OBL 3/4: Top Outcome For Bills In Free Agency, Matt Verderame Previews Free Agency Moves

March 4, 2026·1 hr 30 min·8 clips

Steve Tasker recalls asking two Buffalo bar patrons whether a Bills Super Bowl or Sabres Stanley Cup would mean more to the city.

Brownie is away. Steve Tasker opens with Josh Reed on mic, jokes that he needs range time after a rusty hosting day, and tees up tweets plus Sports Illustrated's Matt Verderame. Then hockey sneaks in. Tasker talks Sabres, season tickets with his son, parking, traffic, crowds, and how different the building feels now. It is very local radio, in the best sense. The football talk tightens once free agency math comes up, especially the odd value range around Malik Willis. The number does not quite sit right. David Edwards becomes the comparison, because paying Willis only half of that feels strange when quarterbacks matter this much. Josh keeps pressing the question. Willis, Daniel Jones, and Kyler Murray get stacked as talented but uncertain quarterbacks with very different contract problems. If Tasker has to pick one, Willis is the swing he likes. Kyler lands well behind him in that argument. Aaron Rodgers makes the idea messier. The simple version is: sign Rodgers for one year, pay Willis, and let the older quarterback tutor the younger one. Then the practical part shows up. Would Rodgers even want that job? The plan only works if he is bought in. The close stays loose. Boye Mafe is the current free agency name, with the caveat that it might change by tomorrow. That is the rhythm here: more free agency ahead, Josh in for the week, and room for Sabres talk if the hockey keeps warming up.
