The Browns have plenty of cap money to spend. Will Gaines be worth it to them for the 10 games or so that he suits up for ?

If they are smart they limit his contact in practice and do not let him play any preseason.

Were you on the team?  Did you run the scout team and get complimented by Ray Lewis about how good you were at it?  If not, then no.

It annoys me that for whatever the reason, and it is probably a good one, the Woods retirement hasn't been put to bed.  granted it would have been only 2-3 extra million dollars, but maybe it would have been enough to bring him back.

 

White, Davis, Gaines, Hyde, Poyer and bush for depth?  Are you freaking kidding me?!

 

WR receivers around the NFL on the BIlls schedule in 2018 would not want any bit of that s*** sandwich.

WR crew is in worse shape.

LB is even worse unless we're hoping to start Lorax and Humber again

The Bills signed Davis to replace Gaines.  They'll find backup CB's. 

Leonard Johnson still hasn't signed anywhere, we could bring him back and draft someone with one of our 5ths and be good to go.

This is another confirmation on my thought that the Browns want to be the Bills. That #1 pick is in the bag baby!!! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They probably want Shady as well.

in fact the only thing letting me sleep at night probably would have been the bills draught . . . and now i'd probably be drinking at the edge of some high rise roof

 The Bills definitely could have afforded him. I guess they really didn’t want him back. 

think they just already signed a guy.  he was probably looking for more before free agency

McCoach has said before that availability is #1 ...

 

Gaines is a very good CB when he's on the field. Problem is, he isn't on the field enough to pay him top $$$.

We signed some guys. But i'm pretty sure we're going to lose more than we signed when it's all said and done.

 

You know where i'm going with this...

That 7th round compensatory pick that will change the fortunes of this Western NY team ?

4 mil, that's it?!  That's ridiculous that we didn't re-sign him.  4 Mil is a splash in the bucket for the way our defense played with him on the field. 

 

Huge thumbs down Beane

Agreed.

 

Hell he could have been used in trade to Browns for pick#4 also.

As are sands in the hour glass, these are the days of our lives........ Comp pick here we come

:huh:.......... They have drafted in the top 10 how many years in a row now? They traded away picks that ended up being? I wouldn't say that just yet. 

Dorsey"s 1st year there.

They seemed to prefer Vontae, and both want to play outside. EJ is on a one year deal and will start in Cleveland on the outside (he’s their #1 CB now) and not so much in Buffalo.  It’s not just about this year. He’s a young guy. It’s about next FA as well. He’s much better positioned for a bigger deal next year than he would have been playing #3 CB in slot here.

Ouch.  That hurts.  1 year 4 mill.  Really pissed that we didn’t make that happen. Still love me some Beane, but he’d really be a great piece.  Eager to see the plan at nickel.  Johnson made some really nice plays last year but was also really exposed   I was hoping for an upgrade.  I’d expect a CB to be drafted eithin the first 4 rds
