I just had a meeting with some marketing people. In the meeting i voiced my displeasure with social media from a personal standpoint. I know it is necessary for my business. I wish people would take a deep breath before they hit send. Or ask themselves, 'why am i about to post this for the world to see?...what is my connection to this?'. Lawson may go on to have the best career as a lineman for the Bills since Bruce or he may be the next Flowers...right now lets wait and see. Put down the rocks.

I hope or coaches can reach and communicate with Jones. Meyers comment about Herman leaving left me with a little insight into the regression by Jones. It also goes to show right situation means positive results. As for his draft position, someone would have taken him in the second. No doubt. Jones would of had solid numbers at the combine and a good pro day. A team would of talked themselves into it.

Great read. The journalist did a good job, It read like a comedy. I don't feel sad for Caldwell nor am I disgusted. Sounds like a guy who eventually will figure it out and be ok.

Love to see Hogan do that on a 4 and 7 this year against us. Hogan across the middle for 6.5 yards. Bills ball and they run out the clock to win in Buffalo and win both games against the Pats for the first time in like 20 years.

What did 'they' say about Kyle when he was drafted? and if the Underwear Olympics changed this authors opinion on Washington, that makes me less interested in the authors opinion.

Word fromAthens is he will be back 100%. Chubb is a hard worker, I think he wil be all good.

Some of the chatter was about his ability to maybe kick out to RT if asked and or called on. It may have been fan supposition.

I would of agreed with up until a few years ago. I had to make one of my employees get their eyes checked. They got glasses and at leats that problem got solved...now on to the next one! Ha

Well they have everyone back from last year starter wise. . Valascoe takes Urbik's spot. I do agree continuity is important on the oline. I also have to think the Bills have a positive feeling about Hendersons chances of keeping his Condition under control for the most part. If a solid tackle Vet shakes loose later in the summer , I'm sure the Bills will look at it as insurance. The fact the Bills brought in Slausson speaks that they would like a little more insurance if something happens to Henderson.

yeah, he may need a year away. Stay in shape and try to come back once he can sort through things.

i am assuming you are most likely joking? Fred was barely with this coaching staff wasn't he? He has little to no value to BB from an intel stand point.

Do not Jinx us man! Ha Last off season everyone was confident the D was going to be solid...

The foot ball field is one place where age quickly fades when it comes to respect. If a guy can play he will get respect. For a linebacker it means being decisive and knowing your job. Then executing that job. By all accounts Brown was hesitant and thus 'lost' some of the vets trying to call the plays. The coaches did not give him a lot of support by not getting calls in quickly. Lots of areas for improvements. Hopefully Ragland is a natural leader.

The Falcons have a history of overpaying in FA for wide receivers. In a league of 'see what happened there?', let's hope Sanu doesn't have a good year with Atl...that's what could drive the price up more for Woods.

I am guessing it depends on how the Bills would structure the deal. What does Whaley and Co value more? The Bills could bump up Gilmores hit this year and next(from what I read here the cap goes up next year and the Bills have room to spare next year already). This might provide them with more flexibility for other key signings in 2018 and 2019?

I don't think we 'need' that much. It is more or less just a question in how much would get free'd up by getting a deal done w Gilmore.

Exactly. Some people on here are bullies. Just because they have a high post count they feel they can say whatever they want and it is truth. It just isn't.

I just read that the Bills now have north of $14mil in cap space. That does not include rookie deals I believe, so they will eat some of that up. Theoretically if the Bills could work out a new deal for Gilmore how much more space would they free up? I know Bandit seems to be the best at this stuff. Take it we sign Gilmore to a top 5 corner deal.

What if this Zimmer kid becomes the next Kyle. Similar size. And seem more the agile penetrating interior guy. Yes he is white. Whenever someone comes from a small school they must dominate the competition. Zimmer did that. 13 sacks for an interior lineman. Hope this kid is the type that elevates himself to his level of competition and can adjust to the speed and power needed in the NFL.

I love being condescended. Not sure what your background is but seing as you are on here as much as you are , you probably have about the same football knowledge as me.Go look up starters in NFL that were drafted vs UDFA. I am saying things have changed from now since 1985. Information that is available now vs then has drastically been improved. Expecting 4-5 eventual starters from a draft is not unreasonable, I think it will begin to be the norm in the next 5 years.

Why not? Why can't a team do that? Finding 2-3 starters is not some insurmountable task. Have a few more that develop into starters with a year or two of practice, coaching, and training. I am betting that of players starting in the NFL something like 80% or greater were drafted. Use FA to fill in gaps and for rotational/ depth. To be a great franchise you need to draft great. that's where it starts for talent.

The Bills kicked the tires. If he leaves without a contract so be it. Slauson and his agent know there are going to be injuries in camp, someone will need his services. IF the Bills did not offer a deal Slauson thought was good enough he will wait. I do not think the Bills should over pay for his services, I was ok with heading into camp with what the Bills have/ see what cuts are made later in the summer and camp. I think Slauson would provide nice depth and flexibility, but i trust Whaley and the Bills FO.

McCoy is typically one of the top 3 players on the field. Anyone who denies that has an agenda.

Got to agree. Or one of the other top CB/DB's.
