  1. Over the cap has a savings of 2.77 mil if he is traded post June 1st. I could see the Beane wizard getting a late round for him in training camp. Based on positional flexibility i would say he is the mostly likely to get moved. https://overthecap.com/player/spencer-long/3017/
  2. Beane is the wizard at this the way Belichick is the wizard at getting comp picks... Its amazing how he gets picks for random guys he is going to cut anyways
  3. I’ve been saying it for over a month now. Singletary is legit, like top 5 RB in the NFL legit but I prefer a RBBC approach. It’ll keep Singletary fresh, lengthen his career and constantly keep defenses off guard. Every time Singletary stepped out for a breather our running game suffered massively. Gore and Yeldon were just not good enough to keep the chains moving. There’s at least half a dozen RBs RDS 2-4 that I think could come in right away and help us, Taylor, Dobbins, CEH, Moss, Dillon, Benjamin etc, and I’m sure I’m missing a couple but the point remains, adding another bell cow RB makes our offense dangerous. We’re deep everywhere but RB and it’s a position that is in obvious need of an upgrade. I’d prefer we go to the draft for RB and not FA. Find a young stud that can help spearhead a doubleheaded monster with Singletary. I’d prefer we address it RD2 especially if Dobbins or Taylor slip, maybe even trade up a little bit get one but WR is also still a need, we could go there as well, I guess it depends on how the board plays out. We need RB, WR, DE so I’m hoping we address these areas in RDS 2, 3 & 4. Other than that I think our roster is pretty jacked, like should compete for a Super Bowl Championship level jacked. Brandon Beane is a genius and quite frankly one of the best GMs in football, if not in all of sports. The man is a wizard.
  4. Hopefully Beane can put on his wizard's hat and once again trade those players that aren't going to make the cut on this deep roster and stock up on some more draft capital to use like the 5th and 6th round picks (Teller / Bodine) that were a part of the Diggs deal.
  5. They are gonna get us someone. You know Beane has his wizard hat on tight all week. Ha
  6. I wouldn't hate it if the price is reasonable. Could this be another "Beane is a wizard" moment?
  7. We ***** let him go for one year so he can make a key play that leads directly to the game winning FG in the playoff game. Beane is a wizard and should have seen the future and not allowed him to leave last year. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/play-of-the-year-deshaun-watsons-astonishing-scramble-caps-texans-incredible-ot-rally/ar-BBYClx1
  8. He has been a very good pick up by the Bills. Beane and his staff are wizards. However, he is likely to get greatly overpaid by someone and that should not be the Bills. Oliver and Harry are the future, at DT and they can fill the rotation from there. Personally, I would rather see them retain Shaq and cut Murphy loose.
  9. I hear what you are saying - I just do not believe it myself. Alex Smith and Tyrod Taylor are not even close to equivalent. The year Mahomes was drafted Alex Smith averaged over 100 yards more passing per game than TT. He threw nearly 2x as many TDs and had a better TD to Int ratio. Alex Smith was a legitimate ProBowl player that year (not the 6th alternate because everyone else dropped out). Mahomes got to learn under an offensive wizard in Ried and got to watch a ProBowl level QB run the offense. The Chiefs had also been building offense for years - so when Mahomes was ready to take over they had a superb offense ready to go and then Reid tweaked it to hit Mahomes strengths as a spread QB. In Buffalo with a defensive Head Coach and a limited offense - he would have been asked to do so much less - plus he would have learned behind Taylor who was more of a free lancer on the field making film study harder. You also have to remember that Mahomes was no more highly touted than JA in the draft process - most thought he was the 2nd or 3rd best QB and a middle of the road prospect that was very raw and was not suited to an NFL style of play as a spread QB. Many spread QBs have lead college football in passing yards/TDs etc. - few ever turned out as anything special. I think he went to the perfect team and at the perfect time and had Buffalo drafted him - we would be looking to move on/mid level contract extension because he would lack all of the support that made him great. The offense might be better, but Mahomes gets away with a ton of throws because his WRs make plays for him. The Bills WRs the last 3years have struggled to make routine catches - let alone bail out the QB by going up and making a spectacular catch on what should have been an INT. Maybe he would have been special/maybe not - very hard to know, but my belief is coaching and scheme matter in this league and if he had come to Buffalo - the coaching and the scheme would have held him back because that was not the type of team we were building. Now could Bean have changed course for year 2 and pushed us forward - maybe, but there was still a discernible lack of talent on offense that needed to be addressed that would most likely have significantly dampened the numbers Mahomes put up.
  10. I didn't realize this. Beane is a true Wizard! Of course there is no way to keep this going for much longer but wow, what a young, talented, cap-friendly team we have. We are set up to be contenders for years to come. I am hoping to see Patriot like dominance in this division and in the NFL for the next 2 decades. WE DESERVE IT!!!
  11. This was quite informative and insightful. So much of this makes senses now...how a guy with no injury history can go to dealing with so many things like this. Not taking care of his body, partying, and ripping his cast off, etc. One thing I will always stand by is that the talent and gifts are there. But he was clearly a troubled soul between his personal demons and his off field troubles, struggles, and distractions. I feel bad for him, reading this just puts into perspective how difficult his journey has been both thanks to self sabotage from fighting his own demons, to the struggles and problems with those around him he cared most for. I will say this...if Sammy can get to a place where he has peace off the field...peace within himself...he could still be quite special on the field. That being said, I don't know if he will ever find that balance though. Reading this I just kept thinking about Cris Carter. A guy with all this talent but his demons were holding his career back. But once he broke through and got to a good place the rest was history. But thats not an easy task to do...and only time will tell. I will continue to hope for his success and he finds his way out of all these dark places. But, having read all this now, the original trade of him to the Rams not only makes perfect sense, but was pretty significant foresight for Beane and we got great value in return. It also makes sense why Rams did not want to keep him, and instead traded for Cooks. Moral of the story: Beane is a wizard.
  12. The gig is up, so much for Beane being a wizard.
  13. I agree to an extent.. obviously beane is a wizard and knows best but I would have liked to see us make a move in the third or early fourth and grab a different wide receiver... this draft was loaded with WR talent and I'm not convinced the two we snagged are ever going to be big contributors
  14. Agree with most of what you said. A draft where, after every pick, I just thought “ok, I like it!”... maybe I just trust anything Beane does at this point. I love Fromm as a football player.. I do worry about his arm in cold and/or windy weather. He clearly doesn’t have a cannon, but if he can handle the elements of football north of the Mason Dixon Line, we got ourselves a tremendous backup QB. Moss/Epenesa were homerun picks. Taking two WRs in a loaded WR draft, even after trading for Diggs, is something I absolutely loved. No issue with Bass or Jackson. McDermott is a secondary wizard and it may be time to move on from Haushka. I would’ve liked a punter, but Beane seems pretty high on Vedvik being that competition for Bojo. Most exciting camp battle is going to be for the last 2-3 WR spots. “Iron sharpens iron”... Duke, McKenzie and Foster better bring it if they want to hold off Davis and Hodgins.
  15. Not sure a kicker drafted with pick 188 can be considered a reach. But I agree with the premise of the article - Beane has donned his wizards hat yet again.
  16. That could happen, and I like your suggestion of trading two 2nd rounders for him. Although the Jaguars will exhaust their search for that elusive first round pick from another team. Beane is going to have to put that wizard hat on and summon as many powers from Elysium, Nirvana & The Happy Hunting Grounds as he can.
  17. Im with the consensus here...Dawkins. I love Milano, but at the end of the day we need to protect Allen more than anything and he's a pretty good LT who I think has his best days ahead of him now with the OL being rebuilt last year and again added to this year. Hopefully we can keep both, but I think its a no brainer if its a choice between the two. Beane is a wizard, so I am optimistic he can find a way to retain both.
  18. You can never tell what the wizard is gonna do, all options are open all the time with Beane. Every time I think he’s done, he’s not. Go Bills!!!
  19. That comment accomplishes two things. First is to show support and confidence in a Bills player, the second is pure smokescreen about interest in other potential RB. No question the Bills will add someone to that room. We will look back at this comment by Beane and when we draft a solid RB we will once again call him a wizard!
  20. This over paid stuff is getting out of control. We did not overpay. Diggs was cheaper than trading up just 4 places in the draft to get a WR. We landed a bonafide top 10, maybe top 5 WR in the NFL who literally leads all WRs in contested catches since 2017, is the top deep threat in the league and an elite route runner. We gave up some extra scrap picks that we picked up from trading some bad players away last year (Beane is a wizard) and still have ALL of our remaining picks in this draft outside the first we used essentially on Diggs. Furthermore, Diggs contract is substantially better even though he is a much better player. The main additional cost was next years 4th, which is equivalent in value to a 5th this year. Players taken in the 4th, 5th, and 6th rounds are most often guys for depth and ST. Sure, decent starters and even great players are found there, but the odds of that are low in comparison. We essentially threw in some low round picks to guarantee the WR we added to our team with a first round pick was a stud. Never have I seen so many people concerned with a few scrap picks when those picks landed us an elite player. More importantly...Beane was NEVER going to use all those picks to draft players. We dont have enough open roster spots and was always going to use them as leverage to get a big trade for a veteran player or move around the draft. So we didnt lose anything here, Beane used his extra capital to get a stud instead of an unknown.
  21. Based on Beane’s wording, it sounds like Milano and Dawkins may actually share an agent... not just an agency. Which if that’s the case, is an advantage for us. It’s not an uncommon thing in sports for an agent to try and leverage one premier client’s deal with a team into a deal for a different player on the same team. If you follow what I’m saying? Basically Lagardere Unlimited wants to get as much as they can for Milano an Dawkins, while also factoring in whether those guys want to stay in Buffalo or not (Dawkins has made it clear he loves it). So Lagardere may make concessions across both deals in order to maximize the total value and fit their client’s needs. Also, it’s an advantage because Beane is a wizard.
  22. So you dont think a 5th rd TE (maybe J.Pickney or the Dayton TE) could possibly beat out Kroft or Sweeney for a roster spot. Do you really think our depth is that completely solid. A few injuries to any positions other than the O &D lines scares the crap out if me. If J. Brown and C. Beasley went down for 6-8 weeks our wr group would be simply trash besides Diggs. If Edmunds and milano were hurt for 6-8 games I'd hate to see who all was left. We need more solid competition. Im willing to bet atleast 2-3 4th to 7th rounders make this squad. Especially with the wizard Beane drafting them.
  23. I highly doubt this. Beane seems great at picking contributers in the late rounds. I think we might see one trade up this draft maybe in the 3rd rd. I really don't understand why so many people think our roster is so stacked. If we have a injury bug like philly did last year. We will need rookies to contribute more than last year. We still need depth and future players to develop under our veterans. So lets not mortgage our future so much. Remember Beane is a wizard at finding late round talent i.e. Tommy Sweeney, D. Johnson.
  24. Two tears ago we had an offense bereft of talent. Fast forward to today and we have arguably the best WR trio in the League. With Singletary, Hyde, and Akers we would have a upper tier RB room too. Beane the Wizard
