I assume the issue is how can the Bills secure a player IN DEMAND over more favourable locations that are also bidding for him? any bum on his way out will sign with the only team asking about him if it means his alternative is selling used cars in his home town Or you may mean offering two or three times market value for a Mario Williams, Which isn’t a good strategy when you have 14 starting positions to fill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been the laughing stock of the NFL for 3 of the first 4 weeks so far. If by 3 of the first 4 weeks, you mean 25 years, you are correct, sir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As pointed out above, money. That's what accounts for probably 95% of all player decisions regarding what team to go to. The offseason after the Browns went 0 - 16 saw them pick up some very nice FAs. 7 hours ago, Brianmoorman4jesus said: All everyone keeps saying is how much money we have next year and how many picks...what makes anybody think these guys will pick the right players? You can have all the picks and money in the world. If you can’t identify talent..it won’t matter. Our Recieving group is legitimately embarrassing. The fact that these guys had months before the season to get players in and this is what they came up with, is scary. Last year was no better. The Oline is very suspect. That’s a good feeling when you are starting a rookie.?To think that our only 2 QBs on the roster, are a very raw Rookie and a second year guy that we literally can’t put back in a game...what are we doing here? I don’t care if we have 150 mil in cap room, these guys don’t know what to do with it. We don’t have to be this bad right now. We don’t have money tied up in a big qb contract. The cupboard wasn’t bare when these guys got here. They made it that way. Seemingly for no reason. Where does this faith come from? Yes, the FO has to make the right decisions. No, it's not scary they have a poor receiving group. It was clear they needed help at WR, but they didn't spend many resources on it. That's because they had major needs nearly everywhere. If they had gone WR in the first they wouldn't have gotten one of either Edmunds or Allen. Both of whom if they work out play a position that's far more needful than WR given the defense they want to run. Beane has had exactly one draft. One. Not one guy he's drafted has played more than four games. The fact is that we simply don't know yet how good he is at drafting or at bringing in FAs when he has money. He has no history of either as yet. He'll either be good or bad, and we don't know which as yet. Myself, I think he's shown himself a smart cookie with a plan. He still has to prove himself but I've got decent confidence he'll do so. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes exactly.... you are adding a different context to what the OP wrote and answering based on that. It doesn't take an extraordinary amount of intellectual resources to say to someone "you can get paid x to go to a Super Bowl contender OR a the exact same amount for a bottom dwellar" and have to wonder what the most likely answer would be. However, to imply no one will come to Buffalo (or Cleveland or Jets etc) because of the record is blatantly false and THUS my original response. Enjoy the day!
