Breaking: Daryl Williams signs 3 year extension

Personally I think it's easier to find a starting guard at 30 than finding a starting EDGE rusher. So I would vote to let Feliciano go,, cut Addison, restructure Hughes + Star. Use Kumerow/Duke/Stills as your replacement for Brown on the roster (Gabe Davis is your #2). Use that 10M in cap savings to find a F/A EDGE, draft a starting guard, a DE/3T tweener, a slot corner, a speedy WR, and a TE.

 

Unfortunately TE is likely going to go unanswered this offseason. Think EDGE is more pressing.

 

You could actually snag Friermuth at 30, trade up into the 2nd round and grab a starting RG there.


 

I don’t think you are getting your wish with the report that Addison also restructured- ala Morse and Butler.  I think they are setting the table for Mongo coming back and maybe McKittrick.

 

That frees them up to go BPA in the draft and see what other nuggets you can find in the bargain bin looking to join a winner.

Scratch all those mocks that have us taking an OT with our first pick!

Thank god! I know o linemen are superior important but there is no bigger buzzkill than drafting one in the 1st round.

 

and very good contract. What’s the updated cap number?

Wow Brandon Beane is a magician. Now if he finds and edge rusher and makes it all work under the cap he has moved beyond magician.


YUP.  Edge rusher is really the only major piece missing.  
 

If they sign Feliciano, I’ll be shocked.   I’d imagine they want to get a dominant run blocker in the Draft at G to pair with what Cody Ford (hopefully) will be.   That keeps our pass pro mainstays in tact with Dawkins, Williams and Morse and would give us the ability to hit runs off guard.

They still need to replace Jefferson, but perhaps that's just going to naturally filled by Justin Zimmer. Not sure I'd be ok rolling with the edge rushers they had last season + a hopefully well improved AJE.

 

Though perhaps I'm being a bit dramatic. Chiefs have to significantly improve their OLine, or they may not even be in a position to get to the AFC Championship. They rode their two tackles, and we saw what they had behind them - not much.

 

If the Bills can add a TE as a weapon, a run blocking guard, and get AJE to be a top 30% EDGE Rusher, that might be enough to push the Bills past everyone else in the AFC.

Depending on what happens at guard, we might still be drafting a O-linemen with our first.

You know working from home he is definitely wearing that right now. The tree may or may not still be up. If so, its either a St. Patrick's Day Tree or the Beane Family "can't even right now." :)

I could sworn people were saying Matt Milano made this impossible yesterday. 🙄

I was one of them, I admit it. :bag:

 

This is incredible. Beane is the man or wizard or Night King, whatever you want call him. I'm just glad he's ours. :)

 

What a deal too, both Williams & Milano are staying put. This is excellent news, and free agency hasn't started. B-)

 

This is still only the beginning. GO BILLS!!! :thumbsup:

Any idea how much cap we have left?

 

$5mm -$7mm for the draft contracts as well right? 

No we dont need that much.  The sum of their salaries might make it look like that but in practice its much less.  In the offseason your top 51 contracts count against the cap.  So when you sign a draft pick you are displacing one of those top 51 and the cap hit is the difference between their contracts.  With first round picks this is a actually a material amount of money (like $1 mil or so) but for the later picks its not nearly as much.  I think we need 2-3 mIl for draft picks (that might even be high)

This is what happens when culture creates loyalty.

 

It happens in all businesses. 

 

When the culture is good, good boss, good management...  employees want to stay even if they get less now know that there is value in other aspects rather than monetary.

 

Beane and McDermott and credit to the Pegulas, have built a culture that is making it easier for players to want to stay.

 

Edit..  And let me add and this is big, they went to the AFC Championship last year lol

We are paying these guys market value or above. Glad to have them back but we are not doing it on the cheap. If these guys signed elsewhere on these contracts I bet most would be saying "Beane would not pay that kind of money". So I have mixed feelings on the signings. Now we need good value at other positions bc our value RT just got paid.  Happy they are back but was hoping for upgrades on the edge and at TE.
