It is a 1 yr deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColoradoBills Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 23 minutes ago, Shanahan's Horseshoe said: Hearing Beane speak yesterday about eventually having to pay, I don’t think he restructures any other contracts unless it’s for a big ticket item. I just don’t think MLB move the needle that much for this team. OL and WR yes. JMO Agree, Beane also said cap casualties (McKenzie) and going to rework Dane Jackson's tender. Spotrac just moved Dane off the tender, so I think that is happening. Spotrac with $16.8M less Kyle Allen and the new lower Jackson contract. He's got enough space to make a couple of mid-level moves without any big restructures. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he's on, he is very good. It's a contract year, right? I'd love to see him have the kind of breakout year Edmunds had. Then he can go off & test FA. But if we can get Oliver's best (which is really good) for a season, it increases our chances for a title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His problem is his draft slot and the fact that 6 of 8 DL taken in the first round of that draft have made pro bowls. Beane should hire a OL/DL consultant to assist in his drafts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played for Houston & the competition wasn't that great, that's why I like players from the power conferences, especially in the early rounds of the draft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

947 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 I'm pretty sure Beane is OK with Milano being the new MLB if they don't get Jack Campbell, otherwise he'd be making a panic move. There are a lot more options to backfill Milano's WLB spot in both FA & the draft than there are Tampa-2 MLBs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernard got some burn in the Jets game we lost when Edmunds went out. The week after it was Dodson. The week after that it was Klein. Edmunds returned the game on 12/1 against NE. Unless he's been taking the Brian Cushing "nutritional" pack, I doubt they are plugging 224lb Bernard in at MLB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 MLB may end up not being one of our stronger positions - but we have capable players on the roster now who can fill it, and will likely bring in competition there via the draft if we don't sign anyone in FA. It's not like a void. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is all very confusing. Obviously they were not interested in Tranquill. Haha. Good point. So lll be as literal as I can be since the internet doesn't like when people post using language that one would speak if they were talking with a friend. Last year there was a Big problem in the Bills defense. That problem was that the middle of the field was exposed (is it ok to say) very often. So perhaps this year having a less than desirable replacement for Edmonds might hurt the Bills even more, given that many believe Edmonds to be an elite athlete. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what they are thinking when it comes to Bernard. It's a puzzlement. He's a "tweener" and the only thing I could think of is being some sort of counter to the big catching TEs of the league. Don't know how that would work without a whole new D scheme of some sort. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draconator Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Did I miss something on Bernard last year on how a 3rd round pick gets so much hate? We didn't see that much from him. I say plug him in and give him a shot. He could surprise a lot of people. 1 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
