According to Sporttrac, Bills have $91m in Cap space next year, which includes $9m to Clay and another $9m to McCoy.
Who the hell can we ship these two off to?
Nothing required in return..just get the Cap space

- IonSabres


Doesn't matter how much cap space they have, I have no faith in Beane to evaluate talent and sign the correct players for this team. He's made horrible decisions so far with only couple of good ones. Dude needs to go.

Aaron Rodgers... Man, they should have fired that head coach 3 or 4 years ago. The most wasted QB who's won a Super Bowl.

Allen is like Dahlin where they both have their what the fck moments but they both have "IT".if you don't see it I don't know what to say. Referees blow moose b*lls. Apparently it's okay to tackle the QB by the neck and hit him over the head (last drive) but celebrate a tackle, now that's a penalty. Zays drop at the end was obvious pass interference too. Hockeli's father was garbage and so is his he.

I'd say Dahlin is more Andrew Luck. Allen can potentially be a pretty good QB in this league but I don't think he has the upside of an Andrew Luck nor did he have the hype that Luck/Dahlin had coming into their respective drafts.

I agree.

Dahlin/luck
Eichel/ Jim kelly

Eichel may always chase McDavid, laine, and matthews in goals/points

Eichel like kelly, is a winner.
Kelly was never the best in my opinion, but top 5 for a while.
There was always: farve, Elway and Marino at the top

Unfortunately that was before my time. I was a toddler when Elway won back to back but I always knew of his talent and his impact on the Broncos organization. Was hoping for a Bills win today to knock down the Dolphins in that Wildcard race though.

How awesome would a Chiefs Rams Super Bowl be? Probably better if they were still cross-state rivals.

I'd fire him if he doesn't trade down and draft a WR in the first. And I'd fire him on the spot if he didn't draft one in the 2nd. Benjamin is literally the worst WR in the league(the lowest catch percentage) thankfully he's gone. Zay Jones is starting to look like he belongs, but he's not a number 1. Allen is like Eichel in that he needs to do it by himself if it's going to get done. They'd still need to call a downfield passing game which I don't have much faith in either. But if your "number one WR" catches less than 40% of the passes thrown his way not to mention the ones he has flat out dropped, including in the endzone that are routine catches for an NFL WR.

Sign a nfl receiver. A Good one.
Draft a reciever early
Develop zay

With the number of penalties the Bills get hit with every game, all the coaches should be fired and/or most of the players moved out for lousy execution. And I agree, McDermott's game management is horrible. Also, he is 1 for 10 in coaches challenges.
- SabreWest


Aside from last year when they took the 10th least amount of penalties they've been bottom 10 including 2 years of 2nd most since 2011.

I agree, but the list is pretty barren, and who would want to come here in a seller's market unless the Bills laid out a Mario Williams deal.

Golden Tate is slowing down, plus he played/plays in a pass happy offense. Rishard Matthews is probably the best/youngest guy on the list and he most definitely doesn't fit the choir boy type the Bills look for. Randal Cobb is ok, maybe as a stop-gap, but he's going to look for one last cash-in and I'm not taking on that much dead money to cut a guy in a year or 2 with 4 years left. And he's a possession receiver on top of it, which isn't a bad thing, but not what the Bills need. I think Zay can turn into a nice possession guy.

Edit: Josh Gordon is the best, but for obvious reasons the Bills won't go there.

If Dahlin only ends up the equivalent of luck we should All be disappointed. What has luck ever won?

Please do elaborate. He hasn't hit on everything, but has hit on a lot. Plus he's turned the worst Cap situation in the league to the best.

That's incredibly easy when you just trade everyone away for picks and then wait a couple years. That's not something to be proud of, any bumhole could do that.

I agree.
Hopefully were drafting our future #1wr

Then signing a 2a/2b guy.

Allen makes this team fun, moving forward.
He looks like a pro

Pretty much all of these moves suck - #4 may turn out ok though :

I bet gm's weren't lining up for darius.

That was a good trade.
Look at Jacksonville, now a losing lockerroom

Maybe 8, 10 and 10

Allen looks good
Sammy was fragile
Ty wasn't the answer
Darby is overrated and injury prone
Darius was benched, and underperforming
Edmonds looks good
Glenn is having a terrible year
Wood got hurt, but was playing great

Star looks like waste
Benjamin sucks
Vonte sucked

OK now for my opinions :

Allen was a reach at 7. Career college completion % was below JP Losman's. Can't teach accuracy either. You have it or you don't. This move was bad.
Sammy should still be here. Good player.
Taylor was the best option at the time.
Darby should still be here. This trade still boggles my mind. No reason for it.
Darius should still be here. Don't care about the 'tude - he's a good player.
Edmunds - probably will turn out good.
Glenn - No reason to trade him. Should still be here.
Woods - in hindsight, giving him that contract was dumb.
Star - sucks.
Benjamin - sucks. God was a horrible trade.
Vonte - well we all know this was a dumb move.

Beane is a bad GM. Doesn't have a good eye for talent.

Injuries and surrounding cast hampered his development. Scouts have said that he was the best QB prospect since Manning. Dahlin is the best d-prospect in over 30 years. Luck still has time to win as well if the Colts FO can figure it out.

I mean it was a 6th round pick(let's not ask Homie about 6th round picks though). They gave up a starter, yes with a bad contract, but a starter for a 6th round pick. Which is basically nothing, because how often does a 6th round pick make a difference? Brady?

Edit: The Glenn trade is probably the best move as they actually got fair, or better, value.

Are you a Bill's fan?

Most of us Bill's fans are pumped about Allen.

He looked great today with no oline or good receivers

Moving up to 7th for a qb that the franchise has desperately needed - isnt a reach

It was a necessity

Darius needed to go. Imagine paying him for 3 more years.

Good luck winning under a rookie QBs 1st contract.
