He had his previous worst year in 2017, followed by his worst year last year.  Being the best player on a horrible team doesn't make one a great player.

 

Captain is nothing but a C on a jersey.  He is not a leader, that I can see.  His character is absolutely horrible, unless you think he's a good guy for fighting cops and paying people to beat up women.

 

Most importantly (relative to football), he's over 30 years old.  He entered the season with a bad groin and ended it with a bad hamstring.  He's toast.

 

I enjoyed Shady's tenure in Buffalo.  But he's done and we have to get younger.

 

it is obvious you are shaded (see what I did there) by his so called off field "issues". 

 

Teammates love him, coaches love him, does good community work. I wont get into defending the off the field stuff because it has had no impact on his play. 

 

Theres no reason not to keep him, we have plenty of money, even if he is just a third down back. If you dont think him being a captain doesnt make him a leader, well, sorry but you are wrong. He is viewed in the locker room as a true leader and thats all that matters.

 

Brace yourself gug, he will be back next year.

Unsigned:

Miller

Mills

 

Cut:

Ducasse

Clay

 

Free Agency:

RT- Darryl Williams- Car. ($9M cap hit)

OC- Mitch Morse- K.C. ($8M cap hit)

OG- AJ Cann- Jax ($3M cap hit)

WR- Adam Humphries- T.B. ($8M cap hit)

WR- Chris Conley- K.C. ($5M cap hit)

TE-Tyler Kroft-Cin ($5M cap hit)

DE- Vinny Curry- TB ($3M cap hit)

~Approximately $41M spent on these players. Granted though, NFL contracts are complicated & I’m bad at this, but I gave it my best shot.

 

Draft:

 

 

(Jonah Williams & Gregg Little both gone by Pick #9)

*TRADE*

To Washington:

1st Round- 9th overall

 

To Buffalo:

1st Round- 16th overall

2019 2nd Round

2019 3rd Round

2020 1st Round Pick

 

(Washington is desperate for a QB with Alex Smith having a tough time post surgery. Guys like Bridgewater & Foles will have better opportunities. Washington decides to move up and select their guy after Haskins goes to the Giants, but so they can have their choice between Lock & Jones before Denver(10th), Cincinnati(11th) & Miami (13th).

 

 

*-Designates picks gained from Trade with Washington.

 

1- N’Keal Harry-WR-Ari St.

-I think he’s the perfect combo for Allen. He’s got a great catch radius, can really get to the high point, does a great job of getting YAC, and while he doesn’t have great speed, he’s able to get separation by having a very solid release from coverage near the line of scrimmage.

 

2- Michael Dieter-OL-Wisconsin

-This guy has Bill written all over him IMO. Similarly to Harrison Phillips, he’s smart, a senior, and high character guy. He’s also extremely versatile, having started multiple games at each position on the line at a great school for linemen. And not just T, G, or C, but he’s started at LT, LG, C, RG, RT. He can literally plug and play anywhere the team needs him.

 

2*- Irv Smith-TE-Alabama 

-Croom flashed, but Daboll wants depth at the right end position. Croom, combined with signing Kroft, and drafting Smith, who Daboll knows from his time at Alabama, is a guy who can stretch the field the field down the seam, and can be a do-it-all guy as opposed to a one trick pony.

 

3- Beau Benzschawel-OL-Wisconsin- Again another Wisconsin guy. I’m a fan. Maybe they play next to each other, and having done that in college gives them some chemistry bonus. But he’s another that has started at both guard and tackle for the Badgers. 

 

3*- Austin Bryant-DL- Clemson- The least heralded guy on the Tiger defensive line, he’ll slip because people will credit his production to being a part of that unit. He’ll be a solid NFL player with the possibility of becoming a mid-round hit.

 

4-Paris Campbell-WR-Ohio St. 

-His speed will help the offense and special teams overall. This also gives us a lot of depth at WR with Harry, Humphries, Conley, Foster, & McKenzie along with this young man. 

 

4- RB- LJ Scott-RB-Michigan St.- Big guy to eventually do what Ivory did for them this year. Daboll seems to like a thunder/lightning approach like they’ve often used at Alabama.

 

5- Khalil Hodge-LB- Buffalo- Maybe I’m way off that he slips this far, but we’re a small school and guys like him often do if they don’t really impress during the combine. I think our scouts have seen him enough to know he’ll be a solid NFL player. Tackling machine, can allow Milano to play his coverage game, and give the coaches more ability to rush Edmunds in passing situations.

 

5- Trayveon Williams-RB-Texas A&M- they might keep Shady this year, but I think they’ll make the necessary moves to see him leave at the end of next season.

 

6- Mark Fields-CB-Clemson- Add more young depth. Tre is a shutdown #1, Wallace & T. Johnson have shown well, and Ryan Lewis might be solid depth as well. Just add to the DB bank. Seems like you can never have enough of them anyways.

 

*Just going by position now, not specific names*

I'll be fine if he comes back at the right price.  I just don't think he's worth very much.  I think he's shot (figuratively .... so far).

whats the "right price", I think the right price is whatever his contract is because we arent hurting for money. We have more money than we will be able to use in this meager free agent market. 

 

Do I think Shady has seen his best days? Yes. Do I think he's worthless as a running back? No. Do I think hes a huge part of team chemistry? Yes. We have enough holes where I don't think its prudent to be creating even more by getting rid of a RB (even if its a third down back) and a leader. 

 

Are you saying that if he took a pay cut of "2 million" (insert whatever number) he would be worth bringing back? What are we in need of that "2 million" for?

People need to use the draft pick point chart as a guideline when proposing trade up or trade down proposals.  There was one the other day suggesting the Bills go from 9 to 13 and acquire an extra 2nd.  IMO...no way are you getting that much in return.  

 

Yes but according to the draft trade chart for the trade from 12 to 7 to get Allen, we gave up enough value to move from 12 to 1.

 

Trade charts are useful tools. Teams go beyond the draft chart in almost every trade up for a QB
