Mr. WEO

his value to the Bills is a 7th round pick?

Dude, the Ford family doesn't own the Ford Motor Company...

In my first post, I mentioned McK getting a lot of reps and looking sharp in camp early, plus they know his quote is pretty cheap.

he's a bum. Bills shouldn't be his 3rd team in 2 seasons.

Beane has done exactly that (during training camp, no less), for picks.. I'm not saying they should do it, I'm describing a conversation 2BD was having, re: would he do it again this summer. With that being the premise, I wonder which player would generate the most interest and therefore value. So I mentioned McKenzie, for the obvious reasons I cited. Cheeel Win--staahn.

Another slot WR needy team could have had him for 2 million and zero picks in March.

Lol they just got him as a FA on a 1 year contract. He has zero trade value. Because they would be fine without him. Plus he’s the one guy other teams might see trade value in.

If his role is he’ll set up the organization, he’s been a rolling disaster since he arrived. He has kept the Browns tradition of being a league laughingstock alive and well. As for “his guys”, Berry was one of “his guys” a few years ago. No he’s back as GM and the first thing he does is overpay for Watson (Depodesta had to be involved in pulling that trigger). Nice! At least they have that analytics guy! Even forgetting the ridiculous cost of acquiring him, Absolutely no one would pick Watson after his 4th year over Allen after his 4th season.

So…he isn’t the driving force behind the GM, HC and QB selections. Maybe that Amari Cooper pickup?

They just get a TE2 now they gotta get 3 and 4? Why not 5? 4 looks like he may have some injury issues

The point is, If Depodesta is whispering to Haslam that the Browns are just a Watson away from being “a SB contender”, then his analytical skills are below average. The Bills paid less and didn’t have to guarantee all of it to get rising star. Browns got a guy at his peak who decided to hold his last team hostage for a year (after recently signing a huge contract with them). Watson better than Mayfield, but he’s not close to Mahomes and Allen. And The Browns roster isn’t close to the Bills or Chiefs. Bengals either. If fully guaranteed contracts were needed to get top trades (recall the other cost paid for Watson) to happen, they would be commonplace. Obviously they aren’t.

Diggs took 127 catches to reach over 1500 (never more than 10 TD--one time). With the same targets last year, his yardage dropped 20%. Add a rising Davis and the touches he will take away from Diggs, now way either can get 15TD.

How many playoff wins for Watson? Why guarantee his whole contract? That team Week 1 with Watson may not even the 2nd best team in the Division. They will compete for a WC spot.

pimp your kids out for those autographs!!

lol ya think? No one on the roster has ever gotten those numbers.

What's crazy is that this place went for above asking.

It's Orchard Park NY...

lol thanks for that sweet tip doc!

Listened to 2 bills drive a bit yesterday and then were wondering if the Beane would be looking to trade for picks. They mentioned Sammy and Darby in the past. McKenzie was the first guy I thought of as a possible trade. He's getting lots of reps and hype in camp.

lol...I knew it--vinyl on the back! Typical McMansion crap---at $233 a foot! Hard pass.

lol another scam. EARC had until this month to make a single acquisition since it’s inception or the SEC would force it to liquidate. Now instead of acquiring energy assets, it’s getting into the insurance business.

They presumably wouldn't be same the wealthy entities that gave him money for his last business venture, East Resources Acquisition Corp....

Analytics guys don't make decisions. They give input. Looks like not much weight is given to it over at the Browns. I wonder if he recommended, based on his data driven analysis, giving Watson a completely guaranteed contract, not even knowing his status.

Talking about QBs.

They don't. They make an offer, the player and the agent do the math. They accept or not.
