$10mil is too much for a part time player imo
I don’t here Star, but he’s not “great” either

Let’s get a cheaper guy to just “take up space”

- jdfitz77

Well I am sure they will try, but they can't cut Star because of his dead money hit, and it's his last year anyway. He affects the play around him, we all saw that this year with Edmunds.

I get it
Just think we need defensive improvements up front around Oliver & Edmunds
And we need them to improve as well
Time for them to step up & become “difference makers”

I haven’t moved them a smidge.

I’m waiting for any evidence from you that Watt or Hughes aren’t good.

You literally a page ago said it was questionable Watt was still a good player.

Do YOU have any evidence that it’s questionable? He’s 31 years old. Not 34 or 35.

If you had said you don’t think he will stay healthy, or you think he WILL decline, then you’d have a legitimate argument.

But you constantly say things that don’t exist in reality

And you have constantly said you’re done with this convo
So why not just stfu?

We don’t agree
It’s shouldn’t bother you so much

Very much so, Oliver has been a huge disappointment IMO, but having Star and if they did sign Watts could free up both of them.

Dude, YOU choose YOUR narrative that JJ isn't worth it relying solely on Sacks...
- IonSabres


And his list of injuries
And his age
And his cap hit we’ll have to make room for
And who we won’t be able to keep if we sign him
And who we won’t be able to add if we sign him

But sure, it’s “SOLELY on sacks”

WTF!!!

Vaclav was THE MAN

- IonSabres



It was awesome to watch him just piss off the opposition so much that they'd punch him in the face and he'd stare at them with this blank look on his face 😂

He was a warrior, for sure.

Is there a chance that people are putting too much emphasis on a single game against Kansas City? I understand the importance of the fact that no one is getting to the Super Bowl without beating Kansas City, but we can't write off everyone on the Bills' defense (sans secondary)as not good enough because we had a bad game against Kansas City.
Also, I'm not sure I've seen mentioned the fact Kansas City lost the better part of their offensive line for the Super Bowl and that had quite a bit to do with how effective the front four of Tampa Bay was. I guess that means we should panic and worry about Kansas City to the nth degree, but I'm not sure how much upgrading the bills can realistically do. They have to draft really well.

- lacaprup


Maybe?
But they are the king of the mountain that we’ve gotta get by in the AFC

It’s not panicking to say we need to improve certain areas in order to beat them

They reworked his contract at the end of 2018, basically turned it from a 5yr to a 3yr with the money they moved around, I could be wrong but think after this year he can be released with a minimal dead cap hit. This year is the killer, 9mill dead cap hit

It “could”
Don’t know if it “will”
Or even if it does, is Oliver good enough to take advantage?

Lots of questions with our defense imo

That is accurate imo
It’s not crazy to question exactly what we’re gonna get with Watts
And at what cost is it worth it to risk that uncertainty

AGAIN....
I never once said NOT to sign him
I said it was “risky”
We’d essentially be putting all our chips on an aging player who’s unquestionably declined some,
bc we won’t have the Cap Room to do much else
