Gabe was Mr inconsistent last season, like the season before…. And the season before that. James Cook? I got news for you, if Cook becomes a “star” back the Bills aren’t resigning him no matter how much cap space they have….there is literally no point in wasting cap on that kind of back with this offense…. My guess is he’ll be very easily replaced by a lower wage FA signing or mid round pick when the time comes. Kincaid is on his rookie contract for at least the next four… and Elam the next three with the option. Come on, are we really worried about cap three years down the line? Yes. The deal being floated around is for 2-3 seasons with up to 3 dead cap years tacked on to the end until 2028. Do the math. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players like Dalton Kincaid, James Cook, Kaiir Elam, etc could become superstars in the league that we have to pay a premium for and the belt will be tightened by a deal we made this season for a player who will probably no longer be on the team. Pegula should fire Beane on the spot if he ever gave a RB a lucrative second contract. It's the one position where you just draft them on day two or three, let them play out their rookie deal, and then pray you get a comp pick for them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do YOU actually envision the long term cap consequences being if they sign Hopkins? As a professional numbers person myself..........I'm quite certain the the consequence may be just one very silent offseason where they lose a good young player in UFA and have to cut some veteran defenders they'd prefer not to..........followed by a year with a bottom third of the league defense and the Bills offense having to win a lot of shootouts.........and then the following offseason being back in the market for free agents and balancing the roster again.

We traded the picks that became the best QB in the league, and the best WR in the league. Which supports 3 notions.........having a franchise QB can cover up for a ton of personnel mistakes(and JA17 might be the second best QB in football)......... the Belichick take that you have to be making bad moves all the time to be bad in the NFL because there are abundant chances to make up for said mistakes..........and the old axiom that it's better to be lucky than good. Bill Polian lucked into having the exclusive negotiating rights to Jim Kelly. He parlayed that Buffalo luck into taking two other jobs where he got a chance to draft a franchise QB very early in the draft. He hit on one of 2 and now.......largely due to fortune........ people look back on him like he was great. But he is also the dumbass that traded Marshall Faulk for a second round pick so he could pick another RB 4th overall..............and then watched Faulk become the best player in football the next few seasons while he struggled to build a championship caliber defense. Faulk went to 2 SB's and won one. Edge James aged out before the Colts won Polian's one career SB with Joseph Addai at RB. Polian also refused to trade draft picks to add talent to put those SB Bills teams over the top.........to this day it's still inexplicable to me that he wasn't in on Charles Haley. It was exasperating in real time. The Niners traded him to their biggest traditional rival, which illustrates how desperate they were to move him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to switch offences/schemes for a game and see if Mahomes could do any more than Josh with what he's given - especially without the Kelce safety blanket and Reid play calling. Not saying he isn't a world class QB but he's got a world class team. Diggs for Jefferson was also probably the right call, even in hindsight. At that point of time, the Bills needed experience at WR, someone to help Josh along. We say 'Mahomes wouldn't have done as well at Orchard Park', but I don't think Jefferson would have done as well here either.as number one WR. Now Diggs AND Jefferson, on the other hand...

Not a horrible team, but not going to be top 3 in the AFC, unless Beane crushes the draft these years. Josh Allen and a few others, while trying to find 1-3 new core players via draft 3. Short term, Davis and Ed gone after this year. Which might happen regardless, depends how you view this loss (both are polarizing to fans). Beane has stated his thoughts on both guys, unprovoked by questions on either player, when discussing teams longer term plans This is what reality will be, and boils down to whether Beane thinks Dhop is worth that. Alternatively, we have more flexibility with signing our own guys. Who at this point, there isn't a "sure fire" we MUST resign guy, out of all the players mentioned above. But, it comes with the ability to do so if someone makes a big improvement and/or gives flexibility to add another piece (ie Dhop at a different position next season).

Can you name one team that shows this theory to be true? The Rams and Bucs are done with Super Bowls for a while. Unless I’m missing something that leaves the Chiefs and I’m not sure they have used this formula so far. Which big name “superstar” have they signed and which team friendly deals have magically poured in? They have lost a few players as well. At this point it doesn’t appear Hopkins is willing to be team friendly to either the Bills or Chiefs. The Bills are a team that paid big money to a superstar just last year and it did not pay off. It is hard to quantify what the opportunity cost has been or will be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKBillFan Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 My issue isn't necessarily getting Hopkins; it's that the Bills still lack a 1B or number 2 option at wide receiver. Yes, maybe someone could come through, but having an experience body who can draw attention away from Diggs and give Josh another option will go along way, unless Dorsey can get Josh to use the TEs effectively.
