We all know that's what they should do. I asked if you feel confident that they would.

I understand the tanker viewpoint. But I think doing so is telling the season ticket holders to bend over and take it up the a$$. So I would not call myself a tanker. But I have said, and do believe, that if a contender wanted Shady (and his contract), and was willing to make a fair trade, I'd be for it. Shady has a limited amount of time left in the league. The Bills certainly aren't going to be contenders any time soon. But you believe the Bills FO would have told shady they were shopping him, or considering offers, if the rumors are true?

Digital only I believe, so maybe.

Watkins found out in the media (ESPN if memory serves) that he was traded. I have no idea with the Bills intentions are for Shady. And if I did I wouldn't tell you guys But if you believe what a NFL GM said to a star player who asked if trade rumors are true or not, I have some nice swamp land to sell you. We, including Shady, won't know until the trade deadline is over. And that's true of any player.

They do need to legalize (or at least decriminalize) at the federal level though just so the dispensaries can deal with banks and not need to operate as a cash business. Banks can't work with those companies because they are technically breaking the law.

The day before the Watkins trade he probably would have grinned about that as well. You never know until you know.

Having it be legal would be a plus though. Mass is legal for recreational use now right? But NY and Ohio are not ... yet.

I wonder what, if any, financial and otherwise backing they are getting from the Pegulas. I could not find much information on this Buffalo Star. Could be the Pegulas are tired of the Buffalo News as well.

No one can say that the Pegulas are not trying to raise Buffalo up.

All well and good. But are they willing to work with Bills, Browns, and Jets fans on their pain management?

Correct. But all mgmt needs to do is trade players like Watkins, Shady, Wood and the team they field is not likely to do well.

In the wake of the first 2 preseason games, Watkins being traded, and all the tank talk, Bill fans will grasp anything positive they can get.

It shouldn't be in any players vocabulary. But it largely out of the players hands.

You must be kidding. The 2018 1st alone and I make the trade!

You forgot the part about using their first round and 2nd round picks to move up for said cornerback ... or kicker.

Boy is this a crap shoot this year or what. Watkins gone, rumors of Shady on the blocks and therefore full tank. I wonder how many would change theirs fairly significantly if they could

Should be a poll. But eclipse ... but not by much if all goes well.

If the rumor mill means anything, Shady traded and the full tank is on like a mofo.

It always depends on how desperate they are.

I think it would be fair to Shady to let him play his remaining years on a contender, so I would be OK with a trade. A starting running back and a 3rd is a good first request by the Bills. Then when the GM stops laughing they can start negotiating. I'b be ecstatic if they could get a 2nd for Shady given his age, how much he has been used, and his current contract. More likely a 3rd without the starting RB is what I would guess the Bills could expect.

I voted other. People on the sidelines.

OK, NOW you have gone too far!!!!!

I'm not a pro-tank person because people are paying very good money to watch the team play. However how has being mediocre for the past 17 years worked out for the Bills?

And/or he realized the team was going no where this season and TT was likely to get him killed over the middle with the high inaccurate throws and decided enough was enough. In any event, TT truly has no one to throw deep to now. The excuses are ready if TT doesn't perform well this season. The dress rehearsal preseason game coming up just got more interesting.

I have always said it has no place at sporting events. Never understood why it was played anyway except for things like the Olympics where it is people representing countries competing.
