Looks like the my used some of that Beasley money to sign Settle since they waited so long

lol a poison pill contract to a guy who has started what 5 games in his career? I doubt it. Just means we'll bank the 2.4 million back and sign another guard if he decides to leave. He's a decent player but lets not Ryan Groy this and he's out of the league in 3 more years.

I don't think he said that they would all be first round picks, they just wouldn't make it to the Bills end of the 2nd round pick. I easily see McCreary, Gordon, and Elam being 2nd rounders but going before the Bills make their selection.

The problem is out of those guys Gardner, Stingley, McDuffie, Gordon, Booth, Kaiir Elam, Roger McCreary are all going before the Bills pick in round 2. The only one that even remotely has a shot is Kyler Gordon in my opinion. If we want a day 1 starter at CB we have to draft one at 25. I'm in agreement with you but the top 7 guys dont make it to Bills round 2 pick. The next best guy is arguable amongst Emerson, Bryant, Woolen etc that next tier but thats a pretty steep fall off like your saying.

I could see a cheap cheap contract just to ring chase but beyond that I think its time to move on. Give the young guys a shot opposite Miller

I think it’s a make it or break it year. I think Beane sees his struggles at times, so he said alright we’re not talented enough in front of him. So he adds Jones, Settle, and presumably Jordan Phillips. 2 guys at 320+ and another guy at 310 who are upgrades over what we have. Then he adds a premier pass rusher to help take the pressure off the pass game. I think the mindset is if hey he still struggles after everything we have done to help him then that’s a clear sign he is what he is. If he explodes then you have your answer that he just needed more around him to be successful

It is but GM's are given knowledge of where the Cap is going in future years so they know how to structure deals to make it all fit. The Bills dont have a lot of money this year but they have money 2-3 years from now and that doesn't account for the TV deal bump its gonna get. Okay so they do a lower base salary this year for Miller and give him a massive signing bonus to spead the cap number so he fits this year and will get more in future years when the cap explodes.

I also believe they will sign Fitz but probably later than now. He’s not needed for mini camps. Bring in Allen give him some reps and then bring in two UDFAs as camp arms. Let him heal, give him a small 1 year deal, and you have one of the better backups for a year , who can actually win you a couple games if absolutely needed. If not you have a great locker room guy who knows the culture and can help Allen with prep

WR is way deeper than CB this year the value at round 1 CB is gone by the 2nd pick. It’s a pretty significant drop. The Bills could get a baller WR in round 2 or even 3 or 4. There are that many good WRs.CB makes way more sense in round 1. McDuffie at 25 and Dotson/Watson/Pierce etc sounds better than Chris Olave and Martin Emerson to me . 1st round WR is more exciting and it’s possible just my opinion I see Gordon as a dark horse. Fits the Bills blood but a lot of people think he’s a slot only, he’s undersized and ran “slow” at 4.53 at the combine. I think his teammate McDuffie is a way better option to be honest

Let’s talk 1st round Cornerbacks: Sauce Gardner and Derek Stingley are probably gone unless the Bills trade up. So then we have Kaiir Elam CB Florida Kyler Gordon CB Washington Roger McCreary CB Auburn Andrew Booth CB Clemson Trent McDuffie CB Washington Out of these guys I think the Bills would prefer in order Andrew Booth Kaiir Elam Trent McDuffie Roger McCreary Kyler Gordon Its very possible Booth is off the board. I think it’s likely that the other 4 will be on the board and if their set on CB then the Bills will either pick Elam or McDuffie. Gordon has the personality type the Bills love but could be a slot only guy. If the Bills believe he can play outside than he’s in the mix

If we have any type of money left then Donte Jackson is that guy. I suspect their going CB round 1 for sure, then WR, OL, and LB in some semblance

boy idk if we got the cash but that’d be a great get. Good news is we haven’t heard any rumors of interest so that almost guarantees we’ve called right?

Man that means Star has to be gone after June 1st if true. so you got Ed, and Jordan Phillips at the 3 Tech Jones and Settle at the 1T Can probably say that there is no shot at Jordan Davis now, not that I personally wanted him

If the Bills are looking for someone similar I’m guessing Patterson or Jerick McKinnon would be next on the line

so much for that 1 year at a reasonable cost for back surgery . The base pay at 9 isn’t bad but with I’m guessing a lot of reachable incentives it will be more like 11 a year

Probably Melvin Ingram or Za’Darius Smith or Uchenna Nwosu. Nwosu hasn’t had big production but he’s the youngest. Im a huge fan of Smith since he was drafted and has been a stud for the Ravens and Packers. Problem is he had back surgery and who knows what you’ll get from him. On the positive side you might be able to get him on a 1 year semi conservative deal Ingram is a 1 year deal guy and he still can get after it but for some reason I don’t see the Bills pursuing there

With McKissic backing out the Bills are back on the comp board for next year

yes ik that. It doesn’t matter I’m telling you just go on over the cap they have a whole system and they get like 95% of the right every year

when we lost Stephon Gilmore and he went on to be a pro bowler the next season did we get any pick for him despite getting one of the highest paid CB salaries at the time? The answer is no. It doesn’t matter near as much as people try to make it out

the pro bowl , contract stuff you heard in the past is a fallacy. The contract only matters for 2 reasons. 1. Alike contracts for gained and lost cancel each other out 2. Remaining players who didn’t get cancel get slotted for a round based on remaining contract size. hope that makes some sense

even so far. Players we cut don’t count. So no Williams, Klein when they sign. So far we’re even gained 3 lost 3. Gained Jones Settle McKissic Lost: Trubisky Wallace Phillips Saffold doesn’t count as he was cut by the Titans

100% the next signing will be neither Jones or Hicks. It will be at neither position being discussed

2 years 17 million makes me think the Giants may have offered Trubisky more but he saw a better opportunity with the Steelers and took less money

its actually not hard at all but the mystique surrounding it years ago still gets to people. Did you gain more non cut free agents than you lost. Oh you gained more? No comp pick Did you lose more than you gained? Yes? How many? 2 more? 2 comp picks. How much money did they make? That slots into what round you get as a pick

As it stands rn the Bills won’t get a pick next year either
