DE Robert Quinn could be a sneaky good addition.


32,  only had 1 sack last year....but 18.5 the year before.   Playing opposite Von in a rotation maybe we could get 8-12 sacks from him 

Vons not going to be on the field until Thanksgiving at the earliest.

What about Leonard Fournette, provided he's in shape? 28 years old, fast, elite runner and receiver in his prime. He's already earning $2m guaranteed, so maybe he'd sign for $3m, given his age. Big guy.

Im not so worried about cap space.....after the McKenzie update, the Bills are smack dab in the middle of the NFL with $10 million cap space counting "all" and $17million for "top 51".

Beane could still sign a couple useful free agents: Bobby Wagner? Dalton Schultze? Zeke? There are several contracts that could possibly be restructured: Dawkins, Knox, White ...

Is the RT Jerome Elumenore better than Quessenberry or Spencer Brown? 

He's better than both combined. Probably cost 2/10M.  Elumenore's 2022 pff was 75.  Spencer's was 51.  And before everyone freaks out, yes I'm just using pff as a frame of reference,  not some guaranteed accurate model.  

 

Update....re-signed today with the Raiders.

I saw that in PFF's rating. And the name kind of rang a bell. But am not sure if he's as good as that rating. 

 

Looks to be a Nigerian Londoner, came to the US at 13 and played hs football. 

 

Has only last season as a starter. Seems interesting, I wonder if the Raiders are trying to bring him back?

Sign Seumalo and Wagner, trade for Jeudy. 

Read that Jeudy is not up for trade , but that would be awesome for Bills to get him IMHO

What is Beane waiting for to grab one of these targeted FA? He loses Williams to the Saints and Kendrick to the Chargers. It’s like he’s low balling these FAs and expecting them to cave. Let’s go and bring in some talent. The draft is not the way to replace Edmunds or get a big time back. Is it me or does this guy seem like he spending his own money.

That's not true. He had a partial tear repair, not a full AC reconstruction. He might not be ready for the start of the season, but Beane himself has said he expects to have him most of the year.

Little too late now, most of the better targets are gone while we signed 2 no name projects.  Should have signed Williams at 4m per.  Vander ech and David were good deals at LB too.  Not sure what is going on with Beane, but it certainly feels like we are further separating ourselves from the better teams solely because of Beanes drafting and FA acquisitions

I hate to criticize Beane prematurely because he could still bring in good players but it seems like he’s not being aggressive enough. We’re chasing these teams and we’ve got significant holes. What did he free up all that cap space for? Hardy is nice player but he’s had serious injuries. The guard from the Cowboys is a good add but Poyer was here and keeping him is great but won’t make us better.

We did not get better this FA period. Very disappointing 

Do you really need to be told a free agency is not over yet?

It’s pretty obvious that the GM is waiting for prices on players to go down

I'd love to see Bobby Wagner and Isaac Seumalo signed and a trade for Jeudy.  Honestly, if we did that, I could give a crap about who they take in the draft.  I think all of them are signable with a little magic.  Wagner would let us take a chance on a later round MLB, Jeudy would put an end to the need at WR, and Seumalo can play both guards and Center.  

 

If we pulled that off, we could honestly go after that RB in the first round and I wouldn't even blink.  This offense would be absolutely terrifying.  Our defense wouldn't skip a beat, and setup nice for the future.  Draft a Safety to prepare for the departure of Hyde/Poyer maybe.


Next season, then we can figure out the Ed Oliver and MLB future plans.

Yes, that sounds terrific. I floated a similar idea minus Wagner yesterday. @NewEra legitimately pointed out that Seumalo is probably taking the Falcons' contract with Chris Lindstrom as a marker for the kind of contract he is looking for. Anything remotely close to that is prohibitive for the Bills. I'd still take Wagner and Jeudy.

Let’s hope we don’t get left with the players that won’t make a difference. I think Beane has gotten us to the point of being nationally relevant, secured the new stadium and the pressure to make bold moves is off. Rather than make a splashy,cap heavy move he’s content to wait  for a deal to fall in his lap. I’m not optimistic about this approach.

There still looks to be a couple of veteran wide receivers they could help us. Adam Thielen comes to mind wants to play on a contender. Let’s pair Thielen and digs up again.

Sounds good, he’s got something left in the tank. How about Bush or Wagner to ease the concerns about the loss of Edmunds?

I'm more on the Jeudy trade than I was in the past. Would much rather have Jeudy than Hopkins or OBJ.

 

Nothing more than #27, and would offer less. WR at #27 won't be better.

 

Hoping Beane trades back at the moment.

We will see. People wanted to argue with me about Tre last year too.

Sounds good to me, and I agree, but alas our next signing will probably be Taiwan Jones

Isaiah Wynn and the other, better Conner McGovern are both still available and would be upgrades, if just average. But that's all it takes to be an upgrade on our OL. Just be average. I don't see any other OL left in FA that I'd want to take up a roster spot or cap space. Unfortunately, we're stuck with the lesser McGovern for a while unless we were smart enough to give an easy out before his contract runs out. He's totally incompetent as a run blocker.

I’m curious what your evaluation is that as to why you think we got the lesser McGovern?

RBs in their prime don't average 3.5 YPC.   Singletary averaged 4.6 YPC and out rushed Fournette by 150 yards despite having 177 carries versus 189 for Fournette.  And Singletary had 5 Rushing TDs vs 3 for Fournette.  Total TDs for both were equal at 6.  Singletary had a higher percentage of runs for a 1st down too.

 

Fournette had more receiving yards but also had twice as many receptions than Singletary.   It would appear the Bucs used short passing game as extension of their woeful running game. 

 

With all that said Singletary still averaged 5.1 yards per touch vs 4.5 for Fournette.   My guess is OBD would bring Motor back before signing Fournette.

Poona Ford signs!

 

Dalton Risner is still out there... that would make our O line depth and starting best we can be at this point. 

 

Also Leonard Floyd still not signed somehow. But don't know how we can pay him.
