DER10N92 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Here we are again, another Day 1 of the offseason. We are about $44m over the cap which puts us in a tough spot. I have been messing around on OTC the see what type of options we would have. Some tough decisions could also be made. I don't think anything will happen with Diggs because of contract, but he could also restructure. - Josh Allen (Restructure) - Dawson Knox (Trade) - Von Miller (Post 6/1 Cut) - Tre White (Cut/Trade) - Rasul Douglas (Extend 1-2 years) - Jordan Poyer (Cut) - Deonte Harty (Cut) - Nyheim Hines (Cut) - Kair Elam (Post 6/1 Trade) - Micah Hyde (Cut) - Reggie Gilliam (Cut) - Sam Martin (Cut) - Damar Hamlin (Cut) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbuff Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 The saddest part of this chapter coming to an end for me is the fact that Micah and Po didn’t get over the hump with us. Two extremely important pieces to turning our franchise around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelonebillsfan Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Since there's nowhere else to put this really I'm just gonna put it here. It was the right throw. It was the right play. The OL was what was gonna cost us all year and eventually it was what cost us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally wouldn’t have called that play, would’ve drained the clock to the absolute minimum( but I can’t argue with it because the play was there. Our line really played a lot better than we all expected, but you’re right….once again when we need it most the trenches fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's the difference in their careers and why Josh instead of potentially having two SB's has none. And Mahomes could be on his way to three. Game of margins, and ours aren't enough.

Maxmw22 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I think what might be flying under the radar, we need a legit DC. Our defenses from year to year have been solid, but with Frazier leaving and McDermy taking over this year, they just flounder in the playoffs and we are forced to score 30+ every game to win. Bring me a DC who can get the most out of our group in the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’ll always be Sean’s defense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also unless we promote him, we could lose Bobby Babich to the Giants 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t mean that he can be a DC, but I wouldn’t mind giving him a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thelonebillsfan Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Love Micah, helped changed the culture here, but the time to move off him and Po was after 21', lingering like this out of loyalty was always a bad play, and it cost us. Roster needs a complete reset. WR is need one, then I'd spend yet MORE resources on the defensive line, and try and see if I can pull a better LG/LT free.

It’ll always be Sean’s defense The only way I see it happening is if Beane mandates it (or Pegula) as it could be a make or break year for McD. They can pin this year on injuries, but a lot of the contracts (like Von) have an out, or come to an end after 2024. Pipe dream I know, but it's January and I can dream, haha.

Definitely have to move off of them at this point. Just sucks as a fan because those are two all timers for us. Helped turn a complete dumpster fire into 4X division champs. They are two all time Buffalo greats and should be only a tier below Kelly/Bruce/Thurman/Andre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
