Browns will make them take Watson and his guaranteed salary for Myles.

But really, what amazing player aside from Josh do the Bills have to offer? Who’s their McDuffie, or CJ95, or Rice/Worthy lol? Who’s their bargaining piece player?

So, how does everyone feel about Buffalo’s offseason so far? Going to try to be as unbiased as I can be.

Let me start with what I like. I do think IF you’re set on paying your draft picks, you’ll generally come out ahead extending them early which is Beane’s fastball as a GM it seems. He really has a knack for getting his guys extended at reasonable contracts before they start the contract year.

However… because that’s his fastball, this has been an extremely predictable start to free agency for them. He extends Shakir ($15M per), Bernard ($12.5M per), and now Rousseau ($20M per). $47.5M in AAV value over the next three years.

Where I take issue is his approach has an insanity feel to it — that meaning, this is how he’s always built their teams and to date it’s never been good enough to get them over the hump.

Why not take some more risks? Why not explore what you could get back in trades for more players?

Maybe I sound petty — I just believe it’s a risky at best move to bring back a bunch of guys who haven’t done anything but fail vs. the Chiefs so far. And that matters. Because every year in the playoffs they meet again, it’s a bunch of guys who probably question if they even can beat Kansas City.

TLDR; I think Beane’s approach is a benefit to Kansas City.

Shakir was my guy the year we drafted Skyy.


He's not elite but he's a dog.

Man, they're damned close, though. I don't think I'd do anything drastically different. What they need is ONE really good draft and they could close the gap.

Lol at Rousseau for $20 million per.

May as well be Jean Jacques Rousseau

I like to think I'm not bias when making my Super Bowl predictions before the season starts. I have to see the full off-season before I stamp it. I had it right last year and if the season started today I'd say we're neck and neck with the Bills. If Lamar didn't have a dismal Playoff record I'd put them up there too.( Fortunately our defense still looks pretty good despite potentially losing Bolton.)

At a minimum the left side of our OL needs answers and fast.

You're not.

Sleep well.

Perhaps Beane's problem is that their media and fans. Hope he can swing another Stephon Diggs trade. Someone should take them back step by step and explain how this is not something to aspire too

Something tells me that no amount of calm rationale is going to get Bills fans to step back and take a realistic look at things.

They could learn a few things from Chiefs fans. All we expect is a Super Bowl appearance every year and winning it about 70% of the time.

The deals they did for Bernard, Rousseau and Shakir were excellent value deals that were by no means overpays.

That’s one thing Veach needs to work on

Bernard is the 5th highest paid LB despite being PFF's 165th ranked LB out of 189. I'm not seeing much value there, or with Rousseau, who I think got exactly what he should.

Shakir was a great value though.

Von Miller released

Maybe Beane can make a Von Miller like pick up now

It should be at least another 5 a year.

That's a good deal.
