All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Besides lower level free agents are we done? Granted we might make a trade for stroud. Besides that who else could we sign to make a Splash? Jevon Walker?

I dont know but we better get stroud
I feel a win streak coming and a Bills Playoff Run!!!
Mitchell was a great pickup. We didn't pay a whole lot either, double bonus. Stroud will be huge once and if it happens. As happy as I would be with just these two guys coming to Buffalo I think we still need to sign a WR (Bryant Johnson, Hackett, etc.) and possibly a CB.
If we only aquire Mitchell and Stroud I wouldn't be crushed, both are good pickups. Obvisously I want the FO to be as active as possible though and get a few more guys on the roster before the draft.

LETS GO BUFFALO!
Add a TE to that list and I'm on board.

I never got the "making a splash" thing - how many times did the Redskins or other teams win the free agent superbowl and do nothing?
I for one like what we've done so far and I believe we'll make a few more moves, but if you need the validation of the national media like they've given to the skins and other teams in the past, then good luck.
If we land only Stroud anf Mitchell and a few depth guys, then the FA period for us is a major disappointment IMO.
If Mitchell is the only player we add that's capable of immediately upgrading a position, then it's an outright disaster.
I would be very happy with mitchell and stroud with a few depth guys, i dont know what kind of expectations everyone had but getting a pro bowl dt and a solid starting lb and adding depth before the draft is great for the bills. You build your team through the draft anyways, not by giving tommy kelly 55 mil.
I am not too exicited about the TE available in the free agency market. I really hope this is one of the holes we fill via the draft. Martellus Bennett would be great, but I think he will be gone before we are ready to take a TE. Jermichael Finley, John Carlson or Fred Davis wouldn't break my heart either.

I'm not advocating throwing big money at marquee names for the hell of it, but we have many more holes to fill than just LB and DT and Stroud obviously isn't a done deal yet.
If we go into the draft looking to fill all those holes and an upgrade over Ellison is the only move we've been able to pull off up to that point then we haven't done a very good job attempting to get better.
