They’re fully loaded at tight end now. Also I don’t think this sets the market really. Baltimore values him quite high for the gimmick run offense they are going to run. He would not have seen that much in free agency. Jesse James might be close to the same number, but as others have said it’s all about the guarantees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgotBILLStopay Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Those numbers for Boyle make Clay's contract look so bad. Whaley really screwed us there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is asking for contributions from fans aside from ticket sales. This is a terrible argument. Everyone knows its not our money, however overpaying players affects the salary cap, which can restrict you from signing other players this year or in future years 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigK14094 Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Yes, the Bills success depends on how Beane spends the cap space available. And, of course, the scheme's put in place by McD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like James and Fant. James to do the all-around TE stuff (think Heath Miller), Fant to play a Gronk type role. Also pick up a speedy WR in FA. We'd then have a few speed guys, and a few underneath targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peace Frog Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Forget tight ends. Bring back the Run & Shoot! We'll have 4 WRs & 1 RB on the field at all times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then Hockenson with first pick. BPA after that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am all for drafting one of those TEs, I would also add Oliver to that list who reminds me of a young Jimmy Graham. In fact, I would still sign Jesse James, even over $6m. He is not only a big target but a very good pass and run blocker. Then draft Oliver whose strength is as a receiver and not as polished as a blocker yet. Those two would form a twin towers tandem that would be very difficult to defend and also boost our blocking with James. This way we can draft DL, WR, or OL with out first two picks and then nab Oliver in rounds 3 or 4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan in Cleveland Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 This is a good example of why our expectations for this off-season need to be tempered. There is so much cap room collectively. Teams can spend stupid money to get even marginal players. I would be ok with "overspending" or setting the market for Paradis. For other positions, they will have to try and find some value. Bringing back Miller on a reasonable contract could be an option. TE is going to have to be through the draft. They need to trade out of the #9 spot and get another day 2 pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still need more than 2 TE's. They will need to sign a couple more even if they dray a guy to pair with a Croom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad we don’t have 6 second round picks I have said the same thing from day 1. Use the money in FA to fix the online. College football doesn’t develop Olineman now and there are no skill position players in FA that I want. But the linen and draft the skill. I am not saying draft every pos of need. In the first 3 rounds I want us to draft a TE a WR and RB. We should be able to get top players at each of those positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hated that contract to begin with and in retrospect I was right to. Just because the Ravens overpay Boyle does not vindicate what Whaley gave Clay imo.
