Ethan in Cleveland Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I'm in London right now crushing it in the gym 4 hours ahead of Buffalo. Knowing what we know now, on Day 2, what would your plan be if you were GM? Me, I think I sit tight at this point and let things settle. Beane plugged some holes. If I'm him, I see what happens at safety and edge over the coming weeks. My guess is there will be some value at safety. If I had to make a move, I would make a run at Chase Young ( see what I did there?) and see if he is willing to go mercenary and sign a 2 year deal (that really is a one year prove it) like Floyd did last year. BTW, saw Chelsea vs Northampton last night. Must say it was fun but not really thrilling like so many soccer fans suggest. Atmosphere was more polite than raucous. The Northampton fans were in one section and shouted the entire match(did I get that right?). The Chelsea folks mostly sat and watched. It was a Monday night. No beer in the stands and their main beer was Singha which is their sponsor. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanForever19 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 (edited) My guess is we'll see Dane Jackson return as Outside CB4 and Ty Johnson return as RB3. Maybe there's a fun move like a vet RB2 or a mid tier Outside WR3 with the potential to Start in the event that our Round 1 WR doesn't have his sea legs under him at the next level immediately. But I tend to agree he's probably laying low. Waiting for teams to spend their money and then fill some holes with the best of what's left, at decent prices.

We knew things would be tight but Beane found a way to still keep 2 key pieces from last years D in DQ and AJ. He got our best backup QB back on a cheap contract and he hasn’t overpaid for anyone overrated (well maybe Rapp). Now let free agency come to you, no need to rush and spend on one of the 20+ safeties still available. Hopefully the scouting department killed the draft prep and we hit on all of our picks. After the draft we hit on any remaining holes. Side note: impact players are still going to be released in the upcoming days and months (Khalil Mack, maybe even Nick Chubb) We’ll be fine playing the long game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_In_NH Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Not sure where they are cap wise but I don’t want to restructure Diggs. I think they can gain some more space by extending Johnson and. Maybe a couple other minor moves. I don’t expect much more but as FA goes I expect low end wr safety dt de and ol signings. Kinda like Rapp and puna last year type deals. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was going to say, not the best representation of English football. Chelsea are nicknamed 'The Pensioners' and their fans have always been more well off. Definitely not blue colour. Newcastle fans, on the other hand would have been more representative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the match going Chelsea fans I know are where I was back in 2019.... going to games feeling it impossible to associate with any of the mercenaries on the pitch for them. That club is a mess at the moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think it's notable that after Day 1, the signings were bringing back expired vets, meaning that they probably had an offer from Beane, waited to see what they got and ultimately came back.

strive_for_five_guy Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Sign Justin Simmons, then Derrick Henry or AJ Dillon, and I’m ecstatic. All the moves made so far have been in-house. Beane’s got to have a couple external targets too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills6969 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 We need to sign a safety. Who are some realistic options still out there? Chinn? Fuller (Rams)? CGJ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
