Chandler Jones, Jordan Davis, DK Metcalfe, maybe Gronk

These are the moves that need to be made to have a shot at the championship. 

 

All doable. Certainly a fantasy but hear me out. 

 

Send a 2023 first round pick to Seahawks for DK Metcalfe

 

Sign Chandler Jones

 

Give up as many picks as it takes to move up for Davis this year. Then find picks and trade up again to get a top CB. Who cares if we only draft two guys. 

 

Then we let Phillips walk, Levi walk, Beasley, Mckenzie, Feliciano, Starr all gone. 

 

Restructure Diggs and extend, restructure Tre and extend, extend and lower cap hit for Edmunds, extend Morse, extend Oliver with a lower cap hit for next season. 

 

We would have almost no holes and might even be able to sign Gronk.

First time noticing you, welcome to the board.
 

If you think that we have no chance to win the super bowl unless we do all of these things, you’ve earned a spot on my ignore list and should rethink being a football fan, let alone a bills fan.  Nice knowing you

Here me out, it is all doable. 

 

First I ask my girlfriend for a threesome. 

Then I follow Jennifer Lawrence on instagram. 

After that, I do what it takes to get Scarlett Johansen involved. 

When this all goes down, I make sure that I package all of my assets to make sure that all of this happens on DiCaprio's mega yacht.....

Seattle will get a better offer for DK.  Next years first had a value of this years second.  Someone will offer better than that for DK whose still on a rookie deal.  
 

So your plan is dead in the water right there.

We were the best team in the league last year and should have won the Superbowl if it weren't for coaching errors. 

 

We are the Superbowl favorites... literally...right now....

 

No, we don't need to add Jones, Metcalf and Gronk to have a chance. 

 

This place is becoming unbearable.

Don't need them to win one. But I think they would help alot! How can anyone argue we don't need a player that will sack the QB? And how can more targets for Josh hurt?

2022 is his last. Nobody is giving a first straight up without a contingency for an extension.

Who said no chance? I said to have a shot. 

 

We are in win now mode. If I told you all the moves that the Rams would make before last year you wouldn't have believed that either. Nothing in that post is out of the question. 

 

We might be the top FA destination in the NFL. Josh is the best player in the league. 

 

DK might be a fantasy but the rest of that post is do-able. 

 

Jones is a FA, Gronk is a FA, and we move up in the draft to get Davis (again might be hard to do but still do-able).

 

The Bills were arguably the best team in the league last year and are certainly contenders, but the AFC is STACKED next year. 

 

Why be conservative for 4 years just to be conservative forever. We have very few holes to fill so we can afford to go all in on a few guys.

No, but he is on the final year of his deal and I doubt he wants to re-sign without a top tier QB. Seahawks can trade him now and get value, or lose him after next season for nothing.

Indeed... although other than the way he started it off, a lot of it is not that crazy... maybe the Metcalf parts. And I guess the trade up in draft, but as much  I know many people would scoff at moving way up in the draft for a non-QB, if Davis is as advertised he could really be the key to unlock the elite defense in this team, even benefitting the play of Edmunds, Oliver, and maybe Milano.

What makes you think the Seahawks would accept a 2023 1st which is treated as a 2nd for compensation purposes? That's crazy talk.

 

Maybe that type of bullcrap works in Madden but it damn sure isn't working in the real world.

 

People need to get it through their head that Madden is exceptionally unrealistic in many ways and stop going to their franchise modes to see what type of trades they could pull off and then parrot them on the board as realistic. It's not. Not even close.

Here is my biggest problem with your post. You speak in ambiguities. Like we are quibbling between the difference in understanding between "to have a shot" and "no chance". 

What you didn't lay out is how we get it done, and what the cost is. 

Where do we get the money from Chandler Jones and Gronk? What players do we flat out cut to make room? Who do we restructure, and what casualties are you willing to take from the 2023 roster? 

Buffalo is estimated at $40M under the cap next season, We will end up eating some of that just to get through the 2022 draft. Think about that. Just to be allowed to sign rookies, we have to cut, restructure, and borrow against next years money. 

So when you say trade a 1st for DK, I assume you mean an extension as well. The market was just reset today at $20M AAV. Just to make that move alone, and get through the draft, the Bills are down to $15M for 2023.

 

To grab Jones and Gronk we will drop drop current players, and borrow against next years money. Which means we most likely don't re-sign a combination of Knox, Singletary, Oliver, Poyer, Jackson. Dane Jackson is actually a big one because in your scenario we most certainly cannot afford Wallace. Which is fine, but we cannot cut bait with all of our DB depth. Especially if there is a good chance we walk from Poyer. Which again, in your situation, becomes a likely casualty. 

 

Interesting you are big on this when you are so pro Edmunds sticking around because we couldn't afford.

I agree, lets open up a massive hole right in the middle of our defense. Just because Edmunds plays a different style (likely one that Frazier and McD like) doesnt make him a bad player. 

 

We need a true run stopping one tech- we haven't had one for the last few years. Plug someone in the middle that can actually stop the run and watch how dominant Edmunds becomes. 

I dont think anyone on this board knows ( I certainly dont) what is being asked of Edmunds in this defense. Is he supposed to be a guy that plays downhill, is he supposed to just clog up passing lanes because he is so big and athletic, is he struggling because we dont really have a true run stopping defensive line? 

 

I suspect our coaches know the answers to all of these questions. I would not be shocked if Edmunds is extended.
