I’d want some extras, like their 39th OA pick they got from Philly.

I meant Mittlestadt would be the main piece coming back. So yes, BUF would have to add, and the 39th OA sounds about right. Or even a prospect like Kulich, who has looked great this year.
Hanifin is from the area, and BUF has a lot of cap space (especially if they moved Mittlestadt), so I don’t think there would be any problems extending him. He would be a big get for them.
