I find it hilarious that Eddie Lacy and Jordy Nelson are trending on Twitter right now because of how ridiculous Rodgers is haha. What a tool.

Does his tweet mean that, or that he might want that or maybe had just agreed to that deal? The way it came off I thought he was saying that to refute the false claims of what he wanted or may have turned down. But I didn’t look at it closely either cuz I don’t really care about his contract situation.

That’s a good point actually haha

Hahaha for real, can’t believe that pile of nonsense is still persisting

Hahaha I’m not actually haha, but fair assessment. It’s just that free agency and this thread is already cumbersome to stay up to date with as it is, and blatantly obvious fake tweets just keep compounding that issue.

All good, you’re a good poster, it happens.

NEW THREAD RULE: If you can’t tell the difference of what is a fake tweet from a random person and a tweet from a credible source with real info then just stop posting Twitter links here.

People need to stop posting every fake post in this thread. Geezus.

Well I don’t doubt it was real at some point given he’s clearly in the picture, but it’s not a real post from March 13th, 2023 was the point.

Thanks for clearing that up, that’s about what I figured it was going to be. Lmao, those aren’t rumors 🤦🏼‍♂️ Why do people keep taking random tweets and nonsense as evidence of rumors? Lol

I mean just go to his IG and see that this post doesn’t exist. Now we are gonna get 20 pages of people weighing in on this fake post.

I haven’t seen a single credible source link the Bills to Cook. Where are people seeing these rumors that have showed up in this thread? Because there have been several now that don’t even show up in the rumor universe of twitter. The only thing I’ve seen on Cook is Shady saying to link the brothers in Buffalo, but that’s not a rumor, that’s just him saying to do it.

Texans traded Hopkins because he wanted out and they began cap cutting and rebuilding. Titans traded AJ Brown because they didn’t want to pay him a massive contract. Vikings traded Diggs because he both wanted out and had cap issues. There’s no mystery to why those 3 got traded. There is a mystery as to why Denver is trading Jeudy when he is cheap and they have invested a massive amount into the passing offense in the last 12 months.

Denver has traded away 3 firsts, 3 seconds, a fourth rounder, and Noah Fant to get a QB in Russel Wilson and an offensive guru head coach in the past 12 months. So why are they willing to trade Jeudy who is on a rookie contract 2 more years after they invested so much into a QB and coach for the passing game? He has potential, but if someone is willing to over pay they will take it because he’s had health and drop issues over his first 3 years while averaging 700 yards and 3 TDs. He clearly still has potential, but I think the issue people have is with how much people are willing to trade for him. I think most would be happy to see us get him, but it’s the compensation to get him they are concerned about because he still has a lot to prove.

Hopkins did not have a down year, he looked as good as ever this year.

I don’t disagree that they value MIlano more, and they should. I would have kept Milano over Edmunds too, especially since he’s cheaper. Milano is the Jordan Poyer of LBs…a guy who leaves it all on the field, among the best at his position, but for a long time didn’t get the credit he deserved around the league. It was nice to see him get some recognition this year and get rewarded with another contract extension.

I just felt like they attacked more with Luke and used Edmunds more off the ball.

Milano is a Bill and Tremaine isn't because Milano got drafted and paid first. We couldn't afford to pay both, and need to invest in the offense as well. Especially with what Tremaine got in the open market. But keep you biased hit campaign going, I know its your schtick.

I am also excited to see how the defense plays if McD calls the plays myself. The defense is getting a little make over though, so hopefully we fill the new holes with competent players too where McD can be aggressive in games.

I am not sure why they used him different, but they definitely did. Personally, I think while the system installed was McD's, I think it had more to do with how Frazier moved the pieces around and called plays inside McD's system. I would actually be quite curious to what it would look like if McD called the D with Edmunds still in it, but obviously that won't be happening. For whatever reason, they frequently use Edmunds more like a 3rd safety than an attacking LB. And my personal opinion as to why is I think because of Edmunds freakish athleticism they feel like he can make up a lot of ground fast. They did seem like they turned Edmunds more loose this year too and he ended up having his best year where he was used to attack the ball more. We will see what happens in Chicago, but I think Edmunds is going to prove better than all the people cheering his departure think. People cheered Fletchers departure too and regretted it later. I was fine not resigning him as we need to divert some of the money from the D into the offensive line now, but I do think Edmunds is going to do well in Chicago. Just my 2 cents

Gotcha, but I was seeing earlier in this thread a couple people mention some 3 way trade with us getting DK Metcalf rumor. So when you put him on your list, I thought it had to do with that. It was that rumor I was wondering where it was coming from...you having a personal wish list I get, just didn't understand where this other rumor was coming from.

I totally get the QB comparisons, but D-Hop didn't have a bunch of injuries or the dropsies. Jeudy has had both. And again, I am not at all against trading for Jeudy on his potential, I am just objecting to the compensation being so steep to get him. I would do it in a heart beat for a 3rd, but Broncos won't go that low, and I could stomach a 2nd. But some were suggesting multiple 2nd's, or a first and a player like Oliver or Davis. That was were I was like that is way too expensive. And thanks for the compliments, the feeling is mutual. Ultimately, the way I see things is that I am looking at a 2 year SB window before this team sees a lot of transition of the roster and maybe even the staff. If we traded for Hopkins, it would likely be on a restructured deal that would probably mean he is here 2 years before the team gets outs. Jeudy has one year and then a 5th year option, so essentially trading for him only assures us 2 years. If Jeudy excels next to Diggs with Allen, he might be too expensive to resign in 2 years unless we move on from Diggs. And if he doesn't have a big market, that likely means he didn't live up to the trade compensation if we gave up a lot to get him. So the only assurances I see is both would be here 2 years, during the peak of this rosters SB window as its made up now. I would rather have the elite WR in Hopkins for that run than a guy who has potential, but has not lived up to his draft expectations. Especially if it was cheaper to acquire Hopkins. Then draft a young WR or 2 during the couple of drafts to develop behind them and get multiple years out of them on a rookie deal during Allens prime years. But again, I won't be upset at all if we trade for Jeudy, we need WR help...I just pray its not for the prices I see floating around this thread.

Why do people here keep speculating on DK Metcalf? I have not found a single tweet even remotely suggesting any kind of DK trade, or any news for that matter, let alone to the Bills. So where is this coming from? And why would they trade DK after signing Geno anyway? Not only can not I not find anything about a DK trade rumor, nothing about a trade DK even adds up for Seattle after extending him last year and paying Geno.

With the way the market is going, maybe we can get Poyer back on a reasonable deal. I would be good with that

Well to make matters worse, some were wanting to offer more than a first for Jeudy. If we traded #27 for Jeudy and a 3rd, then that is a different convo. I could handle that more than trading a first and Oliver/Davis like people have been suggesting. But, I still think getting Hopkins for less and then drafting someone in the next 2 years to keep on a rookie deal for the 4-5 more years after that is more appealing.
