Im all about Addison, but one of these need to be the move.  Figure out the fit and make an offer they cant say no to.  Addison team controlled for 2 years after this year, $2.5M cap hit if acquired this week.  Full route tree, plays like Diggs.  Hes proli ready to be a #1 and not play second fiddle, and get a real QB.  Theres a little diva kicking around but nowhere near the amount thats untenable.  Addison can pair up with Josh the rest of his career pretty much, im absolutely fine paying him whatever he wants when its time.  Kid has been a stud at Pitt, USC and Minny.  Let the guy help us get a ring!! Minny might not be ready now, but theyve already kicked it around last year, they cant pay him, and a few more weeks closer to deadline with Wentz and theyll be ready to move some pieces.

 

We should all be rooting against Minnesota every week!!!

 

 

I'm all for trading for Addision, but I think his character concerns are probably too much for the Bills. I wouldn't hate it you sometimes have to have faith in your culture to absorb a bad apple or two.

The Giants aren't going anywhere but they do have a pretty good defense. I wonder if a trade can be worked out between the teams. The have some players on the DL that can get after the QB that could help the Bills.

All in would equate to who or what? 
 

Im all for it but I can’t see any team trading their big names for what we need most to push this team to the crème de la crème of the league. 

Funnily enough, we are in there right now. Just a few blemishes. 

As far as an allin and getting a big piece, I have no interest in anyone except for Hendrickson (barring a similar candidate shaking loose) on the defensive side of ball.  defense is what it is, and i dont trust a single player upgrade to have any effect.  its a flawed secondary, if we fix a link in the chain, their are other links unable to support their weight.

 

adding more legit pass rush would serve a greater effect than anything else IMO.  from there we can hope the other young players grow the rest of the season.

 

All-In Move Rank:

 

1. Hendrickson

2a. Jordan Addison (could easily be 1a)

2b. DJ Moore

3a. Olave

3b. Shaheed

4. Deandre Hopkins - I know hes not what he once was, but the positive he'd have over Shaheed IMO, is veteran experience, plug n play.  Not going to press him at the line during playoff football.  Hes a dog, and wants a ring, and who doesnt want to play with Josh.

 

For this season alone in a vacuum, I think I actually prefer Hopkins by a smidge. But a chance to preview Shaheed in person, and possibly get a first crack at signing in offseason squeaks him ahead.

This.

 

Sadly, i think Davis is your deep threat this year when healthy.

The culture better be able to absorb one rough around the edges guy.  Addison isnt to the same level as Diggs from what we've seen.  More bone headed than volatile, could absolutely see a strong locker room helping to get the best outta him.  Hell, 3-4 years is a decent run and we got that from Diggs... thats gotta be about league average anyways. 

 

If you take emotion out of it, and look at full body of work, Diggs deal was amazing. 

 

Investment was 1st and 3rd. ..... We got 2 all-pro seasons, 1 pro bowl, 1 schizo

....... then flipped him for a 2nd rder.

 

We got all that production at the depreciation cost of moving down 1 round, and giving up a 3rd.  Thats like buying used car, driving it 200k miles, and being able to sell it for $10k LOL lotta bang for the buck.... and a Diggs is pretty much the worst case scenario

I can live with that if it means adding an elite pass rusher!  Just not many out there.  I'd f'n barf at a big swing at CB/S.  Its just not impact enough for the 2025 season.  Especially when you need an 8yr engineering doctorate to play in this defense.....  Address those in offseason

We need to trade for DJ Moore

Article speculated Moore for a 4th round pick.  Hell yeah in a millisecond!  He’s signed 4 year $110 million contract with Bears in 2024.  We would need to have Bears eat a big portion of 2025 salary, and Beane will have work some cap magic.

 

Then we would have a true number 1 WR for Josh, for this and next 2 seasons.  And it would only cost a 4th, which Beane can easily recover by trading back.  Moore will open up the offense for everyone.

 

I really like Shaheed on the Saints too.  He would offer up much of what Moore can, for much cheaper salary.

 

We still need a starting CB, and that will be tricky to acquire.  Right now I believe CB2 to be the Bills weakest position currently.  Beane must upgrade CB 2 IMO, and that will improve the defense immensely IMO.  Get it done Beane, overpay if you have to.   Make this roster Super Bowl Champion worthy!

There has been a huge drop off in Rapps play.  That’s our second weakest position spot imo.

We need to get Hairston a few kits of GH and a fridge full of BPC-157 lol kidding... sort of. I fixed my old arse rickety knees with bpc157 in like 6 weeks.  NFL claims to have a good program for HGH testing, but it we never see anyone pop for it... so its intentionally a poor program LOL

 

I am surprised to see bpc157 as a banned substance, but seemed almost impossible to pop for with its half life.  Pretty whack some of the things that are out there that can make an enormous difference for these guys healing times, not even talking any performance enhancement... strictly injury recovery. 0 side effects.

 

Yet these guys can gobble opiates to play through general discomfort... and  BYOTTW, bring your own toradol to work

 

Think it'd be illegal for Hairston to swap them knees out with me for my freshly minted ones? LOL
