‘”Not at all. … That’s like one of the best corners in the league,” Allen told TMZ when they caught up with him in Los Angeles.’

‘Thomas began to slow down toward the end of his Bills tenure and eventually struggled with injuries during his final season with the team. He spent a lone year with the division rival Miami Dolphins before officially retiring after the 2000 season. He became eligible for the Hall of Fame in 2006 and was officially elected on the second ballot, joining Rayfield Wright, Gene Hickerson, Michael Irvin, Charlie Sanders, and Roger Wehrli in the Class of 2007.’

‘”That’s a pick waiting to happen,” Ramsey wrote.’

‘Unfortunately for Beane (it seemed), the Browns drafting Denzel Ward at No. 4 and allowing the Broncos to take Chubb at No. 5 meant that the deal was off.’

‘Allen — and Newton — are not WCO quarterbacks. Their big arms and sporadic accuracy make them much more useful in a vertical-based offense, which is becoming less popular by the year in the NFL.’

‘Although Brandon denied the claims, there was still some major tension between him and the Pegulas because the investigation had uncovered that Brandon had been deceitful about the allegations and other job-related issues.’

‘According to Bills GM Brandon Beane, the Bills called Allen to talk about the tweets on draft day. According to Syracuse.com’s Matthew Fairburn, Allen took ownership of the tweets, despite embarrassment about sending them.’

‘And while Bryant will eventually sign somewhere, it’s hard to imagine any team paying him as one of the league’s top wideouts. Instead, Bryant, who is more possession receiver than deep threat, will be looking for a contract similar to the three-year, $21 million deal the Ravens gave Michael Crabtree last month.’

‘The problem for Allen is that his Twitter nightmare didn’t go away after he got picked, instead, it might have actually gotten worse. Just minutes after the Bills’ selection, people on Twitter discovered two specific tweets that Allen had sent out about Katherine Webb, who you might know better as AJ McCarron’s wife. And yes, that’s the same AJ McCarron who was just signed by the Bills this offseason.’

‘”Man, it was great,” Tremaine said. “Definitely to see my other brother get drafted tonight, it was a big time relief for my whole family. I know everybody’s excited and I’m excited. It’s a long time coming, but we can finally say that we made it.”‘

‘For Bucs GM Jason Licht, this is a fantastic deal, as he lands two premium second-round picks in exchange for moving down five spots. For the Bills, they get their man, a big-armed, physical specimen who can whip the ball deep.’

‘Understandably so, Beane didn’t want to delve into Incognito’s tweets besides letting us know that Incognito is still retired. And at this point, it’s clear that we should trust his word over Incognito’s. That doesn’t mean Incognito won’t eventually try to un-retire, but as Beane indicated, a couple of tweets won’t be enough to make that happen. A process away from Twitter needs to take place for Incognito to return to the field, if that’s really what he wants to do. In the meantime, the Bills are proceeding as if he’s not coming back.’

‘In addition to the previously unknown health concerns, the 34-year-old Incognito remained angry that his base salary had been reduced from $6.3 million to $3.6 million for next season. Of course, he agreed to that pay cut last month, though it came with a $1 million bonus, ostensibly a gesture by the team to let Incognito know they wanted him to return in 2018.’

‘This is actually a brilliant tactic by McCoy and that’s mainly because Incognito has made it pretty clear this offseason that he was upset by the fact that the Bills asked him to take a pay cut. Not only did he fire his agent (THROUGH TWITTER), but he flat out told MMQB’s Peter King that he would consider returning for the “right price.”‘

‘If the tweet is legit and Incognito is truly moving on from Athletes First, that’s an odd way to approach that decision. The tweet itself is quite a rollercoaster as well. Incognito started off with a strong Trump-esque “you are fired!” before wishing the company well, and then closing out with a peace sign emoji. What a ride!’
