    Right. He was the second selection in that draft for Buffalo. Good thing Beane drafted Josh, it covered for the rest of that draft. They let Phillips walk as a failed 3rd. He mistakenly gave away an All-Pro guard in 5th rounder Wyatt Teller. Neal & Johnson turned out to be ok. And the 49ers love Ray-Ray McCloud as a returner.

    Good thing he got Diggs for a first.

    Ray Ray… bills never needed to draft a returner.

    Great signing. So many underrated defensive FA signings this year (Floyd, Poona Ford, Rapp).

    I think Epenesa will stay on the team as a low-cost situational pass rusher, but I see this as his last year as a Buffalo Bill.

    I hope Allen gets him the ball more.

    Brandon Beane on Leonard Floyd- We always believe in trying to be strong up front - ProFootballTalk

    “We always believe in trying to be strong up front,” Beane said. “We really tried to solidify our O-line and then now this just gives us another body, another pass rusher. Protect your quarterback and get after the other team’s quarterback. We faced Leonard with the Rams this year and he’s a player over the last three years has had close to 30 sacks. He’s been right around that 9.5-10 and just another guy we can add up and add along with that.”

    Beane said he spoke to Miller before finalizing an agreement with Floyd and said Miller told him Floyd will be a good fit with the team’s culture as they try to extend their run of AFC East titles and find even more playoff success than they have in the last few seasons.

    Re: Bills Sign DE Floyd

    It looks like it's a $7 mil deal that can increase to $9 mil with sack incentives. Not sure about void years or cap hit. Says he turned down more money from others to come to Buffalo because he wants to win.

    Void years? it’s a 1 year deal.

    Right, so they might add a void year or two to spread the cap hit.

    This takes a lot of pressure off getting Vonn back early. And when Von does come back, Vonn/Floyd/Rousseau is a sexy top 3.

    This appears to be part of the extend Oliver plan.
    Right on!

    Leonard Floyd- I want to win the Super Bowl, Bills are the best team - ProFootballTalk

    New Bills pass rusher Leonard Floyd reported for his first day of work today and said that he had plenty of options in free agency but chose to go to Buffalo because he thinks it’s a place where he can win a ring.
    “It’s simple,” Floyd said. “I want to win. I want to win the Super Bowl. I’m examining teams, looking at their rosters, and the Bills are the best. I just felt like if I come here I can help the team get there.”

    Those three aren't all making it.

    AJ and his 6.5 sacks last season seems like the more likely of the two to garner interest on the trade market.


    Boogie was such a stupid pick after taking Rousseau. If he was the best on their board they should have traded down.

    Looked dumb when they did (Draft Boogie) and even more so now.

    Re: Bills Sign DE Floyd

    This guy makes the defense better. We struggled so much up front last season. It's not just the pass rush all those guys have to battle and maintain the LOS or teams can just run downfield because you can't stop them on 3rd and 1. We need more tenacity on defense. It's as much about every little tiny disruption you can make as it is about getting the sack. The sacks will come if the disruption is there -- and so will the turnovers.

    The rotation was faulty last year and couldn't achieve any consistency at the LOS. I am still not sure if it is the whole idea of rotation they have implemented or the players they have in it but this man is a good sign to try and make the roster better and achieve that goal.
