The Bills were high bidders for Waddle, tried acquiring Williams

Hate both teams more now. 

 

I read this as meaning both the Dolphins and the BILLS, to be clear.

I wouldn’t have been mad at Beane for making that trade. 
 

I would have said “wow, that’s steep” and then forgotten about the compensation as he and Josh hooked up for TD after TD.

 

Oh well. At least beane can sleep at night with his draft picks intact.

With the AFC this year, we had a serious chance of going to the SB. With waddle it would have been even better. Without him, I think we still have a chance but not nearly as much. 
 

if you have a good chance to go to the SB you do WHATEVER it takes to get there. A 2026 1st (arguably the 31st or 32nd pick) and a 2027 3rd rounder (basically a 4th) was a no brainer - except for Beane.

CHRISTIAN WILKINS NOW!  IF WE HAVE ONE MORE DT INJURY WE ARE SCREWED.

The AFC is weak. If Beane had gone All In & gotten Waddle, this team would be able to win the Superbowl. It would have made Josh's life a lot easier. This was the year.

The dolphins were never going to trade us Jalen waddle lol

 

Anything they say would be to spite fans lol we gave them more than enough compensation according to what we offered

Shaheed would have made a huge difference

Even Jacobi Meyers is making a big difference for Jax…

Not sure if this is sarcasm, so I’ll respond genuinely.

 

it takes 2 to make a trade happen. Beane did go for it, but the Phins didn’t want to arm us with a weapon within the division. That would be like us trading Diggs to Miami years ago - we don’t want the division getting better.

 

honestly as much as I think we still need WR help I can’t say he didn’t try, and coming off a nice win I can’t complain too much today. 
 

nobody in the AFC is going to line up to trade with us unless we overpay, and then you have to be realistic in the value the trade will bring. Trading 3 1sts is possible, but not wise in 99% of cases. 
 

Beane made mistakes, but he’s also put together a roster that won 5 AFCE division titles and is 1 game back from another one.

Each week, I watch our WR’s barely move the needle outside of Shakir. Literally, getting nothing this season from Palmer, Coleman, Shavers, Cooks, Samuel and Moore. Beane’s GM stock has significantly declined this year IMO. 

 

It’s pretty much Shakir and Gabe Davis, who I really don’t understand why he was inactive. 

[MikePJ76]

the bills won today.

 

I will simply never understand this fanbase.

…and Waddle helps the run defense in what way…not to mention he would get 3 targets a game as a Bill.

This again? 🤪

[Maine-iac]

I'm willing to bet Beane tried like hell to go all in.  Not sure which WR he was after but I bet he was after one.  He seemed pretty upset after the trade deadline about no deals getting done.

So what you are saying is he should get the “tried hard” medal? 😂

[NewEra]

Should’ve gone all in and traded for Micah Parsons!  Torn acl

Maybe he wouldnt need to try so dang hard, if he’d actually addressed the WR room in the draft.

Can't argue with that. 

[Steptide]

I would've retained hollins instead of signing Palmer. Palmer has been a waste
