May be the Bills thought the NFL postponed free agency due to the coronavirus. 

Nah, it’s just the legal tampering period right now. Not actual free agency. Bills leaks have been few and far between since Beane took over.

LOL so much for "going all out" this offseason 

 

Is the Bills front office still quarantined? this was supposed to be the most important offseason for this franchise in 3+ decades everyone is sleeping.

Yeah they didn’t sign an FA last year....

[John from Riverside]

I think Beane just doesnt think the 2nd tier FA's are not such a downgrade as the 1st Tier FA's........and when it is all said and done we will have filled every needed spot heading into the draft.....

 

Lets just see

2nd tier FA's were fine last offseason. you can't fill your whole team with 2nd rate guys, that's how we ended up with a bottom 3 ranked pass offense last year and couldn't score more than 2 TD's per game. 

 

This team is dying for playmakers and we keep settling for practice squad talent

I really have a feeling that by the end of this, the Bills end up with Clowney and Diggs

So 2nd tier free agents are now practice squad level?

With them not signing Shaq, I think you're right.  I think they'll be in on Clowney.

Its just that the 1st tier is so big.

if bigger market teams are interested we won't get any of those players unless we massively over pay 

 

our only chance at top talent was growing some balls and trading away draft picks like the Cardinals did

the team has a practically full roster.....you dont just change players and call it a upgrade especially when your coming off a 10 and 6 season......who do you want to upgrade?

Overpaid  for Jimmy but it should help whichever  QB the Bears add this offseason

You’re right.  Mitch Morse chose the Jets over us last year...unless you think Buffalo is a bigger market than NYC.

[Kirby Jackson]

Normally at this point of free agency I’m like “man I can’t believe the Bills didn’t sign ____ for _____!!” Honestly the only thing today I would’ve done is that Nuk trade.

[Tesla03]

Beane and McD don't overpay for players. In the past the only way we attracted top FA talent is if we overpaid. 

 

which is why we needed to be proactive this offseason and strike for a big trade. It could still happen but IMO Beane values his draft picks far too much and it will end up costing him in the long term. 

 

If we field another mediocre offense next year questions need to be asked.

Yes because teams who trade away top picks for the right to pay someone big money have so much success.

Hover over their profile and select 'Ignore user' I think.

Why do I get the feeling that Beane is Lewis right now....He has the crop report...

Indeed. Graham is absolutely washed. Bad contract for Da Bears.

Man, I haven't seen this much whining since the last time I have been to a vineyard.

They actually were all in on the C from Denver. Who went elsewhere.

You're ready to close the book on the offseason literally before it’s even begun.

I wish I had time but too late now to gather all that. Though if someone wants to put together all the signings as of now I will copy and paste into the OP and take it from there 

 

Totally understand.    Mind sticking the link provided by ColoadoBills in the OP?
