@KevinMassare @sdcartman Agreed and Okereke is better than Pratt. Not to mention I’m starting to think Beane likes the DT’s he has on the roster

@sdcartman Okereke doesnt count against the formula. Reader and Pratt would
English
Bobby Okereke, the defensive captain for the Giants and ILB coach John Egorugwu is now with the Bills
He would be a good starter to give the recently freed money by the Bills. He wouldn’t count against the compensation formula either. No brainer
English
@Moook_12 Anderson isn’t really a swing tackle. Grable won the swing tackle role 2 years and RVD was the other backup tackle. Anderson was always the utility lineman and “swing” guard/backup center
English
@BuffCommander Help remind me, wasn’t Grable the swing tackle before he got hurt ahead of Anderson
English
Grable beat out RVD for the swing tackle spot 2 szns ago. With that said, the Bills can't afford to stack the tackle room with a 4.2 mill backup. Teams only roster 4 tackles typically, so we aren't really in a depth problem situation, but Lundt better be able to carry some water
English
@BillsSocal Lundt can’t play guard either at his height and being very lite for the position. No anchor ability
English
Bills haven't had to worry about it in a while, but they should probably draft a developmental OT, esp w/ Dion getting older. Lundt is an option but he may ultimately be better as a guard. Grable is closer to a finished product but has been injury prone.
English
@kevin_siracuse Yeah that sounds correct. I really do like the player, just wonder if he can stay healthy consistently
English
@BuffCommander Yeah but it will probably drop his price tag. Plus he would be the perfect competition for Alec Anderson at LG without burying him on the depth chart like a Joel Bitonio or Kevin Zeitler would
English
Remaining free agent targets for the #Bills:
DT D.J. Reader
DT Benito Jones
DT Greg Gaines
LB Bobby Okereke

@KevinMassare Nice. Yeah I think given already have Grable they felt this money could be allocated more to a true position of need. Just hope Grable can stay healthy
English
The Bills free up 3.5m by letting Van Demark go to the Vikings. They get him on a 1 year deal worth 4.2m
Tom Pelissero@TomPelissero
RFA on the move: The Bills will not match the offer sheet to OL Ryan Van Demark, who is headed to the Vikings on a one-year, $4.2 million fully guaranteed deal, sources tell The Insiders. Deal negotiated by @davidcanter @nessmugrabi @brian_mcintyre of @aurasportsgroup.
English
@whittle2k @kevin_siracuse Most definitely. He'd instantly be our best LB
English
@BuffCommander @kevin_siracuse He's still only 29. Can problem get 3 more good years from him
English
@kevin_siracuse @whittle2k Most underrated MLB in the NFL IMO.
English
@whittle2k Didn’t realize the numbers he put up the last three years with the Giants 😳
The dude’s a beast!
English
@Jamespk33 @realdanmitchell @arjunsidhu978 I wouldn't take Young ahead of him (too similar to Groot IMO) and I am lower on Lawrence than most. I know he's become the trendy guy recently, but I just think he's getting overhyped now. I like Derrick Moore better than both.
English
@BuffCommander @realdanmitchell @arjunsidhu978 I would consider taking Zion Young or Malachi Lawrence ahead of him. But my top 3 WR wishlist for the Bills is Brazell, Chris Bell or Skyler Bell. My LB wishlist list is Golday, Hill Jr or Josiah Trotter.
English
Buffalo Bills Top 30 Visits so far (per Stick To The Model):
▫️Cam Porter | Northwestern | RB
▫️Chris Bell | Louisville | WR
▫️Gracen Halton | Oklahoma | DL
▫️Ja'Kobi Lane | USC | WR
▫️Josiah Trotter | Mizzou | LB
▫️Kaleb Elarms-Orr | TCU | LB
▫️Lewis Bond | Boston College | WR
▫️Malik Benson | Oregon | WR
▫️Terion Stewart | Virginia Tech | RB
▫️Zykeivous Walker | Auburn | LB
English
@realdanmitchell At the end of the day, he's not perfect, but no one is. My only major vice with him was how he acted on WGR in relation to the WR position. He put a big bullseye on his chest after that IMO. Otherwise he's a top half of the NFL GM
English
@BuffCommander Glad I’m not the only one in the Beane believers club
English
Chet from Cheektowaga is crashing out over of this.

Approximate Value Over Expectation for draft picks since 2022: 1. Rams (+125.2) 2. Buccaneers (+92.4) 3. Bills (+79.6) 4. Packers (+76.5) 5. Seahawks (+64.7) ... 28. Titans (-26.7) 29. Browns (-35.1) 30. Cardinals (-36.7) 31. Panthers (-39.5) 32. Vikings (-61)
English
@realdanmitchell I agree:
Cook-2nd contract/PB/Rush Champ
Bishop-starter
Benford-2nd cont
Bernard-2nd cont
Shakir-2nd cont
Kincaid-5th year and PB
Torrence-full time starter
Grable-great swing tackle
Walker-full time starter
Hawes-significant play time
Hairston-full time starter
English
@BuffCommander I don't know 100% But I'd assume they're considering 2nd contracts, whether the players become starters, Pro Bowls etc.
His late round finds are probably the reason why he's up so high.
English
@BuffCommander All day…gonna need some royalties outta this year 😂
English
#Billsmafia I am the president of the Malik Benson fan club and Buffalo held a private workout with him
➕Speed on tape looks quicker than 4.37 tbh
➕deceleration is top 5 in class
➕1 drop this year (only 3 last 2 yrs) + sideline savant
➕Will be a ST monster as gunner + KR/PR
English
@RandallSlifer Just getting this all in writing before people say it was revisionist history lol
English
@RandallSlifer Exactly haha. Don't forget I was super high on Cooper when people were still saying he was a late 2nd rounder. He was my WR3 from the jump. Same with you and KC Concepcion and Ted Hurst. No one was talking about Hurst in round 2 when you were. Everyone had a round 4 grade on him
English
@AaronQuinn716 This isn’t a rule change. This is blatantly ignoring rules that have been in existence (and still exist).
English
Once again, people are complaining about rules they don't know in the game of basketball.
Look, I know NBA ratings and stuff are down. But the complaints about the game have crazy old uncle vibes.
The rules have changed since people played in High School in the 1980s.
Also, TBH, the level of play and athletic ability we see nightly in the NBA is greater than it's EVER been. Full stop. We are just desensitized to how good they are.
BrickCenter@BrickCenter_
There's no such thing as traveling in the NBA anymore. Jalen Green took SIX steps in a 1-point game with 25 seconds left... no call 😭
