      Why is Diggs to the Chargers even a thing? We don't have the money to fit him in, WR is probably the second strongest area of the roster behind our starting QB and if we did have money, I would spend it other places. We don't need a sulking diva of a receiver even if he is elite.

        we're not going after Diggs, and Buffalo isn't shopping him to my knowledge. That said - the chart shows cap hits but not the guaranteed salary portion. I believe, welcome correction, the signing bonus portion of those cap hits will stay with Buffalo and his next team would only be obligated for the annual salary, roster bonuses, etc., that hit in the playing years?

        I'd rather go after a power RB than another WR. or another Edge, we are always required to say Edge here . QJ is the real deal, he might be the best receiver on the roster before the first quarter of the season is over, not kidding. Pokey may be a big upgrade to the insurance policy stashed on PS. we are loaded at WR. Guyton is better than any of the backups used last year. Shit - its likely that Palmer falls to backup and is only used in occasional 4-WR sets plus occasional sub plays for Slayer and Dub to catch their breath for a play or two. We don't have room for Diggs or Hop, its the last group on the entire roster to spend more cap on imo.

          Yep...if anything, I think the biggest need on our roster is a FS...

            It's fair to say that we don't have an established top starter there. The coaches seem OK with the current prospects. My guess is they want to see how it goes in training camp / preseason. Teams will carry 90 players until after the last preseason game. Cut to 53 Aug 29. I think we'll go with what we have.
            Derwin says that he likes and trusts Gilman. We may pluck someone off the waiver wire in Sept for depth.

              I think focus on the "front 7" and the FS question will evaporate. Gilman, Webb, Woods, ??? ... it'll work out fine as long as they are not constantly expected to be the key ingredient for the defense.

                That's the 2nd biggest need. #1 is a quality backup / rotational edge.

                  Sounds like KVN...since he hasn't signed with anyone yet, he may be open to a team-friendly offer from the Bolts...But at least we still have Bosa, Mack and now Tuli...at FS, we only have Gilman, and he's gotten burned too many times for my liking...Nas is gone, so IMHO we need TWO FS's...at least sign one proven vet and let the young bucks compete for the other FS spot...

                    Why would you give a receiver a $132 million contract? Insane.
                    Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.

                      Yep, there's Derwin...keeping an eye on Gilman as he gets burned for a TD...

                          I believe he caught the ball before stepping out of bounds...for a big gainer...my point is, Gilman is better suited for SS than FS...so we really need TWO free safeties...
