Logic Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I realize that not all of the Bills' signings have been marquee guys. Nevertheless, we're on day two of the tampering period and they've already signed quite a few helpful players. And none of them are super overpaid, either (at least not more than the usual free agency slight over-valuation). There aren't any deals in there that make your jaw drop. So enough with the "Wah, no one wants to come to Buffalo!" narrative. As always, money talks and B.S. walks. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haze_21 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Quote [Klemko] NFL players’ Top 5 free agency destinations, according to their agents: 1. Dallas 2. Seattle 3. Miami 4. L.A. Rams 5. Atlanta Bottom 5: 1. Buffalo 2. Oakland* 3. Cincinnati 4. Detroit 5. Cleveland *Vegas move will change things, respondents said. We can but we have to overpay a bit. City and franchise history matter but cash talks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgil Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I have to say it’s nice that they are all offensive players. Beane is true to his word and our BPA flexibility in the draft keeps getting better 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glazeduck Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 While I think that narrative is a bit overblown, I also think its fair to look at the franchise's history with marquee FAs and recognize that they're really only ever landed one. Today and yesterday have been exciting, but I don't see any of these guys -- perhaps with the exception of Morse (who still has injury questions) as any different from past years. I think the easy way to look at it is -- what would the LA Rams, Dallas Cowboys, Chicago Bears, etc. have offered guys like Brown or Beasley -- I think the clear answer is less. So while this season has perhaps been moving the needle in the right direction, I don't think that narrative is completely false, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
