He can cause a lot of damage with limited touches AND he's a top notch returner. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it appears he signed a 1-year $16.5M deal, which I missed. And the Chefs are currently almost $8M over the cap. 42 minutes ago, NewEra said: Yeah…..which is why last this and this year are different and not really situations to compare Yeah, which is why "making a splash to distract from the stadium" doesn't wash.

Amari Cooper and Zadarius Smith haven’t been released yet I don’t think Just to be clear here, the "Thinking must be an already released FA" seems to be Thad Brown's addition. The MMQB blurb says this: Quote • The Bills—of Buffalo—are becoming a bit of a destination for veteran free agents. I’m told at least one big-name veteran reached out to the Bills (it’s usually the other way around) to show his interest in them and set up a meeting for his agent at the combine last week. So if the finances work out, it wouldn’t surprise me to see someone like that signed by the Bills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re saying that Pegula telling Beane we should make a splash due to the fans/stadium doesn’t have any legs because we went after a splashy move with Watt last year? Agree to disagree.

There isn't one of those that fit the bill. I think he's operating by what's "by the books". Which is stupid. Everyone knows that while it's technically not the "legal" tampering period, The Combine has always been the place where agents of FA's talk with teams and there's never any "tampering" claims filed over it because EVERYONE does it there.

Buddo Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Definitely doesn't explicitly say already released 'big name'. If I was to speculate in general terms, I'd be inclined towards the offensive side of things, likely a TE, WR, RB, or more vaguely possible, O-Line. The Bills generally, are an attractive destination for someone who wants a shot at a ring. Having said that, I think it should be pretty obvious that the biggest attraction, would be catching pigskins from #17. If you want a guess as to who could be a likely candidate to 'reach out', who is currently a FA, then Rudolph springs to mind - although I don't consider him to be a 'big name', but I'm not the one making the claim.
