Matt Haack, Shaq Lawson, Tyler Matekich, Zack Moss, Tawain Jones and Marquez Stevenson seem like guys that can be on the bash list. 

With the possible exception of Moss, I don’t think any of them have a high enough profile to generate the bash volume required to even approach Edmunds level.  Maybe Shaq I guess.

 

Edit:  Plus with Edmunds we get the added feature of people misspelling his simple last name.  How can this be done with Moss or Lawson.  Sure Haack is easy to misspell but he is a punter.

What does this do to the cap as we sit here?  Do we have room to get a vet CB now? Did this open up money?

According to the News article, this deal lowers Diggs cap hit for 2022.

 

Could we possibly sign a cb from the free agent class now?  This could free us up to truely take the best player available in the draft without drafting for need.

in two drafts yes. You should be getting two starters per draft.

So Beane is a failure?

I would have to disagree. Just because Nate played football does not make him a great commentator / analyst. In my opinion the other 3 are highly knowledgeable and are among some of the best in the business, and that is why the show is so successful. Nate is average and was actually the least entertaining out of them all. I lost all respect for him when I heard that he patented the saying “toe drag swag” and started suing individuals for using it. 

Capitalism baby 🤑

I would think that’s the plan.  Add a cb so we can go true BPA in the draft.  Possibly trading up for a player with some elite traits

That would be awesome.

 

I love Beane's "win now " mentality.

Spotrac has us 18.1 million under the cap. Don't forget next year we will get some relief from the amount of dead money we have on the books.

Now it’s time for Stefon to put out a tweet wishing he could play with his brother in Buffalo 😎

Yes.  It has always been the plan.  They're taking their time but I strongly believe they are planning on bringing in another CB.

 

And I also believe they will not be drafting for need.  BPA at a premium position of use (which will probably exclude DL this year).

Josh rang the Beane and said to show some love to his little buddy who was feeling a bit neglected after some recent deals…

 

Beane pulled out one of Pegs’s blank cheques out of his wallet and said no probs…

I don’t trust anyone that let’s the battery on their phone get that low. Maybe they should’ve traded him.😬

Think that seals the deal for the Bills 1st round pick. I'd be surprised if it's a WR unless one falls in their lap. Unlikely since so many teams need a WR. I think it's the best available CB. 

I don’t know the numbers so this is kind of a guess but I bet this diggs extension freed up some space to sign Gilmore or an equivalent on a 1 year deal

What? No but he does need to start hitting on picks cause we can’t keep signing free agents. He also drafted josh and that gives a chance to win every year. We have to get cheaper at certain positions. That’s just a fact

Ranking next extensions in order.

I am not putting Poyer or Edmunds in yet. Need to see the Bills get through the draft. I could see both moved at the draft. 
 

I am leaning to I can get Edmunds level play from Dodson. I know though the internal Bills think much more ahighly of Edmunds than even I do. 

I think you forgot Knox.  He will get his market share a year early (w some guaranteed cash to sweeten the pot).  He's a keeper.

Yes, but Diggs is at 0 on that list, probably because they are waiting the new numbers.

They are digging a new oil well as we speak

[Shaw66]

A week or two ago, when asked about what the Bills were going to do about Diggs, Beane said what he often says - we have a good relationship with Diggs and agent, and these things happen when the time is right.  He pretty clearly implied that we shouldn't expect anything for months or maybe even next year.   

 

The fact is that although Beane is very frank about some things that already have happened, he simply tells us nothing about what's coming.  I admire that discipline in him.  

 

The table is now set for Allen-Diggs to become one of the all-time great duos in NFL history.   The future isn't guaranteed, but these two guys have the talent and the work ethic of Peyton and Harrison, and the talent.
