They will never be able to afford a big WR in free agency

Why would they want one?

Offense is good..sure can be made better, but the defense is what needs work...DL and secondary..

Yeah, they're definitely all-in (again) with DAdams and Stafford both on their last useful years.

It worked out in 2021 year (2022 SB).

I expect LAR will go after some past-their-prime vets on defense next week too?
(Gilmore, Mack, VMiller, Bosa, JAllen, Slay, etc)

I had a feeling that the Sehawks would get a 2nd for DK. Pittsburg now has a compliment for Pickens. Adams signs for two years for the Rams is an interesting move as well. I still don't know where Darnold signs. Seattle and Pittsburg both seem to be players.

They hardly ever sign/ acquire someone. I was surprised the one year they actually signed Charles Woodson.

Just last year they signed two big FA's in Jacobs and McKinney.

For me, Jacobs was expected because they weren't going to keep Aaron Jones. I liked the McKinney signing, though.

Pretty much their two best players on O and D too!

Allen can’t throw the ball to himself. The WR group they have isn’t stellar but the running game is good.

Tell me you didn't watch the Bills without telling me lol

Like I said, another WR WOULD be great...but JA threw for 3800 yards and 28 TDs..so a WR is NOT A NEED

They NEED defense...

They actually got some cap space thanks to the extension. 20m free cap now

Use the 20m to sign hendrickson or sweat and we're golden. Offense is humming as is. We need good edge to stop opposing qb

One of those two players is exactly what the Bills need. A WR would be a nice bonus, but not their top priority, IMO.

If you are okay with a second rounder and what a fifth/sixth rounder leading your WR corps for the long haul, and two guys that averaged 4TDs and 60 catches a piece this season, okay then. I don’t disagree you need D, I just also think you need another big WR

Most of the success the Bills had this season was by Cook and Allen running

I guess NE was happy with a 6th round QB for all of those years.

Yep, maybe add another 2nd or 3rd rounder this year if the draft fell right and you really like a guy. "needing" some big time 30 million dollar WR is the backwards way of looking at an offense. You always build from inside out. Keep the oline strong, you got the QB, you got at least one good RB, that offense is pretty good already. Improve both Oline/Dline at that is where you will see the most improvement. Allen is MVP level QB, he will be fine spreading the ball around. I like Coleman, he will have a big year this year. Shakir is a good slot guy. Maybe if a speedster in this draft if you really like a guy. WRs are almost always replaceable in today's football world. So many spread offenses in college churning through talent. I would only ever do the big contract for the top 3 or 4 in the league.

Yup, just see 2024 Bills. They had one of the best offense in the league just behind lions. We just need Allen to cook, good OL, and upgrade our defense. We desperately need game wrecker. Von is not it

The only times the Packers have won the Super Bowl since the 60's is when they sign a defensive HoFer in Free Agency.

Reggie - 1996 SB win
Woodson - 2010 SB win

Brady is the GOAT, these guys are nowhere GOAT, try again

I don't get the Rams, why ditch Kupp for Adams? That's such a lateral move.

Ninotores · 03-10-2025, 09:00 AM

My Packers continue back to the norm of doing nothing in FA after an odd year last year of making decent moves. All is right with the world. Lol.

I think the Pack will make one good pickup on both sides of the ball. Kupp and Lockett are still available, either of which could really bring some much needed maturity to the WR room. On D, perhaps Jonathan Allen or Grady Jarrett to go with Kenny Clark on the interior DL.

Kupp's cap hit for 2025 is around $30 million and Adams is $14 million and Kupp is coming off 3 straight injury riddled seasons where he was mediocre when on the field.

Fenway55 · 03-10-2025, 10:49 AM

I just don't understand the Bills' move with Allen. They had him at 4 years, $150 million right now with what remained on his current deal (or something like that... tough to know the exact numbers since there is conflicting info out there)

They converted that to 6 years, $330 million. So basically they added 2 years for $180. But those 2 years they added are 2029 and 2030. Who the heck knows what is going to happened between now and then? Allen will be 33 when the 2029 season begins.

IMHO it was way too early to give an extension, and way too much money.
