Chicken Boo Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 (edited) 3 hours ago, TheWeatherMan said: WTF are the Bears doing is my question. This is something a SB contender should be doing, not some bottom of the barrel team about to draft a rookie QB. Allen doesn’t have many years left. With the cap room that they have and a QB on a rookie deal, it makes sense to get him a veteran. Keenan is a throwback that still produces at a high level, but without adequate QB play he's going to fall off a cliff.

BuffaloBillyG Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 3 hours ago, GunnerBill said: Agree. I think they are the most confusing team build in the NFL at the moment. None of it makes much sense to me. I think this sums up what I feel about the Bears build this off season. Same with other teams we see try this approach over and over (Dolphins for instance). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BADOLBILZ Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 10 hours ago, GunnerBill said: I sort of understand the Panthers though.... they are bound to be confusing... they are on their fifth coach in three seasons including interims and the GM is new as well. Poles and Eberflus are in year 3 in Chicago. There should be some sense of what the build is supposed to be by now. If Terry Pegula knew just a *little* bit more about football this could have been our fate as Bills fans. The fact that he didn't and started to get a taste of the embarrassment with the Rex debacle inclined him to turn ops over to McDermott and Beane. Fortunately Pegula's sporting confidence was in his hockey opinions otherwise establishing an all-time NHL record for consecutive seasons of missing the playoffs may have equally manifested itself on the football field as well. These super-rich new owners like Tepper all in some from seem to think that they can use their business acumen to get over on all these other owners even though they've rigged it to prevent their business tactics from impacting the standings. It's like a right of passage for them to gently advise and then watch the new guy run around in circles and tire himself out if he wants to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His best decision as the owner of the Bills has been to stay out of football affairs. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColoradoBills Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Is there any chance that Beane and his boys could get a "handshake" deal to bring in a Safety (or maybe another position of need) AFTER June 1st when Beane has more funds to actually sign a contract? Maybe not at this moment, but when things get tighter and the market is drying up. Has anyone heard rumors if something like this has happened in the past? Just curious.

He's got one year left on his contract in Minnesota, with a cap hit of 8.83m I like Harrison. But unless he's released, it doesn't make much sense to me to give up a Draft Pick and pay that much for him. 26 minutes ago, ColoradoBills said: Is there any chance that Beane and his boys could get a "handshake" deal to bring in a Safety (or maybe another position of need) AFTER June 1st when Beane has more funds to actually sign a contract?

I mean, that's months from now. Maybe they wait and see what's around then. But there's no real point in setting up deals now or even a few weeks before. No player is going to pass on solid offers for something they can't put pen to paper to. At most it would be a "if you're still available when we have the money, we'll give you a call".

And Blackmon's also more of a Strong Safety than a Free Safety. My feeling is that Taylor Rapp is pegged for Strong. Guys like Justin Simmons and Qandre Diggs feel a little older than I feel like we're looking at (and Simmons is going to be super expensive). I feel like we're getting into slim pickens department at Safety. Maybe an Ashtyn Davis or a Mike Edwards? Starting to feel more and more like a Round 2 scenario with a lesser known vet FA.

Bring in K'Von Wallace to compete to start, at the very least he's be solid depth. He's got youth and flexible to play both Safety spots can play slot CB in a pinch.

Some of us want to fly higher than an Allen 70 yard bomb😂 I'm not against Simmons. Certainly wouldn't be "spiting me" to bring him in. I just think he's going to be a Calvin Ridley type situation for the Safety position, wherein his number is significantly more than others (save for, maybe, Xavier McKinney). It wouldn't shock me at all if he got more than what Arik Armstead got. And I've heard him talked about with a number of teams who have a lot of money still.

His salary guarantees on 3/17, but that wouldn’t have any impact on a trade. It’s not like a team trading for him wouldn’t expect him to play for them this season. The only thing it impacts is releasing him - which I don’t think is happening until next offseason. I think the Bills would be happy to trade Diggs (especially after 6/1), but I don’t think it happens either.

BBFL Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 2 hours ago, SoonerBillsFan said: Wilson still sucks. He should have retired 3 years ago Eh, he isn’t great but I think he can be competent on that Steelers team. Decent defense, great skill players. They just needed average play last year and they get in the playoffs… No different than Denver the year they acquired Wilson… I remember reading a statistic that if they averaged 20.5ppg, providing the defenses played the same each game, they would have walked away with the number 1 seed. Wilson needs a productive run game to be successful at this point in his career. That 2022 season their whole RB room; Javonte Williams, Murray, Gordon & Edmonds were injury prone. Same last season. Inconsistent run game. Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying that Wilson will turn it around but the play from those 2 years was better than Pittsburgh had… Couple that with what should be a reasonable game that can support his deficiencies and it could work out.
