BillsFan619 Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 I really like their choices because it seemed realistic to me. Sure, we like to dream that we can land the top and the best (and every once in a while it happens). That said, this list seems pretty realistic to me. The only thing that’s not realistic is that we can’t get all six of them. Who is on this list that you would want, if any? If there are a few or many that you’d want, tell us which ones you’d pick keeping in mind that we couldn’t have all of them because, you know, the cap. For example, if you’d want four of these players but realistically think we could only get two based off our cap, share the two that you’d pick to land here. https://amp.democratandchronicle.com/amp/6880686001 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TampaBillsJunkie Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 That's actually a good list. I'd take all 6 and not look back. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Boo Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Marlon Mack would be an underrated signing. He's like a 6' Devin Singletary. (That's not a bad thing) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LABILLBACKER Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Love the idea of Ogbah & Berrios. And if Beasley is gone, you can still try to sign McKenzie to a team friendly deal. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sierra Foothills Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 For those who can't get behind the paywall: 1) Ryan Fitzpatrick QB 2) Marlon Mack RB 3) Braxton Berrios WR 4) Austin Corbett G 5) Emmanuel Ogbah Edge 6) Charvarius Ward CB 12 1 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 This is probably the most realistic mock free agency that I've seen so far. However, this would still probably require cutting Feliciano and extending or restructuring Diggs' contract. I think this would cause us to go after an outside WR, CB, and TE early in the draft. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GETTOTHE50 Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 No to fitz bc of the curse. Don’t get marlon Mack tbh. I really don’t understand the berrios love. I think he sucks.

947 Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 No to Marlon Mack. If he goes on to have NFL success post-achilles tear, he'll be first RB to do it in NFL history.

BuffBillsForLife Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 The Fitz curse is real, sadly. Definitely give me Ogbah though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Brown Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 The curse thing is ridiculous (he was shirtless in the stands during the perfect game) and I'd love to have Fitz as a backup. Give me a gunslinger over a game manager any day of the week. Plus, you know he'd be great for Josh in the locker room. I have a feeling Beane is going to pull off a major trade for a DE or DT. I have no idea with who though. 5 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Ogbah would be a decent get, but it will cost and he's really nothing special. I'd rather keep Obada and sign someone like Al-Quadin Muhammad, who may both likely be had for what it would take to get Ogbah alone $$$ wise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreggTX Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Ogbah is pretty good. I don't care to see anyone else on that list on our roster unless they are a backup. I wouldn't mind having Fitz around -- even after he retires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBBills Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 How is Fitz even on the list? The Bills don't have enough money to pay for a vet QB let alone one that is horribly cursed. I hate when they throw names out there just for the sake of filling g up an article. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back2Buff Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 You need a back up QB that can run the same offense that Allen runs. That is a major reason why the didn't bring back Barkley and will not be signing Fitz.

Go big or go home at DE 6) Would be an excellent signing. If we are going to spend money on someone in FA he’d be an excellent choice. CBs that can play man are expensive though and his price tag might really get up there. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just not Corbett unless we are moving to a zone blocking scheme. He was a 2nd round bust in Cleveland because at the time they were mainly a gap scheme. They traded him to the Rams who zone blocked and he has been very solid for them. The irony is in the meantime the Browns switched to zone blocking but oh well. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would’ve said this was true in Allen’s first two years. He often waited to see the receiver come open before letting the ball go. These last two years he has absolutely been an anticipatory thrower. He throws well before receivers are out of their break and some of his INTs have come because he and the receiver weren’t on the same page (meaning Allen didn’t wait for the receiver to come open, he threw it to where he thought he would be). Not coincidentally, his production jumped when the anticipatory throws became more routine. I’m sure much of that had to do with his trust in Diggs.
