Bean has been in the camp of cutting lose a player right before they hit their big slide right?

 

But....you know Murphy is gone...I dont know if they want to do this with TWO starting DE's in one year.

Addison will also be gone. There's no way they're gong to hold on to him with a $10M cap hit

[Utah John]

Jerry Hughes has been held so often he has dents in his neck from offensive guard arms.  The refs have hated him and they never called offensive holding penalties when Hughes was the victim.  This year there's been a huge dropoff in holding penalties, for no good reason I can see, so now everyone has to play with the Hughes Handicap.

 

I'd keep Hughes.  He still plays at a high level.  Of all the D line players, he is NOT the problem.  We just need a one-tech D tackle who weighs at least 310 pounds.

I would never consider letting any player go unless I have a better player signed and currently on the roster.

So far, we don't have one

I really feel that this is where our 1st round pick is going

 

AJE will see increased playing time in year 2

That's actually tough to say at this point. 

 

There's no glaring need on D. Even if you cut Addison, you AJE, Jerry Hughes as starters, and I think you need to add depth and perhaps a pass rush specialist - not necessarily worth a first round pick. You could get that with Melvin Ingram on an affordable contract. 

 

Star is coming back, and his contract makes him unmovable. So he'll be your 3T

 

You're gonna roll with Milano and Edmunds as you backers, the safeties is set, and I kinda love Dane Jackson to win and exceed at the #2 CB, bumping Levi to the slot.  That might be a spot you could use draft capital on, but you'd rather do that in the 2nd round or 3rd round. 

 

At the 3T I love the rotation of Oliver and Jefferson, while a backup 1T is needed. 

 

If the Bills pick around 25, I think they're going to look hard at offense. To me you have 3 pretty glaring needs:

 

1) Right Tackle. I just assume Daryl Williams is going to get a big contract, and that's not going to be at Buffalo, or if it is he'll have to agree to a backloaded deal. I sort of benchmark his at Morgan Moses, and he's gonna average a Cap Hit of 10M, and arguably Feliciano is a bigger need, as Allen has shown he doesn't need elite protection to be super effective. 

 

2) RB. Just glaringly obvious that neither Singletary nor Moss are IT. 

 

3) TE.  This is even more obvious than RB. 

Bills are really stuck with a good but not great Defense. To get to that next level they need an elite edge rusher, and there's just not a viable option available through draft or F/A (and we're not gonna count overspending on JJ Watt as an option)

I still think the bills will find a way to keep their OL intact......pass rush is a issue for this team and continues to be

[Ethan in Cleveland]

He is under contract for 2021.  I would actually be fine if they extended him again into 2022 to lower the cap hit for next year.  He's been the best player on the DL all year.  They will need to replace Murphy, Addison, Butler, and maybe Star.  Epenesa and Johnson may fill some of those snaps but they will add at least 3 front 7 defenders in the draft and probably one or two in the free agency.  

What they do with Williams at RT may dictate quite a bit how they approach the draft, if they have a hole at RT

Well.. we’re in cap trouble my friend.. I think Epenesa and Johnson will be solid players for us if given the opportunity.. I also value our OL more so than I do our DL.. Our defense has vastly underperformed and that’s largely to our DL.. Entire defense needs to be reshuffled..

 

Where & how do you think the Bills are in cap trouble ? Since Beane has been here the team has been in the best cap shape they have been in for years from what has been written which i tend to believe .

 

Beane & company dumped all the Dareus type contracts and have been very active in keeping the deals made very team friendly so how do you figure they are in cap trouble ? 

 

Inquiring minds want to know !! 😆

Not sure I am following your reasons for cutting him. 

We need to add a dominating DE. Will Epenesa grow up to be one ? Not sure yet and before next season, we should add another draft/FA.

 

But, I want Hughes to retire a Bill. Fantastic trade that got him here. 

 

I didn't say to cut him i was asking do we pull a Bellichek and trade him while he still is playing at a productive level or keep him which is what i would prefer !!

The cap is lowering in 2021 because of lost revenue.. You should expect the Bills to dump salary next offseason... think we’re over the cap by quite a bit..
