Fast forward to the calls for CMC and Barkley.

I don’t get the CMC hype. I just can’t imagine giving up assets for a $17M often injured RB. I just don’t see the value in that.

We’d only pay 8 & change. Panthers on the hook for the rest. That’s why they want a #1 in return.

Lol can we pay 8M for Barry Sanders too?  He is talented and on the field as much as CMC.  CMC and a first for our 5th?  Sure.

Looks like we'll have to wait a few more years before we can sign Ertz

CMC only has an $8m cap hit this year, so trading Beasley and his contract already clears way for most of that salary

Beane always has a backup plan.  If Horrible Harry doesn't sign, who is Beane going after?  Fletcher Cox would be ideal, but I just dont see how it can happen.  Frank Clark- too rich Im guessing.  Foley from Jets Im guessing

Barkley is a bell cow. You have to feed him carries to really get the most out of him. While he is better than CMC, I don’t think he gives you the same sort of flexibility. I would love to have him, but if you get him, you have to feed him. 

 

I agree that CMC is a better fit for us than Saquon and would love to have him in a Bills uni.

 

However, I would still prefer a premium run blocking (and pass blocking) guard and then just sticking with Singletary and hoping that Moss would also be a better RB with a better run blocking O-line. But I suspect that I would be in the minority.

I read in a local paper that Tim Settle of the Commanders might be a "break out" option.  the journalist felt he was buried on the depth chart but could shine given a chance.

Probably in the next tier, but Austin Corbett makes a lot of sense

We're now under 10 hours until the "Free Agency Frenzy" begins and Beane still hasn't freed up anything beyond getting us 1 million under the cap. Unless he makes some major moves today, I don't see us doing anything of substance in that first wave of "big splash moves". He's not the type of GM to go over the cap and count on cap saving moves until they happen.

 

Watching "The Free Agency Frenzy" about an hour ago on NFL Network, they talked about the Bills and said they're smartly run and have used their cap to build a solid core and that they expect them to secure value FA's later on and finish the roster off in the Draft.

No idea if we’ll make a big splash, but nobody is signing anything official these next few days. Buffalo can reach an agreement to acquire some player with a big cap hit and then free up the room to fit the contract after the fact.

I’d go Eddie Goldman, Akiem Hicks, or Jarran Reed as run stoppers. I also like Taven Bryan, but he’d be a rotational  piece similar in style to Ed Oliver.

I was banging my fist on the table for reed in that draft

Shouldn’t break the bank and he could be a monster in this offense.

Giant fans would be laughing at the Bills for signing Engram.

 

And Giant fans aren't in a position to be laughing at anyone. But they would if the Bills sign Engram.

I am as well. Maybe just a change of scenery with a bit of Josh sprinkled in could be a game changer.  For the right price I’m on board with this

Yeah his information has been good before. I think he works in the Bills training facility.

If that’s the case and he’s tweeting information he would of been fired a long time ago.  I doubt he works for the organization in any capacity.  

[MrEpsYtown]

With the McKenzie signing, an Engram signing actually makes more sense. It could be like a slot job share between the two. Engram can play outside too. Is McKenzie at 4 mil plus Engram at 9 million better than Kirk at 15? I don’t know. But I like Engram, who like McKenzie ran a 4.42 at 6-3, 240. I really have no problem adding him, but I would be upset if it keeps us from signing Knox long term.

Engram would be absolutely amazing here.  Talent to spare.

I don’t see any way Knox is not a long term Bill. 
 

Engram would basically give us a TE2/Slot to pair with McKenzie as Gadget/Slot.  
 

Dorsey could have a lot fun with a TE2 in 12 personnel who can line up in-line, then flex to the slot, with a slot who can flex to the backfield.

$4M for a 178 yard receiver McKenzie and $9M for a 400 yard receiver Engram.............yeah Buffalo would be getting bargains because of Josh Allen. 

[bubba2018]

Yup, let’s have 2 TE’s that consistently drop the ball, brilliant.

McKenzie isn't actually costing us $4 million this year. Let's what the real numbers look like before jumping to conclusions.

the dudes talent is undeniable. im not saying we can fix it, but we have a better coaching staff than we ever have before... if we think a change of scenery and a diff coaching staff can fix him, than i trust the process. knox came a long way last year... and hes come a long way since draft (where he had 0 td catches in college).

 

if we pass im cool with it, and if we sign him ill be cautiously optimistic we think we can tailor a game plan for him, and coach him up

Did you watch Knox take a huge step last season or no?

[babulator]

Am I missing something? What does Engram bring that Knox does not?

 

I've been critical of Rambo in the past, but didn't he have a good season? I  feel like this money better is spent elsewhere.

I’ve seen him play a bunch for the Giants. He’d be a nice TE2 in OP. 💪

McKenzie only played about 20-30% of the offensive plays (that’ll go way up this year) and you’re ignoring his end arounds. Engram had Jake Fromm passing to him on the times and really low end qbs otherwise. Also I don’t think he gets anywhere near $9m a year
