Punt75 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 This year may be fun but look ahead to 2019. Our young quarterbacks will be slotted. Our defense will be established. AND - most importantly - our DEAD CAP of $46 mil will be resolved. In 2019 we are projected to have $65 mil in cap space. Go get the OL in FA we need and a couple of LB's. I expect a deep run into the play-offs! WONDERFUL! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianb386 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 This time last year I was expecting a really bad season. That was before the Watkins and Darby trades. I expect a down year this year, but who knows how it will go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 If Josh Allen wins the starting job (or enters around week 5) and has a promising rookie season then I'll be extremely happy no matter what our record is. Next year's draft class is deep and we should have the money to get a premier O-lineman and WR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOUSE Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I have been looking ahead since the Superbowl years, its always next year. For me its always this year. I see no reason Buffalo can't make the playoffs. We simply need 1 QB to step up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GymShorts84 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 We lost/traded more high end talent last year, compared to this year. We didn't splash in free agency, but we did clean the Salary Cap slate for next year. Good teams hit on their draft picks and extend them after their rookie contracts. Our talent pool is thin due to poor drafts for a decade. I expect to sign a few camp cuts from other teams, compete for 6 to 9 wins, and continue to build for the post-Brady AFC East.

In his case it will be entirely about what he does this year (of course) as opposed to his resume of accomplishments. Additionally, every year there is a WR who is "cut" or traded that makes you scratch your head, see Dez Bryant for a team that really needs a good boundary WR, and others. Equally head-scratching is a case like Moncrief who absolutely got PAID relative to his accomplishments thus far...no doubt Jax is taking the gamble on his ability to contribute. All of that said, I prefer for years the Seahawks and NE model, where WRs are just used as interchangeable parts and not the focal point of their Cap or FA period. The year NE did that? Cooks and while the team was great, Cooks wasn't really worth the price of the trade and now he's in LA. Beane did the opposite by trading Watkins and getting value for him while making the playoffs with a rag-tag bunch of WRs and Benjamin who struggled with injury. Point being, I want good WRs as anyone else does, but they don't change the dynamic of a team or an Offense by themselves like a QB does. So, I'd prefer they spend top dollar protecting the QB investment - depending on how the O-line does this year - and as someone said a LB opposite Milano, CB because Vontae is a one year rental most likely, a TE because they are hard to develop - depending on how Clay plays - and younger depth at WR, not so much an "elite" talent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 The quality of the 2018 and 2019 campaigns depends entirely on whether or not Josh Allen is going to be a franchise QB. If he is, we'll know it this year, and this year will not be a bust. If he is not, it's going to be a horrible year and next year won't be any better.

Midwest1981 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 (edited) We should have more than $65 million in cap space, FWIW. The figure in the thread (nearly $84 million) is pre Allen’s contract. But given it’s looking somewhat dubious that McCoy will be on the roster THIS year (if he isn’t this year then he unequivocally won’t be next, freeing up $10 million more)... AND given that we don’t have (m)any major FA’s (Benjamin, John Miller, and Vontae Davis are the closest)... even after in-season moves we should have well over $80 million.
