whatdrought Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 We should be pretty active in FA next year as we will want to be filling in our team to start competing. Who do you want to see? (Obviously this is too early and many of these guys will re-sign/be franchised) Offensive line: Shaq Mason, NE Rob Havenstein, LA Ali Marpet, TB Matt Paradis, DEN WR: Stefon Diggs, MIN Brandin Cooks, LA Dline- Geno Atkins, CIN Danielle Hunter, MIN Khalil Mack, OAK Jadeaveon Clowny,. HOU Wouldn't surprise me to see us go big and get a big splash name like Diggs or Atkins to help boost our team and use the cap. http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/2019/offensive-line/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I would like to see them target specific star type players with that free agent money.....plus it will be important to extend players that are actually on the team and playing well for us. We REALLY need a right OT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offyourocker Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I looked at the list a month ago or so when there was a lot of talk about us having lots of cap space next year and I did not really see a lot of exciting names. I think guys like Diggs, Clowney and Mack won't make it to free agency. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BADOLBILZ Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 14 minutes ago, whatdrought said: I am hoping Arden Key has a good rookie year and the Raiders are happy enough with their pass rush that they somehow don't extend or franchise Mack. Get Mack and then draft UB receiver Anthony Johnson then Promo can return to epic levels of Bills homer-ism! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think guys like Diggs, Clowney and Mack won't make it to free agency. I think either Diggs, Hunter, or Anthony Barr are likely to shake out of Minnesota (can't pay them all) and any of those three would help us. If we have Edmund's playing prominently MLB and pair Barr with him at SLB our front seven would be amazing. Also, It's hard to say what Oakland will do now that Chucky is at the switch. (though Mack is likely not going anywhere) Geno Atkins is interesting to me because he's getting older and I expect CIn. to be in a rebuild mode next year. Add that to the fact that there's a thick DL draft and he could shake loose and might be a great replacement for Kyle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 IIRC Beckham is due for free agency, right? I mean, not that I particularly want him, but he would likely be a market setter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyBills Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 We're going to have a ton of spending cash and not many of our own FA to sign. 18 was the most important draft in forever. 19 will be one of the most FA periods in franchise history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Mack would make the most sense. I think diggs and cooks are solid but I wouldnt want to pay them 15 mill a year. I know we have the cap room but I don’t think they’re worth that money. Spending $ on OL and drafting weapons on O might be the way to go. How’s the OL class next year look? Maybe we can grab a WR, RB and TE next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills_believer Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Our own list includes: Kelvin Benjamin, Kyle Williams, Lorenzo Alexander, Vontae Davis, Ryan Groy, Jordan Mills and Colton Schmidt. If Davis and Benjamin have big years, they would command big contracts, but otherwise the list looks manageable for the Bills to resign. With lots of cap room I think the Bills would probably try to keep Davis and Benjamin if they play well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on Mack's behavior last season when the Raiders came to town it'd appear as if he's still somehow salty that he was passed up for Watkins during the 2014 draft. Or maybe something weird happened because before last season I don't recall him having any issues answering Buffalo-related questions given his college alma-mater is right behind where I'm currently seated. But then last season as that Bills-Raiders game rolled around and suddenly the dude refused to speak a word about Buffalo whatsoever. I'd assume Buffalo isn't on his list of destinations if he gets to test FA lol. We can dream, tho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njbuff Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 If the Bills are a good team and they are contenders, I would want the Bills to keep their own first before delving into FA. i would expect most of those names on that list to be franchised and/or re-signed by their teams also.

thebandit27 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 (edited) I'm all over Stefon Diggs and Shaq Mason, and I'd definitely look at Daryl Williams too. Grab those 3 guys and you can spend the rest of UFA acquiring depth at DT, LB, and CB. Also, big nod to my boy Quinton Spain, who I had rated as a fringe day 2 guy coming out of West Virginia Edited May 2, 2018 by thebandit27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar with Davis. I'll be happy to upgrade from Mills. Schmidt is decent but you don't overpay for a punter. So, the only big ticket is Benjamin.

The way I see it, if he plays well enough to earn a franchise tag, with the way our defense is shaping up we are probably going back to the playoffs.

Seemed like he lost that affinity last season, if that's not the case though, why give people such a hard time about answering any Buffalo-related questions? You mention a scholarship for his brother, which I admit I know nothing about but maybe UB didn't offer him the scholarship and that's why he was weird?
