1
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: We see these one Bills live presented by called Light

2
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 1: a health. Oh baby, what a time to be on

3
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 1: air because the legal tampering period it has begun. The madness,

4
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:49,520
Speaker 1: the craziness, all the news that we've already seen come

5
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 1: across our Twitter feeds about several players across the NFL

6
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: reaching new deals with new teams, resigning with their former

7
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: current teams, and where do the Bills fit into this equation. Well,

8
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: the Bills have some news of their own that they

9
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: announced today. Two players agreeing to terms on a deal,

10
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: a three year deal with punter Sam Martin. That's awesome

11
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: to have him back in Buffalo for a few seasons.

12
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: And Tyler Medakevic agreeing to a one year deal with

13
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. We know how important Tyler big Red is,

14
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: what the players call him, how important he is to

15
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 1: special teams on the Buffalo Bills. Maddi glab here filling

16
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: in for Chris Brown, right next to Steve Tasker for

17
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: the next couple of hours. A lot of free agency

18
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 1: talk in today's show. We've also got college analyst of

19
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: the athletic Bruce Felman joining us at two thirty this afternoon,

20
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: and a new fresh Mock Draft Watch dropped on Friday morning.

21
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: We tracked around thirty mock drafts and the latest crop

22
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: of mock drafts that have hopped up. Oh my gosh,

23
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: there are so many to track this season. It seems

24
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:09,519
Speaker 1: like people are dropping those every single day. There's new

25
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: mock drafts to check out. And let me tell you

26
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 1: be Jean Robinson, he's still a favorite name for the

27
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: Bills at number twenty seven. But we're going to get

28
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: into that later in the two o'clock hour. But now

29
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: let's talk about some of the moves that have happened

30
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: in the last hour. As this legal tampering period began

31
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: at noon today, free agency officially begins. The new league

32
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: year officially begins on Wednesday at four o'clock Eastern time.

33
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 1: This Bill's roster is going to start to look a

34
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 1: little different in the coming days. Some new faces that

35
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: we will be welcoming to this team, some faces that

36
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: we will part ways with as they will go to

37
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: different teams. The Bills have twenty three free agents. We'll

38
00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:00,040
Speaker 1: see how many of them continue their time with the

39
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills and how many of them go elsewhere. But man,

40
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: oh man, a lot of talk here for several different players.

41
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 1: Over the weekend, we saw the Bills agreeing to terms

42
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: with Matt Milano on a two year contract extension, very

43
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 1: important to keep him in Buffalo for a couple more years.

44
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: That locks him up till twenty twenty six. And then

45
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: there were reports that Tim Settle and niheem Hines reworked

46
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: their contracts, restructured their contracts. We knew this stuff was

47
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 1: probably going to start coming here in the coming days

48
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: and hours, because Brandon Bean has said multiple times, with

49
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: the way that the cap number is set at two

50
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: twenty four point eight million, we're going to have to

51
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: work to get under the cap. What does that mean?

52
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: That means restructures, that means signing low budget free agents.

53
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: We've already started to see some of these restructures in

54
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: the reports about Tim Settle, nihem Hines and Matt Milano.

55
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: Frees up some space as well. Yeah, you knew it

56
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: was coming, and I'm surprised too that we always think

57
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: about let's get the big ones out of the way first.

58
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: You think they're gonna restructure von Miller. You think to

59
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: restructure josh Or or Tredavious Whitewater. They started at the

60
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: kind of the other end, Tim Settles and well not

61
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: the other end, but Matt Malana was a little bit

62
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: of an unexpected one although he was on the list

63
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: that we had mentioned. They've still got some work to

64
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: do to get under the cap and get capped compliant.

65
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: But also you know, signing Sam Martin and Metta Keevich,

66
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: those you know, these are the nuts and bolts of

67
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: the roster. They're gonna need some quality guys. Matakevich is

68
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: kind of a special teams leader, kind of a team captain,

69
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: kind of guy in the special team's room. You got

70
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: to have those guys on your roster, and they and

71
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 1: they redid their deal. Nahemheim's doing the Club of Solid

72
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: restructuring his deal. What he does. He did, He's just

73
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,919
Speaker 1: bet on himself. Is a smart move by him, in

74
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: my opinion, because his deal, he's gonna make like four

75
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: million bucks and everybody said, well they should cut him

76
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 1: and read it. Well, they redid it, so he's a

77
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: chance to make four point seven. But they saved cap

78
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: space because his salary went down and if he just

79
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: and he was only here for like a half a season,

80
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: so any statistics they attached to incentives for him he's

81
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: got seventeen weeks to get him rather than the eight

82
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 1: that he had over the second half of last year.

83
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: So that gives him a real solid chance to catch

84
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 1: some of the a lot of those incentives and make

85
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: more money than he would have if he'd just let

86
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 1: his contracts sit. Yeah, I would say at this point,

87
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 1: when you're looking at the Bills and the moves that

88
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: they have made, I am not shocked by any of it.

89
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 1: I didn't know if we would. I didn't think we'd

90
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,919
Speaker 1: see Matt Milano's name this week, but it makes sense

91
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: that they want to extend him and rework some space

92
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 1: that they'll be able to work with this year in

93
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: terms of new players coming in, in terms of extending

94
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 1: current players that are on this roster that are set

95
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: to become free agents. That numbers twenty one for the Bills.

96
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: And I just said twenty three, but it's actually twenty

97
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 1: one for the Bills. As a couple guys have already

98
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: decided to and it's been you know, announced that they're

99
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: coming back to Buffalo in the previous weeks. So where

100
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: do the Bills kind of sit on the scale of

101
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 1: what's happening and what's being announced in real time. It's

102
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: it's tough to keep up with our Twitter feeds right

103
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 1: now as new deals and new announcements are coming out

104
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: on the minute, on the second, I want to say, so,

105
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: let's run down some of the ones that we know about,

106
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: some of the ones that have been previously reported. So

107
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 1: we all saw that report that the Rams are sending

108
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey to the Dolphins for a twenty twenty three

109
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: third rounder and tight end Hunter Long. The AFC East

110
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: continues to get better on offense and defense. We've seen

111
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: the reports about Aaron Rodgers and potentially the Jets. At

112
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: this point, we're just waiting for Aaron Rodgers to make

113
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 1: a decision. I think a move like this, if it happens,

114
00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: it's going to be very interesting to see how the teams,

115
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: how the Dolphins, how the Patriots, how the Bills decide

116
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: to act. Yeah. I don't know that in the wake

117
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: of Aaron Rodgers possibly coming to the New York Jets.

118
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: If Aaron Rodgers comes to the AFC East, I don't

119
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: know that the teams change the way they're doing things.

120
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: I know the Jets will change massively. They're going to

121
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: attempt to put together the same roster they had last

122
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: year where they were just missing a quarterback and just

123
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: plug Aaron Rodgers in may change what they do in

124
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: the draft a little bit. Maybe they'd go a little

125
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: bit more offense than they would otherwise have, But I

126
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: think it changes things massively if you're the New England Patriots.

127
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: I mean, all of a sudden, they're a distant fourth

128
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: in the AFC East. And I've heard rumors too, not rumors,

129
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: but speculation that maybe it's the Patriots, who, by the way,

130
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: are making a few releases and signings today as well,

131
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: but they've been crushed by free agency over the past

132
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: handful of years. Remember this is the team that signed

133
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown to a contract for a nine million dollars

134
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: signing bonus and he got one game out of him.

135
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: Same team that signed Jonathan Fanene, a defensive tackle, to

136
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: a three year nine point eight million dollars a year

137
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: average and got zero games out of him. They signed

138
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: John U. Smith, who they just who they just got

139
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: rid of, for a four year, fifty million dollars. They

140
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: guaranteed thirty one point five million dollars of it. They

141
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: got fifty five receptions and five hundred yards and a

142
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: touchdown out of that. I mean, they've struggled in free

143
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: agency and now, and they struggled in the draft with

144
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: some of their choices, and they drafted a guy that

145
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: was picked to go Day three as a number one

146
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: draft pick. If they want to be relevant, I think

147
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: they got to make a play for a Lamar Jackson

148
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 1: type of player. Don't you think, Steve, This division is

149
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: going to look wild if that was wildly different than

150
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 1: it did a year ago. Yes, all of a sudden,

151
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: And I've also heard there's still people on Twitter, national

152
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 1: guys on Twitter who are saying they still think Tom

153
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,839
Speaker 1: Brady's in play for the Dolphins, even though they just

154
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,719
Speaker 1: picked up to a Tonga Voloa's fifth year option and

155
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: hung up twenty three million on him. They still think

156
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: Brady's in play for the Miami Dolars Tom Brady tweet

157
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: he said taking care of his daughter's kitten is taking

158
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: too much of his time in a retirement that you

159
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: know what, you know why that that just lets you

160
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 1: know that there are conversations going on. He's got to

161
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: come out and say, hey, listen, I'm retired. He's still

162
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 1: on somebody's front burner, which means it's the Dolphins, and

163
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: as we're talking about quarterbacks, quarterbacks shifts continue to happen.

164
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 1: According to Ian Rappaport, he tweeted sources are saying that

165
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: former Raiders quarterback Jared Stidham is signing a two year,

166
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: ten million dollar deal with the Broncos, choosing to play

167
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: for Sean Payton over other options. The deal, which includes

168
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: five million years and ted and four million more and upside,

169
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: reunites him with Davis Webb, who is known since he

170
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: was a teenager. Well, we know Davis Webb really well

171
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: because he was with the Buffalo Bills for a couple

172
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: of years. Reports out there, Jason Kelsey of the Eagles

173
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: the center, announced he's not going to retire this season.

174
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: Baltimore cutting veteran defensive lineman Klais Campbell. We'll see if

175
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 1: he heads back to Baltimore if they're able to free

176
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: up some space. That's a move that you kind of

177
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: look at it and wonder what's going to be the

178
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: case for him. He's had an incredible time with the

179
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens, a huge force on that defensive line. A

180
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: couple of other announcements out there as well. Reports are

181
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 1: saying that former Eagles linebacker t J. Edwards is heading

182
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: to the Bears on a three year deal. So we're

183
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: starting to see some news with the linebackers here. Does

184
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: that mean anything for Tremaidan Edmonds and the Bills? We

185
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: will see. The Broncos could be looking to trade for

186
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 1: a wide receiver. They've had talks with teams about Courtland's son,

187
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 1: Jerry Judy and kJ Hamdler. According to reports, Rams running

188
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:16,959
Speaker 1: back Austin Eckler looking for permission to seek a trade,

189
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 1: permission to seek a trade. Also, we were talking about

190
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: the afcast. The Patriots did sign the cornerback Jonathan Jones

191
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: back to a two year with worth maximum of twenty

192
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: million dollars. It's guaranteed thirteen million. He gets two years

193
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: of roster security and they get their their quarter their

194
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: best cornerback back to play again. So the Patriots are working,

195
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: They're working on the defensive side of the Balls signed

196
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 1: their corner Jonathan Jones back to a two year, thirteen

197
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: million dollar contract with a max of twenty million. So

198
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: there's you know, there's a lot of a lot going

199
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: on around the league and Austin Eckler and this in

200
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 1: the same time, the Austin Ekeler the chart. I've talked

201
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: to Brownie a lot about this. Maddie, the Charge are

202
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: going to be Chargers. They they don't really do well

203
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: year in year out. They got their quarterback, but I

204
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 1: think they're the rest of their team. Tight end Donald Parham.

205
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: They couldn't reach a deal with him. Now he's going

206
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: to be a free agent. Austin Ekeler now can't get

207
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: can't signed to a deal, and he's a guy who's

208
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 1: been really effective for them, can't come to an agreement.

209
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: They he's asking to be traded. The Rats are leaving

210
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: that ship. I mean, I don't think the Chargers are

211
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: going to be able to compete in that division this

212
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: next year after having their even with Justin Herbert on

213
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 1: a rookie contract. What are they doing? I don't know, man,

214
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: I do not know. A player like Austin Ackler requesting

215
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: permission to seek a trade. You wonder what that team

216
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: is going to look like in twenty twenty three. Yeah,

217
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: and then another and AFC West again. They're your thing

218
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: about Jared Stidham. I think that's a big deal because

219
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 1: Jared Stidham was a guy who worked with Josh McDaniel

220
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: in New England, came down there running the offense, helping

221
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: those gay he wants out. He's gonna sign with the Broncos.

222
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: I think for Stidham it's a great move because Sean Payton,

223
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: for all the things that Josh McDaniels has done, how

224
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,439
Speaker 1: tough can it be when you're working with Tom Brady

225
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 1: as opposed to Jared Stidham and Derek Carr and those

226
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: kind of guys that he hasn't had the same success.

227
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: He didn't have the same success in Denver when he

228
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 1: drafted Tim Tebow. Yeah, Vegas looks like they're struggling to

229
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,199
Speaker 1: find a quarterback. They're said to be in the running

230
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 1: for Jimmy Garoppolo because Josh McDaniel worked with Jimmy and

231
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't Jimmy Garoppolo is gonna better

232
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 1: than Derek Carr. That's a sideways trade at best to me. Yeah,

233
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: I agree, because at least Derek Carr took all the snaps.

234
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,439
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo maybe on crutches on the sidelines for a

235
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: percentage of your season. I don't know. This is really

236
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,839
Speaker 1: it's he's coming kind of into focus because all this

237
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: stuff happens. I'm really interested to see what happens with

238
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmunds because, as you said, that t J. Edwards

239
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: contract with the Bears is three years for nineteen million.

240
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: That's not much. I know, it's a steal for the Bears,

241
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: and the Bears are a team they have cap space

242
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: to use. Yeah, they can make that move, and they

243
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: can make a bunch of other moves. And they also

244
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: have a lot of draft picks next year because they

245
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: trade away that number one pick, Maddie that not only

246
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: do they have to make moves like that, they have

247
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: to make moves like that because they're under the salary

248
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: floor for the NFL. They're not even spending the minimum

249
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: for their payroll. They've got to spend that and more

250
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: this year and next year to get back in compliance

251
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: with the CBA. They're not paying anybody. So they got

252
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: to make this move and others like it. Yeah, but

253
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: this deal with t J Edwards, I mean, what's that

254
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: safe for trem Edmunds contract? And everybody thought after Roquan

255
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: Smith got the type of money that he got that

256
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: players like Tremaine Edmonds might be impossible to keep in

257
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 1: Buffalo based on the cap space because Roquon got big

258
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: time money, so that must mean somebody like Tremaine Edmonds

259
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: would also get big time money. But you see this

260
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: deal with t J. Edwards and you wonder if there's

261
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: a little bit of room to work, if there's a

262
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: little bit of room to create a team friendly deal.

263
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know. He's such a young

264
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: linebacker that teams. I feel like so many teams are

265
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: gonna want to go after somebody like that who still

266
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: has a lot left in the tank, who has crazy

267
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 1: measurables that are hard to get within the NFL and

268
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: are also going to be hard to get via the

269
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: draft this year. Some other news that's out there, the

270
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: Jets agreed to terms with linebacker Quincy Williams on a

271
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: three year deal. Another linebacker, according to reports and Offensive

272
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: Line that it's been a position group that a lot

273
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: of people say that the Bills need to address in

274
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: free agency. A name that the Buffalo Bills not necessarily

275
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: have been linked to, but a name that some analysts

276
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: have said would look good in Buffalo. Ben Powers, Well,

277
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: he's signing a four year deal with they with the

278
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: Broncos former raven Ben Powers sign a four year deal

279
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: with the Broncos, according to reports, fifty two million, twenty

280
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: eight and a half million dollars garin teed. We'll see

281
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: if Buffalo makes any moves in free agency that have

282
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: to do with the offensive line group. They have quite

283
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: a few names, quite a few depth pieces that are

284
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: set to become free agents that played on the offensive

285
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: line this past season. Yeah, and that's where the Bills

286
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: I think are focusing most of their attention. They're trying

287
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: to get They've got some huge positional emergencies on their

288
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: roster right now. They got one safety and Micah Hyde

289
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: Jaquan Johnson is free. They got nobody else. You could say,

290
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: Christian Benford's going to move back, he's a corner. They

291
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: got nobody else at safety. Offensive line, They're estimated by

292
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: the lack of contracts that they have. They don't even

293
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,360
Speaker 1: have anybody on a contract. That's the problem with these

294
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: two position groups. So the Bills are in a positional emergency,

295
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,400
Speaker 1: which they can fix through free agency, but they gotta

296
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: if you know, there's a way to cover those deficiencies

297
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: by signing guys. But I told this, I told Brownie this,

298
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: and Christer Passo this at the end of last week.

299
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 1: If they're signing guys at the veteran minimum, those guys

300
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,120
Speaker 1: are just looking for jobs. I mean, they're just they're

301
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 1: Charlie Bag of Donuts and Billy six pack. Yet and

302
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: a lot of those players who were on the team

303
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: this past year, we're one year deals that were offensive lineman.

304
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 1: I mean, Roger Saffold is one, David Quessenberry is one,

305
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:44,239
Speaker 1: Greg Van Roten is another. Bobby Hart who's kind of

306
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: been on and off this roster over the last few years.

307
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens with him. Justin Murray another name.

308
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: So these are depth pieces, whether they started or not,

309
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,360
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to address. You're gonna have to see

310
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,199
Speaker 1: do we want this player on our roster in twenty

311
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: twenty three, do we want to look elsewhere? If they're

312
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 1: looking elsewhere, are they going to be looking at those

313
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: one year deals or are they going to want to

314
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 1: sign a bigger name to multiple years but may have

315
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 1: to shift some of that money around in a creative

316
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: way because of their cap situation. Now here's how it

317
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,199
Speaker 1: gets complicated as well. So certainly you want to go

318
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 1: out there and it seems simple. You go out there,

319
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: you see how much money we got to spend. Who

320
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 1: are we looking to find out? And ask all the

321
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 1: guys who were available at those positions how much they

322
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 1: want see if you can sign them. That's all. That's

323
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: all well and good. Now you throw this curveball in

324
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: because today we've heard, like with Austin Eckler, he's got

325
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 1: permission to seek a trade. The Denver Broncos look to

326
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: be dealing wide receivers. Cortland Sutton, Jerry Judy, kJ Hamler,

327
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: all those guys are are on the trading block. Now

328
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: they're not trying to dump them because of their salaries,

329
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 1: but they're looking to move on from those guys for

330
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: draft picks or whatever. And those are like Jerry Judy

331
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:02,160
Speaker 1: can play. Oh yeah, those that's Portland Sutton. They got

332
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: a trio of guys who can really play. All three

333
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: of them are said to be available through a trade.

334
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: Now the price is there, but you gotta go kick

335
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 1: the tires on those guys while you're shopping for free agents.

336
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: Over here, you've got these three guys who can really

337
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:20,239
Speaker 1: go are up for trade over here. It's complicated. And

338
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: the more that you talk about this and the more

339
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: that you look at the Bill's roster and where they're

340
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 1: at and what they need. The more I'm all in on.

341
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: I know Brandon being said low budget free agents, but

342
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: he said we might not make big splashes before and

343
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: then they go out and get von Miller. I'm starting

344
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:43,719
Speaker 1: to become of the party that says, no, let's go

345
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 1: get a big name. This team has such a great roster.

346
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 1: They're a couple choices, couple decisions, couple players away from

347
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 1: being a part of that conversation of a super Bowl team.

348
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: And yes, they still will be because of where they're

349
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: at right now and the players that they'll get back

350
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 1: terms of guys that are going to be healthy this

351
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 1: upcoming season. But why not go out and try and

352
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 1: do something with some great names that are going to

353
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 1: be available within the free agency market here in the

354
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 1: next couple of days. As we're seeing teams start to

355
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: make these big moves, I don't think we we thought

356
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: Buffalo would be one of the first teams to make

357
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 1: a big move at all. But maybe they could make

358
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: a few moves that aren't going to cost crazy amounts

359
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: of money. But but we'll still be upper echelon names, right,

360
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: And I yes, and you look at the names that

361
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: are out there are I mean, you got to look

362
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: at them. I mean they're like Tom I mean Tomlinson,

363
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 1: all these guys that are the defensive tackles like Javon

364
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: Hargrave from the Eagles, Draymond Jones, Zach Al And then

365
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 1: you've got guys like you got interior, your offensive lineman

366
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: like Isaac say Yumalo, Ethan Pocick, Nate Davis, Garrett Bradbury,

367
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 1: Dalton Risner from the Broncos, and Power She's got signed

368
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 1: Will Hernandez. You got some guys out there that are available.

369
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 1: You got a ton of names. I mean, there's and

370
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 1: it's still it's still true that people want to come

371
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: to Buffalo to play for a team that is a

372
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 1: playoff contender every single year, with the opportunity to make

373
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: it to the AFC Championship hopefully push into the Super

374
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 1: Bowl over the next couple of years. Guys may take

375
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 1: less money because they want to win. We saw players

376
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: do that in the past with the Bills. We've seen

377
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: players signed team friendly deals to be a part of

378
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: what's going on in Buffalo. Maybe that happens again this year.

379
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: For a couple of names you mentioned Javon Hargrave. Well,

380
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:58,479
Speaker 1: news out on him. They've reached a deal or an

381
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: agreement on a four year, eighty million dollars deal that

382
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: includes forty million guaranteed at signing with the San Francisco

383
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: forty nine ers, per sources. That's big money. Yeah, it is,

384
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: and it's going to the San Francisco defense. It's already

385
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 1: that's already good. Yeah, that's amazing that the Bronco. I mean,

386
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 1: the Niners are gonna be good defensively. Again. One of

387
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 1: the things about the Niners though, and that's just me

388
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 1: probably talking because I'm i the Niners have all these guys,

389
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: and they've got a roster that's on unbelievable and they've

390
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 1: been trying to get the quarterback right for a while.

391
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 1: Something about the way they do business out there gets

392
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: a lot of guys nicked up, particularly their quarterbacks. Yeah,

393
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: they've been a team that's gotten Everybody tends to blame

394
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo for being fragile or getting it's not I mean,

395
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 1: it's not just Jimmy. Everybody that plays quarterback for them

396
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 1: gets whacked. And so whatever it is about their offense

397
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 1: that lines them up for that or puts them in

398
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: that position, it leaves their quarterback vulnerable to getting hit.

399
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 1: And I know there's it's easy to say that, and

400
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:15,719
Speaker 1: when you look at the big picture, not look at

401
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: every injury because they're all different, they're all unique. But

402
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: not only that, their defense is also in the same boat.

403
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:23,640
Speaker 1: So I don't know something about the way they're doing

404
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: business out there in San Francisco gets guys nicked up.

405
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 1: And when you look at teams getting nicked up, when

406
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: you look at teams getting nicked up over multiple years,

407
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: not just one year and having it be a thing

408
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 1: and not the next year. The question is what does

409
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 1: the lifting look like in the weight room as you're

410
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: going through offseason workouts. We talked about the reports out

411
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,199
Speaker 1: there that the former Ribbons guard Ben Powers heading to

412
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: the Bronchos on a four year deal. Another name that

413
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 1: could be heading to the Bronchos, per sources, right tackle

414
00:23:55,720 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 1: Mike McGlinchey. The Broncos are solidifying that offensive line already

415
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:05,880
Speaker 1: within the first couple hours of this tampering period, given

416
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson some extra protection up there. Yeah, that's mcglinchey's

417
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: a really good tackle that helps them a lot, and

418
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: they've still got Dalton Risner, who is a free agent

419
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 1: and into your offensive lineman. But mcglinchi's one of the

420
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 1: top tackles available. There's Caleb McCrary, Juwan Taylor of course,

421
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 1: Orlando Brown from the Chiefs. All these guys are available,

422
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 1: but mcglinchey's a guy that was really well regarded by

423
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 1: a ton of people. And Broncos going fast and hard

424
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: right here in free agency and the early going. Oh yeah, So,

425
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: as you can already tell, we are going to be

426
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 1: jumping all over the place today from team to team,

427
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: just based on the information that's coming out, some of

428
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: the reports that are coming out. We'll be talking about

429
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 1: the entire NFL, not just the Bills today because there's

430
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 1: a lot of free agency news in this week of

431
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: free agency frenzy. We'll see what the Bills do in

432
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: the next couple of days as we approach the new

433
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 1: league year, starting on March fifteenth at four o'clock, and

434
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 1: the Bills will start to welcome some of those new

435
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 1: faces to One Bill's Drive. I would assume on Thursday

436
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 1: and Friday we'll have some of these new guys in

437
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,880
Speaker 1: doing press conferences, media availabilities, and maybe even hanging out

438
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: with us on one Bills Live. We've got a Twitter

439
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: question today. What's the best plan of attack for Bills

440
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: GM Brandon Bean in free agency? You get to play GM.

441
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 1: What do you think Brandon Bean should do in free agency?

442
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: How should they set up the Bills for twenty twenty three?

443
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: What position? What player are you looking at? What pieces

444
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 1: do you think need to be addressed in the next

445
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,719
Speaker 1: couple of weeks to set this team up for the

446

Speaker 1: resigned by their old teams. It's going to continue on

473
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 1: throughout the day, throughout tomorrow, and then Wednesday is when

474
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: all of this stuff becomes officially official. The AFC East

475
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 1: starting to look a little bit different. Could Aaron Rodgers

476
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: be in a Jets uniform this season? Well, we are

477
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: waiting to see what he has to say about all

478
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 1: of that, reports say that Jalen Ramsey is heading to

479
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, that defense continuing to get better, and then

480
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 1: the Bills announcing that a couple of players agreed to terms.

481
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,439
Speaker 1: Matt Milano on a an extension that keeps him with

482
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 1: the Bills through twenty twenty six, and then Sam Martin,

483
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:32,160
Speaker 1: Buffalo's punter, and Tyler Medkevich, one of our linebackers who's

484
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: also a big part of this special team's unit, agreeing

485
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: two terms on new deals with the Bills. Also reports

486
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 1: saying that Niheim Hines and Tim Settle have restructured their

487
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 1: contracts to free up some space for the Buffalo Bills.

488
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 1: We knew that this would happen because the Bills are

489
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 1: over the cap. They've got to get under the cap

490
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 1: to that twenty two hundred twenty eight point five million

491
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 1: dollar cap that the NFL is operating at. In the

492
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three season, we've started to see some of

493
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 1: these offensive linemen, some hot names for the offensive line position.

494
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: Had two teams, the Broncos, according to reports, getting Mike

495
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: mcclinchey right tackle five year, eighty seven and a half

496
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 1: million dollar contract. Holly Moley also Ben Powers on a

497
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 1: four year deal, fifty two million dollar contract with twenty

498
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: eight and a half guaranteed. There's some big money being

499
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: spent by teams already. Yeah, and the Lions are signing

500
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 1: cornerback Cam Sutton, who was with the Steelers last year,

501
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: three year deal. We're thirty three million, twenty two point

502
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 1: five is guaranteed. So the Lions get better, the Steelers

503
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: take a hit to their defense. You know, the Niners

504
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 1: signed Javon Hargrave to that big deal. They were they

505
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: were already paying over six people eight point three per

506
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 1: year per guy over six years. They're they're paying their

507
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: defensive line way more than anybody else in the National

508
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 1: Football League. And that was before they signed Javon Hargrave

509
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: to a four year, eighty four million dollars deal. I

510
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 1: mean there, and I get it. They don't have a

511
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: quarterback to spend it on. They can't keep a quarterback healthy,

512
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: so they really are investing. They're putting their money where

513
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 1: their mouth is. Their defensive line is dominant in any

514
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: game they play as long as they're all healthy. Boza

515
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 1: has had trouble staying healthy, but you know, and the

516
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 1: rest of them have had trouble last year as well.

517
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: But if you don't have a quarterback, you gotta spend

518
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: your money somewhere and get some good players to try

519
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: and win games. And their defense has definitely won them

520
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: games in the past and in this past year they

521
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: had an incredible defense that was really hard to move

522
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 1: the ball on and score on. We've got our Twitter

523
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: question for the day. What's the best plan of attack

524
00:30:56,280 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 1: for Bill's general manager Brandon Bean in free agent? See

525
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 1: what do you think the Bills should do? Give us

526
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 1: a call at eight to three, five fifty or tweet us.

527
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 1: I have a free agency preview story coming out later

528
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 1: this afternoon or tonight. It's about expert opinions what the

529
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: analysts think the Bills should do during free agency. And

530
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: I asked for position groups. I asked for names and

531
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 1: the hot position group. I know you're not surprised by this,

532
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 1: but was interior offensive line for the Bills. That's an

533
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: area where a lot of NFL analysts, a lot of

534
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: NFL experts believe the Buffalo Bills need some more depth.

535
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: They believe that they need more for Josh Allen in

536
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 1: the pocket, They need more to help out their run game.

537
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 1: They believe if they can add some depth there and

538
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: even some talent that could compete for a starting spot

539
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 1: that possibly the offense could take a step forward next year.

540
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 1: I definitely agree that based on the guys that are

541
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 1: set to become free agents, there's quite a few depth

542
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 1: pieces that the Bills could resign or they might lose.

543
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 1: What are they going to do with that position, whether

544
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: it's resigning guys or adding new guys, They're gonna have

545
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: to look at the offensive line as a whole. Yeah,

546
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: and I this is it just keeps going on NFL.

547
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 1: It's uh, let's see Carolina. It's amazing to me too

548
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: that we got the draft on the horizon. And you

549
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 1: think about what the Bears and the Carolina Panthers did

550
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 1: this last weekend in trading the Bears trading the number

551
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 1: one draft pick for two ones, A two and a

552
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 1: player a very good player DJ to the Bears, and

553
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 1: the Bears given up one draft pick and dropping down

554
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 1: number nine to number nine. I still got a top

555
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 1: ten pick. And there's nothing that says the Bears can't

556
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 1: do that again, Yeah, and drop down further or and

557
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: it doesn't and it doesn't mean too that the Carolina

558
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: Panthers can't drop down one or two spots. If they

559
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 1: think that the Houston Texans or whoever are gonna take

560
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that they don't want and the one that they're

561
00:32:59,920 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 1: gonna get is still there, they could pick up number

562
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: one of those number ones back and trade back once.

563
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 1: Yeah again. So I don't know that they'll They probably

564
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 1: won't do that, but it's still on the table, depending

565
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 1: on you know, because Arizona is at number three, and

566
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: if Arizona wants to jump up and take somebody like

567
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,719
Speaker 1: Jalen Carter or somebody, they could go to the number one,

568
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 1: give up one in the next year's two or something

569
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 1: like that to give to give Caroline to the three pick. Man, oldman,

570
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 1: this stuff just keeps you know, this is this kind

571
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 1: of this. We knew this week was gonna be like

572
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 1: this with all this stuff happening, But man, oldman, is

573
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 1: this as you keep refreshing this. The Commanders are signing

574
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: the Giants Nick Gates to a three year deal. He's

575
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 1: an offensive line interior offensive lineman. So that's they've agreed

576
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 1: to terms. Our Saints defensive tackle Shy Tuttles reaching agreement

577
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 1: with the Panthers on a three year nineteen and a

578
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: half million dollar deal that includes thirteen million guaranteed at

579
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 1: sign according to reports, Panthers adding to their defensive line.

580
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 1: Speaking of the defense, one of the biggest questions that

581
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 1: the Bills have to address this week and figure out

582
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 1: is are Jordan Poyer and Tremaine Edmunds is going to

583
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 1: be a part of this team in the coming years

584
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 1: or is there just no way that they're able to

585
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: retain both of these guys because they're going to get

586
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 1: more money on the open market, And we know Brandon

587
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 1: being likes to let guys who are set to become

588
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 1: free agents. He wants them to test the market and

589
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 1: see what they're capable of getting if they choose to

590
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 1: do so. Tremaine Edmunds and Jordan Poyer and interviews have

591
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:42,800
Speaker 1: said that they want to enjoy the free agency process.

592
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 1: They want to they want to see what they're worth,

593
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 1: They want to see what they can get. So who

594
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: knows if those are two names that will be on

595
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 1: the Bill's roster in twenty twenty three. When you think

596
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 1: about the potential of names like that not being a

597
00:34:57,120 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 1: part of the defense, those are foundational names. Those are

598
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:04,359
Speaker 1: names that came in with Sean McDermott and Brandon being

599
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 1: Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde. To think about that safety

600
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 1: tandem not being a tandem in twenty twenty three, you

601
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 1: wonder how the defense could change overall because Jordan Poyer

602
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 1: and Tremada Edmonds are such important pieces and important players

603
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 1: because of how the defense is played, because of the

604
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 1: fact that they mainly are a nickel defense. You put

605
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: a lot on your secondary when you're in nickel. Most

606
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 1: of the time, this defense in years pass has played

607
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 1: a nickel more than any other NFL team. You let

608
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 1: two linebackers on the field, those two linebackers have to

609
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: be really talented linebackers to be They got to be

610
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,360
Speaker 1: the right guys to be able to play up and

611
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 1: to rush the passer and to play the run. And

612
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 1: they've also got to be talented enough to drop into

613
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,320
Speaker 1: the pass game and cover some some tight ends or

614
00:35:55,640 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 1: or cover wide receivers, you name it. So the defense

615
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 1: could start to look a little bit different, and that

616
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 1: begs a question of if it's going to look different,

617
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:11,359
Speaker 1: could this defense also play a little bit different this

618
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 1: upcoming season? Knowing that Leslie Fraser is not going to

619
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 1: be the defensive coordinator this next year, knowing whoever is

620
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:19,799
Speaker 1: going to be the play caller that's still up in

621
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 1: the air, right, That's exactly right. And as we plow

622
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 1: through this right now, there's about eleven moves that are

623
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:33,879
Speaker 1: worthy of mentioning here. Defensive tackle Javon Hargrave four years

624
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: eighty four million to the forty nine ers from Philly.

625
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 1: The Broncos signed offensive tackle Mike McGlinchey five years eighty

626
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 1: seven million, big money. Bronchos also get guard Ben Powers

627
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 1: four years fifty two million. The Bears get linebacker t J.

628
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 1: Edwards three years nineteen million, Lions get cornerback Cameron Sutton

629
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 1: three years thirty three million. Falcons get defensive tackle David

630
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:04,799
Speaker 1: onium On Yamada three years thirty five million. Patriots resigned

631
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: their cornerback Jonathan Jones two years nineteen million. Packers resigned

632
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:13,479
Speaker 1: cornerback kick returner Keyshawn Nixon to a one year deal

633
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:18,880
Speaker 1: for six million. Broncos get Vegas quarterback Jarrett Stidham to

634
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:23,240
Speaker 1: two years ten million. Panthers have got defensive tackles Shy

635
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 1: Tuttle three years nineteen million, and the Commander's getting center

636
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 1: Nick Gates three years that price has not been released yet.

637
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: So there's those eleven are off the top here and

638
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 1: it's still you know, the timeline is still twirling here.

639
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: So that it's the thing that surprised me that the

640
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 1: t J. Edwards contract with the Chicago Bears line back

641
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:53,320
Speaker 1: inside linebacker like Tremaine Edmonds three years, nineteen million bucks.

642
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 1: It's just over like it's not even seven million bucks

643
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 1: a year. And we thought Tremaine, or we may still

644
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 1: he thought trains are gonna get like twenty and he

645
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 1: could he could still do that, but you would what

646
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 1: we had said in the first segment of this show

647
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 1: is you see something like that come out and you

648
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 1: wonder if there's a world where maybe it's not Yeah,

649
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 1: if Tremaine stays here and he signs a team friendly deal, bills,

650
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 1: that's what Tremaine's sitting there. If you're Tremaine, I've been there.

651
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 1: If you're Tremaine, you're sitting there. You're whatever happened before

652
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:32,920
Speaker 1: free agency? You start clicking in all this stuff. Here's

653
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 1: what here's the only thing that trains up against a

654
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:39,439
Speaker 1: team that believes their inside linebacker is not important enough

655
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:44,319
Speaker 1: to give fifteen to twenty million dollars too. If they

656
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 1: can get a guy like t J. Edwards in Chicago

657
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:49,320
Speaker 1: for seven million a year, and you don't think Tremaine

658
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 1: Edmonds is way better than t J. Edwards, you'll take

659
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 1: the TJ. Edwards and say we'll live with the difference.

660
00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 1: But if you think Tremaine Edmonds is a difference maker

661
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:02,319
Speaker 1: for your dfense, he's young, he's in his prime. He's

662
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:05,799
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl player. He's twenty four years old right now.

663
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 1: He's twenty four. Incredible, he is not even twenty five

664
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 1: years old. There's people in the draft that are twenty

665
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 1: five years old and he's a six years He's a

666
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 1: six year event going into a sixth year. Yeah. So

667
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:22,360
Speaker 1: you're sitting there like that and you're thinking, huh, you

668
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:27,319
Speaker 1: know that's where Tremaine's at. Is there a team out there?

669
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:29,360
Speaker 1: And if there is a team, who is it that

670
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:31,279
Speaker 1: is sitting there going this is a twenty five year

671
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 1: old player we could sign to a deal. He's younger

672
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 1: than some of the guys that we were thinking about

673
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:38,800
Speaker 1: drafting at that position. But it's going to cost us

674
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:41,720
Speaker 1: like twenty million bucks a year now in five years.

675
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 1: If you signed him to us eight year contract in

676
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 1: five years, the contract's obsolete even for a bad player.

677
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:51,319
Speaker 1: Right by that time, everybody's rich. But for now it's

678
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 1: going to cost us some money. What do you think.

679
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. If I make that deal, we'll see

680
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 1: we were biased year. I would love to see both

681
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:02,479
Speaker 1: of them back in a Bill's uniform, but I don't

682
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's possible. Let me ask you

683
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:07,800
Speaker 1: a simple question. When the Bills are making this decision,

684
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 1: when Brandon Bean and the scouting department are making the

685
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:14,440
Speaker 1: decision as to if Tremaine and Jordan can be a

686
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 1: part of the future of this team, is the question

687
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:22,360
Speaker 1: which one do we value more? Which position do we

688
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:25,399
Speaker 1: value more? Safety or linebacker? Is that no, I think

689
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,839
Speaker 1: it's it's the number. It's the number. I us got

690
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 1: to be the number. And I say this too. I

691
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 1: would say, if knowing the relationship that Tremaine has with

692
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:35,399
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean and Sean McDermott, and you know how much

693
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:38,240
Speaker 1: they love and respect each other, the Bills would probably

694
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 1: benefit themselves. Just say, Tremaine, you just go out and

695
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 1: find out what you're worth and if if you want

696
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:47,839
Speaker 1: to before you sign it, call us, and if we

697
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:50,760
Speaker 1: can match it, you know we will if we can't,

698
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:54,800
Speaker 1: then we'll just you know, hey, you hit the home run. Congratulations.

699
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 1: We won't even We're not even going to make you

700
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:59,919
Speaker 1: an offer because we because you, we think you're worth

701
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 1: way more than we can afford. So go out there

702
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 1: find out and if you want to do us the face,

703
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:05,360
Speaker 1: you don't have to. But if you want to do

704
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 1: us the favor and call us to see if we

705
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 1: can match it, and you want to stay here for

706
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:10,840
Speaker 1: that money that you're going to sign with whoever it is,

707
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:15,440
Speaker 1: allow us to allow us to a chance to match it.

708
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 1: And Tremaine can say, yeah, I may or whatever, but

709
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 1: I'm going to hit the market. And then if I

710
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 1: if I don't like the number, if I don't, you know,

711
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:24,359
Speaker 1: if it's not copacetic, I may give you a chance.

712
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:29,920
Speaker 1: I may or may not. I would imagine something like

713
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 1: that happened, but that's all in Tremaine's court. Then Tremaine

714
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 1: doesn't can say no, forget you. I'm gonna be a

715
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 1: free agent. I'm gonna take the top dollar and if

716
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,440
Speaker 1: you're not going to make me an offer, I'm going

717
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 1: to be insulted by that, even though I know you're

718
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:46,360
Speaker 1: you know you can't whatever all this stuff is on

719
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 1: the table, but I think that's where the Bills would be,

720
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 1: and I think Tremaine would be okay with it because

721
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 1: at least he gets him to free agency, which is

722
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:54,759
Speaker 1: where he wants to be, where every player needs to be.

723
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 1: And Tremaine and Jordan have both said in separate interviews

724
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:00,399
Speaker 1: that they want to enjoy this process of what free

725
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 1: agency is like of not the whining and dining, but

726
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 1: similar to the whining and dining, seeing how much people

727
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 1: want you, seeing how much people will pay for you

728
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 1: to be a part of their teams. So two big

729
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:18,880
Speaker 1: question marks for the Bills, which Tremaine Edmunds and Jordan

730
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 1: Poyer um in terms of free agency according to the analysts,

731
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 1: According to the people that I talked to at the

732
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:29,439
Speaker 1: NFL Combine, it seems like safety, the safety position has

733
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:32,360
Speaker 1: quite a lot of depth in free agency. There's a

734
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 1: couple names that are going to get paid big money,

735
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 1: but there's going to be um several guys that are

736
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:39,360
Speaker 1: under the guys that get big money that that the

737
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:41,800
Speaker 1: Bills could afford if they need to go after a safety.

738
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 1: Same with linebacker, although I've seen linebacker at least tied

739
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:49,319
Speaker 1: to the Bills. If they don't get Tremaine Edmunds, the

740
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 1: Bills could go to the draft for a linebacker. It

741
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:55,239
Speaker 1: looks now like another stories come out. The Raiders are

742
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:58,319
Speaker 1: closing in on a deal to finalize a deal, not

743
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:00,200
Speaker 1: finalize it because it won't be finalized to win. Say

744
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo, the quarterback from this Niners after six seasons

745
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 1: in a Super Bowl appearance with the Niners, Jimmy G's

746
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 1: on his way to Vegas reuniting with Josh McDaniels, be

747
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:11,440
Speaker 1: with Josh McDaniels, who he was with in New England

748
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 1: at the beginning of his career. So there's that that

749
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 1: was kind of reported a little bit. Now it seems

750
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:18,719
Speaker 1: like it's taking more shape and they are actually in

751
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 1: a conversation that looks like it's gonna end with Jimmy

752
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 1: G being in Las Vegas. Raider Now I get it too.

753
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 1: I don't know how. I don't know how much money

754
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:29,880
Speaker 1: they're gonna pay Jimmy GE to come to Vegas, but

755
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 1: they were on the hook for like what twenty seven

756
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:36,360
Speaker 1: million dollars with Derek Carr. If they're gonna give Jimmy

757
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:39,759
Speaker 1: G more than that, what are they doing. And if

758
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:41,839
Speaker 1: Jimmy G doesn't get more than that, what's he doing?

759
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 1: He's taking a paca. He was making thirty plus million

760
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:48,239
Speaker 1: dollars with the Niners on a huge deal that he

761
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:52,759
Speaker 1: signed with him years ago. I don't know. So the

762
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:55,720
Speaker 1: Raiders are banking that Jimmy G is a better option

763
00:43:55,840 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 1: than Derek Carr. I'm having a hard time discern it's

764
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 1: interesting now. I get it. The grass is always green,

765
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 1: grass is always greener, and Sean Josh McDaniels is probably

766
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 1: sitting there going on, Derek Carr is a great guy.

767
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 1: But I want Jimmy G for whatever, because of something whatever,

768
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 1: because of a personal knowledge, as I like the way,

769
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 1: I like the way he's in the locker room, or

770
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: I like the way he's not in the meeting or whatever.

771
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:23,759
Speaker 1: I remember being with Jimmy GE and I liked him

772
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:25,799
Speaker 1: better than I'm liking Derek Carr, so I want him in.

773
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:30,359
Speaker 1: I think Derek Carr offers you the ability to have

774
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:34,360
Speaker 1: a more diverse offense than Jimmy G. I think you

775
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:36,920
Speaker 1: have to have a specific offense with the way that

776
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:39,799
Speaker 1: Jimmy G plays, and it's worked for the forty nine ers.

777
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 1: It's worked in San Francisco before with him as quarterback.

778
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 1: They've won a lot of games with Jimmy G as

779
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:47,799
Speaker 1: quarterback in his prime. But I do believe you have

780
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 1: to have specific things in place in order for your

781
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:54,760
Speaker 1: team to do good with him at the helm, although

782
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:59,240
Speaker 1: you could do worse than Jimmy G. Yeah, there's several

783
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 1: quarterbacks out there, several younger guys out there, several several

784
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:08,400
Speaker 1: names out there. Okay, we'll see. Yeah, well we'll see

785
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:11,839
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. Knock, knock, Are you there? What's going on?

786
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 1: Quarterbacks are starting to making moves. He said he wouldn't

787
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 1: hang around too long in limbo. He said he wanted

788
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 1: to do good bye. Whatever team the Packers and the

789
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:27,799
Speaker 1: Jets held host and announcing this news at an okay time. Hey,

790
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 1: we're almost two hours into this legal tampering period and

791
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:34,879
Speaker 1: we have heard zip, zilch, nada. Maybe within the next hour,

792
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:37,360
Speaker 1: we'll see. We're taking a break. We're taking a break, tasker,

793
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 1: don't worry. Lots to talk about, lots to talk about

794
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:42,719
Speaker 1: here on One Bill's Live, So don't go anywhere. We're

795
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:45,600
Speaker 1: presented by Clyde to Health. This is Buffalo Bills Radio.

796
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 1: We're back here on One Bills Live on this Monday

797
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 1: afternoon free agency frenzy. It begins the legal tampering period

798
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:17,879
Speaker 1: starting today at noon, the new league year beginning Wednesday

799
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:22,120
Speaker 1: at four o'clock Eastern time. When all of this info

800
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 1: becomes official, when all these reports, when all of these

801
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 1: sources say, when it gets locked in, just a couple

802
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:31,839
Speaker 1: of days away from that, just a couple of days

803
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:37,319
Speaker 1: away from welcoming new faces into the Buffalo Bills organization

804
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:40,239
Speaker 1: and into One Bills Drive. I'm sure we'll have some

805
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:44,279
Speaker 1: press conferences here later in the week, so yeah, we

806
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 1: will see what happens and possibly some breaking news from

807
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:54,840
Speaker 1: Mike Garoffalo. The Bills have agreed to terms with guard

808
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:59,919
Speaker 1: Connor McGovern on a three year, twenty three million dollar deal.

809
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 1: Former third round pick of the Cowboys heading to Buffalo.

810
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:09,120
Speaker 1: There you go. Task here the Jets last year and

811
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:14,319
Speaker 1: coming over the Bills this year. Three twenty three million.

812
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:17,919
Speaker 1: There you go. Okay, three years, that's a long time.

813
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:20,839
Speaker 1: That's what we talked about. Yeah, the Bills have some

814
00:47:20,920 --> 00:47:25,320
Speaker 1: offensive linemen that were on one year deals this past season.

815
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 1: Several of them are up now that they've been a

816
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:31,719
Speaker 1: part of the team for a year. And our question was,

817
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 1: you know, are there going to be a lot more

818
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:35,480
Speaker 1: one year deals that we're going to see a part

819
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 1: of the offensive line that we're going to see as

820
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:41,400
Speaker 1: depth pieces on the offensive line, possibly competing for starting spots.

821
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:45,399
Speaker 1: But here we see, according to Mike Herefalo, a three year,

822
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 1: twenty three million dollar deal for guard Connor McGovern heading

823
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:55,839
Speaker 1: to Buffalo, a third round pick of the Cowboys. Hey,

824
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:58,320
Speaker 1: this is what you're looking for. This is the position

825
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 1: group that we said the Bills and a lot of

826
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:04,840
Speaker 1: people agree that the Bills need to address in free agency.

827
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:07,759
Speaker 1: Hold on a minute, now, there's two Connor McGovern's. One

828
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:11,120
Speaker 1: is with the Cowboys, yea, and one was with the

829
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:13,400
Speaker 1: Jets for quite some time. This is the this is

830
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:20,040
Speaker 1: the Cowboy connorment. Yes, yes, all right. Let's see here

831
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:24,520
Speaker 1: he is six five three eighteen it was he's a

832
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 1: went to Lake Lehman, Pennsylvania, penn State guy, twenty nineteen

833
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:36,839
Speaker 1: round three pick. He's you know, he got thirty four

834
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 1: and eighth inch r arms Like, let's go back to

835
00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:42,439
Speaker 1: the let's go back to the combined measurements. Got nine

836
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:47,120
Speaker 1: is got ten inch hands nine and seven eighths inch hands. Yeah, okay.

837
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:51,400
Speaker 1: He started in twenty nine games, played in forty five games.

838
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 1: He's been in the NFL for three seasons, started in

839
00:48:56,080 --> 00:49:00,279
Speaker 1: fifteen games this last season for the Dallas Cowboys. The

840
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:03,839
Speaker 1: Bills are addressing we're already seeing, according to reports, the

841
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:08,759
Speaker 1: interior offensive line, which is what several analysts said at

842
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:11,520
Speaker 1: the NFL combine when you ask them where do the

843
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:14,320
Speaker 1: Bills need to add on to where do the Bills

844
00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:17,880
Speaker 1: need to get better at in free agency or in

845
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:22,200
Speaker 1: the NFL draft, And almost every single person the first

846
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:26,160
Speaker 1: thing they said was offensive line. Offensive line, offensive line, interior,

847
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:28,920
Speaker 1: offensive line. If you add to the interior, if you

848
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:31,680
Speaker 1: add more firepower to the interior, you're going to give

849
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:34,239
Speaker 1: Josh Allen more time, and you're going to be a

850
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 1: bigger threat in the run game. Yeah, and we all

851
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:41,160
Speaker 1: you know it's a trite to say, Hey, it all

852
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:44,440
Speaker 1: starts up front. It does. You've seen what happened when

853
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:46,960
Speaker 1: teams forget about the offensive line where they when they're

854
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 1: get injuries to the offensive line. One of the true

855
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:52,839
Speaker 1: surprising things about the Chiefs ability to play as well

856
00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 1: as they did in the Super Bowl was the fact

857
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:57,720
Speaker 1: they had three offensive linemen out for that game, and

858
00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:02,040
Speaker 1: they still won the game. Those guys played outstandingly. In fact,

859
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:04,560
Speaker 1: one of their tackles, one of their players from that

860
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:12,160
Speaker 1: Kansas City Games, just signed a new deal. Andrew Wiley's

861
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:15,799
Speaker 1: the right tack Chief's right tackle, signed a three year,

862
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:19,000
Speaker 1: twenty four million dollars with the Commanders. He's gonna play.

863
00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:21,040
Speaker 1: He started fifty nine games. He's gonna go back and

864
00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 1: stay with Eric b Enemy. So these offensive lineman who

865
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 1: played so well for these other teams, particularly this one

866
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:29,399
Speaker 1: in that Super Bowl where they had all these guys hurt,

867
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:32,359
Speaker 1: they cash in on it. I don't even know if

868
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:35,800
Speaker 1: Wiley was actually even a starter before all those guys

869
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:38,640
Speaker 1: got hurt for Kansas City. Now he goes to Washington Commanders,

870
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:40,760
Speaker 1: is going to play for them and Eric b Enemy.

871
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 1: Bills did the same thing with Connor McGovern, third round

872
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:47,440
Speaker 1: draft pick from the Dallas Cowboys, played fifteen of their

873
00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:51,279
Speaker 1: seventeen games this year. He's coming to the Buffalo Bills. Well,

874
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 1: so it's probably a lot of upside. This kid has

875
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:56,400
Speaker 1: played three years in the NFL, he's still young. On

876
00:50:56,440 --> 00:50:59,919
Speaker 1: a three year deal. According to reports, with the buff

877
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:02,320
Speaker 1: Low Bills, somebody that you kind of kind of mold

878
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:05,520
Speaker 1: into how you want to play the position. He's going

879
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:08,280
Speaker 1: to have a great offensive line coach and Aaron Cromer

880
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:11,320
Speaker 1: and be a part of an offensive line that has

881
00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 1: some incredible veteran players in Mitch Morse and Dion Dawkins

882
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:18,920
Speaker 1: and some young players too like Spencer Brown. So so

883
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:22,200
Speaker 1: we'll see how Connor McGovern gets folded into the mix

884
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:25,840
Speaker 1: here in Buffalo. But Brandon bean every single year, and

885
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:29,720
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott agrees, you gotta look at the trenches first.

886
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:32,239
Speaker 1: When you look at the defensive line, this team looks

887
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:36,319
Speaker 1: pretty good. They're gonna get Von Miller back and healthy

888
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:40,520
Speaker 1: this upcoming season. They have drafted, they spent a lot

889
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:43,359
Speaker 1: of draft capital on the defensive line over the last

890
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:48,320
Speaker 1: couple of seasons. That position group. Maybe they might add

891
00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:51,160
Speaker 1: some more adapt pieces because there are some guys that

892
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 1: do become free agents Shack Lawson, Jordan Phillips, couple of

893
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:59,719
Speaker 1: those names. But offensive line is the position where you

894
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:02,400
Speaker 1: look like you need to add some more depth to

895
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:05,000
Speaker 1: that position group, and we see the Bills doing it

896
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:10,880
Speaker 1: here adding guard Connor McGovern to their roster. We'll see

897
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:15,560
Speaker 1: when this becomes official on Wednesday afternoon. This comes first

898
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:19,160
Speaker 1: from Mike Garafolo. Also Adam Schefter's reporting Miami is giving

899
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:23,919
Speaker 1: us getting a backup quarterback for Tua, former Jet guy

900
00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:26,839
Speaker 1: Mike White. Remember the Jets who had to start Mike

901
00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:29,160
Speaker 1: White during the last year. Two year deal worth up

902
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:31,719
Speaker 1: to sixteen million. He's going to back up Tah. That's

903
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:36,719
Speaker 1: from Adam Schefter. So Mike White will probably be taking

904
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:39,680
Speaker 1: snaps for the Dolphins this year given to his inability

905
00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:41,800
Speaker 1: to stay healthy. We'll see. But Mike White gets a

906
00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:44,040
Speaker 1: two year deal after playing for the Jets and against

907
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:47,960
Speaker 1: the Dolphins and the Bills, and within the AFC, stays

908
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:52,000
Speaker 1: in he stays in the division. It's interesting. It's interesting.

909
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:54,400
Speaker 1: All right, break time for us. When we come back,

910
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:57,080
Speaker 1: we will step away from free agency and talk a

911
00:52:57,080 --> 00:53:00,680
Speaker 1: little bit about the mock drafts that are out there.

912
00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:03,560
Speaker 1: Who the experts, who the analyst thinks think the Bills

913
00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:07,239
Speaker 1: should choose at that number twenty seven pick in the

914
00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:09,800
Speaker 1: first round. So don't go anywhere, because we're gonna address

915
00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:12,440
Speaker 1: that next. On One Bills Live, we're presented by Collide

916
00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:46,480
Speaker 1: Health on Buffalo Bills Radio. We see these one Bills

917

00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:55,719
Speaker 1: one Bills Live, our two of our show. It's the

919
00:53:55,760 --> 00:53:57,640
Speaker 1: off season, but you know what, the NFL does a

920
00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 1: really good job of making the off season seem quite

921
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:04,120
Speaker 1: white relevant. So many events that happen throughout the offseason

922
00:54:04,160 --> 00:54:08,239
Speaker 1: where the NFL is talked about at length. We have

923
00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:12,279
Speaker 1: and if we have March Madness brackets coming out this

924
00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:16,840
Speaker 1: last night, the tournament about to begin. Brackets are set.

925
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:19,640
Speaker 1: You can make your picks. But you know what everybody's

926
00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:22,879
Speaker 1: talking about all these moves in the NFL today as

927
00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:26,799
Speaker 1: the legal tampering period began today at noon. All of

928
00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:31,400
Speaker 1: this becomes official on Wednesday at four o'clock Eastern time.

929
00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:34,880
Speaker 1: That is the start of the new league year, the

930
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:37,319
Speaker 1: start of the twenty twenty three league year. In the

931
00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:42,279
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, they could be shopping for a backup quarterback

932
00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:45,719
Speaker 1: because reports are saying the Texans have agreed to sign

933
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:49,560
Speaker 1: case Keenum to a two year contract as their backup

934
00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:54,520
Speaker 1: quarterback behind the second overall pick in the drafty So yeah,

935
00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:56,040
Speaker 1: they were also in their running. They were also in

936
00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:58,920
Speaker 1: the conversation about Jimmy Garoppolo earlier today, but Garoppolo is

937
00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:00,839
Speaker 1: now going to go to Vegas, so lease Houston without

938
00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:03,319
Speaker 1: a quarterback case. Keenom's a perfect guy no matter who

939
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:07,040
Speaker 1: you bring in. He's a quality veteran who's good at

940
00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:10,000
Speaker 1: getting the number one guy ready, particularly if he helped

941
00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:12,480
Speaker 1: Josh Allen last year. And he would help a young

942
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:15,920
Speaker 1: quarterback no question, coming in to get acclimated, how to

943
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:18,799
Speaker 1: how to handle your day to day preparation, when to

944
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:21,160
Speaker 1: watch film, when to work out, when to get treatment,

945
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:23,239
Speaker 1: all of that kind of stuff that a young guy

946
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:25,920
Speaker 1: has to figure out on the fly. It's good to

947
00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:27,759
Speaker 1: have a veteran and the chase. Keenom would be able

948
00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:29,759
Speaker 1: to help him with that and be so. It looks

949
00:55:29,760 --> 00:55:32,920
Speaker 1: like with the Bills will be shopping for a backup quarterback.

950
00:55:33,719 --> 00:55:35,520
Speaker 1: There'll be guys out there. I mean there will be

951
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:38,239
Speaker 1: most guys when they sign know what their role is

952
00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:41,320
Speaker 1: going to be. It's not like you know, you hear occasionally,

953
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:44,799
Speaker 1: you know, like a few years ago, Andy Dalton said,

954
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 1: I want to a chance to compete as a start

955
00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:51,040
Speaker 1: for a starting job. Those I gotta starting jobs usually

956
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:55,960
Speaker 1: aren't up for competition, right, I mean usually it's like

957
00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:57,919
Speaker 1: this is the starter. You can come in and back

958
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:01,759
Speaker 1: him up. That's why it worked. So when it won't

959
00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:04,600
Speaker 1: be a problem to sign somebody to back Josh Allen up,

960
00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:06,560
Speaker 1: it's going to be a great ride for whoever it is,

961
00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:10,200
Speaker 1: and it's a chance to be on a team that's

962
00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:11,879
Speaker 1: going to win a lot of games. And we've seen

963
00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:15,280
Speaker 1: this coaching staff go go younger with their backup quarterbacks.

964
00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:18,520
Speaker 1: We've seen this coaching staff go older with their backup quarterbacks.

965
00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:21,279
Speaker 1: So it's not like they've tried to go one way

966
00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:25,359
Speaker 1: when signing a guy to back up Josh Allen. All Right,

967
00:56:25,680 --> 00:56:29,480
Speaker 1: switching gears just a little bit still offseason news, but

968
00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:34,880
Speaker 1: not necessarily free agency news. We've been releasing mock draft watches.

969
00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:38,600
Speaker 1: I've been scouring the internet to see who the analysts

970
00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:42,040
Speaker 1: think the Bills should pick with the twenty seventh overall

971
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:44,920
Speaker 1: pick in the twenty twenty three NFL Draft set to

972
00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:47,960
Speaker 1: begin at the end of April. So we had mock

973
00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:53,000
Speaker 1: Draft Watch three point zero that was released on Friday morning.

974
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:56,799
Speaker 1: And we've got to go through this tasker because there

975
00:56:56,800 --> 00:56:59,759
Speaker 1: are quite a few names in the latest crop. I

976
00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:04,360
Speaker 1: tracked just about thirty mocked draft watches. I've got to

977
00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:07,319
Speaker 1: say this year, they're being released at a rate that

978
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:09,920
Speaker 1: they weren't released at last year. It is hard to

979
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:11,680
Speaker 1: keep up, just like it's hard to keep up with

980
00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:14,760
Speaker 1: all this news. Let me tell you overall, I've tracked

981
00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:19,120
Speaker 1: seventy six mock drafts and it's just March thirteenth. All right,

982
00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:20,600
Speaker 1: How all right? How do you want to do this?

983
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:22,960
Speaker 1: You want me to guess positions? Yeah, let's let's let's

984
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:25,760
Speaker 1: play a little guessing game here. If you had to

985
00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:28,880
Speaker 1: guess a position that was mocked to the Bills the

986
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:32,000
Speaker 1: most in the latest crop, which would you gotta be?

987
00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:35,360
Speaker 1: It's gotta be offensive linemen either. Do I have to

988
00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:38,280
Speaker 1: discern between interior offensive linemen or tackles. It's got to

989
00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:42,560
Speaker 1: be offensive line. Tell me interior or offensive tackle. I

990
00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:46,400
Speaker 1: would say they probably They'll probably have you drafting tackles

991
00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:48,160
Speaker 1: because even if they're you know, you can move them

992
00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:51,080
Speaker 1: down inside. So I'd say tackle tackles. Okay, there were

993
00:57:51,080 --> 00:57:54,000
Speaker 1: two tackles mocked to the Buffalo Bills out of how many?

994
00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:57,600
Speaker 1: Out of twenty nine total mock drafts, only two tackles?

995
00:57:57,680 --> 00:58:01,480
Speaker 1: Only two tackles? All right? Interior offensive line, though that

996
00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:04,040
Speaker 1: name was off the charts. That position group was off

997
00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:08,360
Speaker 1: the charts. Eight interior offensive linemen are being mocked to

998
00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:12,160
Speaker 1: the Bills at that number twenty seven pick, but this

999
00:58:12,240 --> 00:58:14,840
Speaker 1: could change based on the news that came out based

1000
00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:18,760
Speaker 1: on reports saying that Connor McGovern, an interior offensive lineman,

1001
00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:21,959
Speaker 1: is heading to the Buffalo Bills on a three year deal.

1002
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:25,120
Speaker 1: So interior offensive line and this latest crop was the

1003
00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:27,280
Speaker 1: most popular. Number two. Do you want to guess a

1004
00:58:27,360 --> 00:58:31,240
Speaker 1: position group was the second most mocked position group to

1005
00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:37,520
Speaker 1: the Bills. Linebacker, You're close, it is defense, but safety

1006
00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:43,160
Speaker 1: five safeties were mocked to the Bills. Running Back actually sorry,

1007
00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:46,360
Speaker 1: running back was number two. Oh really yeah, running back

1008
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:50,920
Speaker 1: at twenty seven, and safety was mocked to the Bills

1009
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:54,640
Speaker 1: five times. Other position groups we already said offensive tackle

1010
00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:58,440
Speaker 1: had two. Wide receiver four times was mocked to the Bills,

1011
00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:01,760
Speaker 1: and linebacker was a new name that we've started to

1012
00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:05,200
Speaker 1: see pop up more than before, but only being mocked

1013
00:59:05,200 --> 00:59:08,080
Speaker 1: to the Bills three times out of the latest crop,

1014
00:59:08,120 --> 00:59:11,520
Speaker 1: which was around thirty total mock drafts. I'd like to

1015
00:59:11,560 --> 00:59:15,040
Speaker 1: have a conversation about how people feel about the Bills

1016
00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:19,240
Speaker 1: being mind and if they did it, what would it either,

1017
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:22,120
Speaker 1: what would it take for it to happen? And people

1018
00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:24,840
Speaker 1: be okay with it? Or maybe if nothing, if if

1019
00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:26,680
Speaker 1: everything was as it is and they had a chance

1020
00:59:26,680 --> 00:59:29,960
Speaker 1: that this guy, Bijean Robinson, the number one running back

1021
00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:32,240
Speaker 1: in the draft, what would people think if the Bills

1022
00:59:32,280 --> 00:59:35,480
Speaker 1: drafted him? Because I'm I told you today, I'd jump

1023
00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:37,240
Speaker 1: on a table and say no, you can't do it,

1024
00:59:37,520 --> 00:59:39,880
Speaker 1: you cannot do it. I think people could get on

1025
00:59:39,920 --> 00:59:43,360
Speaker 1: board with it. I think with Connor McGovern on the

1026
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:46,960
Speaker 1: roster now, I think at first you're thinking, why does

1027
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:49,720
Speaker 1: this team need another running back based on who they have,

1028
00:59:49,880 --> 00:59:52,920
Speaker 1: based on James Cook taking a bigger role in this

1029
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:56,320
Speaker 1: offense possibly this season, and Niheim Hines as well taking

1030
00:59:56,360 --> 01:00:00,360
Speaker 1: a bigger role on offense this season, do you need

1031
01:00:00,440 --> 01:00:02,760
Speaker 1: a third guy? If you get a third guy, does

1032
01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:05,520
Speaker 1: he jump above both of those two guys, the guy

1033
01:00:05,520 --> 01:00:07,320
Speaker 1: in number one in the draft? In front of those

1034
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:09,880
Speaker 1: two guys, Do you want to address twenty seven with

1035
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:13,480
Speaker 1: the number with a different position group rather than running back?

1036
01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:16,520
Speaker 1: My saying I say no because because of the other

1037
01:00:16,520 --> 01:00:21,600
Speaker 1: stuff in the draft. Even if even if you fix

1038
01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:24,640
Speaker 1: your offensive line or fix it any finger quote, I mean,

1039
01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:26,800
Speaker 1: what will it take from what would it take for

1040
01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:29,760
Speaker 1: me to get okay with that? You'd have to address

1041
01:00:29,800 --> 01:00:32,760
Speaker 1: a lot of your agency. We'd have to we would

1042
01:00:32,760 --> 01:00:34,080
Speaker 1: have to have on the roster some of the guys

1043
01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:36,640
Speaker 1: that have already been signed by their teams. Yeah, you know,

1044
01:00:36,840 --> 01:00:41,480
Speaker 1: we'd have to have guys like you know McGlinchey been powers,

1045
01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:43,960
Speaker 1: which is not going to happen, right, they're already they've

1046
01:00:43,960 --> 01:00:46,160
Speaker 1: already signed. You know, we'd have to have the you know,

1047
01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:48,560
Speaker 1: the guy that signed the defensive lineman that signed with

1048
01:00:48,560 --> 01:00:53,520
Speaker 1: the Niners. We got to have him, and we got

1049
01:00:53,600 --> 01:00:56,479
Speaker 1: a trade for the Denver all three receivers at Denver.

1050
01:00:56,880 --> 01:00:59,600
Speaker 1: Jerry Judy's got to be on our team. So tasker

1051
01:00:59,800 --> 01:01:06,160
Speaker 1: is out. All capitals out on Beijean Robinson. So he

1052
01:01:06,280 --> 01:01:09,440
Speaker 1: was mocked to the Bills six times. He was tied

1053
01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:13,040
Speaker 1: for most popular name out of this crop of mocked

1054
01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:15,640
Speaker 1: drafts that I tracked. You want to guess who else

1055
01:01:15,840 --> 01:01:18,560
Speaker 1: is the most popular name that was also mocked to

1056
01:01:18,560 --> 01:01:21,160
Speaker 1: the Bills six times. I've seen this name before. I

1057
01:01:21,480 --> 01:01:27,280
Speaker 1: can take a chance, Duan Jones. O Cyrus Torrents from Florida.

1058
01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:30,080
Speaker 1: He's a guard. Yeah, he's a guard that's been mocked

1059
01:01:30,120 --> 01:01:33,360
Speaker 1: to the Bills quite a few times. O Cyrus Torrens

1060
01:01:33,400 --> 01:01:37,640
Speaker 1: out of Florida. But you know, since Bijean Robinson is

1061
01:01:37,720 --> 01:01:40,840
Speaker 1: the number one name in terms of popularity that has

1062
01:01:40,840 --> 01:01:43,280
Speaker 1: been mocked to the Bills, I don't have an exact number,

1063
01:01:43,280 --> 01:01:46,640
Speaker 1: but he is by far the favorite name for the

1064
01:01:46,640 --> 01:01:48,920
Speaker 1: Bills at number twenty seven at this point out of

1065
01:01:48,920 --> 01:01:51,560
Speaker 1: the seventy six mock drafts that I've tracked. So we

1066
01:01:51,640 --> 01:01:54,160
Speaker 1: might as well talk about him. Even if you don't

1067
01:01:54,240 --> 01:01:57,560
Speaker 1: love the idea of him tasking, we've got to talk

1068
01:01:57,600 --> 01:02:01,440
Speaker 1: about him. I will say this, if a guy like

1069
01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:03,240
Speaker 1: him comes in and they started giving him the ball

1070
01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:05,240
Speaker 1: and he starts doing the stuff like he did in Texas,

1071
01:02:05,240 --> 01:02:08,080
Speaker 1: I'll be okay with Yeah. I will be totally okay

1072
01:02:08,360 --> 01:02:11,800
Speaker 1: because he's just like that. It's fine. He's a dude. Now,

1073
01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:15,840
Speaker 1: I'm not kidding you. He is a dude. He's big,

1074
01:02:15,840 --> 01:02:18,720
Speaker 1: he's heavy, and he's fast, and he can move. He's

1075
01:02:18,760 --> 01:02:20,520
Speaker 1: got he's out all of that. Man, he's got all

1076
01:02:20,520 --> 01:02:23,960
Speaker 1: of that. If yeah, it's my my on running joke

1077
01:02:24,120 --> 01:02:27,280
Speaker 1: is if I was built by big John Robinson and

1078
01:02:27,360 --> 01:02:29,439
Speaker 1: I'm sixty, if I was built like he might still

1079
01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:32,000
Speaker 1: be playing. That guy has got it. I mean, he's

1080
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:36,320
Speaker 1: got some traits that guy, so it wouldn't take much

1081
01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:37,600
Speaker 1: for me to get on board them when I start

1082
01:02:37,640 --> 01:02:42,600
Speaker 1: seeing him play. So Bejean Robinson. He's five eleven, two fifteen.

1083
01:02:42,640 --> 01:02:45,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna read some of these stats here, plenty big. Yeah.

1084
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:48,240
Speaker 1: He had thirty three rushing touchdowns over his three year

1085
01:02:48,280 --> 01:02:51,200
Speaker 1: career in average six point three yards per carry. That's

1086
01:02:51,240 --> 01:02:54,400
Speaker 1: an incredible number to average over your career, not just

1087
01:02:54,520 --> 01:02:57,960
Speaker 1: one season. In twenty twenty two, he had over fifteen

1088
01:02:58,040 --> 01:03:01,320
Speaker 1: hundred rushing yards eighteen rushing time downs. Also had three

1089
01:03:01,400 --> 01:03:04,440
Speaker 1: hundred fourteen receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns, So he

1090
01:03:04,480 --> 01:03:06,440
Speaker 1: has the ability to not only affect teams in the

1091
01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:10,000
Speaker 1: run game, he is also a pass catching running back.

1092
01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:13,120
Speaker 1: When you turn on the tape on him, he looks

1093
01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:17,120
Speaker 1: like a very strong runner. He's somebody who has incredible balance.

1094
01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:20,040
Speaker 1: He cannot be knocked off his feet. He looks like

1095
01:03:20,120 --> 01:03:24,120
Speaker 1: he's hard to take down. He can change directions at will.

1096
01:03:24,520 --> 01:03:27,760
Speaker 1: It looks effortless with him. You turn on his tape

1097
01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:30,160
Speaker 1: and it just looks like this guy was meant to

1098
01:03:30,160 --> 01:03:32,480
Speaker 1: play running back at a really high level. Looks like

1099
01:03:32,520 --> 01:03:35,080
Speaker 1: he's been doing it for way longer. Than just his

1100
01:03:35,080 --> 01:03:38,960
Speaker 1: college football career. He had a monster season in Texas,

1101
01:03:38,960 --> 01:03:42,000
Speaker 1: a monster season. They gave it to him a lot.

1102
01:03:42,040 --> 01:03:44,280
Speaker 1: He made the most of it. He got a chance

1103
01:03:44,320 --> 01:03:47,200
Speaker 1: to show his athleticism three hundred yards receiving. I don't

1104
01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:50,200
Speaker 1: know how much Texas throws it, but I'll tell you what,

1105
01:03:50,240 --> 01:03:52,000
Speaker 1: when they handed it to him, the guy knew what

1106
01:03:52,040 --> 01:03:54,160
Speaker 1: to do with it. He was you know, he's great

1107
01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:57,120
Speaker 1: in the open field, breaks, tackles, big enough, nice, hard

1108
01:03:57,160 --> 01:03:58,720
Speaker 1: nos run. I mean, he's got all of it. He

1109
01:03:58,760 --> 01:04:01,320
Speaker 1: attacks the inside and the outside. That's something that you'd

1110
01:04:01,400 --> 01:04:03,880
Speaker 1: like to see out of running back. And he's head

1111
01:04:03,880 --> 01:04:06,640
Speaker 1: back to back one thousand yards seasons back in the day,

1112
01:04:07,360 --> 01:04:10,320
Speaker 1: in the seventies and eighties when I was just coming

1113
01:04:10,320 --> 01:04:12,680
Speaker 1: in the league or just in the league. The guy's

1114
01:04:12,720 --> 01:04:15,560
Speaker 1: a top ten pick. Yeah, this is the best running

1115
01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:18,760
Speaker 1: back in the NFL draft this season. He's a top

1116
01:04:18,760 --> 01:04:21,640
Speaker 1: ten pick. This is the guy. So he's got that

1117
01:04:21,720 --> 01:04:24,840
Speaker 1: kind of talent. And also I think it seems to

1118
01:04:24,840 --> 01:04:28,400
Speaker 1: me too in this day and age now. He's not

1119
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:31,320
Speaker 1: the kind of guy you're gonna split out wide, you know,

1120
01:04:31,360 --> 01:04:33,240
Speaker 1: and he's not gonna run routes. But he does run

1121
01:04:33,440 --> 01:04:35,920
Speaker 1: routes out of the backfield and does it well enough

1122
01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:38,640
Speaker 1: to catch it. So I'm yes, that guy. I mean,

1123
01:04:38,680 --> 01:04:42,720
Speaker 1: if you're gonna take one, he's the guy. Yeah, I'm philosophically,

1124
01:04:43,760 --> 01:04:45,680
Speaker 1: that's not where I'm at in my head today. So

1125
01:04:45,720 --> 01:04:48,919
Speaker 1: he ran a four four six, and early on when

1126
01:04:48,920 --> 01:04:50,720
Speaker 1: the mock draft started to come out, or at least

1127
01:04:50,720 --> 01:04:53,960
Speaker 1: when we started to track them right after this season

1128
01:04:54,160 --> 01:04:57,440
Speaker 1: was over, people were saying, you know, Bijean Robinson, Yeah,

1129
01:04:57,480 --> 01:04:59,360
Speaker 1: he's being mocked to the Bills at number twenty seven.

1130
01:04:59,520 --> 01:05:01,760
Speaker 1: But as we get closer and closer to the NFL Draft,

1131
01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:04,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna see his name go up on the draft boards.

1132
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:06,360
Speaker 1: You're gonna see him possibly go in the teens in

1133
01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:08,600
Speaker 1: the early twenties, not really be available for the Bills

1134
01:05:08,640 --> 01:05:10,920
Speaker 1: to choose at number twenty seven. He ran a four

1135
01:05:11,040 --> 01:05:14,680
Speaker 1: four to six, not as fat, Yeah, but some people

1136
01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:18,320
Speaker 1: thought he could have gone faster. And the mock drafts

1137
01:05:18,360 --> 01:05:22,560
Speaker 1: that I've been tracking still have him post combines still

1138
01:05:22,600 --> 01:05:24,880
Speaker 1: have him being at that number twenty seven spots. So

1139
01:05:24,920 --> 01:05:27,160
Speaker 1: who knows, maybe he will be available for the Bills

1140
01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:30,520
Speaker 1: to choose at number twenty seven. We'll see. He's a

1141
01:05:30,600 --> 01:05:33,880
Speaker 1: type of player that your offense changes because he's a

1142
01:05:33,920 --> 01:05:36,400
Speaker 1: part of it. How does his running back room look

1143
01:05:36,440 --> 01:05:38,880
Speaker 1: if he's a part of it. You have to address

1144
01:05:38,960 --> 01:05:43,120
Speaker 1: questions like that. But another name that isn't b Jean

1145
01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:45,280
Speaker 1: Robinson that's been mocked to the Bills a couple of times,

1146
01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:48,040
Speaker 1: that's a running back at number twenty seven is an

1147
01:05:48,080 --> 01:05:52,960
Speaker 1: Alabama kid, Jamir Gibbs. He's five nine, one ninety nine

1148
01:05:53,000 --> 01:05:55,680
Speaker 1: pounds and he's a name that I think I've seen

1149
01:05:56,560 --> 01:05:59,160
Speaker 1: three to five times. He's definitely not a favorite, But

1150
01:05:59,200 --> 01:06:01,600
Speaker 1: I thought we'd all so talk about another running back.

1151
01:06:01,640 --> 01:06:04,080
Speaker 1: If we're talking about Bijean Robinson here, we can talk

1152
01:06:04,080 --> 01:06:05,840
Speaker 1: about the running backs today and just get it out

1153
01:06:05,840 --> 01:06:07,760
Speaker 1: of the way. So Tasker, you don't have to hear

1154
01:06:07,800 --> 01:06:14,240
Speaker 1: about this anymore. I don't I don't not like running backs.

1155
01:06:14,320 --> 01:06:17,280
Speaker 1: I'm just saying it so. Jamir Gibbs spent twenty twenty

1156
01:06:17,360 --> 01:06:20,880
Speaker 1: twenty one with Georgia Tech. When he was at Alabama

1157
01:06:20,920 --> 01:06:23,600
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two, he played in nine games. He

1158
01:06:23,640 --> 01:06:26,600
Speaker 1: had six hundred thirty two rushing yards three rushing touchdowns.

1159
01:06:26,680 --> 01:06:30,240
Speaker 1: Also had three hundred fifty receiving yards and three receiving touchdowns.

1160
01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:34,160
Speaker 1: This kid is fast. He's got quick feet, quick twitch,

1161
01:06:34,160 --> 01:06:37,480
Speaker 1: He's got torque to his body. He can change directions

1162
01:06:37,560 --> 01:06:40,920
Speaker 1: really quickly. He's somebody that accelerates as he puts his

1163
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:44,680
Speaker 1: hands on the ball. He's got soft hands. But I

1164
01:06:44,760 --> 01:06:47,360
Speaker 1: love his speed when you turn on the tape. He's

1165
01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:50,640
Speaker 1: somebody that's got breakaway speed, somebody that's hard to take

1166
01:06:50,640 --> 01:06:54,480
Speaker 1: town take down because of the ability in his torque

1167
01:06:54,480 --> 01:06:57,520
Speaker 1: to his body in the way he can change direction.

1168
01:06:57,800 --> 01:07:01,440
Speaker 1: He ran a four to three six faster than be

1169
01:07:01,560 --> 01:07:05,240
Speaker 1: Jean Robinson faster, That's for sure. He does have great

1170
01:07:05,320 --> 01:07:09,400
Speaker 1: change of direction and breakaway speed. Um, he's a you know,

1171
01:07:09,560 --> 01:07:11,600
Speaker 1: like you said, he's a five nine two hundred pounds

1172
01:07:11,680 --> 01:07:17,920
Speaker 1: right at two hundred pounds, and you know he he's

1173
01:07:17,960 --> 01:07:19,840
Speaker 1: another one. I mean, both those guys I think are

1174
01:07:19,840 --> 01:07:23,160
Speaker 1: gonna have great pro careers. Um. The question is how

1175
01:07:23,240 --> 01:07:26,480
Speaker 1: much do you value the spot and how and how

1176
01:07:26,560 --> 01:07:27,960
Speaker 1: much is he going to be in? How much can

1177
01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:29,720
Speaker 1: you take? How much pressure can he take off? Josh?

1178
01:07:30,120 --> 01:07:32,280
Speaker 1: Basically for you, if you're gonna draft him in Buffalo,

1179
01:07:32,800 --> 01:07:37,680
Speaker 1: how can be Jean Robinson or Jamir Gibbs or another one? Uh, Devin,

1180
01:07:38,040 --> 01:07:42,840
Speaker 1: And how you say shanee, ah A and e. How

1181
01:07:42,880 --> 01:07:45,200
Speaker 1: do you how how much are they gonna help Josh

1182
01:07:45,240 --> 01:07:47,600
Speaker 1: that's the name of it. How much are they going

1183
01:07:47,640 --> 01:07:51,400
Speaker 1: to be able to help Josh Allen in this offense?

1184
01:07:51,520 --> 01:07:55,080
Speaker 1: And how much are you gonna get above James Cook? Yeah,

1185
01:07:55,120 --> 01:07:58,280
Speaker 1: and that's that's the question that needs to be answered.

1186
01:07:58,320 --> 01:08:00,600
Speaker 1: And when you look at how running back were used

1187
01:08:00,640 --> 01:08:03,480
Speaker 1: in this offense this past year, it's not like a

1188
01:08:03,560 --> 01:08:06,400
Speaker 1: running back was treated like Steffon Digs because of the

1189
01:08:06,440 --> 01:08:09,200
Speaker 1: type of quarterback that you have playing the position for

1190
01:08:09,400 --> 01:08:13,200
Speaker 1: the Bills. But this is an offense where a lot

1191
01:08:13,240 --> 01:08:16,120
Speaker 1: of people looked at it and said, it looks like

1192
01:08:16,200 --> 01:08:19,120
Speaker 1: too much as on Josh Allen. It looks like the

1193
01:08:19,520 --> 01:08:21,840
Speaker 1: ball needs to be whether it's you need to add

1194
01:08:21,880 --> 01:08:24,200
Speaker 1: to the wide receiver position or you need to add

1195
01:08:24,240 --> 01:08:27,280
Speaker 1: to the running back position. It just looks like Josh

1196
01:08:27,320 --> 01:08:29,479
Speaker 1: Allen is doing too much of the work. He was

1197
01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:33,120
Speaker 1: the leading rusher for this team. Last season. The Bills

1198
01:08:33,120 --> 01:08:36,200
Speaker 1: were seventh in the NFL, averaging I think one hundred

1199
01:08:36,200 --> 01:08:39,360
Speaker 1: and thirty nine rushing yards per game because Josh Allen

1200
01:08:39,439 --> 01:08:44,280
Speaker 1: had a big bulk of that. But the Bills also

1201
01:08:44,360 --> 01:08:46,360
Speaker 1: won a lot of games when Josh touched the ball

1202
01:08:46,360 --> 01:08:48,760
Speaker 1: ten or more times I believe was the stat. They

1203
01:08:48,800 --> 01:08:52,360
Speaker 1: just had a couple losses really since he started to

1204
01:08:52,400 --> 01:08:55,040
Speaker 1: play in Buffalo. So you want him to be involved

1205
01:08:55,040 --> 01:08:57,160
Speaker 1: in that run game to send us to some degree,

1206
01:08:57,200 --> 01:09:00,880
Speaker 1: because that's part of what makes him superman, But you

1207
01:09:00,920 --> 01:09:03,479
Speaker 1: don't want him to have to be the leading rusher

1208
01:09:03,640 --> 01:09:08,519
Speaker 1: every single game. So you got these two guys, guy runs.

1209
01:09:08,560 --> 01:09:10,000
Speaker 1: One guy runs a four to three to six, the

1210
01:09:10,040 --> 01:09:12,519
Speaker 1: other runs a four four to six. And then you've

1211
01:09:12,560 --> 01:09:15,800
Speaker 1: got this other guy that's and these guys are once

1212
01:09:15,880 --> 01:09:19,639
Speaker 1: five nine two hundred, the other's five eleven two fifteen.

1213
01:09:19,680 --> 01:09:21,599
Speaker 1: And you got this other guy that's five eleven one

1214
01:09:21,840 --> 01:09:26,400
Speaker 1: ninety and he runs a four four two. So you

1215
01:09:26,479 --> 01:09:28,920
Speaker 1: got Bijean Robinson who's five eleven runs a four four

1216
01:09:28,920 --> 01:09:33,400
Speaker 1: to six. Jamir Gibbs out of Alabama's five nine buck

1217
01:09:33,479 --> 01:09:36,439
Speaker 1: ninety nine. And then you've got James Cook who's five eleven,

1218
01:09:36,520 --> 01:09:38,519
Speaker 1: one ninety he ran the four to four two. They're

1219
01:09:38,640 --> 01:09:40,800
Speaker 1: not all the same guy. And do you if you

1220
01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:42,800
Speaker 1: were going to add to your running back room, would

1221
01:09:42,800 --> 01:09:46,160
Speaker 1: you rather have somebody that's different? Right? I mean I

1222
01:09:46,680 --> 01:09:49,880
Speaker 1: get that right now. Bijean Robinson's different guys. He is different,

1223
01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:52,840
Speaker 1: he's a half size or jam Gibbs maybe a little bit.

1224
01:09:53,280 --> 01:09:57,439
Speaker 1: Gibbs the same guy. Now I get it too. If

1225
01:09:57,479 --> 01:09:59,559
Speaker 1: those guys have the skill set you want, and your

1226
01:09:59,560 --> 01:10:01,680
Speaker 1: offensive corner says, we want a guy that does this,

1227
01:10:02,080 --> 01:10:04,240
Speaker 1: it's great to have two of them, Yes, because you

1228
01:10:04,280 --> 01:10:06,559
Speaker 1: can do this thing like the Bills, like you keep

1229
01:10:06,600 --> 01:10:09,920
Speaker 1: them fresh, three active running backs on the game day roster.

1230
01:10:10,120 --> 01:10:12,559
Speaker 1: You keep them fresh and you run them in that way.

1231
01:10:12,680 --> 01:10:15,599
Speaker 1: When when when Jean Robinson goes in and say, well,

1232
01:10:15,640 --> 01:10:17,599
Speaker 1: they're not gonna do this, this or this, They're gonna

1233
01:10:17,600 --> 01:10:20,800
Speaker 1: do this or this, But when Jamir Gibbs and James

1234
01:10:20,800 --> 01:10:23,839
Speaker 1: Cooker in there, they'll do everything because of the same guy.

1235
01:10:24,080 --> 01:10:25,600
Speaker 1: And not only there gonna do everything, You're gonna do

1236
01:10:25,600 --> 01:10:30,400
Speaker 1: it fresh because he's he's in now, right, that could

1237
01:10:30,439 --> 01:10:33,760
Speaker 1: be a philosoph philosophical thing for their offense. If you

1238
01:10:33,800 --> 01:10:36,240
Speaker 1: want two running backs that are kind of the same,

1239
01:10:36,960 --> 01:10:40,040
Speaker 1: very gifted, you have confidence in both of them, and

1240
01:10:40,120 --> 01:10:42,840
Speaker 1: you go with a hot hand or you or you're

1241
01:10:42,920 --> 01:10:45,599
Speaker 1: unpredictable because you can put either guy in and if

1242
01:10:45,640 --> 01:10:47,519
Speaker 1: one guy goes down, you don't have to change anything.

1243
01:10:47,960 --> 01:10:52,920
Speaker 1: There's that. It's interesting. It's interesting James Cook is there.

1244
01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:54,439
Speaker 1: I mean, James Cook is right in the mix with

1245
01:10:54,479 --> 01:10:58,240
Speaker 1: these two guys. And then if you address your needs

1246
01:10:58,240 --> 01:11:03,000
Speaker 1: in free agency, Brandon Bean has said in the NFL Draft,

1247
01:11:03,120 --> 01:11:05,280
Speaker 1: we want to go after Wance. We don't want to

1248
01:11:05,320 --> 01:11:07,639
Speaker 1: have to be addressing needs and free agency. We want

1249
01:11:07,640 --> 01:11:10,040
Speaker 1: to go after want. We want to go after best available.

1250
01:11:11,040 --> 01:11:14,599
Speaker 1: So does that happen when they get to number twenty seven?

1251
01:11:14,680 --> 01:11:17,240
Speaker 1: Based on what happens to this team in free agency,

1252
01:11:17,479 --> 01:11:19,439
Speaker 1: do they feel like they're at a position when they

1253
01:11:19,439 --> 01:11:22,679
Speaker 1: can truly take best available? Now? Best available for them

1254
01:11:22,720 --> 01:11:26,120
Speaker 1: could be graded differently with position groups based on what

1255
01:11:26,160 --> 01:11:29,960
Speaker 1: they think could be more important to this roster. Maybe

1256
01:11:30,040 --> 01:11:34,160
Speaker 1: running running back is not graded as highly as another

1257
01:11:34,280 --> 01:11:37,920
Speaker 1: position group based on how the scouting staff, the scouting

1258
01:11:37,920 --> 01:11:41,400
Speaker 1: department thinks could add to this team in twenty twenty three.

1259
01:11:41,439 --> 01:11:44,599
Speaker 1: But number twenty seven, whoever you pick, you want something

1260
01:11:44,640 --> 01:11:47,160
Speaker 1: out of him in his first season as a rookie

1261
01:11:47,200 --> 01:11:52,360
Speaker 1: on this team. Running back is it's different because they

1262
01:11:52,439 --> 01:11:56,639
Speaker 1: drafted one last year and they just restructured another one

1263
01:11:56,880 --> 01:11:59,840
Speaker 1: who they've been saying, especially as this team hit the

1264
01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:02,320
Speaker 1: off season, is a name that they want to add

1265
01:12:02,360 --> 01:12:05,639
Speaker 1: and fold into this offense even more in twenty twenty

1266
01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:08,800
Speaker 1: three in Nahem Hines. So how does Bijean fit. I

1267
01:12:08,840 --> 01:12:12,800
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know. Resigning Hines and getting him

1268
01:12:12,840 --> 01:12:14,479
Speaker 1: in the fold. And I think one of the things

1269
01:12:14,520 --> 01:12:16,840
Speaker 1: that happened last year and we heard was that, you know,

1270
01:12:16,880 --> 01:12:20,720
Speaker 1: he came over from Indianapolis and their offense in Indianapolis

1271
01:12:20,720 --> 01:12:22,360
Speaker 1: and the one they ran here in Buffalo was so

1272
01:12:22,479 --> 01:12:25,519
Speaker 1: vastly different. He had a hard time forgetting what he

1273
01:12:25,560 --> 01:12:27,960
Speaker 1: had been learning and then grained into him and had

1274
01:12:28,120 --> 01:12:30,920
Speaker 1: picking up the Bills offense. He couldn't you know. They

1275
01:12:30,920 --> 01:12:32,960
Speaker 1: just didn't feel he didn't feel confident running it, and

1276
01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:34,560
Speaker 1: they didn't feel confident that he's gonna be able to

1277
01:12:34,560 --> 01:12:36,160
Speaker 1: know what he was doing. So he didn't get a

1278
01:12:36,240 --> 01:12:40,240
Speaker 1: chance to really contribute to the Bills offense. With a

1279
01:12:40,280 --> 01:12:43,639
Speaker 1: full offseason, the OTAs and all of that, certainly that'll

1280
01:12:43,680 --> 01:12:45,479
Speaker 1: be alleviated and they'll be able to say, Okay, now

1281
01:12:45,520 --> 01:12:47,679
Speaker 1: go out and run the route and he'll be able

1282
01:12:47,720 --> 01:12:52,559
Speaker 1: to do it. That's big. And having resigned him and

1283
01:12:52,680 --> 01:12:56,080
Speaker 1: his return abilities, I mean, he's Nahem Hines is not

1284
01:12:56,160 --> 01:12:58,320
Speaker 1: going anywhere he's gonna be on the team. There's no

1285
01:12:58,360 --> 01:13:01,000
Speaker 1: way he's not. No way he's not even though we

1286
01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:04,519
Speaker 1: were calling because he had this price tag. The guy

1287
01:13:04,560 --> 01:13:08,320
Speaker 1: can play, so he's gonna be here. And you got

1288
01:13:08,400 --> 01:13:11,360
Speaker 1: James Cook the way that he had ended his rookie season,

1289
01:13:11,479 --> 01:13:15,720
Speaker 1: James Cook, you would think you there's gonna be a

1290
01:13:15,760 --> 01:13:19,360
Speaker 1: bigger role for him next season. Is the twenty seventh

1291
01:13:19,360 --> 01:13:25,080
Speaker 1: pick of the draft worth giving up for what you're

1292
01:13:25,120 --> 01:13:28,080
Speaker 1: gonna for the role that a running back that you

1293
01:13:28,200 --> 01:13:31,160
Speaker 1: draft is gonna take up away from James Cook, a

1294
01:13:31,320 --> 01:13:34,280
Speaker 1: Naheem Hims and another guy. So you got those three

1295
01:13:34,320 --> 01:13:37,040
Speaker 1: guys in there. Is that that guy you draft, is

1296
01:13:37,080 --> 01:13:39,639
Speaker 1: he gonna take away from James Cook and Naheim Hines?

1297
01:13:40,040 --> 01:13:42,280
Speaker 1: Or is the twenty seventh pick gonna gonna be mixed

1298
01:13:42,320 --> 01:13:44,360
Speaker 1: in with those three? And you're gonna waste not waste,

1299
01:13:44,360 --> 01:13:46,640
Speaker 1: But I don't want to color you're thinking, yeah, but

1300
01:13:46,760 --> 01:13:48,439
Speaker 1: you're gonna use that twenty seventh pick for a guy

1301
01:13:48,439 --> 01:13:51,160
Speaker 1: who's gonna be a third of the running back corps?

1302
01:13:52,280 --> 01:13:53,519
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? I just don't think you're

1303
01:13:53,520 --> 01:13:55,160
Speaker 1: gonna get enough out of that no matter who it is.

1304
01:13:55,160 --> 01:13:59,360
Speaker 1: If it's Earl Campbell. Yeah, unless unless he's James Cook,

1305
01:13:59,360 --> 01:14:01,880
Speaker 1: he's gonna sit on the bench this whole year. The

1306
01:14:01,920 --> 01:14:05,880
Speaker 1: way this offense operates, there's not going to be that

1307
01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:08,479
Speaker 1: number one running back that's going to get twenty carries

1308
01:14:08,520 --> 01:14:14,479
Speaker 1: a game. Right. I'll say this though, this club use

1309
01:14:14,600 --> 01:14:18,120
Speaker 1: first round draft picks a defensive end, a position they

1310
01:14:18,160 --> 01:14:20,640
Speaker 1: always rotate through. Nobody gets more than thirty percent of

1311
01:14:20,640 --> 01:14:24,479
Speaker 1: the snaps. So they will use a number one pick

1312
01:14:24,560 --> 01:14:28,200
Speaker 1: on a role player if it's an important enough spot. Yeah. Right.

1313
01:14:28,240 --> 01:14:32,599
Speaker 1: They've proven it with Ed Oliver, with Greg Rousseau. They

1314
01:14:32,640 --> 01:14:36,280
Speaker 1: signed Vaughan to a big deal. That's a lot of

1315
01:14:36,280 --> 01:14:38,200
Speaker 1: assets to tie up in a position. Now that's an

1316
01:14:38,200 --> 01:14:43,080
Speaker 1: important position. Pass rusher. Oh yeah, they'll do it if

1317
01:14:43,120 --> 01:14:46,880
Speaker 1: they think the guy can make a difference if they

1318
01:14:47,000 --> 01:14:49,680
Speaker 1: If they do that, I think the guy's going to

1319
01:14:49,720 --> 01:14:54,040
Speaker 1: get a line share the He definitely would. He's the

1320
01:14:54,120 --> 01:14:56,760
Speaker 1: number one running back in the NFL draft. He can

1321
01:14:56,880 --> 01:14:59,840
Speaker 1: change a team on offense. That's what type of change.

1322
01:15:00,240 --> 01:15:03,000
Speaker 1: It depends on what offense he's going to. And he's

1323
01:15:03,000 --> 01:15:05,519
Speaker 1: been the favorite for the Bills so far at the

1324
01:15:05,920 --> 01:15:08,960
Speaker 1: out of the seventy six mock drafts we've tracked. That

1325
01:15:09,040 --> 01:15:12,439
Speaker 1: name has popped up so many times for the Bills.

1326
01:15:12,680 --> 01:15:14,599
Speaker 1: We're going to take a break here. When we return,

1327
01:15:15,320 --> 01:15:17,840
Speaker 1: Bruce Feldman of the Athletic is going to come on

1328
01:15:17,920 --> 01:15:20,599
Speaker 1: with us and talk a little bit more about this

1329
01:15:21,439 --> 01:15:25,519
Speaker 1: college football class of prospects that are coming out of

1330
01:15:25,560 --> 01:15:28,880
Speaker 1: college football and heading in to the NFL. So stick

1331
01:15:28,880 --> 01:15:30,840
Speaker 1: with us here on One Bills Live. We're presented by

1332
01:15:30,880 --> 01:15:39,559
Speaker 1: Clyda Health. This is Buffalo Bills Radio. All right, we

1333
01:15:39,600 --> 01:15:42,720
Speaker 1: hope to have the Athletics Bruce Feldman on with us

1334
01:15:42,760 --> 01:15:46,360
Speaker 1: here shortly. But let's get to this Twitter question that

1335
01:15:46,439 --> 01:15:49,280
Speaker 1: we have. What's the best plan of attack for Bills

1336
01:15:49,320 --> 01:15:53,400
Speaker 1: general manager Brandon Bean in free agency? And we've got

1337
01:15:53,439 --> 01:15:55,680
Speaker 1: a caller hanging on the line, so we'll go right

1338
01:15:55,720 --> 01:15:59,800
Speaker 1: to the phone lines. Mary from Amhersts, you're on with

1339
01:15:59,880 --> 01:16:06,439
Speaker 1: us us. I having to know, as Marie Good tell

1340
01:16:06,560 --> 01:16:08,439
Speaker 1: you today, doing good, what do you think the Bill

1341
01:16:08,520 --> 01:16:13,320
Speaker 1: should do in free agency? Here? Well, I think we

1342
01:16:13,360 --> 01:16:17,760
Speaker 1: should first pick up Marcus Mariota for a backup quarterback. Um,

1343
01:16:19,560 --> 01:16:22,200
Speaker 1: maybe we need to really trade that third round pick

1344
01:16:22,560 --> 01:16:26,000
Speaker 1: and get aggressive for Dalvin Cook or Derrick Henry. We

1345
01:16:26,040 --> 01:16:29,479
Speaker 1: need some power back there. I do agree that the

1346
01:16:29,560 --> 01:16:33,400
Speaker 1: two we got is amazing. And I think that with

1347
01:16:33,560 --> 01:16:38,240
Speaker 1: that first draft pick's where I think, you know, if

1348
01:16:38,240 --> 01:16:41,760
Speaker 1: you're gonna lose a Tremaine at Mens, you gotta go

1349
01:16:41,880 --> 01:16:47,439
Speaker 1: get like a Diane Henley who's very aggressive and he

1350
01:16:47,479 --> 01:16:50,960
Speaker 1: loves football, really good linebacker. Or I could see us

1351
01:16:51,000 --> 01:16:54,599
Speaker 1: going to get Antonio Johnson, the safety corner from Texas

1352
01:16:54,600 --> 01:16:58,479
Speaker 1: A and them, because he's big, power, physical, and the

1353
01:16:58,600 --> 01:17:02,639
Speaker 1: afcast and the entire EFC. We got to play these

1354
01:17:02,720 --> 01:17:06,120
Speaker 1: great running I mean, he's great wide receiver, so we

1355
01:17:06,240 --> 01:17:09,840
Speaker 1: gotta be able to contend with that. So we gotta

1356
01:17:09,920 --> 01:17:11,599
Speaker 1: figure that out. But I think we should go get

1357
01:17:11,640 --> 01:17:15,720
Speaker 1: Mariota this week and really get aggressive about trading that

1358
01:17:15,760 --> 01:17:18,320
Speaker 1: third pick. You're trading the third pick and chief you

1359
01:17:18,360 --> 01:17:21,040
Speaker 1: can get somebody like a Dalvin Cooker or Derrick Henry.

1360
01:17:21,080 --> 01:17:23,120
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry might be able to get for a third pick,

1361
01:17:23,160 --> 01:17:27,840
Speaker 1: except the fact that you've got you've got a you know,

1362
01:17:27,840 --> 01:17:30,000
Speaker 1: a big salary cap. You know, you got to deal

1363
01:17:30,000 --> 01:17:32,240
Speaker 1: with his number. The guy's getting a lot of money.

1364
01:17:32,600 --> 01:17:34,639
Speaker 1: That's a problem with Derrick Henry. Now, if you could

1365
01:17:34,640 --> 01:17:36,200
Speaker 1: get him to take a pay cut or whatever, I'm

1366
01:17:36,240 --> 01:17:38,600
Speaker 1: all for. But Derrick Henry makes too much money for

1367
01:17:38,640 --> 01:17:40,360
Speaker 1: a running back that's not going to take a hundred

1368
01:17:40,360 --> 01:17:43,559
Speaker 1: percent of the snap, So you know, I get the

1369
01:17:43,640 --> 01:17:47,519
Speaker 1: idea there. Marcus Mariota awesome. Yeah, he's a great dude.

1370
01:17:48,280 --> 01:17:52,400
Speaker 1: He's a he's built to be a backup quarterbacks the

1371
01:17:52,439 --> 01:17:55,280
Speaker 1: system in Buffalo. I've met, I've met and spoke with

1372
01:17:55,360 --> 01:17:57,160
Speaker 1: him back when he was first coming in the league,

1373
01:17:57,720 --> 01:18:02,560
Speaker 1: and he is he's got that mente a. He's a

1374
01:18:02,640 --> 01:18:05,479
Speaker 1: kind of a real team Guy's a great guy. Guys

1375
01:18:05,560 --> 01:18:07,200
Speaker 1: love him. But he's a quiet guy. He's not a

1376
01:18:07,280 --> 01:18:09,080
Speaker 1: vocal leaders, not a guy steps up and has a

1377
01:18:09,360 --> 01:18:12,400
Speaker 1: you know, think he's perfect for a quarterback room to

1378
01:18:12,479 --> 01:18:15,599
Speaker 1: have a starting quarterback to bounce things off of. So yeah,

1379
01:18:15,600 --> 01:18:18,280
Speaker 1: that's a that's a I like that name. Of course,

1380
01:18:18,360 --> 01:18:20,360
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook and Derek Henry. If you can fit him

1381
01:18:20,360 --> 01:18:22,559
Speaker 1: on your team, find a place for him. So yeah,

1382
01:18:22,600 --> 01:18:25,280
Speaker 1: I'm all why not? Thanks for the cole Marie all right.

1383
01:18:25,400 --> 01:18:28,599
Speaker 1: Bruce Feldman of The Athletic. He's a senior college football

1384
01:18:28,600 --> 01:18:32,040
Speaker 1: writer and insider for the Athletic. He's joining us now

1385
01:18:32,160 --> 01:18:35,080
Speaker 1: on One Bill's Live. Bruce, thanks for taking the time

1386
01:18:35,479 --> 01:18:38,040
Speaker 1: to be on with us quite a busy day as

1387
01:18:38,080 --> 01:18:41,840
Speaker 1: the legal tampering period started at twelve o'clock today, so

1388
01:18:41,920 --> 01:18:45,439
Speaker 1: a lot of news coming out an he takes within

1389
01:18:45,479 --> 01:18:48,960
Speaker 1: the first couple hours of where you've seen players going

1390
01:18:49,000 --> 01:18:53,080
Speaker 1: to or players being resigned to. Uh No, it's been

1391
01:18:53,120 --> 01:18:57,599
Speaker 1: interesting to me knowing you know, the Falcons new defensive

1392
01:18:57,640 --> 01:19:00,200
Speaker 1: coordinator Ryan Nielsen comes from the Saints, and you see

1393
01:19:00,240 --> 01:19:04,160
Speaker 1: David anya Mata, a defensive lineman who he helped develop there,

1394
01:19:04,320 --> 01:19:06,080
Speaker 1: bring him. I think what you're going to see as

1395
01:19:06,120 --> 01:19:09,640
Speaker 1: a lot of system fits of guys that may be

1396
01:19:09,720 --> 01:19:13,840
Speaker 1: a familiarity or plug plug into those things. Obviously there's

1397
01:19:13,880 --> 01:19:16,520
Speaker 1: some big fish out there as this thing keeps unfolding.

1398
01:19:17,840 --> 01:19:19,800
Speaker 1: But it's just another example of why the NFL is

1399
01:19:19,880 --> 01:19:21,400
Speaker 1: king because it's just you know, here we are in

1400
01:19:21,439 --> 01:19:23,360
Speaker 1: the middle of March, in the middle of bracket season

1401
01:19:23,400 --> 01:19:26,479
Speaker 1: of March madness, and if you're a football fan, you

1402
01:19:26,560 --> 01:19:28,920
Speaker 1: got to be locked to your Twitter feed. How do

1403
01:19:29,000 --> 01:19:31,000
Speaker 1: you think the trade at the top of the draft

1404
01:19:31,040 --> 01:19:35,000
Speaker 1: with Carolina and Chicago. I don't know. Chicago jumped right in,

1405
01:19:35,160 --> 01:19:37,880
Speaker 1: got a mid tier linebacker and t J. Warner those

1406
01:19:38,320 --> 01:19:40,160
Speaker 1: you know, how does that the trade at the top

1407
01:19:40,160 --> 01:19:41,760
Speaker 1: of the draft at this time of year. I know

1408
01:19:41,960 --> 01:19:45,160
Speaker 1: it probably doesn't affect free agency all that much, right,

1409
01:19:45,200 --> 01:19:47,080
Speaker 1: I mean, because that's kind of down the line for

1410
01:19:47,120 --> 01:19:50,600
Speaker 1: these clubs. What do you it makes for Carolina? It

1411
01:19:50,600 --> 01:19:52,800
Speaker 1: certainly affect it because they're not in the Derek car

1412
01:19:52,840 --> 01:19:54,960
Speaker 1: sweepstakes from you that anymore because they got the number

1413
01:19:54,960 --> 01:19:57,439
Speaker 1: one pick. You know, what does that trade mean at

1414
01:19:57,479 --> 01:20:01,479
Speaker 1: this time of year? Think it means that they really

1415
01:20:01,520 --> 01:20:05,240
Speaker 1: have a lot of strong feelings about one of the

1416
01:20:05,479 --> 01:20:08,280
Speaker 1: I think it's really three quarterbacks. I'm not sure if

1417
01:20:08,280 --> 01:20:10,799
Speaker 1: will Levis from what I heard. Now this could be wrong,

1418
01:20:10,880 --> 01:20:12,599
Speaker 1: but from what I heard coming out of being an

1419
01:20:12,600 --> 01:20:17,000
Speaker 1: Indie was in that group where you have CJ. Stroud,

1420
01:20:17,320 --> 01:20:20,200
Speaker 1: who I know the Panthers have, you have a lot

1421
01:20:20,240 --> 01:20:24,080
Speaker 1: of intrigue in. I mean, he looked terrific against Georgia,

1422
01:20:24,120 --> 01:20:25,880
Speaker 1: which is a high level defense with a lot of

1423
01:20:25,880 --> 01:20:29,200
Speaker 1: athletes in the last time he played. He's incredibly accurate.

1424
01:20:29,280 --> 01:20:31,559
Speaker 1: I know he's impressed a lot of people in their meetings.

1425
01:20:31,840 --> 01:20:36,120
Speaker 1: I know the Ohio State staff has given the Panthers

1426
01:20:36,120 --> 01:20:38,840
Speaker 1: and other teams some really high grades on what they

1427
01:20:38,840 --> 01:20:41,960
Speaker 1: think of his football smarts and everything. He is a

1428
01:20:42,120 --> 01:20:45,720
Speaker 1: bigger quarterback than He's not Josh Allen big obviously, but

1429
01:20:45,720 --> 01:20:48,360
Speaker 1: he is a much bigger quarterback than Bryce Young, who

1430
01:20:48,400 --> 01:20:53,080
Speaker 1: won the Heisman at Alabama. Bryce Young, you know, five ten,

1431
01:20:53,240 --> 01:20:56,760
Speaker 1: around two hundred pounds. I mean, there's gonna be durability

1432
01:20:56,840 --> 01:21:00,360
Speaker 1: concerns about him going into the NFL. ME and I

1433
01:21:00,400 --> 01:21:03,160
Speaker 1: know Bryce Young, he didn't throw there, but you know,

1434
01:21:03,280 --> 01:21:06,880
Speaker 1: had really done well in the interview process. People know

1435
01:21:06,960 --> 01:21:12,000
Speaker 1: he's really bright, can go through his routine and his process.

1436
01:21:12,240 --> 01:21:16,000
Speaker 1: He's really good at, you know, seeing the field, and

1437
01:21:16,040 --> 01:21:19,760
Speaker 1: he's obviously very mobile. The wild card in all this,

1438
01:21:19,840 --> 01:21:22,960
Speaker 1: and remember saying this with Cam Newton had a lot

1439
01:21:22,960 --> 01:21:26,760
Speaker 1: of success and with the Panthers is Anthony Richardson. Not

1440
01:21:26,840 --> 01:21:31,559
Speaker 1: quite as tall as Cam, even faster, a better arm.

1441
01:21:31,840 --> 01:21:33,960
Speaker 1: But he didn't you know, he had one year at

1442
01:21:34,000 --> 01:21:38,479
Speaker 1: Florida and was inconsistent. There's a lot to love, there's

1443
01:21:38,479 --> 01:21:41,960
Speaker 1: a lot to be a little bit leeria, But due

1444
01:21:41,960 --> 01:21:43,720
Speaker 1: to the Panthers, Are they one of the teams that

1445
01:21:43,800 --> 01:21:46,760
Speaker 1: fall in love with the potential of Anthony Richardson? I

1446
01:21:46,800 --> 01:21:49,439
Speaker 1: know of one team I talked to one quarterback coach

1447
01:21:49,760 --> 01:21:52,719
Speaker 1: who had Anthony Richardson as the highest quarterback on their board.

1448
01:21:53,720 --> 01:21:56,680
Speaker 1: Does you know did they make this big move to

1449
01:21:56,680 --> 01:21:58,439
Speaker 1: put a flag in the ground saying, you know what,

1450
01:21:58,800 --> 01:22:02,000
Speaker 1: we believe he has the most step side. We're going

1451
01:22:02,080 --> 01:22:04,559
Speaker 1: to do something similar to maybe that the Bills did

1452
01:22:05,040 --> 01:22:08,120
Speaker 1: when Josh Allen, who had played more but maybe not

1453
01:22:08,240 --> 01:22:12,519
Speaker 1: against the same level of competition. But we can trust

1454
01:22:12,640 --> 01:22:16,960
Speaker 1: big arm really really terrific athlete, you know, kind of

1455
01:22:17,040 --> 01:22:20,360
Speaker 1: learning the position, lean on his legs more and build

1456
01:22:20,400 --> 01:22:22,519
Speaker 1: around him. I think that's going to be fascinating to

1457
01:22:22,560 --> 01:22:25,000
Speaker 1: see what the Panthers end up doing. Yeah, I think

1458
01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:29,040
Speaker 1: it'll be also super fascinating to see where Anthony Richardson

1459
01:22:29,080 --> 01:22:32,400
Speaker 1: goes and what his career in the NFL is like.

1460
01:22:32,640 --> 01:22:34,479
Speaker 1: Since the Combine was just a couple of weeks ago,

1461
01:22:34,560 --> 01:22:37,160
Speaker 1: what were some of your biggest takeaways coming out of

1462
01:22:37,160 --> 01:22:41,000
Speaker 1: the scouting combine this year? You know, I think we

1463
01:22:41,120 --> 01:22:44,760
Speaker 1: saw two things. One, just from talking to some of

1464
01:22:44,760 --> 01:22:48,479
Speaker 1: the NFL coaches that I've met with in Indy was

1465
01:22:48,920 --> 01:22:51,360
Speaker 1: there's a lot of guys who are not as developed

1466
01:22:51,439 --> 01:22:54,840
Speaker 1: as they were in past years. And some of that

1467
01:22:55,120 --> 01:22:57,400
Speaker 1: people pointed to as guys in the portal and that's

1468
01:22:57,400 --> 01:23:03,559
Speaker 1: going to keep going where you know, whereas when you

1469
01:23:03,680 --> 01:23:06,519
Speaker 1: change programs, maybe you change weight programs, maybe you know,

1470
01:23:06,680 --> 01:23:10,200
Speaker 1: or there's just a little bit of a development thing

1471
01:23:10,680 --> 01:23:12,800
Speaker 1: that I think some of the coaches I spoke to

1472
01:23:13,600 --> 01:23:16,559
Speaker 1: had that on the radar. The other thing that really

1473
01:23:16,640 --> 01:23:19,240
Speaker 1: stood out is you have a lot of big, freaky

1474
01:23:19,320 --> 01:23:23,040
Speaker 1: tight ends in this draft. And I think you know,

1475
01:23:23,120 --> 01:23:25,760
Speaker 1: you saw last year, you've seen in recent years, whether

1476
01:23:25,800 --> 01:23:30,799
Speaker 1: it's George Kittle, you know, or Kelsey, you see that

1477
01:23:30,960 --> 01:23:33,160
Speaker 1: kind of weapon. And I think people look at some

1478
01:23:33,240 --> 01:23:35,760
Speaker 1: of these tight ends who are coming out, and there's

1479
01:23:35,760 --> 01:23:38,880
Speaker 1: a lot of them and their different sizes. Some you know,

1480
01:23:39,200 --> 01:23:42,519
Speaker 1: are maybe average size, and then you have some guys,

1481
01:23:43,080 --> 01:23:45,040
Speaker 1: you know, out of Georgia and out of you know,

1482
01:23:45,200 --> 01:23:48,240
Speaker 1: like Zach Coon's out of old dominions over six seven

1483
01:23:48,240 --> 01:23:50,680
Speaker 1: and vertical jumps forty inches. I think you're going to

1484
01:23:50,720 --> 01:23:54,479
Speaker 1: see some potential difference makers, maybe going even into the

1485
01:23:54,560 --> 01:23:58,880
Speaker 1: second and third round. Will Mallory out of Miami's running

1486
01:23:58,920 --> 01:24:02,479
Speaker 1: low four or five. You see the potential of some

1487
01:24:02,600 --> 01:24:05,040
Speaker 1: of these guys that I think, given what we saw

1488
01:24:05,160 --> 01:24:08,519
Speaker 1: how teams were using tight ends, this will be an

1489
01:24:08,560 --> 01:24:11,840
Speaker 1: interesting pieces as we get into maybe the first hundred

1490
01:24:11,880 --> 01:24:13,760
Speaker 1: picks of this draft. One of the things you put

1491
01:24:13,760 --> 01:24:15,559
Speaker 1: out every year that I kind of look forward to

1492
01:24:15,760 --> 01:24:21,840
Speaker 1: is your Freaks List, And amazingly your list this year

1493
01:24:22,000 --> 01:24:24,800
Speaker 1: comes out and I spoke one of those kids names

1494
01:24:24,880 --> 01:24:26,639
Speaker 1: right at the number one kid on your Freaks List

1495
01:24:26,680 --> 01:24:29,160
Speaker 1: is name I spoke out today as being a guy

1496
01:24:29,240 --> 01:24:31,040
Speaker 1: that I'd love to see the Bills take. It's this

1497
01:24:31,240 --> 01:24:35,280
Speaker 1: Mozzi Smith from Michigan tell us about this Freaks List,

1498
01:24:35,280 --> 01:24:37,200
Speaker 1: how it got started, and some of the guys this

1499
01:24:37,280 --> 01:24:41,360
Speaker 1: year the people can look for that they may not know. Yeah,

1500
01:24:41,800 --> 01:24:43,920
Speaker 1: it started about almost twenty years ago when I was

1501
01:24:43,960 --> 01:24:46,760
Speaker 1: at ESPN, and it really was about these guys you

1502
01:24:46,880 --> 01:24:50,599
Speaker 1: hear about inside certain football programs, and it was maybe

1503
01:24:50,640 --> 01:24:54,040
Speaker 1: they weren't the most productive players necessarily, but they were

1504
01:24:54,040 --> 01:24:56,479
Speaker 1: the guys people inside the program just kind of gushed about,

1505
01:24:56,520 --> 01:24:59,879
Speaker 1: either you know, super explosive athletes or just prove the athletes.

1506
01:25:00,240 --> 01:25:02,479
Speaker 1: And so we've had a lot of D linemen. But

1507
01:25:02,520 --> 01:25:06,280
Speaker 1: it's over the years, probably like five or six or

1508
01:25:06,320 --> 01:25:08,679
Speaker 1: seven years ago. When I started to work at Fox

1509
01:25:08,960 --> 01:25:11,719
Speaker 1: as a sideline reporter, I would be out at games

1510
01:25:11,760 --> 01:25:14,519
Speaker 1: and a pregame where I'm talking to coaches. I started

1511
01:25:14,520 --> 01:25:16,479
Speaker 1: to meet a lot of NFL scouts who would talk

1512
01:25:16,479 --> 01:25:18,519
Speaker 1: to me about my list because it was things that

1513
01:25:18,600 --> 01:25:22,080
Speaker 1: they would check on. And the more guys I talked to,

1514
01:25:22,240 --> 01:25:24,679
Speaker 1: and then Jim Nagie at the Senior Bowl and his staff,

1515
01:25:24,720 --> 01:25:27,760
Speaker 1: I'd do these you know, three hour conference calls where

1516
01:25:27,760 --> 01:25:30,080
Speaker 1: we kind of compare notes in the offseason about who

1517
01:25:30,120 --> 01:25:33,200
Speaker 1: we're hearing about, and it's really really grown from that.

1518
01:25:33,520 --> 01:25:38,200
Speaker 1: What's been particularly rewarding is to see, you know, years

1519
01:25:38,200 --> 01:25:39,920
Speaker 1: and years ago, and I'm talking about like probably ten

1520
01:25:40,000 --> 01:25:43,360
Speaker 1: years ago, I get a bunch of skepticism from fans, going, yeah,

1521
01:25:43,400 --> 01:25:44,920
Speaker 1: that guy's really not going to do that, and then

1522
01:25:44,960 --> 01:25:46,720
Speaker 1: they go to the combine and they would not only

1523
01:25:46,760 --> 01:25:48,760
Speaker 1: probably match the numbers, some of them would exceed the

1524
01:25:48,760 --> 01:25:52,800
Speaker 1: workout numbers we'd have for them. So that's been been great.

1525
01:25:52,920 --> 01:25:57,040
Speaker 1: Mozzi Smith is a guy who you know, six three,

1526
01:25:57,320 --> 01:26:02,040
Speaker 1: three hundred and thirty plus pounds, explosive, super strong, I

1527
01:26:02,040 --> 01:26:03,720
Speaker 1: mean the stuff. If you go to the Athletic and

1528
01:26:03,760 --> 01:26:06,080
Speaker 1: look at that Freaksless story, you will see some of

1529
01:26:06,080 --> 01:26:09,880
Speaker 1: the video of some crazy things that he can do athletically.

1530
01:26:11,360 --> 01:26:13,280
Speaker 1: You know from talking to coaches in the NFL and

1531
01:26:13,280 --> 01:26:15,720
Speaker 1: coaches have been around him. One of the comparisons is

1532
01:26:15,800 --> 01:26:19,000
Speaker 1: durn Payne, who had come out all Alabama, super strong,

1533
01:26:19,080 --> 01:26:22,280
Speaker 1: super explosive. D Lineman now in Washington, who just signed

1534
01:26:22,320 --> 01:26:25,559
Speaker 1: an enormous deal. He doesn't quite have as much length

1535
01:26:25,600 --> 01:26:28,880
Speaker 1: maybe as durn Payne, but every bit as explosive and strong.

1536
01:26:29,320 --> 01:26:31,759
Speaker 1: And I think you see the value of those guys

1537
01:26:31,800 --> 01:26:35,280
Speaker 1: in the middle of a defense, what kind of impact

1538
01:26:35,320 --> 01:26:39,040
Speaker 1: they can make. And there's a handful of guys they're

1539
01:26:39,120 --> 01:26:40,840
Speaker 1: I mean, they're rare to find, but there are a

1540
01:26:40,880 --> 01:26:43,920
Speaker 1: handful of every so often who come out and this

1541
01:26:44,000 --> 01:26:47,640
Speaker 1: is one that I think you will see. You know,

1542
01:26:48,040 --> 01:26:50,599
Speaker 1: he's a guy that has made a big impact at Michigan.

1543
01:26:50,640 --> 01:26:54,800
Speaker 1: The last two years. The Wolverines really have become the

1544
01:26:54,840 --> 01:26:57,320
Speaker 1: bully of the Big Ten. They bullied around Ohio State,

1545
01:26:57,360 --> 01:27:00,560
Speaker 1: They've dominated that series. And I think he he is

1546
01:27:00,600 --> 01:27:02,960
Speaker 1: a big impact on what they've been able to do,

1547
01:27:03,280 --> 01:27:05,320
Speaker 1: not just you know, in the game, but on both

1548
01:27:05,360 --> 01:27:07,479
Speaker 1: sides of the ball, how they practice. When you have

1549
01:27:07,600 --> 01:27:10,120
Speaker 1: somebody like that who's a tone setter, you know, three

1550
01:27:10,240 --> 01:27:13,040
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty five days out of the year, well

1551
01:27:13,040 --> 01:27:16,000
Speaker 1: you can check that list on the Athletic dot Com.

1552
01:27:16,200 --> 01:27:19,360
Speaker 1: Several names and several names that we've also seen mock

1553
01:27:19,439 --> 01:27:22,920
Speaker 1: to the Buffalo Bills, whether it's at number twenty seven

1554
01:27:23,080 --> 01:27:25,920
Speaker 1: or in the second round for the Bills. One hundred

1555
01:27:26,000 --> 01:27:28,880
Speaker 1: names on that list. Bruce, thank you so much for

1556
01:27:28,960 --> 01:27:31,200
Speaker 1: your time, Thanks for kind of telling us a little

1557
01:27:31,200 --> 01:27:34,040
Speaker 1: bit more about the NFL combine and a couple names

1558
01:27:34,080 --> 01:27:36,920
Speaker 1: to look out for. We appreciate it. Thanks, Bruce, appreciate you.

1559
01:27:37,880 --> 01:27:41,400
Speaker 1: Thank you, guys. All right, that was Bruce Feldman of

1560
01:27:41,560 --> 01:27:45,599
Speaker 1: the Athletic. He does a lot for college football. Again,

1561
01:27:45,680 --> 01:27:48,960
Speaker 1: you can check that list on the Athletic dot Com.

1562
01:27:48,960 --> 01:27:52,400
Speaker 1: Ozzie Smith. A favorite name that you have, Steve number

1563
01:27:52,400 --> 01:27:56,759
Speaker 1: one on his Freaks list. Yeah, this yes, explosive athlete,

1564
01:27:56,800 --> 01:27:59,320
Speaker 1: really strong, way over three hundred pounds. He's going to

1565
01:27:59,360 --> 01:28:03,200
Speaker 1: be an active defensive tackle down inside, and he's got

1566
01:28:03,240 --> 01:28:06,320
Speaker 1: a chance to be there when the Bills pick. We'll see, though.

1567
01:28:07,080 --> 01:28:09,639
Speaker 1: There's a lot of guys on that list. And when

1568
01:28:09,640 --> 01:28:12,280
Speaker 1: you're looking for I've got it on the whiteboard. It's

1569
01:28:12,320 --> 01:28:14,160
Speaker 1: in there, and it's when I have a little space

1570
01:28:14,200 --> 01:28:16,160
Speaker 1: in my whiteboard for stuff that I leave up there

1571
01:28:16,160 --> 01:28:19,200
Speaker 1: all the time, and it says this Bill's draft traits.

1572
01:28:19,479 --> 01:28:21,160
Speaker 1: Mazzie Smith, Scott them. And there's a lot of guys

1573
01:28:21,200 --> 01:28:23,559
Speaker 1: on that list that may be on the Bills board

1574
01:28:23,560 --> 01:28:25,680
Speaker 1: as well. At a very high spot, I think I

1575
01:28:25,680 --> 01:28:28,920
Speaker 1: saw Brian Branch on that list. He's a safety that's

1576
01:28:28,920 --> 01:28:31,519
Speaker 1: been mocked to the Bills quite a few times at

1577
01:28:31,680 --> 01:28:35,519
Speaker 1: number twenty seven. A couple of wide receivers on that

1578
01:28:35,600 --> 01:28:38,679
Speaker 1: list as well. I think it's super interesting to find

1579
01:28:38,760 --> 01:28:41,880
Speaker 1: prospects who might not be one, two or three coming

1580
01:28:41,920 --> 01:28:44,480
Speaker 1: out of the NFL Draft, but are guys who are

1581
01:28:44,520 --> 01:28:50,520
Speaker 1: really hard workers and guys that colleges and coaches absolutely

1582
01:28:50,800 --> 01:28:52,839
Speaker 1: rave about, because those are going to be the players

1583
01:28:52,920 --> 01:28:56,080
Speaker 1: that you want a part of your roster in the NFL.

1584
01:28:56,400 --> 01:28:58,120
Speaker 1: All right, break time. When we come back, we're gonna

1585
01:28:58,120 --> 01:29:00,320
Speaker 1: wrap things up here on One Bills Live, present of

1586
01:29:00,360 --> 01:29:19,679
Speaker 1: my Collie to health. This is Buffalo Bills Radio, closing

1587
01:29:19,800 --> 01:29:23,320
Speaker 1: up shop here on one Bills Live at one Bill's Drive.

1588
01:29:24,120 --> 01:29:27,040

1589
01:29:27,280 --> 01:29:29,880
Speaker 1: We are going to be back tomorrow one to three.

1590
01:29:30,400 --> 01:29:33,120
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker and Maddie Glab see you then,
