I don't think we should be trading aj, Hot take
I think we r gonna trade either Davis or shakir
I don’t see a world where keeping Murray over Hines is a good idea. It actually sounds awful.
What’s the cap hit on Tre in case we decide to trade him if not up to “old self” and starting Elam and Benford? Getting younger in secondary.
I don't understand cutting Hines if teams are going to be so used to not covering kicks I would make them cover every kick with super talented guys to do it in a week now where there's less emphasis on carrying special teams players less reps actually covering kicks okay let's see how good you are at it I would keep Hines
You guys didnt mention the cb from minnesota making the team or not
What positions are most "tradeable" in August, based on history? Depth Oline? Quessenberry? Nyheim Hines? AJ Epenesa? Dane Jackson?
Yeah that extra year of control is nice for Basham, but that extra year would also likely cost more than it would to re-sign Epenesa at this point. I believe Basham would make roughly 3m in his final year, so re-signing Epenesa for less than 3m is likely very possible.
You cant start Hamlin on PUP, he's already practicing. To be on PUP you have to be on from the start of the off season program. That ship has sailed.
I think Epenesa sets the edge better than Basham and has more upward mobility to him. He was set back a bit by the meddling with his weight his rookie year and has an uncanny knack for knocking down balls thrown and clogging passing lanes and making the QB reroute his passes. Also, don't think Shane Ray has not chance. He does. He was a No:1 pick, and those injuries were behind him, and he has been keeping up with the game in the minor Canadian leagues. playing well there. He has a fire in his belly and Von on his side. He absolutely may make the club, especially if they move on from either Settle or Phillips, with Rouseau able to move inside on some plays.
Sure agree the team will try to trade one or two players. No idea who. Just one thought- the Bills are going to need a lot of young, cheaper players next year. Beane has been accumulating draft picks to this end. So first year players like Broeker and Austin might start with an advantage for the back end of the roster.
I am confused on how people think the Bills have good corners. White won't be the same post injury and the first round pick Elam isn't even projected to be your #2. I think that means they panicked and they really wanted McDuffie.
I could see shair could play on the outside!
I think AJ will play out his contract. He’s a solid backup. I see Lawson moving on first. If we trade anyone, I see Bashum
I think Dane Jackson can play backup slot.. If Dane goes who's the backup slot
Literally every time Ryan Talbot starts talking, his first word is always “Yeah”!! Talk about a yes man… lol
Lol zero chance the bills trade one of the best returners in football
I don’t understand how you reconcile trading Hines because of the new rules but keeping Siran Neal who is an absolute liability on defense.
Dane Jackson is this router's Levi Wallace. Just rip off the band-aid.
Yes play him man get rid of Dane Jackson
