Back2Buff Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 It's not even close, Mike Gesicki. Replacing Beasley with Gesicki would propel this offense. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarleyNY Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Von Miller. It might be a stretch to get him and it is unlikely because I know he prefers to be in LA and will probably remain there. But he is an Edge that can get to the QB in big games when the refs swallow their whistles - and we need that. I like Hughes, but Miller would be a big upgrade. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replacing Beasley with Gesicki would propel this offense. This is an interesting name. I think Gesicki would check a few boxes. First he could be a flex slot option. While his blocking isn’t great, I think he could do a decent job against DB’s, taking the Kumerow spot. Then he is good insurance for TE. Lastly, with the reports that Dorsey has used 2 TE’s a good bit in his past, this might in name only, accomplish that. It would provide a nice wrinkly to the offense without trying to reinvent the whole system.

dpberr Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 I think James Washington is one of those buy lower, high production FAs. Generally, no free agents over the age of 30, unless the plan is to play them lightly through the first 8-9 games. You're paying them for playoff performance at that age. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maynard Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 I wouldn’t mind stealing Emmanuel Ogbah from the Phins. Productive and just reaching his prime. I’m guessing 10-12 million a year?

The Jokeman Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Mo Alie-Cox, he's a a half way decent blocker and has some height at 6'5" that could help us in the red zone and serve as a good #2 TE which we really lack. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dont Stop Billeiving Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 A name I haven't seen listed yet...CB Donte Jackson. In his prime at 26 years old, played for Buffalo South (Carolina Panthers), and ran a 4.32 40 time pre-draft. Brings the top end speed, athleticism, and play-making ability that we have lacked in an otherwise very good secondary. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replacing Beasley with Gesicki would propel this offense. I actually agree here. Gesecki is not a great blocker, but just sheer size is an advantage over Beasley and he basically plays the same position. He’s just a WR that lines up funny sometimes. Beasley is no threat to take it to the house, so it’s not like you are losing that element. I’d like to see him out there to create mismatches. He could make it very tough to defend if you run 2TEs out there that are both receiving threats and at least big enough to get in the way of DEs. Tendencies would probably be running away from him, but then you play that, play action and throw it back to him, make the D have to think, that split second is all it takes to make plays work. I’m not sure it’s the absolute best pick, but adding him would be a nice pick up. I could argue for more speed, bigger WR, Pass rusher, etc, but play to your strength and add more weapons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maine-iac Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 If Olivier Vernon was back healthy and wanted to play at a reasonable price it might be worth kicking the tires. As much as Hughes and Addison were veterans who knew how to rush a passer they are both horrible against the run and mediocre at best at actually getting to the QB. Vernon if healthy can set an edge and collapse a pocket along with getting to the QB. Akeem Hicks can still play if the price is right. There are several guards who may become free agents who would improve the talent level here as well. Daniels, Glowinski, Kappa, or Tomlinson would seemingly be good additions but cost could definitely be a factor. Johnson from the Browns might also be a good pick up to compete with Moss for a rb spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, we don't have a ton of cap room so we need to smart about who it is. For me, I'd love to see us go after and sign Jerrick McKinnon. I think a speed back that presents the threat to catch out of the backfield will morph our offense. McKinnon can be our James White that the Patriots had for years. When teams wanted to sit back and protect against Gronk, Moss, etc.... White was the guy for a while (although they had Dion Lewis, etc). I think he's a realistic add that would be worth a look. I'll take him over McCaffrey. 18 hours ago, Desert Bills Fan said: I like the James Conner RB idea. He has good receiving skills too.

dje85 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Gronk.. not only because it would be a great fit and let us run a monster of a two te set at the goal line and during short down situations it would also piss off half of Bills mafia until he scored his first td and everyone would be all I loved him all along how dare you haters.. blah blah blah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solomon Grundy Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Chandler Jones would, IMO, solidify the defense. Adding Calais Campbell would be the cherry on top.
