That's a ***** ton for a DT.

Not sure why Bills fans get all excited and then sad during the tampering period. People should know by now that Beane and McDermott don't let things leak. We'll find out about signings when things officially open.

Buckner gets dealt for the 13th overall and gets 21 mill a year and Hopkins gets traded for a washed up RB and a 2nd round pick?

 

What's wrong with that picture?

13th overall PLUS a $21M deal for Buckner? 

 

Colts must absolutely LOVE the player. 

 

...or Bill O'Brien is now consulting for them.

with Rivers too, sounds like the Colts are going for it this year and next.

Yep. At 13 I predict they are taking one. 

 

Dang it

That's not true... Last year the majority of our stuff was announced/leaked before the actual opening of FA. 

[MAJBobby]

Hmmmm Spitballing here....

 

No leaking about Reader....

 

Buckner Traded...  Maybe it is because DT DJ Reader has agreed to play somewhere else (say Bills) and no longer a UFA.

Kinda 0-sum though... Colts were probably likely to take a WR anyways.

For sure, I was just hopeful it took the #13 pick out of the WR conversation.

I dont like it but...

 

Niners have #13 and #31 and then no picks until the 5th round.

 

Bills trade for #13, #156 and give niners #22, #54, #86

 

Bills draft Jeudy at 13

I may be remembering wrong but we got a lot of the signings during the tampering period. Just looked up John brown signs with bills and there’s articles from the 11th and 12th of March and that’s during the tampering period last year.

 

 Morse, Beasley, brown, feliciano, and a few others were all reported to have agreed to terms. The teams didn’t officially announce them because they can’t until the league year starts but they definitely were reports of players signing

I honestly thought we'd have a deal early today. So I'm disappointed.

I fixed it for you.

 

I still don't like it though.

So many were reported that I was worried some players would back out and sign elsewhere 

[mjt328]

Yikes.  Some really bad trades going on today.

NFC West is cleaning up.  AFC South is on crack.

 

DeForest Buckner isn't anything special.  Indy very likely could have kept that pick and gotten Derrick Brown or Javon Kinlaw, and not given out a massive contract.

Just because its not being reported doesnt mean it isnt happening.  Deals can be final until Wednesday anyways.

[BillsFan4]

Wow, the colts must really like Buckner!

Depends if Raiders go WR at 12 and who they pick. I think they go Lamb at 12...

Yep. I kept joking around because all the reports were "intends" to sign with the Bills. Mitch Morse was one.

Things will happen I just felt we'd have a deal by now.

He'll be getting a lot of work though after Philip Rivers slings pick, after pick, after pick...good average value per play. Lots of volume coming his way. ?

There is your trade partner if you want to trade up.  As @ngbills mentioned earlier

I'd love to move up and grab Jeudy or Lamb.

 

I could also see the Niners stay put and grab a DB

The deals will be Bills sign CB Harris, LB Addison, RB Howard, WR Funchess

All very possible.

Boom!    That's the perfect spot to snag Lamb or Riggs...

I’d bet a hefty sum that we already have deal(s) in place.

I think that’s the right approach. Look at who’s left on the list with no word on a destination. Then.....who on that list is a fit? 

 

Because there is no word on Bills moves just tells me they run the tight ship I thought they did.

Gurley would be a good pickup for TB, who has a ton of cap room.
