I was really just trying to say Zay was progressing to the point where i could’ve seen him as the #3 this year
Looks like the #4 at beat now

There's nothing wrong w having depth. That's part of what made the late 80's and early 90's Bills so good

I still think its the Jets. Reports that they are going to offer 60 million guaranteed and 17-20 a year.

Like to see the bills get some o-line help next.... and one real pass rusher... that opens the draft up to best player available

So Bills have a real WR group now that's a plus

A good pass catching TE

One of the best centers in football

They need to add a OT

Now they just need to stay healthy and add some depth on D, and make sure Allen progesses.

A healthy Ansah would be nice.

Dawkins-Teller-Morse-Long-x..... a RT and some depth. Take Jonah Williams at 9 and our line is extremely upgraded over last year.

I think Kroft/Croom at TE is going to surprise some people.

Without knowing the exact figures, it looks like the Bills have used about $36 million on their 2019 salary cap to sign these six players. Again, there are probably little ins and outs that I'm not aware of so that's a guesstimate.


They have cap space still

Look what Indy did

They spent money and picks on the OL and they gave up the lowest amount of sacks

Isn't Williams a LT? He played some right early in his college career, though, yes?

More than enough to get what they need to open the draft up to best player...

No, they had $79 million to start.

Will need about $10 million to sign their draft picks.

Yeah he has played both. His versatility is a huge plus, he is comfortable on both sides.

No depending on reports I would say 35-45mil.

Huh, I saw a graphic months ago that they had 90... and that was before the cap went up 11 million. Maybe bonuses and re-signings took it down.

Find one more guy for the line, go secondary market hunting for some depth, Bills are in great shape for the draft. Find an OLB in the middle rounds to replace Zo next year. Snag an OL with the 1st round pick. Snag a DL with the 2nd. TE in the 3rd. OLB in the 4th. Then BPA with the rest, hopefully a receiver or two. Bills doing great things so far.

-surprised Tyrell Williams didn't sign yet. His agent must have over pumped his tires.
-Also surprised Paradis is still out there. Must be mulling on a couple heavy offers.
-Deryl Williams still unsigned. He'd be solid at RT.
-Hate on Frank Gore all you want, but he can still play and he's a captain's captain.

Let's round up to 80 in space, and 10 for picks. 70 (theoretically) for FAs. They have in the range of 35M remaining. All details not out yet on all contracts, but outside of Morse, they're paying all these guys for their first year and sometimes the 2nd. They're all extremely easy to cut after a year or two.

That's brilliant work. No boat anchors.

Morse, while on the field, is one of the best C's in the game. With his injury history, I think you cut Bodine and find someone for maybe 3M AAV to backup. Unless the Bills see that guy as Long. Unless Morse misses more than half his games over a 4 year span, that contract is well worth it.

Beane is quite good at this.

Still some holes to fill here what I see the bills still need Full one or two more in F/A go to draft with all kinds of options.


defense

Pass rusher
DT
Olb


Offense

RT
TE
RG
RB ( draft pick)
WR ( draft pick)

Bills are signing OL Ty Nsekhe. Swing lineman, probably cheap. Beane poster child.

2/14.5, 7.7 gtd. "maybe the best swing tackle in the game"

Beane is a (frank)ing savage.

Indeed. Stick him in the RT spot, grab an OL or DL with the 1st pick.
