NoSaint Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 10 hours ago, H2o said: He already has one. At this point in his career, he's probably just looking for one more payday. If he can get that AND chase a ring he would do it. I think the biggest threat to steal him from Tampa is Houston. He played his college ball at A&M (College Station is fairly close to Houston), he's also from Galveston, TX which is not that far from Houston, Houston has $68M, and they have CJ Stroud. I just don’t know that he fits a need there with nico as their big body 9 hours ago, 90sBills said: I’ve always wondered how Davis would do in that offense.

st pete gogolak Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 1 hour ago, babulator said: Just think we could have drafted him and still had another 1st round pick. o\ F!@%ing Whaley. That trade/pick set us back years... Not quite true. Tampa Bay picked him before our original pick was up. On the other hand, trading up for a HOF receiver would have been worth trading next year’s one. Truly a monumental FU by the front office. Make the trade and pick Mack or Evans. Stay put and pick Beckham or Donald. Rest of our draft that year was crap as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Day 10 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 If Diggs and Miller didn't exist, and a cleaner cap outlook in general, I would be on board 100%. Evans will be 31 going into this season. A team will essentially need to pay out a lot of future dead/overpay cap for a few really good seasons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillyG Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 14 hours ago, HappyDays said: Can we get to 100 pages by April? I like Mike. But with how deep this draft is at WR I'm more into finding the NEXT guy that can have an Evans like production at a cost controlled price. Yes, the draft is a crapshoot but WRs on the wrong side of 30 rarely stay productive long when they hit FA. So as good as he's been that's a risk IMO as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 I mean I doubt that we get him, but soaking up other teams cap space helps our odds of a plan B (WR2 doesn't get the long term deal they want, takes a flyer with a contender) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Process Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Houston makes a lot of sense. Comes down to what he's looking for. Does he actually want to win or is he just gonna pull a JJ Watt and go to whatever warm weather team offers the most money for a couple of years before retiring.

Einstein's Dog Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 I like Mike and had been pining for him for a couple of years. But I think it is too late now, he will be too expensive. Even factoring a discount to us for ring possibilities and HOF credential help, he will be too expensive. We needed to get the trade done and that didn't happen - Tampa did much better than anticipated. I'm excited about drafting a youngster. A Mitchell/T Franklin/or K Coleman would work for me. In terms of veterans I lean towards DHop. I think he looked excellent last year and has a great salary of only around $13k (probably less than what Gabe will get). Trade a 4th to the Titans and rework the contract for an extra year at that range to overlap Diggs (we need insurance there). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah John Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 This is simply not the year to overspend on WRs. Some FAs will get big contracts but when it comes to FAs vs promising rookies, a lot of teams that need WR help will go with cheap rookies. There are too many good options in the draft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DapperCam Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Evans is incredible, and would absolutely tear it up with Allen. I just don’t see how we can afford him without crippling our future. But that is why they pay Beane the big bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloRebound Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Would love Evans. He’s a legit #1 WR. Only way it would make sense though is if somebody gives us a 1st rounder or high 2nd rounder for Diggs in the next 10 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he’s here 3/17 that’s an 18.5 million bonus Diggs is effectively untradeable for multiple reasons, but mostly because the cap hit the Bills would have to absorb is unacceptable. There is absolutely zero chance of him being traded...about the same odds as the Bills trading Von Miller. Not happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya Digg? Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 So not for nothing, hasn’t there been a ton of complaining on here for about 2 years because the Bills went out and signed a high priced free agent who was over 30 years old? And now there are 4 pages of people saying to do the exact same thing??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToGoGo Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 19 hours ago, HappyDays said: Probably not. It sure would be fun though. We would have to pull every lever we had and probably include a couple void years at the end to minimize his cap hit in 2024. Cut Morse, cut White, cut Poyer, maybe even restructure Diggs as much as that seems like a bad idea. All of that plus the extra $12.9 million in cap space, I think it would be feasible and give the current regime one or two last all-in years before they either close the deal or we let another regime handle the rebuild. Don't think that's the right move. Unless Allen was 37 and this is our last shot to win a title before he retires, there's no need for this. We have a 10 year Super Bowl window right now.

NoHuddleKelly12 Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 He was pretty reliable in fantasy football for me this past season, but overall I agree with the idea of getting younger and faster at the position for us.
