On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by recurring guest Chris Ostrander (Two in the Box) to react to the Buffalo Bills being aggressive to find improvements to their roster over the past week in addition to the Buffalo Sabres remaining consistently disgraceful as their season mercifully is near an end.

It's been a week of a lot of Bills news and reactions on this podcast and that continues today with Chris, who primarily covers hockey but's very plugged into the the Bills as well. He's got thoughts on Buffalo adding three new veteran bodies to the defensive line that come with a lot of experience and question marks, but also plenty of upside.

Turning their attention the Sabres, it's been another absolute embarrassment as Buffalo is dead last in the Eastern Conference and 30th overall with just 18 games remaining to play. Patrick asks Chris for his reaction to claims that captain Rasmus Dahlin is fed up to the point that he told current general manager Kevyn Adams to fix things soon or he wants out. Dahlin publicly denied the claims but do the guys believe he's at that point? One thing's for certain----- Dahlin and Tage Thompson are two stars on this team who instead of being properly celebrated are just rotting their careers away with this organization.

Speaking of, Chris has thoughts on if retaining Adams beyond this season is even sellable to fans. That plus what's going on with UPL's regression, Jack Quinn's future and tons more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Matt Warren of SB Nation to discuss the first three days of free agency for the Buffalo Bills and specifically what's become an overhaul of their defensive line following three significant additions.

It wasn't exactly a secret that the Bills were going to look to improve a defensive line that was good at times in 2024 but also floundered too often as well, none more than last year's AFC championship game loss in Kansas City. Bills general manager Brandon Beane took some pretty big steps to try and improve the unit this week, signing Michael Hoecht on Monday before the big one, Joey Bosa on Tuesday and following it up with a third addition on Wednesday morning, Larry Ogunjobi. The guys break down all three moves and discuss what they like and don't like about them, and there's plenty of both on Bosa and Ogunjobi.

Beane also addressed safety on Wednesday, bringing back Damar Hamlin on a one-year deal and also signing Darrick Forrest. Patrick thinks Hamlin being back is a reflection of an open market that rejected him, something Matt definitely disagrees with.

With these moves plus the signing of Josh Palmer and re-signing of Ty Johnson earlier, it certainly appears the meat and potatoes of the Bills roster is set heading into NFL draft season next. That's with the exception of cornerback. Both guys have thoughts on where this roster stands as well as some reaction to happenings around the NFL and plenty more.

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran reacts to day two of free agency tampering period for the Buffalo Bills, including a nighttime bombshell of Buffalo signing edge rusher Joey Bosa to a one-year, $12.6 million deal in one of the biggest risk vs reward swings of Brandon Beane's tenure.

Day two was calm for Buffalo in terms of moves and it felt like Beane's sole focus could be maintaining the Bills running back room after re-signing Ty Johnson to a two-year deal and bringing back Darrynton Evans for his third stint with the team. By the way, Patrick explains why he absolutely loves the move to bring Johnson back although many fans were ready for that to not happen in hopes they'd see more James Cook in 2025---an idea that Patrick explains as stupid.

But the big news happened at 9:22pm when "Beane After Dark" struck again, as NFL Insiders reported the Bills signed Bosa to a one-year, $12.6 million contract included $12 million guaranteed. Patrick has a slew of thoughts about this move that could be a strikeout as easily as a home run for the Bills. What should fans love about it? Hate about it?

That plus what the Bills still need going forward, hopefully in advance of the NFL draft and much more. Wow, what a night.
