We will do our due diligence there. “To make a move like that you have to know that it’s a better player than the two we have on our team, which would be Tyrod (Taylor) and Nathan (Peterman). Both those guys bring a lot of value to our team, so we have to take all those factors into consideration. “You have to weigh what is the cost? What it does to your cap? What other moves you can do around it.” I guess now they're weighing if it's a better player than Nate Peterman. Kind of a low bar. Hope whoever we take doesn't trip over the (bar)stool.

Beane has done things i never expected: trading sammy, dareus, trading for Benjamin, etc. Different situation when a player reaches UFA with better situations for Cousins as discussed many times here on TSW.

Cripple Creek Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 1 hour ago, YoloinOhio said: He said they will build through the draft and won’t be “splashy” in FA. Believe nothing.he had McD have also said they view FA as just as important as the draft while building a team. Outside of Buffalo was Hyde considered a "flashy" signing? In retrospect all jumped on board. I expect they do the same with whoever is their #1 target this time around. Lay all their cards on the table and make it clear that he (whoever he is) is their guy. So, for those saying the team will wait things out, I beg to differ. If they see their guy they will go get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 8 minutes ago, bobobonators said: I wouldnt belive a single word from anyone in the Bills org at this time. I get that Beane has, in the past, commented on bldg the team through the draft. But the QB position is another animal in my opinion. You have zero guarantees you’ll get your guy on draft day. You dont have that kind of unilateral control. FA has to be plan A. And the draft has to be plan B. When the option is "sign a big FA QB" vs trade up for a top guy in the draft, it's actually not inconsistent with what Beane has said - if you keep more of your draft picks because you signed 1 FA vs trading picks for a QB, you can build more of the team through the draft.

Just don't be disappointed when they don't. Brees? Hahahahahaha no. Cousins, it wouldn't surprise me if the Bills make a play for him, but from the Cousins POV I would expect him to turn them down. Keenum or Foles (not FA), maybe Bradford or Bridgewater, Please No. Please No. TBH, I don't have a clue what McBeane will do. I didn't think they'd trade Dareus mid-season, and I didn't think they'd trade TT until they had someone else on the roster.
