Buffalo Bills 2024 Opening Day Depth Chart Prediction

what is up everyone welcome to another edition of the nickel city rush hour and yes Jake and I are going to try to get through this within an hour it's going to be kind of fun we're kind of doing real early prediction of what that depth chart will look like at the start of the Season which means we'll also be kind of predicting the 53 man roster now hold on it's kind of cool think about it it's going to force us to talk about some draft prospects it's going to force us to talk about who we me resign some free agents we may sign who we may cut so all that and more right after this [Music] intro [Music] ladies and gentlemen may I have your attention please the show starts in 10 9 8 7 [Music] 6 5 4 3 2 one go let's go and let's get right into it Jake how you doing my friend I'm doing great Mike how we doing you fired up this is this is gonna be a good one this is gonna be fun it's a little different something new uh working through it the for the first time but I thought it'd be a lot of fun because it does force us to talk about multiple things um what we're going to try to replicate here this is kind of a fun little site Jake and I like to use during the season it's uh ourlads and they're usually pretty good about being accurate with the starting lineups you know basically the death behind those starters as well um in this case this is where it currently sits and you can see there's a lot of ufas out there undrafted or unrestricted free agents and we're going to be talking about that and we're going to be creating our own ourlads depth chart so let me show you what we got here let me take this off the screen real quick and let's get into our version of the RADS present that your screen go here and there we go all right Jake so here's our vision and we're going to start on the defensive side of things and as you can see uh put your GM hat on we got a lot to work out here yes we do a lot and it and it kind of helps Jake that we've been doing a lot of a lot of mock drafts I mean I think you've probably done the most because you've been doing some on the AFC Summit uh you've been talking about some prospects over there you and I we've done two mock drafts the last one was kind of fun with trades I mean I heard you're gonna do that on the next AFC Summit so that'll be a lot of fun but um yeah so we're going to um be forced to talk about a lot of things so let's get into it and we'll start with the defense we'll save the offense so have options here right when we're talking about these players obviously the ones that aren't highlighted are signed those uh we we have them wrapped up and in a contract now we could talk about potentially releasing them to save some cap I mean I have about uh I think about four candidates that I have listed um I'll bring those up as we go through them but um we could talk about somebody we may cut we can talk about somebody that we're going to resign uh we can talk about maybe even look at our our UA our futures our futs right these are guys that we've signed um for future contracts they're not on the practice squad yet but they typ most of these were and then what happens when the season ends the the Bills sign them to a future contract right so they're under contract with us and maybe some of these folks could take some of those positions that we're about to talk about so lots of options here my friend first of all do we got anyone out in the channel and I'm interested to see if trucker viewers here because we got a lot to talk about about Mr cam Lewis he's one of these uh here right so good to see you there thanks for joining us tonight I know you will chime in and hopefully give your opinions as well so let's go through the uh defense and try to create our first death chart as far as the defense goes so I think I think some of these are are just a slam dunk right you got uh grego Von Miller I don't think there's any change there big go good to see you out there and you agree with me and jump in um when you want to Jake I'm going to try remember we're trying to keep this under an hour here yep so I think there's really no discussion there you agree absolutely yeah all right let's talk about Shaq now Shaq you can you know you can you can sign him on the cheat he's played with us for a while I felt like I didn't see much of him last year two years ago he did he made a a lot of big plays he showed up thought F felt like he was a little quiet last year so what do you think har you think we resign him or do we kind of just say it's time to part ways and we look for someone else to fill that void yeah I think it's time to part ways honestly I'd rather allocate that money that we would use towards Shaq to bringing back a guy like AJ fanessa so I know I'm foreshadowing a little bit but I'm good to go um sha Lawson is what turning 30 so he's up there an age a little bit 28 29 something like that he's definitely up there um so I feel like it it makes sense for for us to let him walk and he was definitely quieter last year than he was the previous year I agree with you fully so no discussion there I mean let's talk about that for for a little bit actually when we get through the the defensive uh ends I mean how many remember how many we kept last year I think active roster it was six so we had uh and it was interesting because V started the season off on that uh unable to perform list right so when we finally activated them we were at six total so we had the three up there and then um yeah actually all these guys right here that are listed so yeah that's what we rolled with throughout the season okay so between the offense and defense also that let you know we had 56 players and if you add in the Three Special Teams we have 59 so we got to cut six this as well um so we could talk about that um replacing him with somebody or let's let's get through the the defensive line and then we'll talk about maybe who we could see filling those voids yeah dequon Jones I tell you Roy by the way pointing out something good here yeah it looks like you got Jonathan Kingsley Kingsley Jonathan Mike Kingsley Jonathan I mean come on now you know that is that is good call Roy good call that is so correct my neighbor by the way who is Kingsley Jonathan lives right down the street from me one of the Town Homes Justin I think they live in the same building together so I'm going to have to go I'm going let them know like you know there's this guy named Mike Thorton he's kind of sleeping on you Kingsley well know it's funny because I you know when I was looking at our livs they have the last name first name right first right yeah so I'm just copying it I'm typing it in as fast as I can and when you see Jonathan Kingsley that sounds like a first name to me right yeah it definitely does no it goes well actually almost sounds better that way right doesn't it no offense to Kingsley but you know right right right right John Robert also saying sha will be 30 before the season turns yeah that's what I thought it makes sense to me you know I felt like he took a step back this year you didn't see as much of him he wasn't as active around the football so to me we got to get younger there I'm I'm good with taking some cheap labor in the draft or bringing someone in or resigning guys that are better suited such as AJ F Vanessa as I mentioned all right look at my dad coming in hot already naming all the guys we need to resign right here love it love I love look who look who he has and I love hearing that Lewis cam resign a lot of people saying I think cam will resign Brett says that Roy says that yes good stuff where's Tre reviewer for all this come on I know right right I want you guys to repeat that when the Tre reviewer jumps in because he seems to jump in about 15 minutes 20 minutes late and he'll have come out with a cut cam um Deon Jones this this guy I want to resign um I don't know about you Jake um I agree with everyone there um that's been saying resign Deon Jones you're going to be paying about about six to seven million but I think you got to bring this guy back yeah um I'm conflicted here yeah he's up there in age and he you know he had that injury the peck injury and you know obviously it's crazy yeah we didn't even expect to see him come back so I was actually impressed that he actually came back right but he was quiet let's let's be real but did you expect anything less when he came back or anything more no not at all the guy's unbelievable I mean he's a space heater He commands the line of scrimmage and I think for the right price it's absolutely worth bringing him back I think for him he would want to stay here in Buffalo and play with a contender especially because he is up there in age he's like 33 34 years old now so it makes sense for us to go and resign him I think it really just comes down to what he's going to be commanding so I'm gonna see if I can actually find that here I'm looking on spot Track Mike because I want to get the exact amount and see what if iall I think it was 6.7 I could be wrong but uh yeah goe check it out yeah let's take a look yeah I'm curious to see what that is cuz you know we talked yesterday we had some of our prospects on the AFC East Summit show and I almost convinced myself you know if there's a way to get tandre sweat that would be our dayquon Jones replacement so I uh now I know it's not a guarantee that we get tandre sweat and you know you're almost maybe better off resigning a veteran and then even so if you want to still draft tandre sweat he's got a great guy to learn from in dequon Jones so um yeah let's see so looking at the market value the thing while you're looking at that Jake the thing about him is like you know the bills rotate a lot right and he'd just be a fantastic depth piece I mean we're gonna lose settle I don't want him signed back obviously Joseph was just somebody we we we were desperate so he'll be an easy one to remove from this list that was another one by the way revers the first and last name do it again my bad people I didn't notice it either until yeah by the way good point there BR yeah 6 point 8 million is uh the calculated market value right now for dayquon Jones so do you sign him to a two-year deal you know twoyear roughly 13 and a half million dollar deal or do you you know just go on a one-year deal how do you play that one Mike I think if you do a two-year um you can have the signup bonus and you can help help yourself on the cap there I agree and I wouldn't mind having them for two more years at all all right let's do it let's resign Daquon Jones daquin all right John Robert also brings up a good point here says dayquon Jones likes Bobby babich I love that I'm here for it um love some of these names here Brett Cleland frell has an opportunity to kind of revitalize himself he was a fourth overall pick by the Raiders under Mike Mayo there and really did not live up to the draft hype and he's kind of bounced around a little bit hasn't really gotten the job done Mario Edwards I really like him a lot I'm curious to see how much he's going to commanded free agency um but some good names there Brett very good names to mention uh and then can definitely when we Circle back around so after we get through the defense let's see we want to fill some some voids we can circle around with those names and see you know what spot trk saying market value is for them definitely but okay dequon Jones welcome back to your deal um sign bonus and you know you're you're light on the cap there so love it Jordan Phillips I'm gonna let you start with Jordan yeah um Jordan Phillips is an emotional player here in Buffalo he's a juice guy and while he makes some really good plays he also makes some very boneheaded plays at the same time and this is a case where I think I'm actually okay with letting him walk and that's because I mentioned guys like tandre sweat or you know I named a couple other options too now not quite as big as Jordan Phillips or even dandre SWAT but guys like Braden Fisk um you know there's there's other dudes Mason Mason Smith who I talked about yesterday too uh Jordan Jefferson who are actually bigger dudes who I think could replace and play extremely well on this defense so I think I'm good with letting him walk okay and that's a good point too John I agree I mean my my only comment was going to be again sort of like Shaq two years ago they both shined last year Jordan was was just quiet yeah so all right we're gonna actually let him go thank you for your time Jordan for your time Shaq and if you guys continue to play I'm sure someone will will sign you this hurts to say goodbye to these guys because these are dudes that they're juice guys both of those dudes sha Lawson and Jordan Phillips you know they're emotional and fous energy guys and you hate to lose dudes like that but unfortunately it's a business and uh we got other priorities right now we don't have a whole lot to play with yeah so we're definitely gonna have to Circle when we get through these to fill some points but let's talk about pauna Muna I mean we had a lot of high hopes for him um we got him pretty cheap he actually took a a smaller contract because he wanted to play for the bills but I think he was frustrated as the season went on because he expected a bigger role and we didn't give him that um I didn't see anything I mean when he did play I I didn't see anything special um but he's definitely I don't I don't think he's excited to come back especially if he if he continues to have the same role so for me I think we're GNA me meing the part ways with him I would love your thoughts on that I 100% agree and this is where I'm going to scroll down to those future contracts okay yes and you see number 51 there Mr Elie Anu this is where we're going to bring him to the active roster we're going to sign him on the cheap he's very familiar with our defense he's been in the bills you know scheme for a few years now on and off and he's capable he's actually gotten some time in meaningful NFL games as well he's a bigger body he's like 63 325 he's still somewhat young so to me it makes sense to um you know stick with him and maybe have him be our depth piece there at the defensive tackle noose tackle position I like that Jak nice move there how how old is he yanu I just pulled him up actually let's see here he is 29 actually so he's a little bit older than I thought um and he will be 30 once the season starts so that that's definitely interesting but like I said he's got some experience he's been in the league since 2017 he was an undrafted free agent um and he's been with the bills I think three different stints total here so uh familiar with our defense he's actually gotten to play a little bit in meaningful games so I like the kid and he's a bigger body dude and he's actually still younger than Jordan Phillips so a little bit younger Jordan's 31 not right yeah we paid Jordan three million so as far as money goes I think it's going to be maybe a little savings but almost a wash honestly yeah yep but uh I like that I like seeing some of our futures come to the active roster um I would have liked them to be a little bit younger but hey we'll go with I'm actually I thought he was like more 26ish it just doesn't feel like he's been in the league that long because he hasn't played a whole lot um but like I said bigger body guy and he has the familiarity and I think Bobby babage likes him a lot too there's a reason why I signed a Futures Contract I love W good to see you won thanks for joining us tonight I love that little Super Bowl logo here that he's got going on there oh you gota let us know good to see you Weston um he says this let me let me go back here I disagree Mike and Jake here Puna is someone who I think has tremendous upside it'd be disappointed if we didn't resign him the only reason I'm saying I don't know if he'd want to come back um he was disappointed man I I read some articles throughout the year I don't know if he'd want to resign with the bills unless he gets uh a larger role I think that's the only reason I'm saying that um Brett we didn't see a lot of them unfortunately and and unless mcder says all right man we're going to put you in more I see him coming back I don't know what do you think Jake so towards the end of the season he started to flash a little bit he made it nearly impossible for him not to be on the active roster come game day so um I could see a situation where we do resign him but I think it's really more on him because he took a pay cut to essentially play here in Buffalo definitely thought he was going to get more time and it just wasn't the case so I think it's more on him I think the bills would take him back in a heartbeat but for him he needs to just buy back in instead of maybe going elsewhere and taking more money which I don't blame him either way he brings up a good point though he could get a larger role with bull settle um true Philip Steven so that's a good point yep I don't did did we did we I didn't even recall us saying let Puna go but maybe we did so what's your thoughts there what your thought yeah we didn't really even talk about I I kind of mentioned it a little bit but okay yeah I think for me I'm I'm actually okay with letting him go because I would like to uh draft someone at that position in this year's NFL draft and I would say day two or day three that'd be really nice to get a guy early in either day and maybe you take two of them in total because we do have like 10 total picks um I really like guys like tandre sweat like I said but if we can't get him there's High motor guys such as Braden Fisk um you know you have a couple of other dudes Brandon Doris is a name out of Oregon there's some guys that I think could really fit in this defense and would fit beautifully in the City of Buffalo not just the team but the city itself we would totally embrace them so that's kind of where my mind is at yeah we paid him about 2.2 million last year that's Puna yeah um we know one of these voids is definitely going to be a draft draft pick if I think at least one um for sure I mean we we've been mocking um Byron Murphy we've been mocking sweat sweat's going to move up the board so it's going to be tough um if we take a wide receiver first in the first round which seems like everyone in the world wants that everyone's doing it um we didn't in our mck draft last week and uh or just I say last week it was last week but it was Sunday just a few days ago um I still feel like it turned out really well I mean I know you're a little disappointed not the get Xavier uh but hey Brandon rice I'm all about him yeah I mean after you sent me the uh yeah I mean I admittedly I hadn't watched a ton of tape on him and I'm willing to watch more after that highlight real you sent me holy smokes the dude is electric and he's a big body player and he's got great Bloodlines I mean shoot he's the goat he's the goat's son how could he not turn out well right I know I know so let's see here um yeah ban Byron Murphy was interviewed yeah I me yeah that's uh it's intriguing that is interesting uh he again Brett you know you were saying that he's always been Fallen to you he hadn't Fallen to me forever and i' had done a b bunch of these ma drops and then and I do it and he falls to us which made our decision very tough because we had I think it was Brian Thomas was available from llcu and then Murphy and then Jake kind of saw me on Murphy when he first drafted him in his mock draft a few weeks ago I was like why is he doing this I looked him up I'm like dude him next to Oliver but but the crazy thing I did a little more research because I also kind of you know I don't think I made fun but I said I'm concerned about sweat's size right um but turns out he actually played almost 100 snaps more than Byron Murphy so I totally erased my concerns about him being you know a three down guy if they want him in for three Downs the guy can do it Jake oh yeah absolutely he can yeah and is that official by the way John Robert I saw you come out and say uh tandre SWAT 350 did they already do the weigh-ins for that officially because if he's 350 that means he's down 14 pounds or 12 pounds yeah which we talked a little bit about that yesterday in our show and he does have a little bit of bad weight on them and I think some Scouts are in the same mindset as our guys Anthony and Keith um kind of saying hey you could drop 20 to 22 pounds and play at 340 that would be a more ideal weight for you so curious to see what he weighed in at or if he already has weighed in let's see here he's got Jones Oliver Ford and two DT oh it would be BR it definitely would be yeah without a doubt yeah let um John also mentioned uh prior to that too he said uh Cameron Klein is on the Futures Contract yeah so Cameron Klein he's been on our practice squad he played for us in the preseason he was uh spent some time with the Colts I think he's about 26 years old um you know I don't know if he is I don't like him as much as a guy like Kingsley Jonathan I don't think he's in that same category but he definitely showed I mean in the preseason he played really well and from my understanding he's a bigger guy too uh 6428 three so you're talking about a bigger dude really good at setting the edge and good with uh his run defense so it's you know it's definitely an intriguing Prospect there's a reason obviously why these dudes have been signed to Futures contracts the bills see something in them where they can maybe contribute to the team they probably will be on the team during the preseason and they're G to get some time so um yeah I think again he's gonna you know be a flash in the pan guy and we'll see if he makes the active roster but definitely uh definitely intriguing for sure just based on the size alone yeah I like that so I think I mean we decided I think I agree with you I'm letting Puna go um Brett uh again I gave my reasons but uh I could see him I mean if he wanted to come back and if he was promised a bigger role and like you said it could happen because we're losing some he could resign but I'm gonna have him uh we're gonna let him go yeah sorry Brett I would take him back I really would I think for the right price you know obviously what did he sign with us for like1 A5 million it wasn't that much it was 2.2 million 2.25 yeah and his base was one and a half yeah yeah so gotcha again you could probably get him uh I mean he's probably gonna want a little bit more but you still get him on the cheap but um again I I just don't think he's going to get the the playing time that he wants or it'll depend on that so I think these next two are pretty easy Tim subtle yeah you can get them cheaper sign them for a twoyear $10 million do deal you're G to get him for about three and a half million 3.7 if you want him back no thank you from me what are your thoughts my friend yeah I think we let him walk I think that's all she wrote there see what's the channel think about Mr settle I know that I know that um uh let's see where is he where is he Roy Roy was a big fan of settle he's gonna be like you know I was really really excited about Tim settle because he played in Washington amongst four different first round picks on that defensive line and it's like man this guy if you just give him an opportunity because he had flashes there like this guy could be a legitimate player in the league but um and even here in Buffalo he had his moments but it just wasn't consistent enough for me and I just feel like it's not justified to resign him and let a guy like Puna Ford walk so if you're gonna let Puna Ford go you gotta let Tim settle go yeah there were a lot of fans uh that when settle left um Washington I mean they were like you guys got a great player there so I was all excited big dude um and you like you said he was you know he had those um four first rounders in front of him so it was hard to get playing time but apparently the fans said you know when he did play um that he did very well so it just didn't pan out for us unfortunately yeah lynville I think hey lynville I mean thank you thank you at the end of the season we were desperate we found you I mean he came out um with a motor man I remember the first couple games I was seeing him chase you know big size like a size of uh Sweat Right like 340 something yep and he's uh he's you know in his upper 30s so I'm curious to see like what he would even command I wonder if they even have him here on spot Trek so last year yeah 1.6 million uh so i' probably be in that realm again that minimum something like that he is going to be 36 at the start of the Year too so yeah his probow years are over with oh won cut MBS thank God yes yeah that was huge yeah all right it might be looking at him I'm just kidding I've seen a bunch of memes about it and it's like on his way out he like dropped his papers his his cut papers tough man that's tough that lindville collect his Social Security says R leave the man alone I agree let him sit on the couch if anything if if we want to resign them back when we're contenders and you know pushing for number one seed so be it you know because then he'll know the defense and that's kind of where he his mind is probably at anyways if he still wants to play all right Leonard Floyd Leonard Floyd I'd love to have him back I just don't think we're gonna be able to afford him so I think he's gonna command the nice price so unfortunately if it were me and and he wasn't commanding much money I would love to have him back but he's just not g to come back so I think we're gonna need to take him off the list here what your thoughts there 100% agree would love to have him back he's just going to command way too much money we can't afford it even with the restructuring of different contracts I think there's just a better option here that we're going to talk about next all right Mr AJ Essa I think spot Trek says surprisingly 5.7 million if that's true that if that was true this is a this is a no-brainer you resign this guy so where is there any world what would the number be Jake that you'd be like ah I don't know if I want to pay him that much because let's be honest we've seen some flashes but we've seen lots of time where there was nothing happening so and I know you say that's du snap counts and him not having you know he should be getting more play time but what's your thought what's that number where you're like nah can't bring it back otherwise it's a no-brainer I feel like if it's like over eight million a year I'd be like okay maybe maybe not because I me Leonard Floyd is going to be in the teens like low teens but you know you're not that far off there I would say if we can get him for like even 7 million a year I think it's possible that he signs three for 21 something like that takes maybe a HomeTown discount even at that price I would be very happy with that contract you know um so this Hometown I like your heads at there yeah I was I was having uh I was having a conversation with someone and we say that a lot but honestly Jake uh let's put ourselves in their shoes right um obviously the things that players want to do is they want to win they want to win most of them most of them want to win others are know very few are just there for the money and [Music] um and when you say he'll take the hometown discount I don't think it's his hometown it's not where he grew up that's definitely true um you know and if it were me it's hard not to take like for instance if you say Hometown discount like if he's being offered 8 million and you're saying hey I'm going to get you where going to pay you $6 million $2 million is a lot of money so I'm I guess I'm kind of over the hometown discount thing because it never seems to pan out it never seems to be a real thing if it was somebody who had who was seated in I mean had family in Buffalo had kids going to schools I could see that I don't know what his situation is he's a pretty young guy I don't know if he's yeah I don't think he has kids or anything like that kid so for him it would probably be uh you know an easy move for $2 million more a year Jake Sure but for me I want this guy back I've seen enough flashes he does seem to have some injury concerns every year almost every year but man what we saw what we have seen and it always seems to be I mean uh either it's earlier in the year or late well late in the year he seems to always kind of taper off or he's injured by the end of the year but I love the Reign them so my thought my pick here would be resign AJ let's resign him and promote him to the starting defensive end there Mike all right let's move them over let's move them over some guarantees you're G to get more than 45% of the snaps at defensive end this year whatever a snap count was it was definitely lower you know I know the bills are a rotational defense and I I respect it to a certain extent but I feel like with a guy like AJ Essa you got to keep him in the game when his when his hand is hot keep him in the game let him do his thing it just frustrates me because I feel like you lose some momentum sometimes and I would like to to see a little bit of a different approach in that sense like if the dude is balling out just let him keep doing his thing until he literally needs oxygen or he needs a blow it's a good question Brett this is a really good uh question we talked a little bit about this in our group chat and I am actually for it because you made a good point maybe what you can do is you know you don't have to really do much with his current salary this year but down the line at least then you know you'll have him locked up he played extremely well last year and I think he alleviated a lot of concerns that we had at the right tackle position I think a lot of people feel really good about him and the fact that our Buffalo Bills offensive line stayed healthy was very encouraging so I would be for it I think uh you don't go overboard with the extension but you do it at the right time now because if he has another really good season then you have to make a choice on the fifth year option and all that other stuff so it's a good choice to to maybe do that now and get that out of the way yeah I'm fully agreement there uh yeah Michel High needs to retire even though we all love him we love him I just don't like him love the guy but I think for his uh for his benefit for his health I think he needs to um but we'll talk about him shortly sure let's see this will be epa's second contract usually the biggest one of players signs and don't be surprised and I won't be as as I was saying Roy you know Hometown discount is out the door with AJ if he's getting a big deal somewhere else he's Gonna Take It agreed yeah yep I agree there and uh Amanda Hyde she is a beautiful woman I gotta say and she you know what she posted a really good like heartfelt letter to Buffalo basically alluding to the fact that whether he retires or if he signs elsewhere he's not coming back to Buffalo next year yeah yeah um if you see me muted and I make the mistake of unmuting it's because you know I'm owner over a dog now I have a new dog oh we've had her for a couple months and I don't know what happened uh she had surgery recently and afterwards she just barks at everybody so oh no to be a non Barker that's change so apologize if you hear any barking on the show I thought it was because you're just so darn emotional Mike I mean you are the kleenex guy of our so if you see me do this then I'm getting emotional okay and I'll take myself off off the mic as well yeah ex I'm a very emotional guy for sure all right let's get into uh uh actually let's let's uh man I'll tell you what the hour concept of the rush hour is not going to happen tonight so uh no chance no it never does so let's go talk about filling some of these uh spots here and then then we'll go into the linebackers and move forward um obviously we're going to be droing a defensive tackle and I think we need to take one in the first two rounds I really do if we go wide receiver first I think we gota we got to go DT I'm I am worried I have seen sweat go as like we saw it on our mik draft he went early second round so if you take your guy wide receiver number one and Byron Murphy isn't going to last past the first round sweat was kind of a question mark I don't think he falls unless I don't think he falls this you're gonna have to move up so what's your thoughts where you right right now based on all the mock draft you've done would you change what we did the other night you're G to definitely take a wide receiver and then where are you looking to take your DT I'm going to take the DT in the second round and what I'm going to do here is because we resigned Daquon Jones and we promoted El Anu to the active roster I'm going to go ahead and draft Braden FR uh Braden Fisk out of Florida State Kyle Williams 2.0 and you're gonna play him right there right behind Eddie Oliver this dude has the highest motor in the draft out of all defensive linemen I looked at watch tapon I think as a Bills fan we will instantly fall in love with this kid and it would be a mistake not to take him if he is available there in the second round I truly believe that I think right now I mentioned it yesterday he's the 57th ranked Prospect according to PFF right now um the dude is just he has the motor to just Outlast anyone and I feel like that is what's going to allow him to generate some big sack numbers of defensive tackle position at the next level so I am here for the Braden fist signing and then in the fifth or sixth round we'll go ahead and you could put right behind El Anu we're going to go and draft Jordan Jefferson out of LSU a guy that could play nose tackle or defensive tackle uh three Tech zero Tech you name it and the dude has maybe the highest upside for athleticism uh and maybe as a a player in this league at the defensive lineman position um dude is 63 323 and he runs a 4740 supposedly Mike which is absolutely insane he's on BR Bruce feldsman uh Bruce Feldman's freak list and uh I think the biggest thing with him is there were just some uh consistencies but we talked a little bit about him yesterday this dude literally just walls off offensive lineman he's able to shoot the Gap so well he's got a quick first step and again he could play multiple positions on the on the defensive line so I feel like he'd be a really good late round pick for us all right I'm G to put slash sweat because obviously that's what I would want and again if they if they were going to make any moves that is a spot I'd like him to make a move on yes Braden Fisk is probably I think he was on my top five list um but if we could get sweat I'd love for them to go for that um make a move up the board give away something U next year something that uh I mean he's worth it can you imagine him next to at Oliver I mean come on now it'd be nuts and by the way I did make a mistake yes you are correct Spencer Brown not eligible for that fifth year option Brett also mentioned that too so good point so yeah even more of a reason to like let's get this over with let's extend him now get it out of the way obviously we can still keep keep them at the salaries at now and then down the road we'll pay him a little bit more as we go so let's talk about um you know Kingsley Jonathan does he become number two or do we go to free agency here so let's let me throw some names out here for you see if you'd be interested in any of these uh free agents that um are available here let see if I find it there we go so one guy that kind of stood out to me I mean he had six sacks last year he's he's been pretty consistent the last few years of his career as Quinton Jefferson who also played for the bills I believe a few years back did he did Quinton play for the bills I don't believe he did no take a no I think I looked unless I looked up the wrong guy let me check here I think Quinton did did he Quinton Jefferson let's go to Stats here with Seattle and and New York and buffalo yeah you did that's right 2020 it was it was a very short stin here yeah you're correct yeah so I mean he's he got 3.6 million last year he had six sacks he saw uh he had 469 um snaps he had let me see here his quarterback hits he had 13 six like I said six sacks and one force fumble yeah um a filler there and he he got paid 3.6 million he's 30 years old he'll be 31 by the time the season starts any thoughts on that I wouldn't mind that I think that'd be a good signing for us um I know uh Anthony was hit or miss on bringing him back uh to his Jets team so but they officially voided his contract so he is uh he's definitely not going to be returning there I'd be good with that actually I like that move yeah and I was kind of looking at like uh as far as defensive tackles um I was looking at um sacks and quarterback hits for those that are available in free agency I mean obviously there's the big ones the big payouts that are going to be out there but um he's he felt pretty reasonable um I'll throw out some other numbers that might be a little reasonable um for you um yeah I can't believe I don't remember that 2020 yeah that that's such a blur to me that whole entire season now but yeah it's that is wow yeah wild yeah so um you had Adam Butler out there for from Las Vegas uh he had five sacks um again he had almost 500 um snaps last year nobody else really sticks out I wonder if the channel has any defensive tackles in mind from free agency anybody out there that you guys are thinking about because Jake let's face it I mean I want a guy that can actually contribute this year if we um yeah go ahead I do have a name uh tier tart he played with the Titans and he played with the Texans and actually he was one of the only players that stood out to me when the bills played the Titans two years ago at our home opener and uh I thought that that was like like the only dude that seemed to be playing ball that day he was pretty darn good he's 27 years old I think he command around four million a year um so doable you know it's not too extreme and I think that's a guy that we're gonna keep for a while I really like that kid a lot so I like I like the age this is uh 27 it'll be 27 by the time the season starts had one sack last year and four quarterback hits like you said what he got paid by 4.3 Million last year yeah yeah so I mean so there's a couple options right there I think uh either him or the other gentleman that I mentioned which was Quinton Jefferson Quint Jefferson yep I like it let see is's a chat anybody that they're thinking of let me see here Tav Bryan That's Another name maybe uh he was a former first round pick he just really hasn't panned out talking about like guys like Cleland Ferell uh Tav Bryant's another name too I's see Ro hins is saying aquara Rome aquara yeah could do that let's see what he's uh command in these days let's check it out here by the way that be defensive end okay so Edge yeah all right well we'll talk about him on the uh when we get to the well we did Cover the defense fend so yeah we are looking for a replacement for APPA so it's wild to me that his market value is so low still I'm looking at this and it's like wow he's like behind a lot of dudes that he should definitely be paid more than crazy all right so make a decision here on um how about this Brett saying trade for Derrick Brown yeah you want to talk about numbers he was the first defensive tackle I think since 2000 or 2000 it was to record a hundred or more tackles absolutely insane just lighting up the stat sheet and the dude is so damn good against the Run there's a reason why he was an early first round pick um and he's with Carolina so it would be a you know a natural trade partner for the Buffalo Bills uh you know management so I love that Brett I just wonder how much money that would be for us too but he is a he's a hell of a player all right so you think we had defensive ends what did we have last year six we had six yep you think uh Kingsley Jonathan works his way to be backup for Essa I do but I want you to put another name behind Von Miller up there sure Javon Solomon oh yeah so you're uh draft Troy so you took in a fourth round of mock draft right we're going to take him in the fourth round that's right Brett actually had a good idea he's like we should have done a mock draft with this that coincides and then fill in the picks that's actually not a bad idea Brett shoot the first time we're doing this working through it so it's a great idea when we do it again I think we'll add that to it um that would have made it easy because we would have taken who we drafted and just plug it in right right but um all right so we got him up there and yeah just to tell you a little bit more I'm sure not a ton of people know who Javon Solomon is but this kid he had 16 sacks this past year led the FBS in sacks and he came he comes out of Troy not a huge huge rusher but similar size to AJ epenesa he's like 62 249 and you talk about initial first step and how fast he gets off the ball this dude is pro ready he can play at the next level and I think his pass rushing technique is what's going to set him apart from others and definitely worthy to me as an early day three pick okay I think we need one more person so I mean I want to we're gonna we're going to pick someone up in free agency you know it right there's going to be someone it's not going to be a day one guy day two day three the cheaper guys so um I kind of like like I said let's go Quinton Jefferson yeah let's do that I think Shawn mentioned that too in our group chat the one day so I'm here for that all right do and he's Veteran's it's good veteran leadership to have I think it's a good locker room piece so yeah number he likes to wear uh so I think he was 90 95 99 something like that he was 70 with the Jets but I want to say majority of his career were 99 so put him at 99 and actually Mike he would be defensive tackle probably with us based on his size he's 64291 with the Jets it's a little bit different so I'd probably put him at D tackle there all right so we have five guys actually no we have we have the DTs taken care of yep um defensive ends I think we need one more Yep so for this we can go to the board as well let's take a look at um let's take a look at who's out there in free agency yeah oh he was 90 with Buffalo okay Brett I know his best year in Seattle he was 99 and I think his last year he was like 70 something and then 70 this past year with the Jets by the way he had six sacks this past year Mike not bad at all yeah you Quinton Jefferson yeah yeah if you look at his last two or three years he's been right around five decent numbers yeah decent numbers so vet there man I was looking at Jonathan Green Greener he's gonna be like4 million I wish that would be nice let me ask you something here I mean this is a stretch but you know uh javian Clown's out there he's 31 years old had a good year actually had 10 sacks um he got 2.5 last year I'm gonna imagine based on the year that he had he's going to get a decent payday let me see what they're thinking 7.2 million one-year deal I mean if you're going for it man that's a dude who who's a playmaker right there um let's see he played I mean Health has been one of his problems as well in the past right but dude he played um 17 games 654 snaps basically played for Baltimore that defense was Stout so anyhow an idea there $7.2 million so I think we do that if we don't resign AJ Essa I think that's what we do go get jaavan Clowney I would love that think that'd be a great move okay but since we've already said we're signing AJ panessa yep we gotta find a guy looking for a death piece more so yeah um let me see do we have any in the Futures we kind of talked about the Futures already you know I kind of want to go with a kid that we've always struggled against and he played with has been with the Jacksonville Jaguars I believe the last six years uh Dwayne Smoot defensive end for them would only command it looks like the market value for him is only 3.1 million which is not bad so I think that would be a really good depth piece for us um yeah let's go and get him Dwayne smoo so it's d a w yeah U an yeah it's kind of weird how he spells it but I like him too because he's kind of a pass rush specialist um a little bit you know sizewise he's 63 275 so he's a little bit bigger too so it almost fills that void that we'd be missing with a guy like sha Lawson who was a bigger defensive end so I think it'd be a really good fit so Dwayne Smoot let's go let's go get him all right like I'll just put this out there I would have what paid up a little bit more he he got three and a half million last year I think he's gonna probably command a little bit of the same but he only had one sack he only played 324 snaps which is half of what clown he played yeah he up played in 12 games so all right go with we'll go with you you are the GM I said that the other night uh you're say is final so let's do it how about this I said M or Brett saying I made you cry picking this D end here Dwayne Smo well when you see me go off camera too sometimes you know I I do have uh allergies so I don't want to uh have you guys have to deal with that here's my thing too I'm kind of using our whole Melvin Ingram recipe right go you can't beat him join him right so I feel like every time we play the Jags Dwayne Smoot has himself a day so that's why I think we go and get this dude and he's relatively cheap and he's put up solid numbers um he has been a little banged up late lately and he's been more of a role player with Jacksonville but you know he's a bigger dude and I think get get the job done all right I think we filled our defensive I think we filled our tackles let's move on to some linebacker talk and yeah it it's time for Matt to move on I mean I'm tired of him being injured all the time and it's it's time to move on let's go ready hold on what do you think sir okay I'm back cry you cry uh of course it's a joke for anyone out there hope you know me by now uh Tyrell Dawson look he had a great year I mean a year where people were like get rid of this dude I mean remember in preseason like or like this guy can't play for us he's he's terrible he gets a chance we needed him I mean after Milano goes down and he played damn good and I know that they would take him out on passing down so his courage but dude he's fast he made some nice plays in the back field uh he's going to command a little over five million I think is what the market is saying but he earned it so good for him um but I think we can fill that with a draft pick I agree yeah I I don't think I'm willing to pay that much for a linebacker right now uh especially with Matt Milano coming back Matt Milano to real Bernard Dorian Williams I mean Dorian Williams is raw but I think he's still got a lot of upside that's still my boy and also we got B Spectre there too Mike so just saying yep so let uh we're GNA say goodbye to doson thank you for your time and wish you luck and again I felt he he had a fantastic season last year so go for him he's going to get paid he's gonna get paid he will and uh we'll see him yeah probably yeah yeah right Roy saying Dodson was fine against the Run sucks and pass bro time for him to go yeah he's definitely a liability and coverage I think he definitely handled his own allowed his instincts to kind of take over in those circumstances but it just wasn't enough at certain points um also I'm sorry I didn't really address this too much but Rome aara I don't know if he's going to be low cost his market value was actually pretty high on spot track here so although he only had two sacks this past season um he's definitely been you know a a splash player if you I think he had one year R had like nine sacks or maybe I'm thinking of his brother Julian how is um 20 he's like high 20s I want to say what's spot track saying let's take a look it was like 12 million it was up there a little bit um let's see deal or one Romeo uh so 2023 was 12.3 million he's 28 years old wow he only had two sacks last year nine tackles but he you know played limitedly so uh actually does not have a market value for him so that's interesting so that tells me he'll probably come in a little less I based on what he did I mean there's a reason why he's a UFA right yep definitely definitely and I mean not a bad option if we can get them for cheaper definitely I'm I'm for it um we are actually yeah three years remve from his 10 sack season so yeah darn so let uh Roy we'll make a note when we uh review this um we'll have to look in the chat here I should put a little comment Roy said to pick aquara aquara yeah I like that I don't I don't mind that whatsoever I think it it just really comes down to price because last year he got heavily overpaid yeah you know what I think he's gonna have to take a big cut I mean we gota listen to our Channel sometimes you want to put him in there over Dwayne let's take him Brett also mentioned or no he said no we got Dwayne we still have Smoot right here yeah oh I'm sorry who are you talking about well so you're for Romeo oh gota gotta yeah he's a he's a defensive anet why you throwing me off we talking linebackers my friend and you're still talking it was it was from a little bit before yeah yep um yeah I mean it's either him or uh Clowny but let's go with let's go with Roy let's give Roy some love what's his name Romeo let's do Romeo yep all right let's see and again it's a good veteran presence even so um so it's o k w r a yep there you go Roy got you and I think he he would probably start over Kingsley Jonathan you could probably flip-flop those for sure definitely I know there's a little delay on the broadcast so there's like a 15 second delay from when we're saying something to when you guys hear it so maybe yeah I'll put it on that I think the only thing again so this is my last pitch this is why I said Dwayne smooth is just because of the size aquara is more like an edge outside linebacker dend whereas Dwayne Smoot is a true like he's like a a run stopping defensive end if you will and he could still rush the passer he's 63275 so that's why I initially put him there but if we're looking at strictly pass rush I think Romeo akara is the better choice so let's stick with him but that was my whole reasoning for Dwayne smooth if if if you talking pass rush then I'm down for it because what happened towards the end of the year even in the the Chiefs game couldn't touch couldn't touch momes so let's get some more pass rush I think we kind of you know with the guys that were draft and Fisk or sweat at Oliver um you know the inside's going to be absolutely phenomenal oh is and then on the edge you got Russo we know Russo what he can do as far as the Run game goes I want to see him get more pass rush as well B Miller hopefully he comes back um you know a better version of what we saw last year and I think we will see that um okay cool um Tyler mavich one of your favorites special team Specialists getting up there in age my friend you know I sorry to say this I I just think it's time to move on but let me you know go ahead make your pitch keep them uh I'm not going to make him pitch I think it's time to let him walk listen love Tyler mikavich he's a captain great special teams player but it's time yeah I like how Roy says at the end of the day we're all gonna be wrong about most of it anyway I know Roy right probably probably but it'll be fun see if we hit on any of them and I think maybe some of the draft ones that we're talking about will hit on but uh M cavage you're saying goodbye yep I think it's time to say goodbye yep unfortunately Al righty so in the linebacker world we got two spots I think we kept five active last year yeah and I have a name that I think actually would fit pretty well in this defense he's not going to be a starting linebacker by any means but I I like the kid a lot and I wish Che Tre rev was in here because I know he's a big Notre Dame guy but JD ber so everyone talks about Maris loul I think JD Bertrand is perfect for us in this case because he'll be a good special teams player so we can take him in like the sixth round you know late round I think he'd be available fifth sixth round um he'll play specials for us and actually he's not bad in coverage so for a nickel defense I think that would be a a nice nice uh selection for the bills there at the W side linebacker let me put him in there in a second Jordan Jefferson was he a draft pick yes draft pick y I I want to kind of denote the ones here that picks and free agents uh you could even put the round there you could say Javon Solomon draft pick4 Jordan Jefferson draft pick slash Five Braden fist draft pick slash two let's do that then when we hit it you'll be really impressed you like oh I know right yes yeah well sweat and well sweat would be number two if he hit that again that's my pick that's why I want put it on the board there but you Fisk at two yeah yep right both of them you're saying in the second round both of them in the second round yeah okay just do that second running out of room here I know it all right uh let's see so linebackers I think we just need one okay you already gave me a name who is it so JD Bertrand out of Notre Dame um very prototypical size for a modern day linebacker 61233 but what I like about him is he's mature he's a fifth year senior actually he's graduate transfer believe uh and what he did at Notre Dame this year I I I liked him a lot overall analysis for me he's going to be a late round guy but he's a dude that's gonna play specials he's disciplined and like I said he's not bad in coverage um actually played pretty well for the most part his coverage grade is decent too I'm looking at him right now on PFF 70.5 so it's average you know little average his name again sir uh JD Bertrand so J D and then Bertrand b r t r a n D and you could put uh six round for him okay all right so I think F5 is plenty and of course you don't want your you know we'll have AJ clein on the practice squad so so feel secure with that guys I know all of you are uh every year baby everyone wants AJ back there so I think we filled the linebacker crew um good there let's get into the the cornerback so big discussion here so this is kind of why this is kind of fun Trey white do you think he and let me just bring up some things he was one of my potential cut candidates and here's the four that I have on my list I'm sure other people have some on theirs I think nahim Hines and we didn't get we haven't gotten to the offense aside but since I have the slide up here I'm going to bring them up um you know if we release them it's only 500k against the cap and uh we're saving almost $5 million so to me when we get there don't be surprised when I say I don't want I know I know Brett's a big fan of nahen after he had that two touchdown return game just Jing I don't know if Brett's a fan of him but um I just I just don't think um I think we have enough uh talent to uh um to replace him uh Deontay Hardy um another one interesting I think he's a potential cut uh 4.1 million we would be saving Trey white is a $6.1 million savings um he's dead cap is 10.3 against the cap he's going to be making um $16.4 million J which is insane so and then Mitch Morris and again I love Mitch Morris um I have the little column here extension I think for me I would I wanted to fill it in with a yes you extend him for two years and again we're not on the offensive side but maybe it'll help us go quicker when we get over to that side so I believe you you extend Mitch um for two years or or even yeah even three okay I like it yeah I mean with the extension then too you kind of Kick the Can down the road a little bit Yeah Mitch Morris you know I don't know I don't think he necessarily took a step back last year uh I think he is still a top five Center in the league in my opinion I think he's still very good and I know he's 30 years 3 he'll be 31 I think at the start of the year um my only concern is you know he's already sort of alluded to possibly retiring at some point but you extend him for even two years or something you said three Mike I said three but you're right I would do it at two that way you um you know the the cap hit is is severe you give them a nice signing bonus and and fantastic okay um yeah Trey white we got the Birmingham stallions prime time out there um this our boy uh battlehawks who renamed himself the Birmingham stallions guy is a he's been he's had three different names I know that chatter says cut Trey I'd like to hear on everyone else you what do you think about Trey because this is important um it's a lot of money and I don't know you know he has I haven't even heard anything and last time he was injured with the uh the torn ACL I mean it wasn't until uh what was it Thanksgiving when he returned and I don't know have you heard anything about his injury how he's doing how's the rehab going I haven't that concerns me yeah sha mcder talked a little bit about it uh he just mentioned that he's working his tail off to get back so it sounds like he still wants to play football which is encouraging and I heard a really good um I guess possibility and a way where we can keep Trey white uh and this is basically just restructuring him and allotting some of that cap hit to a signing bonus like you said Mike so you would basically take like 8 million and then put it towards a signing bonus and then you like would gain 8 million back away so there is a possibility that we could restructure Trey white and keep him on the roster and actually get more money back than we would if we were to cut him so I think the only conversation you have to have is is he G to be at the level that we want him to be at because he will be taking up a roster spot and we saw how long it took him to come back from an ACL now he's got to kill his injury so that is like straight up that is your explosiveness and at the cornerback position that's really tough to come back from so in your opinion what do you thinking here got to make the call um I I think we restructure him and we get eight million back if if we can make it work like s said I encourage everyone to go to S Capo's Twitter he uh he talked a little bit about it and said this is how we could restructure him and bring him back and it was a really interesting proposition and I'm kind of for it to be honest because I was all on like hey it's time let's let TR go like six million that's a lot of money but if we can get 8 million back like that would be kind of huge all right well let's let's say that let's restructure let's keep that there and we'll talk a little bit more when we look at the uh the lineup on a well we're about to get into the quarterback situation so let's take a look there um if he if he return like first of all we got the bur stallion saying that this will be his third year on IR if he comes back and so we'll see we'll see um Deontay Hardy I don't that's a guy for me it's a cut for me I don't have I don't have any reason to keep Deontay no har I mean you had that beautiful return for touchdown Which changed the game against Dolphins without that we don't make the playoffs we lose earlier yeah we lose earlier but uh I mean I think with the speed that we're looking to get on the wide receiver um I think you can you know and how we utilized him I don't see like if we get the guys we want on in the wide receiver room I don't see him getting on the field at all yeah I agree so let's cut we're gonna let him go so we gained 4.1 million there that's nice and then Hines same thing I don't have anything that makes me want to keep him I'm conflicted with this one because I know I know I just want some more I just want some more out of that like I feel like the fact that we traded for him too I think that's my biggest gripe you know and if I'm gonna give Trey white another chance I feel like I Gotta Give nahem Hines another chance and by the way that's our running back too then so we don't have to worry about signing another back or anything like that and I get we can get some cheap labor in the draft or something like that but I think he can still be a weapon so I'm not ready to part ways with him we just don't know though right we don't know about the injury I mean it kept them out all year don't know what that looks like coming back like what was the true injury did they ever say did he Terror something I don't know what it was sounds jet ski every ligament every freaking ligament in his knee I believe it was Mike which is brutal so yeah that's concerning right you want to get and it's different with him and Trey white Trey White's been a part of this team since 2017 right and nah hims was uh we traded for him what was it uh two years ago yeah um I think gave up Zack Moss yeah and so I don't know I don't know guys what's the channel thinking here on uh nah Hines I like I like what Roy says I like Ty Johnson we're gonna I want to resign him there's your second guy what I say you can convince me on that and and I think another thing too with with Tai Johnson is he still offers that special teams value too he could he a kick returner too yeah so let is a free agent but you know we signed him cheap last year and I think you can get him cheap again so all right we're going to let him go you convinced me Mike I like it we're saving some money here this is let's go let's get back we're doing this so we can keep Trey white we're doing it for the greater good I like it all right so tough decision here and yes Roy you brought up a good point man would you to be being right now and have to make all these decisions like mahy I think michah Hyde's gonna make it easy for us I mean we talked about earlier on in the show I think I think he's gonna make it easy easy for us by um retiring yeah and let's say he doesn't retire Jake unless Channel this is for you as well you resigning Mah Hyde I mean they have to be pretty cheap right yeah and I mean everything if it's for like a veteran minimum contract I'm not GNA say no but we've kind of already he's kind of already written his goodbyes to Buffalo like it'd be kind of awkward to bring him back now you know I agree I like what Brett says here he'll retire and come back as a coach there we go in Buffalo very nice Brett I'm for that for sure yeah all right Taylor R so Taylor R you know initially I wasn't seeing what I was expecting to see but then towards the end of the year he was getting more play time I liked how they were rotating him in more made that big play against the Steelers to close out that game the playoffs and then we you know he injured himself we didn't get to see him I think you he's got a Super Bowl ring he's got experience I want to sign on what's spot trk saying that his market value is going to be 5.5 million so that's a steal too bad they're saying the base calculated value they're thinking two years 10.7 million so I'm here for it let's he's young enough you could even do a three-year with them right and then really uh keep yourself uh keep your cap pretty low but what's his age bre is not Brett is not about that one it's a WAP on rap's career in Buffalo so Brett why was that sir why are you thinking that what I mean Jake what are you thinking I mean what's your thoughts on on Taylor um you know disappointed a little bit but I still think he has the talent he's proven himself he did really good things in Los Angeles for Five Seasons and um I was really excited about this one so this is a guy I think you got to give another shot to and for the market value I don't think that's too bad as a safety I think he's worth it so Roy I saw you bring up Savage in one of our other shows um yeah let's take a there was something I didn't like about him let me go review review him real quick let's check here I like Darnell Savage and actually looking at what he would command it's maybe a little bit more but it's not totally not totally off Jeremy chin would be pretty sweet too Brett I like that not a bad name that's fair those are all fair his size what's his what's his height and weight Darnell yeah he's uh see 5'11 yeah I thought he was I thought he was a little over six foot so he's a little bit shorter 511 198 no I'm sure Tor wrap what's Tor wrap he's probably not that much bigger T RP I think is six right on the nose six foot 208 yeah let's see here W not even find Darnell Savage would be a nice get I wouldn't mind that um and really you know agewise these guys are all the same now you would love Jer Jeremy Chin's Jeremy Chin's size he's 63 220 and former second round pick Southern Illinois kid has done some impressive things for the Panthers throughout his career so I'm curious to see what his market value is because that is an intriguing name to me Brett and actually out of all the ones we' mentioned so far definitely the guy that I would want most let's see yeah let's take a look at what that is um don't forget I mean I'm I'm one of these spots we're drafting a player and I already have a name for it well I know who you're going with your boy Killin Bullock you know it what's the deal with Jeremy chin is he BR is he available yeah I'm not either he's ready to go somewhere un wanted is what they said but I think I don't think he's available though right now at least I think he's still he's still locked up all right maybe he's on the trade block I didn't hear much about that though by the way you know who his uh uncle is Mike Jeremy chin no Steve Atwater really yeah talk about a guy that could lay the lumber yeah all right so Savage so Roy is say what is SA what was his uh Mar fail did you say that already uh it was a little more than Taylor RP I think it was about six to seven million so not too too bad I mean again he's a young guy and I I would not be opposed to that um Jeremy chin is a fre I don't see him on this list which is weird I don't know why it's not showing yeah maybe they haven't listed under a corner by a mistake I don't know it's weird I I just had it filter by safety but yeah it's weird we got some important on here so so Taylor R let's make a decision here we resigning Taylor I think oh they do show Jeremy chin actually okay no he is on this list he was just down low interesting yeah what's he what's his age what's his height what's what's he priced at so Jeremy chin is 26 and he's 63 220 love it and looking at the cap hit here it's it's really not bad I mean it it would be be maybe three million a year really I think we do it I mean shoot why not that's pretty damn cheap I would take him over Taylor R to be honest with you I think we need a uh a fifth guy right yeah we're not gonna just are we just GNA roll with h well we need a fourth but I know we're going to draft one so right I don't think I don't know if we kept five last year uh we technically did because of Demar Hamlin so push have Cam Lewis who can play that role and cam right yeah exactly all right so so here's the deal so if you're gonna take him you're going to release rap because I feel like we got to draft safety I mean there's some really good safeties out there um kayin Bullock's one of them there's another guy that I'll bring up um but he's out of Miami big dude he's like 64 220 James Williams yes yes yes yeah I like him I like him and Cole Bishop those are my two guys late round guys so all right guys what do we think uh chin is a free agent yep we could get chin or do we sign Taylor R it's a tough decision here very tough decision I think uh with the fact that Jeremy chin is cheaper that would be huge um the only thing is I I agree with what Roy is saying uh so Darnell Savage more of a free safety uh R more of a strong safety I think Jeremy chin also more of like a strong safety but you could play him either or so let's go let's go Jeremy chin I like it Brett let's do Jeremy chin right there we'll take him over Taylor RP oh boy so here's my thought I think when a player plays for the bills um and they've been in their system for a year that'll always give them big leverage especially if they I mean he wasn't horrible it'll depend on what mcder thought of him U his evaluation but that does give him an edge on any free agent and if it's a slight difference in money I I think they'll tend to bring back the guy Taylor rap but let's go with it I mean the thing is like I you know the upside I think is just higher with Jeremy chin like he had an injury riddled season last year I think he only played like eight games or something like that but I mean this is a dude that was in contention for Defensive Rookie of the Year his rookie season which was a couple years ago but like he's a playmaker so I wonder I love I wonder why he wasn't okay was you said kind of fell out of favor in Carolina like I feel like he just he wasn't vibing with that team and sometimes it is just a change of scenery that they need you know so okay it's not like here's the thing like Taylor rap obviously I expected a lot from him but what he did it just wasn't enough for me I guess to justify paying him five to six million and not paying like you're gonna pay Jeremy chin half of that you know yeah all right so Dean Jackson I want Dean Jack Dean Jackson back I really do I don't I don't think I mean can you take a look at the the what the market value is for him I don't think it's gonna be much it's kind of like remember when Levi left yep and I think Dane's a better version of Levi and similar yes Levi only got like $4 million to move on I just think Dane he's been with our system he's done a fantastic job at times it's guy I want to bring back I agree I agree with you let see what he has here sometimes it's tough to navigate on this but it's always interesting to see what they have them listed at uh let's see so like around three million which I think it's worth it wow oh hey Brett kind of throwing me for a loop on this one that's hilarious I'm Sorry Miss Jackson but you're gonna be a Buffalo Bill love it let's bring him back we bringing him back cam Lewis track you're not out there to defend him but um I think for his versatility you're G to get him on the jeap you're gonna get him for a minimum um contract once again still young um he can play corner he can play nickel he can play safety any play special teams I think there's no way you don't sign this guy I agree I agree I'm here I'm here to resign cam Lewis absolutely although Brett kind of changed his mind there saying cut cam which disppointed in that take disappointment come on now all right we're gonna draft the safety and uh I think Jeremy chin is the starter day one I definitely put him as the day one starter but uh you're thinking here yeah yeah I do I think oh man all right I'll tell you what I'll let you take that but it ain't gonna be for long if we get these you got to remember too we play we play some dime defense Mike so this guy will still be on the field so it's one of the two like if we're GNA take kayin Bullock um we took him in the second round of our mock draft yeah I don't know if he's going to to the third round but if he's there we're snagging him if he's not there um was the gentleman I said James James Williams James Williams yeah I kind of like him like if we don't get um bolock in the third fourth round fifth round we might be able to get Williams what I'm saying so let me put mine let me put my one here because I want this young kid dude he's 63 he's 190 he's quick he's a ball Hawk you want a ball Hawk this is your guy go check him out absolutely um over at USC making plays um lanky too he's 63 Buck 90 dude is all over the field man he he will make plays for us I guarantee you and he's got that youth on him all right there you go so I think we take care in the free safety position I think uh we resign Dane I think we're good here yeah we just finished the defense let me see how many players we got because we got to keep an eye on that we got the three six nine 28 so we had 29 to start we might have to might have to come back and look at this if we don't get down to the 53 all right let's get over to the offensive side finally we're already an hour end how do we do it the rush hour um we're trying to rush through the hour but it's not it's not happening it doesn't happen all right we can try to make this quick though I think some of these things so Gabe Davis there's no way I don't think he's coming back I think we uh what I'd love to have him what I like to have him sure if the price was right been our system long enough we know what he can do sometimes but I don't think he's coming back so can we say bye to Gabe and wish him good luck Jake yep absolutely what round for bulock I think there's a chance that we could trade up and maybe get him in the early third round um but I don't think he's going to be available much further after that I mean maybe he's available in the third round um I see him as a late day two early I'm sorry late second round early third round pick yeah like I said make some moves make some moves Bean got 10 draft picks make some moves so we we we'll say we got him in the third round right so I think right here Jake we we don't have to waste any time we're gonna draft a receiver um and like you want them round one who's it gonna be I'm going with my guy I'm still saying Xavier like it we're doing it people might not love this because we're taking him at 28 I think he's worthy of 28 that's Bas in his name uh two T's and it's z uh x a v i e ER yep forgot that I agree with you so I've been watching a lot of the film that you've been posting in our Discord by the way we didn't even talk about that shame on us we have a $100 giveaway going on join the Discord uh Big Stitch embroidery and apparel you'll have $ if you win this to spend there we'll show that at the end of the show uh we'll bring up the site show some cool things and by the way the official official seller of Nickel City mafia merchandise that's Jake boy xaver yep zaver leet yeah oh he's been selling me you know now listen Jake hit call tube right yeah one G too by the way Jake hit Z flowers he was all about Z flowers last year and he hit him Z flowers was fantastic for Baltimore but he's tried to sell me on some other things that I wanted to refund on so but as far as receivers go he's on it so if he's saying look at and I've watched the film that jman posted on Discord he sends me a lots of things on on um on text I'm all for it man he he gives me bigger c Flower Vibes like he's a big dude he's like what 213 or something he's 61 but he's well six 223 223 and he runs a 43 you said it even was it him you said was like even clocked that like a 42 n or something crazy yeah they hand time they got him at 42 something nuts yeah I mean laser he'll run a little bit slower than that but yeah it'll probably be high 4 threes I anticipate yeah so uh so Weston saying uhh Mitchell looks great let me just say this at uh if it drops to 28 and LSU Brian Thomas is there and look and and Xavier's there and uh what was the other one troy who I'm a big fan of as well Troy Franklin Troy another big guy 63 um runs a 43 High 43s those three guys are available to you sir you sticking with your guy here is this it because he's not right now he's not projected as a first rounder I know um does that matter I don't really think it matters just go for what you need and what this is what we want this is what we're rolling with all Brett I'm not very high on Keon Coleman so I've looked at him a lot and um I think he's going to be a second round guy I like his size I don't love his production at Florida State um and he just struggled to get separation there and when you're struggling to get separation in the college level me and Sean talked about this earlier you struggle to get separation at the college level that only is going to make it worse to the NFL level so to me I'm kind of out on the Kean Coleman sweep Stakes yeah that's well put Gabe Davis 2.0 yeah I'm going to um cut deont because we said we would when we're looking at the cut candidates get rid of him and Trent sherfield I mean so first of all um you get him on the cheap wasn't very impressive last year good decent blocker but didn't show up in the past game um I'm not I mean if if we were desperate maybe because you can get them on the cheat but I think we get we got better options Jake I think you can get a better option in the draft as well yeah I mean we already got our number one in the draft but I think you can get another receiver later on down the road and we could talk about a free agent as well but are we good for letting uh sherfield go we are yes all right let's do that real quick thank you uh Trent C share so um let's see here so we definitely got some holes to fill here at receiver um but I do want to talk about one guy here um that we do have on our f Futures which is we actually have three receivers right we got Brian Thompson don't know much about him but I do know Tyrell Shavers out of San Diego State big guy 65 64 65 um I thought he was more of a 43 44 but it looks like he's more in the 4 five range so is um Justin shorter as a matter of fact so and then we got Andy Isabella so I think you one of these two and KJ hamler who's been around for a while I think it's one of these two that elevates and makes the team and probably Isabella yeah um because I mean I don't know I wasn't a huge fan of him he didn't do much last year but people talked him up at the beginning of the season they loved him and it was okay but I think it's one of these two what do you think I would agree with that I think I think we go Andy Isabella there just because he's already got the the tenure all right let's do that fast guy quick could be your return guy as well to replace Deontay Hardy yep all right let's do it I got to find this real quick I I'm very curious about this now what's up I just want to see where where like NFL Scouts have this kid going because um which one so we had we had Andre OAS last year as our guy right Mike as like our our underrated you know ivy league dude so there's a kid this year uh out of Holy Cross so you're talking Patriot League kind of a similar division right similar type of uh play if you will um he's not as big not as tall he's 61218 though he's got good size good decent height and weight as a receiver Jaylen Coker is his name out of Holy Cross and I'm intrigued I um I think maybe a six round Talent a kid that could come in and and do a lot of different things he has the size to play outside not sure if he has the NFL speed to do so um but his route running is very impressive to me I started watching a little bit of tape on him caught him I I saw it on Twitter or something someone was talking about uh it was on like NFL draft diamonds and they were talking about some small school prospects and they mentioned Jaylen Coker and I'm like I'm gonna start watching some tape on him I was pretty impressed and Holy Cross not really noted as like that big school or anything like that but it's an interesting name for me um and that's a dude just to keep an eye on but if I'm going to take a guy in the late rounds at the receiver position I'm probably going to go Luke mcaffrey but I just wanted to mention Jaylen Coker yeah had to do it listen look at this if if this was the deal if they did do this WOW it' be fantastic yeah but but then again you you have so many needs like uh defensive tackle is a huge on for me and so is safety yeah but be fantastic so look I for me on the to fill that final wide receiver spot I think it's going to either be Shavers or it's going to be somebody that we draft or a free agent now we should look let's take a quick look at the free agency market because this is what this whole thing's about um let's go take a look who's out on the free agent Market that isn't going to cost us an arm in a league that would bring uh be some uh bring some nice value it's wild that Odell Beckham is still commanding it says 11.9 million a year that's crazy like he showed the ability that he could still get separation and can play but I just like I still feel like you are heavily overpaying for him it's just crazy to me crazy let's just sell out and just go for Pitman right let's just just whatever beans got to do I don't care make the money up here right no but let's look at some reasonable ones here um I think somebody um talked about Hollywood Brown Aris Brown yeah he's he's going to be a lot of money probably about 15 million a year no I mean marus brownie they only paid him 2.9 last year he hasn't really been did they really yeah I mean remember he started with Baltimore right and then he went um and then he went over to Arizona yeah right I think Bratt mentioned him are you sure he got paid I think I thought that was a pretty big contract no no take a look I mean I'm on spot track unless they wrong there but he's over on yeah 2.9 he really never did pan out wasn't was he a first rounder for Baltimore or a second rounder first rounder yeah he had he had a 10,00 yard season but um that's really interesting me they cut ties of them wow yeah so no I know that I just yeah yeah I mean still you know this year 51 for 574 not bad but the market value surprises me well okay so market value does say 14.8 million so that's interesting where are you looking for that because uh we're talking mares brown right yeah Mar Hollywood Brown oh maybe because uh let me check this out out here yeah so that's why he was still rookie cont I say yeah if if Gabe Davis is Gonna Get You know 15 million-ish or 14 million I think mes Brown is better than Gabe Davis yeah my bad my bad I didn't see on spot track I had it to but no you're right because his current contract I mean still his average salary but yeah it's his rookie contract that makes sense what about uh so throw out some numbers to you what about KJ Osborne I mean he's some money he's going to command about let's see here what are they saying 7.5 two years $15 million deal um again it's it's a little pricey but not crazy um what about this guy Gabe Davis out there he's looks like he's gonna be commanding something like I it's crazy what is it 15 14 million 13.6 so oh Brett says Jake scroll up to find that 14 million comment let's see what he said here Brett uh so he said million for Davis I remember another Davis that only lasted half a game I love to see Bean slammed the door on Davis faster than 30 minutes wow crazy you know here's an interesting name alen Robinson now I know his production isn't what it once was but veteran receiver still did some decent things in Pittsburgh last year like he's not putting up crazy numbers or anything like that but still caught you know 34 passes 280 yards actually started almost every game for the Steelers last year so that's a name and he's got decent size um I think he can still play in this league and he be on the cheap and he's a veteran presence what about like a guy like van Jefferson yeah yeah I like van I don't know what his market value would be but I'm assuming it'd be a little bit higher but he's been injured he's been injured yeah that's probably that's why his market value is not there they're saying 2.3 million get him for a one deal W i' do that in a heartbeat absolutely would do that and uh I mean he played played 591 snaps last year so yeah that's wild decent number I like van Jefferson I mean his dad is Shawn Jefferson you know that former Atlanta Falcon I did not know that yep um he didn't have any touchdowns um let's see how many targets did he have let's see here he had like 200 something yards I think he didn't have a lot of yards either yeah so again former rounder which is interesting right yeah I mean very promising his rookie year um I like what Roy says here too Noah Brown yeah I mean he had a couple games where he really popped this year for Houston so not a bad option either ultimate sleeper love this name we talked a little bit about this yesterday Weston tight end brevan span Ford 68 Mike 68 268 or 67 268 dude's huge and he's athletic he moves smooth like he looks good on tape like he looks the part he's not just a blocking typ end and he doesn't look awkward so Noah Brown I do like what I see out of Noah Brown and they're saying he's uh probably going to command uh he got 2.6 last year a little over five million this year market value two-year deal wow or 10 so I'm down for that as well um anyone else that uh your favorite guy Braxton baros How many years have we talked about trying to get Braxton bar right and I feel like he always signs a decent contract and then he disappoints every time all right so let's make a decision here who's going to be um that guy let's see here who we pick up from free agency I I feel like we're going to we seemen to do it all the time um you are the GM Jake we threw out some names the channel threw out some names who you you picking Buddy the motto for the bills is to get bigger and better so with that being said for the price you can't be it let's go van Jefferson all right I would love that I think that'd be a great pickup for us and obviously the productivity hasn't been what it was or anticipated um but 61200 he's athletic and I think he can contribute so yeah David Edwards um I want to Res nice name Donovan peoples Jones actually that was a guy that was on my radar talked about that name actually uh in our very first show just on some guys that we might want to consider so love that Roy yeah good name this guy's a year removed from an 800 yard season too so not bad yeah let's see what the let's see he's only dude he's young so it seems to me he's goingon to be pretty priced pretty high but let me see he's falling out of favor a little bit in Detroit he was traded 2.7 million is what market value is and you can sign up for a one-year deal he's uh you know what's his what's his size what's his height good size very good size um that'll be 63 all that's tempting man 62 204 do we take another one Roy I mean Roy been killing it Roy's been pretty on with it yeah but I mean you look at like the numbers too like I said 2022 he had 839 receiving yards did some good things I was very impressed did he get hurt last year did something happen so he was traded uh he was traded from Cleveland to Detroit and honestly in Detroit it's tough to get playing time when you're behind like Aman Ross St Brown and Jameson Williams and some of those other dudes so it just wasn't going to really work out I think he's fallen out of favor a little bit and it wasn't like he was on a you know a big contract it was a one-year deal so should we take Donovan people jnes so that we can blame Roy when it you know let's do it let's do it Roy I freaking love it man yeah we're taking Lions left and right Rome aquara and Donovan peoples Jones I don't mind that one bit I don't either and actually bigger than van Jefferson he's 6224 van Jefferson 61200 fantastic yeah you know I mean and cheaper if if they're under F under six foot I mean I don't really want to look at them and he's only 25 years old too I mean right David Edwards I think that's a you know get him on the cheap I think it's an easy resign for me bring him back all right let's that let's move right along here um Quinton Morris I mean he's a restricted fee agent I think bring him back yeah uh so he's an exclusive rights free agent so it's like if you're less than three total Seasons with the team you automatically are on the team we have the rights to his contract um yeah so yeah I would say bring him back yeah uh Kyle Allen everyone's favorite backup here I think you know look we do have a we do have a quarterback Shane bu on our futures uh Shane Belle yep know much about Long Horn yeah uh bounced around a little bit played at Texas I know Josh likes him um he's a smart kid I don't think he's qb2 material or anything like that honestly I like what Brett had to say uh Joe Milton maybe draft a guy Joe Milton out of Tennessee talk about a huge arm I mean this dude might compete with Josh Allen for best arm in the league dude can freaking sling it highly encourage you to watch him tape he got banged up this year what was the injury was it a ACL or something like that it was a pretty bad injury that he got but this is a due to that I think had it not been for the injury he um you know he probably plays won's really pushing NBS man he's really pushing nvx because you can get him on the chief wouldn't that be great here's what I see if we do Bon be careful what you wish for we take him we play you in the playoffs and nvs goes off and has the winning touchdown so just be careful those type of things you're putting out there can come back and bite you yeah I like how bad is he and what's he projected he projected to be drafted or un you know it going to be an undrafted free agent who's that Mike sorry the quarterback you're talking about uh they're saying like fifth round and onwards so it could be fifth to seventh around there yeah let's let's go let's go big you got a big arm to match Josh and like so huge freaking arm by the way height and weight 65244 all right big boy and he could run and he could run and I got him confused with Malik hooker I don't know why I was thinking Malik hooker is the guy what's his name or henen hooker I'm sorry sorry not Malik hooker mik hooker's a safety I uh Joe Milton Joe Milton and let's say we steal him in the fifth round too because we have two fifth round picks all right let's do it so that'd be kind of cool we might lose one of those if we're starting to move up the board a little bit I think we're gonna have to like to get something but I like that let's let's let's finally draft the quarterback um and somebody with a big arm is always good especially in Buffalo all right I think uh for me we can quickly go over to Ty Johnson I think that's a resign you're GNA get him cheap I loved what I saw of Ty Johnson we talked about that already so let's bring him back you're gonna have to remove nahe Hines there too yep by night let's get rid of him Ty Johnson could be that number two guy I mean I'm move right now he was a nice change of pace I I mean he's a little bit bigger too than James Cook not afraid of contact can play specials so yeah I'm GNA make this easy Damen haris with all his injury problems no way I don't even know if he's coming back on that injury that he had right so let's get rid of him and L tavius Murray I don't know I think you can draft I mean he was I mean good value gave us some good snaps yeah um let's let's uh let's Mo on unfortunately yeah and um you know I wish Tre rer was in here because he's really been pushing for guys like brillan Allen or audri EST two big backs but the problem is You' have to probably take those dudes in the third or fourth round and I I'm not willing to spend a third or fourth round pick on a running back especially in this day and age so if you're gonna go with the guy um just trying to think of maybe someone we can get late I like Kendall Milton from Georgia um that wouldn't be a bad option he's 61 220 so you talk about replacing latavius Murray you want to replace him with someone that's bigger um you know Tai Johnson himself I think is like 510 200 around there so normal size right but Kendall Milton I like him a lot he's a big physical back he's a downhill back too um so for me let's go with him okay did you look at free agency at least I think you should uh I didn't even I didn't even consider it yeah yeah take a look I mean because you know we're gonna we're gonna pick somebody up so let's just see if there's any probably will any steals out there zek Elliot I think Zeke based on the year he had he's probably commanding still a decent amount of money 2. s million is the calculated market value right now one year 2.7 million for Zeke yeah running I'd be for that I thought he had a pretty good uh decent last year for for he wasn't bad I mean he definitely looks slower but he did some good things I mean still caught 51 passes 6 Plus rushing yards yeah I mean at that price it's going to be hard to uh sway me now Jake yeah that's not bad at all and I mean really when you look at size too Zeke is not bad sizewise so I think if you're going to go sign him maybe sign Zeke and then you still draft the guy too we could put Kendall Milton on the list get him in the seventh or sixth round well this is for a 53 man roster so I don't think you would draft he'd be starting for so I think you go practice squad so yeah let's go with it free agent seek Elliott I do want you to answer uh Weston's if you could please uh Jake who's the quarterback in the draft you think will pan out um I think I'm officially sold on Drake may I watch some more tape on him and to me he is a modernday Philip Rivers like Philip Rivers with legs and he would probably benefit from sitting his first couple of years but um if he has to get thrown into the mix he has the tools to do so so for me I I really feel like Drake May is that guy he's probably after so after our show last night I'm like all right I got watch more tape on him because I personally was leaning more towards actually Jaden Daniels over him but now that I really look at it Drake May's a stud man so he's gonna pan out he's gonna be a good quarterback in this league and I think he's Philip Rivers 2.0 yep Roy totally agree uh Zeke is we're signing him done deal yes he is yeah yep all right like that's awesome yeah I was just saying that Mike so you put him at the quarterback position oh did I where where where did I buy that yeah go to offense there you go could run wild cat him behind hey that'd be a pretty sweet formation so I feel like most offenses now have that quarterback that they can kind of throw in there and let him run you know there's a few teams out there that do it uh Joe Milton man he's 65244 this dude can run and he's a bull he's like Cam Newton so all right Jake we have we have big decisions here again we're doing this is a prediction of the 53 man roster as well as the dep chart we right now you got to consider we have the Three Special Teams the punter kicker uh Reed Ferguson Long Snapper we're currently with offense and defense alone we're at 53 we got a cut or not cut but release three more same thing almost but possibly resign them on our practice squad so we're we got to make some tough decisions here and Channel please help us out Roy you've been killing it so let's go yeah Roy been tonight I love it let's finish this thing up on the offensive side let's start there this time we'll work our way back um and let's just make sure we don't have like last year I feel like they kept six receivers on the active roster I don't think we're over there [Music] um I don't know we're not too far I mean we got 25 on the offense right now and I don't see much room I mean it looks oh oh first of all we should have corrected this Tommy Doyle oh yeah we got some potentials here we I don't know how we missed these guys Tommy doy I think guys is gonna be um he's not gonna make the team he'll probably be signed to the practice squad he does well he does have another year but I think they would release him and I really believe they'll go to Mr Richard garage oh I like that so I'm going to bring him over um gorilla garage would love it we're still trying to get get a deal with the gorilla garage group there in Buffalo so let me do that let me bring him here I don't know how I miss them and then he wears 75 75 um Al and I think everybody else everyone else look pretty decent here I mean nobody else that we kind of missed um I meant to talk about I mentioned ear but I think everyone else is is set I'm good with it yep right so we got 25 here let's look at the defense we got to let go three more I feel like we're at the same number that we were last year maybe we're that looks right yeah I think we're good there defensive side probably is where we're a little heavy um defensive end uh we have what four we have six defensive ends so we probably can definitely um move a couple one of those off who would it be so I don't think they I mean can you remember how many did they have last year if you put it through your go through your head on that it was six total um but it was actually five because V started the year on the pup list but I believe towards the end of the year it was six when he came back healthy so but I know that uh sha Lawson obviously was brought up and down too a little bit um this is a good point by Roy too yeah Elan who could technically go to the practice squad again yeah feel like he's just a practice squad lifer unfortunately um so yeah true if we if we get Quinton I think you you definitely becomes the second guy for sure all right we're gonna move him he'll be back to the practice squad yeah um nobody jumped on him last year so right well he did go to Atlanta for a hot second and he came back did he I think that was the year before actually now that I'm thinking about it so never mind all right it's two more we need to get rid of here I think are we heavy on so we're right at where we were with defensive ends right you said we had six we got six um defensive tackles I feel like they went with five last year right yeah that's right yeah okay yep um probably the linebackers where were a little heavy maybe did we go with more than four last year at any time in the active Squad I think it was five just because of Tyler mikavich he was like the outlier there so technically it was five because of that um could we get away with four definitely Demar Hamlin probably a healthy scratch too A lot of times he was he was yeah I know for a fact he definitely was uh so Fist and sweat so that's just basically I only put that in there because I want us could sweat Jake said Brad and Fisk so it'll be one of those two so we're not get I mean I would love tandre sweat too don't get me wrong if he's there but I just feel like round two if the bills don't move up to like pick 40 he's probably gone yours is yours is more probable I mean that they're going to do that but yeah if we could if we want to make moves if we want to get a guy that's going to set us up in a real good uh position we go off spat but so two more guys guys we got to get rid of so uh we feel like we're good on the defensive end we're good on the defensive tackle where are we heavy where are we heavy is it corner I don't feel I think so I mean you're gonna force me to cut cam that's what you guys are doing I see it right now you're gonna Force UPF oh my goodness yeah this is tough is there anything else I mean I think Corners were good so Trey white is also kind of an outlier because you know he was out for the year so he wasn't technically on the active roster at the end of the year correct but we have so at any we had Benford when he was playing uh we had we had rasul rasul is going to be there D's the question mark we're bringing him back so by bringing him back it's forcing my hand on one of these others it is man this is tough wow yikes well one of these guys is gonna have to so it just counts as one Roy it's a tough decision man do we put cam Lewis like on the he's a special teams guy though we got to keep let me ask you this okay and I hate to say this I just got to ask dear hin is he a guy that you keep I think he's a cut Prospect unfortunately I think he is I do um yeah anyway I love with the channel says are you sure Hamond makes it I'm not that's what we just say yeah good point right that's what I'm saying yeah um you hate that too I mean I what with what happened of course I want to I'm always cheering for him for sure you know do you have um Saran Neil on here too or no I don't and I don't know why we're definitely missing someone there right I didn't see him on the uh arlets bring up arlets did you see San now CU I don't see him he should be I know he's still on the roster yeah let's see so now you're going to make it even more difficult for us he is so he's actually listed at the nickel corner behind cam oh okay what's his number 33 33 yeah yeah oh man I don't know how I missed him San Neil oh boy guy so now we still have uh a couple to cut I think you're gonna cut dear Hamin okay cut theor it's fun it was fun I love him yes yeah the thing is uh like said we have Saran or Cam who can play that safety position if needed right um that's what's that put us at there we got three so we technically could 27 we're still over yeah what we're really going to do is keep these guys and one of them's gonna get injured injured thrown on the I it's really what's gonna happen but for this for this show we're going to get down to 53 and whatever magic has worked in the back end to keep these those guys that we have to let go I believe that that'll happen but right now I think we got 50 actually did we get there let's see on the on the defense we had 27 and on the offense 25 52 two guys have to go yeah and why you're thinking why you're thinking what's he say so he says one of the things I've learned from watching Brett Beach GM for the Chiefs uh for the last five to six years if you can't as you can't keep fan favorites around if you're going for titles he gets rid of people if it makes sense yeah I mean perfect example is like Tyreek Hill I mean everyone thought there's no chance in hell this Chiefs team's gonna win a Super Bowl now they've won two back-to-back Super Bowls and he pulls the trigger at the right time you guys have more draft picks than God and they're all panning out it's it's actually sickening to me but great for you but yeah you're spot on with that absolutely wow Jake two more must go yeah this is this is rough I'm almost gonna say on the offensive side of the ball maybe we maybe we put Richard garage back down to the practice squad oh okay you know because I I was actually impressed with Ryan vanderark and here's the thing this is the beauty of uh Ryan Bates this dude could literally play anywhere on the offensive line he came into the league as a tackle and now he's at Center and it's not ideal but I'm just saying if it really comes down to it we need an emergency guy could always kick him back out I don't mind that one either because you know you could put Alec you got uh um where's the other one where's Van the Mark here got van the mark he he did play a little bit at right but boy I was impressed too actually with Ryan vber I don't know I felt it was left tackle he was good at right tackle he struggled at and at least when I saw him um I do agree we got Ryan Bates who can play tackle if we had to an emergency so all right this tough decisions here not quite yet he'll get there he will get there someday M he's still signed he's on the practice squad so I don't I'm not concerned anyone's goingon to snag him there we go we're down to 24 here we need to cut one more and uh man now we're getting to where this might be right Isabella back to the practice squad too yeah nobody's snagging them but that means we're going to have a five which is okay I mean you have two very good tight end end and we play a lot of um tall Personnel so right and Quinton Morris too who's very athletic honestly yeah yeah so I think that's that's probably the right move there Roy again man we may have to promote this guy we gotta get this guy in the GM maybe he has to take over we got I'm gonna send you a mic and hopefully you have one and you got a you got a camera W to I mean everyone out there in the chano has been hanging out with us yeah don't be surprised this would be crazy if so I do want to hear your honest thoughts on this Weston so do you think that one of them is for sure gone between him or Chris Jones I feel like they're both coming back I don't know just have an inkling now you want to talk about the hometown discount here there's a situation with Chris Jones now he's gonna get a lot of money but you know he's gonna command at least 30 million somewhere around there maybe he does only because he wants to be part of History they got a shot to go three in a row and they have to get that deal done they have to he excels in that defense uh with spags so I think he's coming back and if there was a HomeTown discount it's not gonna be much but hey he might give one a little bit what's up Chad chadad we Chad we we gotta go later for Chad maybe we start at seven because Chad's Chad's a late guy he's he's that's how we found us remember we went late that one night yeah yep yep good to see you Chad he says I think they're both coming back for sure Chris Jones but need is want ridiculous guaranteed number then Beach will trade him for picks I love it there is no emotional attachment whatsoever and that is why you guys are successful you're spot on with that man yeah yeah definitely so there there is there it is Jake our 53 man roster uh we talked about releasing people we talked about free agency talked about drafting so I'm going to go through this slowly um I'm just have it on the screen so we can go back to this when we actually get to uh first game of the year right before when they get to their Final Cuts uh we can look back in the spreadsheet and I'll keep the spreadsheet and we'll compare and then we'll and then when I'm on our first shows we'll bring up the spreadsheet I'll have everybody either red or green for where we missed um and where we might have hit so that'll be fun that's awesome I'm excited uh can you quickly just go to special teams just for the hell of it because you know how much I love my special teams right I don't have them here okay I don't have them on here because I mean obviously well we can talk about that Sam Martin probably yeah could be could draft the punter we could pick someone else up I think Sam Martin is a potential cut for us I do too and who I want to replace him with is a former Buffalo Bill coming back to the bills Corey borquez Mike just had a phenomenal year in Cleveland and I'd be all for it and by the way he punts with his left leg so the way that the the trajectory of the ball goes and all that stuff it kind of confuses returners especially with how he places it and he had his best season as a pro this past year and he's only could command it's like one and a half million so it's not too bad all right well let me do this here um player yeah maybe two million still and um we're saying Martin's gone and we're going to put in uh well let's see here position so punter you want to bring back you want to bring in who Cory borquez baby so this is this is a good spelling c r y for Corey and then or has B OJ o r quu EZ Q EZ yes sir I get that and you got to remember he spent some time here in Buffalo so he's used to playing actually all the teams he's played for cold weather teams bills Packers Browns kind of cool there we go would love to bring them back though all right I think uh Tyler comes back yep better get his act together better get his back together yeah and then uh we got um of course the longest tendered Buffalo Bill and uh a guy that I'm working hard to get an interview with on our Channel Mike I messaged him again anytime you post a story I always comment on it yep and I don't think he has a uh his messages or whatever they don't go through unless it's a uh like um it has to be approved or whatever something like that I reached out to Eric wood um because I saw his podcast right and I was surprised he's only got a little bit more subscribers than us I'm like how that's crazy I mean I know he's new but he has he he has access he has Bean on there he has all these players on there let me let me um zoom in on that so I did I instagramed him right yeah nothing crickets I even said hey um my co I told him about the channel said my co-host Jake meu um at the Philly game at a bar think you had a drink with them I didn't say shotg I should have said that right shot I should have said that maybe but I reached out I'm like it'd be cool to have him on there if we can get one of those guys I even said we had Andre I kind of mention we had Andre on there seeing that that would persu them but a lot of those guys man they they have somebody uh working their social media and they're like no don't even respond to it yeah definitely oh I love it uh Sean look at this uh said just wanted to say hey of course as soon as I come in we talk Chiefs is this the chief's Channel now I'll be rewatching at work tomorrow no not a Chief's Channel Sean uh he did mention yeah well he is much improved and as a holder as well to answer your question Roy oh whole hell of a lot better in my opinion he was he had a pro bowl season and if it wasn't for um Tommy Townsen he would have been a pro bowler himself was it Tommy Townson who got the nod I think it was for the AFC pretty sure it was have to confirm that real quick so I think we know that can you imagine a starting lineup um they come out they introduce stuff course K Shakir in the slot I don't I think last year they started 12 Personnel I I think the first AJ Cole my bad was it 12 Personnel they started with Jake last year when they corre offense came out y so I I could see that again and then you have Diggs uh Legette and Kalo and when you need them so they we're loaded we're loaded yeah Justin shter um I think shter is gonna I think he's going to make the O Squad I really see it yeah and then we and then we got Donal Donovan people Jones and free agent love it did some good stuff how about this me as the other Gunner I'm here me and Saran Neil we're gonna line up we're gonna how about you buddy um Sean how about you be the Gunner buddy I love this West Saint Steve Tasker his favorite bill of all time actually let me uh show showcase that one right there Steve Tasker there we go got him and thurm get him in the the hall baby in the get them in the hall please yes all right so I think we did pretty good I mean there's uh it'll be fun to see how we did uh it was a lot of fun again something different I do like Brett's idea maybe if we do this again next year um where we do a mock draft first and then take those mock draft players of course the thing is you got to know who you're you're going for right basic we would had to do some Cuts I think ahead of time and um you know not resign some folks and then once we know that that would kind of guide us on our Mock Draft so we'll figure it out first time doing this I thought it was fun made us talk about everything yeah uh Weston let's see Jake there's two other really famous Hall of Famers from Kansas can you name them oh here we go well I know that um Gail sers went to Kansas so I don't know if you mean that or like legitimately from the state of Kansas because Steve Tasker is from the state of Kansas so that would probably make more sense right is Gail sers from Kansas I don't know if he was but I know that he went there and obviously he was great um trying to think of the other one this is good this is a good question I like this lately yeah what's going on here maybe I gotta start to do you gotta start doing more those trivia things you do the Sparkle and the other thing you better get back at it man I think you've been slacking a little bit definitely have for sure yeah yeah Chad this is from the state okay this is wrong I mean Steve Tasker needs to be in the Hall of Fame I mean honestly come on man Not only was he a great special teams player but he was a damn good receiver Kelly continued to fight Kelly wanted him out there great names and a special teams coach would be like no um I can't risk Steve getting hurt but eventually Tasker got out there and when he was there I mean you can cover him it's like R Walker yeah um yeah so he needs to be in there get him out there how about these names froma from the state of Kansas Barry Sanders and John Riggins unbelievable oh yeah I love rins Yeah behind the Hogs right that old line Barry Barry Sanders uh and retired too early probably did it right um to avoid injury how teammates with Thurman Thomas baby and he backed up Thurman believe it or not he was the starter when Thurman left can you believe that can you imagine that Thurman Thurman killed it in college you you're not gonna you know you're not going to jump ahead of him but Barry my goodness dude he was like a fantasy football you you wanted that guy in your fantasy football team crazy back when the running backs really mattered back when you were drafting running backs in the first round Jake out of the first 10 picks you know half of them would be running backs yeah exactly different different times for sure there's no doubt yep well guys

just saying if this team goes up against the Chiefs in the AFC divisional round from this past year I think we're winning that game Chad I don't know about you but I'd be a little worried I mean we got some depth now and we're healthy like that's awesome yeah I agree all right well let's get out of here thanks again everyone we'll see you Sunday night and uh we'll we'll have something new for you so I appreciate your time Jake as always a lot of fun take care man absolutely go bills oh wait wait wait wait wait got a question he always answer our questions John Paulo Keefe we know much about the new quarterback coach yeah uh Ronald Curry he um he was actually he played in the league for a little bit played with the Raiders and uh I like the move it's definitely interesting I know he's been with the Saints for like the last eight years and um yeah I I think he's going to have a good relationship with Josh it's always good to get a former player as your quarterback coach too and he had a really interesting transition so Ronald Curry he played quarterback in college transition to receiver in the NFL play with the Raiders for a few seasons and uh obviously got into coaching and stuff like that like I said he spent the past eight years for the Saints um comes over here to Buffalo and I like the move I think it's a solid solid job there so yeah I'm excited about it I agree thanks for the question John uh where we go live at uh was is it 9:00 P p.m. Eastern Wednesdays and Sundays hopefully you can catch us a little earlier and we can uh chat it up with you we do have a Discord yeah come on join us links in the Des think I think Ronald Curry too they were saying that he worked with um Joe Brady in the past too so they already have a previous history which is good it's always to have a nice report that is extremely good yeah all right looks like the family's uh opening the door saying dad you said 1 hour on the rush hour and it's two hours so I better going we'll see you soon everybody take care hey go bills
