BigMountainGoat Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 5 minutes ago, The LBC said: "Very close" seems optimistic given the spending the Bills did in the offseason. It wasn't a ton, but cumulatively those Hyde, Poyer, Hauschka, and Holmes contracts can definitely add up, at least enough to turn that 3rd into a 4th. When it was looked at (and in August Bills forums basically looked at nothing else because everyone was utterly miserable), it was analysed it worked out as a 3rd comfortably. The issue is Ducasse who currently beating out Miller at RG. Another way to look at the trade is also the Bills traded Ronald Darby (a CB who didnt fit the system at all) and a 7th for their WR1 and WR2 in Kelvin Benjamin and Jordan Matthews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsGuy82 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 5-2, added a player who fits our QB strengths , fantastic salary cap position and loaded with draft picks next draft. In McD and Beane we trust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even his 5th year option next year is pretty much on par with what other guys in his talent range get, so it’s not like he’d be getting overpaid with that. I don't agree with the move, but it makes sense on a level that Benjamin is a horrible fit in our offense. He isn't a good route runner and his lackluster speed kills our offense and downfield passing game. I could see him being a much better player in a system that asks him to play to his strengths. He looked way better this year than last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The BILLievers Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Still have our (2) 1st round picks, (2) 2nd round picks and (1) 3rd rounder in the draft. wow, what a different narrative around Buffalo we're used to.. Tyrod, Shady McCoy, Kelvin Benjamin, Jordan Mathews, Charles Clay + a top 10 OL + 2nd ranked scoring defense + 1st in turnovers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think Saints game would be his debut If he does he will probably just be sprinkled in certain situations. Just tell him to run fade routes in the redzone and simple things like that.

AZ_Eaglesfan Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 What is Carolina doing? They are in contention to make the playoffs and trade one of their better offensive weapons? What? Bills have tons of picks so even if they don't manage to make the playoffs this season he will still be good to have around next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trentwannabe Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Heard this break on Sirius satellite and I was in total shock. Nervously laughing for a few minutes thinking it had to be a joke. Then I got scared we traded away a 1st or 2nd or a proven player....hahaha nope! McBean doing their thing! Welcome Kelvin!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think any impartial observer sees our roster before the season and thinks a this point we have 1, maybe 2 wins. The biggest thing is that it's looking right away like we landed an A-tier head coach and an A-tier front office right from jump. And we have so many picks in the first few rounds too, my god.
