefully stays under control. Has probably 4 years left. I’m gonna guess a lot like the Benjamin trade. I could also see a swap of 1st rounders. Sounds like Buffalo didn’t really want to be in the top 10

Nothing? Not even a peep. Usually they at least announce he’s in town. Nothing about him flying to his next stop either. Must be either finalizibg a contract or he never made it in lol

Sounds like the Browns may also move on from Kevin Zeitler. I’d be all over that if I was the Bills. Great guard.

He's in decline but he is still pretty good. If you can get him on a one year deal for decent money i'd take him for his leadership abilities alone and for the depth but I'm pretty sure he will either A. Go to a contender that can win a SB or B. Go somewhere where he can start. Neither of them are Buffalo unfortunately.

Yup I have and my point still stands. Even so if you play this defense 100% of the time(which they wouldn’t), your wasting a lot of money for a part time player. So your paying a guy for 40% of the snaps. Your gonna sink 18 million dollars of your cap per year into the safety position? Highly unlikely. We have cap space but it’s more likely to be spent at SLB, CB, DT, or DE(as it pertains to defense), there isn’t a lot of money tied up beyond this year.

Yea and your probably going to pay double. I'm talking about bringing in Weddle as a 3rd safety for 4-6 million a year. I also said Weddle probably doesn't come here because he will want to be a starter. Are you gonna pay Landon Collins 9 million a year to sit on the bench. Micah Hyde is already our SS you putting him on the bench?

Eric Weddle just got released. Would be way more interested in that tho I’m sure Weddle would want to start.

For some reason this is all I can think about during this thread lol

Really? He came out the same year as his teammate Bud Dupree and was overshadowed by him at the combine but Smith has been the better pro. Here let me try to educate you on the guy. https://www.google.com/amp/s/247sports.com/college/kentucky/Article/ZaDarius-Smith-most-underrated-free-agent-Pro-Football-Focus-127683622/Amp/ https://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/za-darius-smith-is-making-an-early-statement-in-contract-year

No thanks another prototype guy who doesn’t play up to his measurables. If I’m gonna spend big money on a defensive player I’d rather do it on Za’Darius Smith who’s gotten better every year and could easily be a LDE at 6’4 275

I saw this and laughed immediately at all the McDermott memes. Idk what other Head Coaches and GM's have a strong wrestling background.

I'm guessing by creative he means a guy who can play multiple positions in a defense. Can stand up, can put his hand in the dirt, has experience getting after the QB at multiple positions. I would think that would mean a guy who can play DE/DT or a guy who can play LB/DE. That makes me think he is talking about Anthony Barr or Za'Darius Smith from the Ravens.

The Packers at 12 will take either Sweat or Burns at 12. You want one you take em at 9

You wouldn't be kicking the tires on Collins or Smith. You better be ready to write the big check for those two. Za'Darius Smith is so underrated. You want pass rush he is a guy to go after in FA.

I could see even Sam LB but I think that negates his biggest strength which is rushing the passer. Before the LB's get started, one of my favorite LB's in this Draft is Terrill Hanks from New Mexico State. Former Safety conversion to LB. Fits McDermotts scheme really well. Dont Disappoint me Hanks sticking my neck out here.

I think Burns has been the most impressive DL at this thing and yes that includes Sweat. You can just see his natural athleticism. He is now up to 249 and it hasn't affected him at all. He also has elite college tape unlike Sweat. I would consider him at 9 as well. I want elite traits and elite tape.

Yea except for the fact that you know Julio Jones had everything Metcalf had and Dominated the SEC for multiple years. Something Metcalf never did. He has no wiggle. Hes a straight line guy. That wont play in the NFL. Throw in his Injury history and I'll pass. Great athletes dont necessarily make good football players. You have to take the elite measurables and combine them with tape. Thats what scares me about guys like Gary and Sweat as well. Great athletes who didn't translate it to success on the field.

I'd consider Isabella at 40. I think he will go somewhere in the 2nd round.
