Lol, you are just trying to be argumentative. I literally stated over and over the assumption would be a new deal in place if we were trade for him. I didn't refuse anything, I just started ignoring your attempts to argue your way into validating something I didnt say.

Yeah, I mean nothing else really makes sense right. Unless there has been this well kept hidden drama inside the locker room or something. But, still think its more likely a non story than anything. Ive seen a lot of these look at who they followed, unfollowed, or removed from their social stories, and despite everyone always trying to make it mean something, it has most the time ended up meaning nothing.

Barkley is almost a lock to be traded IMHO (even though some posters here said I was crazy and that he isnt going anywhere) and I think Bradberry likely could be out of there this year too. I also think they will try and move Golladay, but they will have a harder time finding suitors for him and his contract. Toney on the other hand, I really doubt he goes anywhere. 2nd year player, kid can be electric, and he is cheap in terms of cap space. He wasn't able to stay on the field, so who knows, maybe they just want to clean house and get value for him now (he would actually have by far the most trade value of these 3 in terms of compensation back between youth, explosiveness, and attractive contract situation) and invest in other parts of the team first like the trenches. But, still seems a lot less likely than the other 2.

I feel like this has happened with other players and it then turned out to be nothing more than someone on their media team getting ready to refresh their social accounts. I won't read anything into this until something comes out that confirms something like Murray actually wants out of AZ for some reason or wants to go back to baseball. In regards to wanting out of AZ, I honestly don't know what he could possibly be unhappy about. The Cardinals have gone all in to support him and build a team. Went and drafted and traded for weapons at WR and TE, signed guys being sought after by others in Free Agency, etc. They have been 100% behind getting him in position to compete for a SB title since he got there. So that seems less plausible to me. And I don't recall hearing or seeing any other drama around him or the team to suggest somethings wrong. Doesn't mean nothings wrong of course, but until something more concrete comes out, I am not going to read too much into this yet. So I agree with others, IF...and that is still a big IF...there is something to this, maybe its a desire to go back to baseball. But, he has been pretty successful so far in the NFL and is seen as one of its best young players, so seems odd he would give that up already and go try to start over in a sport he hasn't played in like 4 years.

Brawl was yesterday, got arrested today after Pro Bowl

Shows how little you read. I said in the ORIGINAL POST and MULTIPLE replies to you that I would assume it would come with Beane doing a new deal ahead of the trade. Not my fault you can’t read or refuse to read so you can claim the same inaccurate nonsense

Just have them all compete in the Squid Games. Problem solved. Money goes to their charity.

Yeah I agree with this, and Beane is one I have faith in to keep us in the convo the bulk of Allens career.

It’s not that black and white though. Our defensive style doesn’t match up well with the Chiefs offense. It’s not always about whose O or D is better, it’s also about matchups. Its why the Rams lost 6 straight (and would have been 7 straight if Tarrt doesn’t drop that gimme INT) to an up and down Niners team. Its why I was hoping Frazier would leave.

No offense, but you literally said “forget this defense wins championshiop nonsense” like one post ago. So no surprise that people took you as not being in favor of prioritizing some defensive issues. Facts are this: All of our starting offensive skill players are already coming back next year. Same unit that allowed Josh to throw 9 TDs in just 2 playoff games with over 700 yards passing too. On defense, our #1 CB is coming off a severe injury that usually takes a year of playing to really get back to form, our other starting CB is a free agent…at DT, our starter Phillips also a FA and Star could be gone too, our best run stuffer. I mean it’s crystal clear we have bigger issues this off-season on defense, multiple starters need to be addressed. Not to mention, we still don’t know how the FO sees Edmunds future either. Plus we need new starters on the OL too and could look for a bell cow RB. With our core offense coming back, we are talking about essentially a 4th WR here whose probably our 5th option in the offense (Diggs, Davis, Cole, Knox). So for me, that doesn’t seem like nearly the priority of those other things.

Just about about everything in your reply here is inaccurate. Par for the course I suppose.

Oh yeah, we definitely need to add someone, but I just don’t think we need some crazy move at WR that some suggest. I disagree about Cole though. He stepped up every time he was called upon, stats were down because last year him and Diggs got more targets with Brown being hurt most of the year. This year, Sanders, the emergence of Knox, that surge of Davis, and the use of the RBs more led to just less targets to go around. I think we are solid at the top 3 spots and I think Stevenson is set at the returner. Be interesting to see if he can contribute as a WR, if so, they may only add one guy and keep just 5 (assuming McKenzie doesn’t come back). If he is just gonna be a return guy, then they likely keep 6 WRs, meaning we add 2 (unless McKenzie comes back, then one more). Wildcard would be if Cole gets traded, but unless that happens, he will be back for sure.

Levi will have more attention and suitors this year, that’s just a fact. He was #2 corner on the number 1 rated passing defense and overall defense. Defense still played at that level even after losing Tre White and forcing Levi into the #1 CB spot. He’s had 2 good seasons back to back as a starter, including this past season that was arguably very good. News Flash: Levi is definitely better than a lot of people give him credit for around here. Now, doesn’t mean he will get $9M, but I am confident he’s going to get a lot more interest. So I would be shocked if his best offer was $4M a year as the OP suggests and think he will see offers starting at $6M+ personally and wouldn’t surprise me to see a team consider $8M+. I do however believe he wants to stay in Buffalo (I’m still in touch with his best friends from college, and they say his heart is in Buffalo and loves it there and wants to stay) and Beane wants him back. So I think a home town discount is certainly in play and can see him taking less money to stay. I don’t think Beane will go any higher than $5m to 6m with the contract Tre already has and the other holes we need to fill.

I don’t actually know if she is or isnt lol

Josh was 3rd in the NFL in passing yards on passes behind the LOS with over 800 yards from that. This worst YAC is a fable. Watch the games, we run a lot of plays where the receivers curl, sit down in an open spot, or come back to the ball. We run a lot of crossing playa to the sidelines. And most importantly, because Josh extends plays so much, receivers are often coming back to him or running to the boundary to give him a target. People watch the Chiefs and think we need players who can do that while failing to realize it’s not the players, it’s the offense. Chiefs offense is built on short passes with gains on the run. Mahomes led the league on yard gained on throws behind LOS by a lot. Again, our offense is not the problem, nor do we need to change it to be short strikes for YAC. We have a beast of a QB, it’s more important to support him with more protection and a consistent run game.

I don’t get this reference “let Josh Allen carry the offense” when what is being discussed is adding more WRs. Who throws the ball to the WR? Allen right, so how does that take some responsibility off of Allen? If you want to take some pressure and weight off Allen, invest in the OL to give him more protection and a better run game. And yes, you need to invest into your weakness if you want to get better. I agree though, coaches, specifically our coordinators, let this team down. Daboll called a weak first 35 minutes of that game, Frazier muffed the defensive scheme down the stretch, and don’t get me started on how a professional ST coach fails to tell his kicker what the kick type was called.

My friend is there and took a pic with Josh’s girlfriend and said she was super nice. He has great pics and videos right there on tee box of Josh teeing off. So jealous, he’s also a big Bills fan.

Yet offense is not why we aren’t in the SB. Josh Allen had 9 TDs and almost 900 total yards in 2 playoffs games with a near perfect QB rating. Yet people still saying forget defense we need more offense? No disrespect…but…How can you say defense is nonsense? Did you miss the part where the Bengals only allowed THREE points to the Chiefs in the entire second half AND OT? Or maybe you missed that part where we gave away a game in 13 seconds? Or how about the part where we gave the Chiefs 2 TDs and a FG in a total of like 4 min to end that game. Not to mention the Rams only made it to the SB because the 49ers safety Tarrt dropped what likely would be the game sealing total gimme interception while Rams were down 2 scores deep into the 4th. I mean we had one of the best 2 playoff game stretches of offense and QB play in history…literally. And our season ends because we gave up 3 scores in like 4 min to end the game. And people still complaining we need more offense and forget the defense. How does this even make sense to anyone?

Geezus. When does the season begin again?

I’ve been saying he will be the first QB taken in the draft and Josh Allen comparisons will be aplenty because of the rawness, big arm, and mobility. Doesn’t mean he will be the next Allen, just saying for those 3 reasons he will get a lot of comparisons, fair or not. Just like Trey Lance did last year. He is likely going to go in the top 10, and don’t be surprised if the Giants draft him.

I don’t disagree, with the Allen connection. I was more just down playing the relevance of them previously being high on him before he played a down

That board is long been in the trash lol. He’s got 4 years of tape to rethink that ranking

For the last time, no HC goes for it there on 4th down...none. Heck I know people who would punt that in Madden. I can't even fathom how anyone can say with any seriousness that the best choice is to go for it there. We were only down 3 with nearly a whole half to still play. Ball on their 32 yard line too. Utterly stupid to attempt a 4th and 2 there, especially since our offense had not yet really hit their rhythm. The funniest part to me is that I know 100% you would be calling for McD's head had he actually gone for it and didnt get it and gave KC easy gimme points there. You know that is true too. You are only playing this hindsight game where you know that the Chiefs did get a score anyway on the next drive to now cry he should have went for it. But had he done it and failed, you would still be screaming how stupid it was (which would be correct, it is stupid to go for it there) and that it cost us the game giving Chiefs quick and easy points. You wouldn't be on here going bravo coach, love the ballsy play call. And honestly, why are you hung up on this one play that isnt the reason we lost? We beat the Chiefs, plain and simple. It took an unbelievable error by our ST staff and players plus a foolish defensive scheme over a 13 second period to undo the victory. Then the loss was cemented by a coin toss. This fabled missed opportunity by you isnt even on the list of why we lost.

Well I think the collapse with 13 seconds was two fold...one the mess up by our ST unit (coach and players) to not make sure Bass knew it was a squib kick in play called. And two, the confusion and panic that led to terrible defensive alignments called. And Frazier calls the defense, so I have to believe it was Frazier who made those calls for the formations at the end of the game. So, I can't say that McD is conservative based on what happened in those final 13 seconds. Now, if we want to say he failed to get his team to regain composure after a stunning kick out of bounds threw everyone for a loop, that is fair criticism. Still think Frazier called the D, but everyone on the field looked frantic and unsettled. Sorry bud, normally seem to be on the same page on most things, but on this I can't fault McD for trusting our defense to get a stop versus putting the ball Nathan Petermans hands, in a blizzard, throwing to scrubs who are slow and cant catch (even when the weather is good). Still, you had to go all the way back to 4 years ago when McD was saddled with no playmakers and bad quarterbacks to cite that example. So I think that says more about how he is not conservative than it says he is.
