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!
This is only a test
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

According to a league source, the Buffalo Bills and wide receiver Donald Jones have been working on a contract extension. The two sides hope to have a new deal in place before the NFL free agency period begins in March when Jones is scheduled to become a restricted free agent.

I like it, we need depth and Nelson is always hurt and Graham couldn't catch a cold barefooted in Alaska.

It better be cheaper than the tender or I have no interest.
I just hope we go after a WR that wasn't supposed to be a 7th round draft pick this year. There is certainly enough depth in this class. A Tavarres King, Aaron Dobson, hell hopefully Da'Rick Rodgers character issues scare enough people away that he free falls and we can nab him in the later rounds and try to fix him.

“We have made the decision not to re-sign Donald,” said Nix. “We’re going in a different direction and this move today gives Donald the opportunity to catch on with another team early on in the process. We thank him for his years with our organization and wish him the best in the future.”
Patterson is great, but he's not going to slide out of the first and I don't think we need a #2 WR more than any of our other needs. So I'm more looking at the 2nd-4th round guys.
Ah well, doesn't matter now since he's gone I guess this means we use a 2nd-3rd on one. And finally get a real damn offense that's not based on 7th round picks and UDFA's.

On the surface I'd agree with not taking one at 8. But my problem is that the areas where we have the biggest needs don't really fit well at 8. QB and LB. At 8, Patterson at WR fits a need and the type of WR were looking for.
CB may be another spot.
We could take BPA but that would likely be a OT, G, or DL and I really don't want further investment in those areas from an early round. The wild card there would be Levitre leaving. But even then a G at 8? Not a big fan of that. Unless Glenn moves inside and we take a LT like Fisher. But Nix and Co like Glenn at LT.
I think so. I think what we decide to do at QB will determine whether we can go after a top tier or maybe even second tier WR.
The first few days will be telling. If we go after a WR it will indicate were not going after a QB from FA in my mind. But it I realize it also depends on what level of WR we go after (money).

The thing is I fully expect Dee Millner to be there at 8, and while we did just spend a first round pick on a corner, it's either pick up one in FA, trade for one, draft another one, or start Aaron Williams for another year. Or maybe Ron Brooks takes a huge step. But in the mean time #2 CB is still a position of need, not great need, but need. We could also go with Jarvis Jones, even with his spinal stenosis he's a phenomenal talent. And guard at #8 I'd be okay with this year because Warmack is a once in a decade Guard prospect.
Though if Tyler Wilson is there (which I think he will be) we take him, in a heart beat.
All that said, if we went Patterson I'd be alright with it, actually pretty happy in fact, you can never have enough field stretching weapons. Especially one with the pure athletic ability that Patterson has.
