Obviously you don’t have to do all 24, but I figured this is the perfect time since no one has been re-upped or tagged yet.

The cheaper ones are going to be more likely to re-sign but doesn't correspond to need or talent. If they can get X player at vet min then they are likely to sign them as they are a known commodity even if they aren't necessarily a good player and perhaps they are secretly hoping they get beat out in camp

Not necessarily a ranking, but the bolded are the only guys I want back.

I respect it. I'd add Edmunds and Jones too but obviously Edmunds will get big $

Keep the bolded. Everyone else can walk.  I'd like Poyer, but I don't think he wants to stay in New York.


Ideally we could Tag/Sign and Trade Edmunds.

During the Patriots era of domination they had a core of about 6 high end players and 16 others that changed frequently.  The Bills core I s Allen and Diggs and Knox on offense.  Miller White and Milano on defense. Everyone else is either a JAG or a JAG with potential to be more.  In the final analysis Miller and whites injuries could not be overcome in the playoffs.  Knox and White are concerns going forward.  Diggs is 30. Miller is 34 this March.   All of sudden the Bills are starting to feel like a rebuild.

WOW they say each year is a different team and this year will be definitely a totally different team .

Is there anyone on the roster that predates this regime? Lawson got drafted the prior year (2016) but left and came back. Our LS is also a 2016  addition. That it. Always a lot of turnover on NFL teams.

I think the guys I bolded have a good shot of being back as starters, backups/depth, or ST specialists.  

 

My higher priority players would be Phillips and Lawson.

This plan has us leveraging the future just to re-sign our own.  

 

Allen restructure gets us out of cap jail. 

 

Then we need pull a couple more levers to free up Edmunds money.   

 

We would need to restructure every candidate we have, and likely backload contracts/void years, just to bring back two core defenders on a defense that hasn't stepped up when it matters.

Steelers did this also when they won 2SBs. They would not take Edmunds with a huge contract or Poyer, but would replace them.  You can’t lay 2 studs at every position (Edmunds and Milano, Poyer and Hyde), esp when protecting the QB and giving him weapons is more important.  

 

I don’t think Knox os a concern is Dorsey uses him properly.
