    That's the "by the book" breakdown.

     

    Houston can take on any amount they want, and even trade us cash for a player.

     

    We'll have to see how this shakes out.

    houston could take on guarenteed money, but it can't take on dead money. dead money is money that is already paid to diggs, it can't be changed

    Check out the chiefs WR room

    yeah, but they also have one of the smartest offensive minds leading the offense, and the offense struggled in the regular season and was carried by their defense.

     

     

    if andy reid was controlling our offense, i would have more faith

    why? cuz we are smartly moving on from an aging wr

    cause all the receivers we have now are either mediocre or still being developed. And we don't have much resources to make sure we can replace him. We got no cap room, and there is no guarantee we will get good value at drafting someone at 28.  we could be drafting the 6th best receiver at that point, and chances him him being as good as diggs isn't very high.

    Was it? I didn't hear anything about him working with Jordan last offseason and I do think there were some signs of regression in some of his fundamentals. That isn't me accusing him of not working hard by the way - I have no idea what he did last offseason but I didn't hear, unlike previous years, mentions of him working with Palmer and I thought it was telling when he was on the media round at the Superbowl he was asked about his offseason workout plans and didn't mention Palmer once. I sort of suspected that relationship had concluded. I'd be interested in hearing to that contrary. 

    both josh and kyle allen were working with palmer, and it was talked about in preseason in various reports, podcasts, and videos.

    Something’s gotta be off with the cap calculation or there are still some more moves still coming because we can’t field a full team right now cap wise according to the cap numbers last updated in this thread.  We wouldn’t even be able to sign any rookies, let alone fill out the rest of the roster.  

    Yeah, something ain't right. Hoping that it is just because the new signings weren't calculated right into the cap numbers,  because we would probably have to shed another 5 million at minimum to last us until the June 1st when we get the tre white money.

    Joe Marino will be happy … has been riding this guy hard for weeks 

    I forget what number he was wanting him at, but I think he only had him at 1 million a year range. This is a little high, but not crazy.

    Beane was too scared to make the deal some of us were hoping for. Trade up in the first round to get a star WR is apparently not meant to be 

    They would have to trade into the top 10 to get one of the top 3. This WR class is loaded, they would be dumb to trade any higher than to pick 19. They can easily get a great received staying at 28. They can probably get a good one in round 2 as well.

    The Bills would be better served hyper focusing on the draft. Free agency is a poison pill if trying to land a big name guy.

     

    You're competing against other teams trying to fill the same positional need, and to get the player you desire, that almost always means overpaying (that will be especially true this year with added cap space.) Most important, you're overpaying for a player who performed well in someone else's system. How they'll translate to your system, or what made them successful in the prior system, is often highly unpredictable. 

     

     

    Naw, the bills need to fill all their needs in free agency so they can draft the best players available in the draft. if they just ignore free agency, they are going to be forced to draft starters at DT, DE, and Safety in the draft even if they aren't the best available. They shouldn't go after top tier free agents, unless there is a special circumstance like a one year deal. But they still need to get some quality players in free agency that can be a starter if needed.

    That opinion is in the minority...

     

    You are basically engaging in a logical fallacy.  You don't like the message so you attack the messenger.

     

    The old ad hominem!  It's older than stupidity itself.

     

     

     

    I never said I don't like the message.  And it wasn't an "attack" on the messenger. It was a critique on his writing style. Ever since he went out on his own, his writing has looked sloppy. I am guessing it is the result of not having an editor to clean it up. 

     

    It is fine if I am in the minority in my opinion. But maybe you should take a reading comprehension class if you think what I said had anything to do with not liking the message.

    Then you're missing out on a man telling the truth here.  I get that Dunne has a "rep" but check these out and tell me he's wrong:

     

    Those suffering from Drought Brain — terrified of another dark age — will soon nestle into another blanket of excuses and swiftly demonize any criticism of team, of coach.

     

    None of this happens if the Bills — ownership on down — operate with Allen at forefront of mind. He’s the most important person in the building. He’s the employee with the richest contract in Buffalo sports history. That’s what blew the minds of so many players and coaches I spoke to for The McDermott Problem. Those who’ve been around McDermott every day describe the coach as a simpleton when it comes to this position, as if he never understood that Allen was the No. 1 reason this team is a Super Bowl contender.

     

    As I write this column, McDermott is holding his season-ending press conference. He says the biggest reason for their turnaround was cutting down turnovers. Let’s hope he doesn’t try to neuter Allen’s arm this offseason after taking aim at his legs last offseason

     

    This guy needs to take a writing class. Good grief, that is painful to read.
