RPbillsfan Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I was reviewing the Sportac website and looking at the teams number of players signed, available cap space and players who are possible releases do to cap issues. NE has 16 million in cap space, and needs to resign Flowers and get themselves a WR and TE. They can save 10 million by cutting Gronk (he's probably going to retire) and Dwayne Allen (7.2 Million cap savings),m. I think they cut Allen regardless, sign a TE like Jessie James of Pittsburgh or one of the Bengal TE's and draft someone like Hockenson, Fant or Irv Smith. The Vikings have only $5,000,000 in cap space and can save 7.2 million by cutting Kyle Rudolph. Here is my thought, if released sign both Rudolph (high priority), and Allen (reasonable contract), and cut Clay (save 4.5 million), sign James of Miami at RT, Think Carolina has enough cap space to resign Darryl Williams. KC dosent have cap space to retain Mitch Morse so let's sign him to play C. Hope to trade down with Washington to get 15 and 46. My Bills picks: 15 DJ Metcalf - WR 40 Chris Lindstrom - G 46 Jerry Tillery - DT Your thoughts 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat68 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I dont see Rudolph being cut. Just because they save money doesn't mean they will. As a run first mindset Zimmer would be against it. Rudolph is an above average blocker and a top 5 receiving TE. As a Bill's fan, I'm all for it. I think teams understand that casual football fans like offense and fantasy football. Getting quality premier players in their prime on offense will be extremely rare. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo86 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I say sign Maxx Williams & draft a TE in the middle rounds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they restructure Rudolph. Doesn't seem like he is going anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wppete Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I love the trade back and pick up an extra 2nd round pick. I would love to see this: #15 - JaWaan Taylor, OT - Florida #40 - Hakeem Butler, WR - Iowa St. #46 - Chris Lindstrom, G - Boston College #75 - Deebo Samuel, WR - South Carolina 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they go heavy in offense in the draft to establish a core. I think their is a core in place on defense. I wouldn t be surprised if the biggest name brought in during FA is on defense. That seems to be where the biggest bang for your buck lies. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transplantbillsfan Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 My thoughts are we could cut all our TEs and replace them with just about anyone and I wouldn't be upset. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJ Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Jerry Tillery looks like the antithesis of a process guy. I don't think Beane will touch him with a 10 foot pole.. OP's free agent signings would be OK. I think the best case scenario for the Bills in the first round is a trade down. If they've gotten their OT in free agency, Metcalf would be OK a little lower in the first round, or Risner, or a DT like Wilkins. If they don't get their tackle in free agency, Taylor would be a good get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills Oil Company Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 As much as Beane says we won't draft based on positional need, Free Agency will really start to narrow down what we draft in Rd 1 and 2 (should be starters from day 1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan in Cleveland Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 No upside for cutting Clay. Just keep him unless he retires. He is the best blocking TE on the team and probably can still catch 30 passes. There is no good FA worth the money. Use the cap space on OL and DL. Draft OLB, TE, WR top 3 picks.

Logic Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 (edited) It's not often that a team's needs align so perfectly with the strength of a coming draft. The Bills desperately need offensive linemen and tight ends, and this draft is rich in both. Call me crazy, but I'd like to see the Bills draft TWO tight ends this year. It can be reasonably argued that it's a bigger need than WR. At WR, we at least have Foster and Jones and, to a lesser extent, McKenzie. At tight end we have oft-injured Clay (who may be cut) and then a bunch of JAGs. On top of that, a quality TE is a young QB's best friend.

Not even close. I get the comparison but I think it’s woshful thinking. Misses the season due to a neck injury. I don’t think he should be our 1st pick. Love the takent though. Has some serious bust potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
