I would have held steady for a 5th. I get the hands are tied a bit but he’s got two years of team control left, has really good upside as a DE and a very good ST already. plus he was a 7th rounder and a 5th just seems like a better return on investment

Would I have picked up the option? Yes I would have to see if he can be that guy still. He’s only 23. Would I give him a monster extension? The answer is no

My thought is it’s gotta be well give up Obada or Addison. Beane spoke highly of Johnson on STs (maybe that’s GM speak) but usually Beane is a straight shooter. Addison was also out there pretty late for a veteran guy

no but prob whether they want to keep him on the ps or not

prob want to see if Fromm can play and want to give him reps with the 2s to prove it

a guy who won’t be cut on most teams in the NFL right now it’s Nick Mcloud or Cam Lewis

This team desperately needs another quality corner. I get both Wallace and Jackson are out but yuck

3 out of 5 ain’t bad. Surprising that they kept Love as I gotta think he will pursue a different opportunity than the PS again for the Bills. Griffin I can see why they kept. Thought Hester initially but with Star and Oliver likely not playing and Phillips hurt they are gonna need Bryant and Hester to take the bulk of the reps in this final game

I get that and my thought process is a lot like yours. Sweeney can’t stay healthy(heart issue, now this years injury). Gilliam can play 3rd TE like he did last year, and he doesn’t provide STs value like Johnson, Stevenson, or one of the DBs. In addition the Bills go a lot of 10 and 11 personnel and I don’t expect that to change a lot this year making a 3rd TE with injury history and no STs value very vulnerable. Spencer Brown can come in on short yardage 3rd TE situation with Gilliam at FB. People must remember Brown is a converted former TE as well so he could catch in goal line situations. Just food for thought

Yea I mean I don’t disagree with most of this. I could honestly see 2 TEs making it in Knox and Hollister and letting Sweeney go to keep Johnson as another DE or to keep Stevenson as a 7th WR or maybe to keep an extra DB like Lewis or Wildgoose

I get Thompson looks decent but you have to pair down the safeties at some point and he’s low man. Poyer, Hyde, Johnson, Hamlin, Thomas all will be or have a better shot at the roster. Only way I don’t see him cut this round is simply because Jaquan Johnson Is hurt and may not play and they need an extra body for the final preseason game

most of his muffs came in the preseason with Denver so they aren’t an official stat that’s why you think he has more but the stats don’t say that

Yup let him stay for the year, Daboll gets a head job signs Trubisky, take the comp pick and say thank you very much then sign a Bridgwater/Lock/Darnold next year if they flip and rinse and repeat

Saf- Tariq Thompson DE- Mike Love TE- Bug Howard OL- Tyler Gauthier CB- Olijuah Griffin

Addison with his age and contract is not a tradeable asset. If he’s gone he’ll be cut

that’s not what I said at all. If you were looking at things evenly, without the idea Basham was a 2nd round pick, Basham would prob be the odd man out. That’s what I said, I also said he clearly isn’t going to be cut. Which is what makes the decision super hard. Obada, Addison, or Johnson is going and I think I’d lean towards cutting Addison but I don’t think that happens

Some really interesting decisions to come. Tons of depth on this team that could play significant roles for other teams. Stevenson’s injury may make him IR eligible for redshirt getting us to 6 WRs and making that decision easier. Same with Hodgins. DE may be harder. Ideally Basham goes but we all know they aren’t cutting a 2nd rounder. I’m thinking Obada or Johnson gets traded at some point

Jordan Devey has been pretty awful for a veteran guy who has NFL regular season playing experience

Is it possible the Bills only keep 2 TEs with Gilliam as a 3rd option and keep 7 WRs. I think that’s very possible

I think you have to find a way to keep Stevenson. I don’t know how you do it but he’ll get swooped up if we try to practice squad him

Fields makes this 2nd half watchable, I wanna see the Bills make him struggle after his success last week.

Its clear that their goal going in was to establish the running game since most of their weapons were not playing in this game. It was a big issue for them last year and they want to improve on that this year. It was boring for sure but something that they wanted against live competition. Plus it was a basic playbook of not showing much for the season. Most of the pass plays were waggles and rolls aimed for the TE group. Very basic stuff. I told a coworker last night it was very encouraging to me that the Bills backups were controlling the game against the Lions starters. Shows the depth the Bills have as they were up 3-0 then 10-3
