Show me where I said him being worth any contract value 13M, 100M, 1M  or otherwise.  What I said was:

 

1.  The decision on Edmunds 5th year had to be made last year.  Is that true?

2. The Bills had no true insight or control over Jones 2022 FA status a year ago.  Is that true?

3.  Based on the above, any lack of money available to sign Jones has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with Edmunds other than people’s seeming desire to blame everything under the sun on Edmunds.  
 

Your statement about the Bills inability to sign Jones due to Edmunds is completely absurd, no matter what you think about the ability of either player.  There is no connection whatsoever.  You might as well equate it to rising gas prices.  It is simply dumb.  I pointed that out and you brought up whether or not he is worth 13M…..which is an entirely separate discussion as to whether we can afford Jones.  Maybe you should work on your own processing speed before ragging on Edmunds’.
 

 

 

 

Lol…..all I said was that you cried.  
 

The remark wasn’t even about you.  It was a general blanket statement.  I know nothing about your thoughts regarding edmunds.  I saw your comment as a little annoying fly, I didn’t even know who I was quoting. Sorry you get so upset

hard pass at engram at 9 mill guaranteed 

Word.  ✌️ Glad we never got to know ya. Might have been a nice rac/field stretcher but I’m glad we won’t get to see him try and catch 17s lasers

No but they keep getting comp picks for being cheap

You don't believe they just added two top defensive players this offseason?


Whose the second?  The 32 year old DE with injury issues that hasn’t had a double digit sack season since 2018?  
 

Names do not equal “top defensive player”.   Is JJ Watt a “top defensive player” still too?  Because he’s a free agent and was once the best defensive player in the league.  

 

Chargers whole defense was bad, all 3 levels, so one top 5 corner and an oft injured 32 year old DE isn’t going to turn them into the 85 Bears.  
 

And this is a team that didn’t make the playoffs last year after losing to the weak Raiders to get in.  Now they have to contend with Wilson and the Broncos too on top of Mahomes and the Chiefs.  
 

Odds are they won’t even win their division still.

I'm struggling to think of any big time FA the Jags have signed over the last decade that didn't turn out to be a huge disappointment (Calais Campbell aside).

 

It's a 1 year vacation destination where players go for the weather and guaranteed money and then stop caring about football. 

I am not sure Engram can catch Josh Allen's fastballs anyway

Pretty much ready to nuke NE and Jacksonville😠

The Browns kinda started it a couple years ago throwing the $$$ at Hooper. Now they're about to throw big $$$ at Njoku as well.

Meh, not worth the $$$ from us. We need to worry about paying Knox, draft a #2 TE, and sign comp for Sweeney in FA. 

I wonder if the Bills would draft Jeremy Ruckert … hybrid TE/WR who can block. Thought they might go for a vet but it’s an option

Maybe they believe it is cheaper to have 2 for which neither will get a back breaker contract than one which cannot get you Superbowl win but costs $40 million a year.

The big question is: Do they bother to put an OL in front of them this year?

I like him and I like the kid from Iowa St., Kolar, as well. Kolar can flex out and play in line too. The kid from Virginia is intriguing as well with off the charts athleticism, Jelani Woods.

Knox is going to cost a fortune. 

 

 

Then they should draft and develop a replacement.........the guy put up 49 catches for 587 yards receiving last season.........that's almost exactly what Charles Clay produced in each of his first 3 seasons with the Bills.     Nice players but not irreplaceable.

If the talk is that the pats locker room is too up tight still like previous seasons, the way judon is interacting on twitter is actually a really good recruiting tactic because its making it out to be more laid back and player friendly 

Well just as long as he doesn't make them sound desperate.

I wonder why you left off his TDs in those stats you parroted.

So every player rumored to Buffalo so far has signed elsewhere. This was expected with the Cap and teams overpaying. 

So every player rumored by reputable places, or every player mentioned at some point in one of these threads??

Woods is so tempting.

 

whoever we get as TE2….if they can’t block a lick, I’ll be pissed.

The same reason I didn't mention that Clay put up those numbers with mediocre passer Tyrod Taylor as his QB.

 

Context.

 

Allen is cash money in the red zone..........he is the rising tide that raises all ships inside the 20.

I agree and the organization basically saying we have to win right now without even making the playoffs yet with Herbert puts a lot of pressure on the coaches and players.  A few injuries here (its the Chargers) and a bad loss or 2 things could spiral.  

 

They're a playoff team no doubt.  But they haven't won anything so I can't put them in the top 3 of the AFC right now maybe top 5 but I'd rank the AFC:

 

Buffalo

KC

Cincinnati 

Baltimore 

Titans/Denver/Chargers

I REALLY want Jelani Woods. May need to trade up into the 3rd, using some of our late-rounders, to nab him, though. He seems to slot between our 2nd and 3rd picks, in a LOT of the mocks I've run.

Oooo god NOOOOOOO

 

 

One of the ONLY chances I would not watch Bills football next year is if it involved me seeing cam Newton bounce passes 5 yards in front of a wide open Diggs. Or had to see him slam into Saffolds back on goal line runs 3 times in a row. Beane is surely just driving up the price tag for his buddy Schoen or something.

I'm not worried about the Bills on that side of the ball.

Chargers are winning the offseason and that defence has play makers on all levels,  Bills have few if any players on defence  AFC is going to real tough to make it to Super Bowl.  Those 13 secs are starting to get me pissed off again

Looks like they're vying to hijack the Browns 2021 off season hype train!

with the Money Ogbah got obviously the bills were going to go to some point so look at some money being spent somewhere. 

 

 

I've never cared that much for Ogbah.........he's not the 1-on-1 pass rusher that Chandler Jones is.

 

They may not get Jones.......but they likely dodged a bullet if they were thinking about paying Ogbah near that much.

He was my #1 hope for backup here. But it makes sense for him. Like you said, Tua's proven he's made of glass - so you've got a good shot to at least play some games.

I’m still hoping for Ryan Fitzpatrick 😂 (seriously though, I am)

I don’t like him much either. But shows that they are willing to go into those top tier rushers money level this offseason even after drafting 2 and being cap strapped.
