Take the Covid19 discussion to one of the several appropriate threads dedicated to it.

I'm about to spend some time I could put to better use cleaning up the thread.

If you can't restrain yourself I will restrain you.

Apologies, meant nothing by that.  Teams do leak.  Some teams leaked yesterday (49ers).  It used to happen at OBD, too.   Info gets out and whatnot.  What I meant to say was OBD is really locked up these days.  I totally agree a lot is agent-driven.  These just don’t strike me as that.  

They are definitely agent driven. Like all from the same agent. This guy has tons of tweets about players and who they are “talking” to. Like one player talking to three different teams. He wouldn’t be able to get that info from the teams.

Sounds like Brady is going to either Tampa Bay or the LA Chargers.

 

I'm WAY more interested to see what New England does at Quarterback.  What options to they have available right now?

- They pick #23, and then not again until the 3rd Round.

- Dak Prescott was franchised.  Ryan Tannehill was re-signed.  Drew Brees is apparently working on an extension.

- All word says Phillip River to Indianapolis, but it's not been officially announced yet.  

- Even Marcus Mariota and Case Keenum have been snatched up.

 

At this point, their best bet would probably be Jameis Winston or Teddy Bridgewater...

So basically the QBS who are left for Patriots are:

 

Teddy

Winston

 

Dalton or Rosen to trade for I guess

Genuinely had to look him up. 

 

Looks like solid special teams guy and some depth at LB. 

 

Edmunds, Milano, Klein and T Matekevich your game day LB

OK back and refreshed for day 2.  Not sure if it will be as eventful.  But the early returns and still have around 60M to spend

 

Diggs, 

Addison

Klein 

Waddle - retained.

 

Add to Norman and Spain earlier and yeah happy so far.

 

Yeah agreed, good first day despite a lot of panic from some on here. Beane waited out the usual Day 1 frenzied overpays and made some smart buys. 

 

What would be your ideal Day 2? 

 

I think for me, getting either Reader OR Harris Jr.  plus Breida OR Howard would be a dream. Also an edge like Quinn on reasonable terms if possible.  Good luck to all and Go Bills!

Like the idea of boosting our special teams but 4.5 million a year seems a little high for a player that has not played hardly at all on the defensive side of the ball.

 

It's 'up to' $9M, so it might be quite a bit lower.

A few dollars higher than Slater, because he’ll be our ST captain and an off-the-bench LB.  really sound deal.

Totally fair!  But  I don’t think these are much more than speculation. That’s all I was trying to say in my original comment.  No doubt D-Bil enjoys this, but I think a few of these have nothing to do with the player’s agent.  ?

With his latest re-structure

 

New name linked to Bills

 

 

 

 

That would give us a LOT of interior linemen, no? 

 

T - Dawkins, Waddle, Nsekhe, Ford

C - Morse

iOL - Spain, Feliciano, Long, Boettger, Van Roten, Bates

A lot of players to get flipped for picks in 2021 before cuts.  Don't forget Bates

Interested to see terms... I was wondering if he might find a softer market than expected, but its possible the bills just weren’t wanting him back.

Seeing that they are supposedly targeting Reader, they want a different level of run D effectiveness from this position if they are going to pay a guy

Yes it does. but remember, you are allowed to dress 48 on game day now, as long as you dress a minimum of 8 OL. And with position flex guys like Long, Feliciano, Ford, injuries to our line are gonna be easily handled and still put forth a good product
