Shane Ray might work out fine. Let's just take a look. As for DE improvement, there's still a lot of upside for Groot and Epenesa. Basham I never thought would work out and he's performed down to my expectations, but the other two could be the solution to the need right there on the roster.

In certain years, for that team, she has a good argument...

OK, to people not paying close attention the Bills probably look stale. Same cast of characters, while other teams have stepped up. And the loss of Edmunds, not a big favorite of many fans but really important for the D concept the Bills used. And the two great safeties are both a year older. And the great CB was definitely not back to his standard when he played last year. And the great DE tore his knee pretty late in the year and probably won't be the same at the start of the year. And the great WR seems to not have his head on straight. And the great QB -- who knows what effect his personal life will have? So on paper the Bills look like old news, that should be old news, and other teams are fresh and exciting. But still, think about all the great players I just mentioned, and ask whether other teams have the same problem bringing back greatness. The Bills still are a strong team, so we'll see how things go.

Levi was among those banished for the 13 second debacle. The special teams coach that didn't call for a squib kickoff. Levi for stupidly guarding the sidelines even though the Chiefs had 3 timeouts left and did not need to use the sidelines. Some people who shared responsibility were essentially too big to fail -- too important to cut. McDermott, Frazier, Edmunds. But a marginal CB? C-ya.

No one in this matter did anything wrong except the lying girl who might have ruined the man's life and career. I hope he sues HER for damages. When the Bills cut Araiza, they didn't trash him or say they believed he was guilty. It's possible Araiza would accept the situation and return to the Bills, if they want him.

The NFL decided when it went to a 16 game season that it would not have asterisks about records like OJ's single season record. But, it's still a fact that he did it in 14 games, which means he still has the highest average yards per game over an entire season. (I didn't check that but I'm pretty sure it's true.)

Not sure if anyone else is tracking this, but the Bills are adding size, which is a good thing. Slot receiver Kincaid. Monster sized guard. Tall WR. Now, about that LB... The Bills are making a bold move not having a true MLB on the roster.

Have the Bills really been drafting that much better than the Pats over the past few years? BTW, khakis, love it.

Favre wasn't good anymore after he left GB. His arm was shot. He got TDs by throwing up ducks and hoping his receivers outfought the defenders.

The nfl.com website has a "players" tab with a list of popular active players for fans to read about. Here it is: Patrick Mahomes Tom Brady Ezekiel Elliott Saquon Barkley Aaron Rodgers Drew Brees Todd Gurley Khalil Mack Ben Roethlisberger Aaron Donald Kyler Murray Not only is Josh Allen not on the list, Drew Brees, Tom Brady, and Ben Roethlisberger are!

I think Rodgers has more left in the tank than Favre did when the Jets picked him up. The Jets receive Rodgers, the Packers' 2023 first-round pick (No. 15 overall) and a fifth-round pick (No. 170) in exchange for New York's 2023 first-rounder (No. 13), 2023 second-round (No. 42) and sixth-round (No. 207) picks, as well as a conditional 2024 second-round selection that could become a first if Rodgers plays in at least 65 percent of the Jets' snaps this year.

I'm glad you got a taste of nice weather. From the looks of the photos of the Bills coming into the facility for the offseason program, it was long pants and long sleeves weather. There were some shorts but there were also some pretty warm looking sweaters. Anyway, it's normal for the weather to be variable in the spring, but overall it's pretty depressing in April there. (Like many others I no longer live in Buffalo, but I still consider it home.)

April in Buffalo is the worst. Everywhere else it's warming up, trees are in bloom, birds are singing. I very well remember Aprils in Buffalo -- 42 degrees and clouds and rain. And this is when players come back for their first offseason activities. Too bad the CBA doesn't allow this part of the offseason schedule to be done in May, when Buffalo turns beautiful.

Not taking anything away from Mahomes, but he did get really lucky with respect to his surroundings. First, he got to redshirt his rookie year, learning on the job while watching Alex Smith run the offense. No too-early pressure on Mahomes, and plenty of time for him to figure out what's what in the pros. Second, he got Andy Reid as his HC, a brilliant offensive mind who consistently outthinks opponent coaches and who keeps coming up with creative ways for Mahomes to use his talents. Third and fourth, Kelce and Hill. Fifth, a front office that keeps finding ways to keep the roster intact even as players come and go. When a weakness appears in a given season, that area becomes a strength the next. Again, this is nothing against Mahomes, but it's worth considering whether he'd have done as well in Buffalo or anywhere else.

yeah,,,,,,,no.

I would usually take the most money, but I would also want to look at the working conditions, and the nature of what my duties would be in a new job. Players always yammer away about wanting to win. This move means the only way OBJ ever gets a ring is to use some of his millions to buy one from a hard-up retired veteran from an actual champion.

How do the Ravens pay OBJ $18M and also pay Lamar Jackson? Ain't gonna happen. This is a clear message that Jackson is going to another team this coming season, and that the Ravens are going to start the search for their next franchise QB. To me, this is all nuts. I realize the NFL-agents-media complex wanted to punish Jackson for not employing an agent, but the Ravens are tossing away the services of their best player, one of the best in the NFL. And for what? An aging, injury-prone formerly excellent WR, who's getting close to retirement. By the time the Ravens find their new QB, OBJ will be long gone, along with the Ravens' chances to unseat the Bengals in their division.

They get the money but it's not coming from their pockets, it's coming from the fans, the public. Sure, fans don't have to buy tickets if they don't want to. But they do want to. When the Raiders moved back to Oakland, they charge a hefty PSL for the right to buy season tickets at Oakland Raiders games. Those PSLs aren't worth anythng anymore.

And we traded away the pick that became Patrick Mahomes. No sense in looking backward at the draft. Everyone does their best, and sometimes it works out better than others.

I still can't believe the Pegulas get credit in this deal for the money collected from PSLs. That's money from the fans, from the public, not from their own pockets. And they even get to count the money that it costs to sell and administer the PSLs. They ARE responsible for cost overruns, which could turn out to be a lot of money, so they're not getting off scott-free. I just think the PSLs should be regarded as another category of funding for the stadium, so we could see more clearly who's paying what. A lot of what's being counted as money from the Pegulas is actually money paid by the fans, for PSLs. It's crazy.

Josh can outplay Mahomes some of the time, but McDermott can never outcoach Reid. The Mahomes/Reid combination is by far the best duo in the NFL.

Brown (and Morse and Dawkins) will look a lot better when playing next to starting-caliber NFL guards.

Would signing him affect the third round pick Beane wants to get for the loss of Edmunds?

Conlan was a great mid-field thumper, but his 40 time was measured with a sundial. Watching him chase someone was just pathetic. MLBs like him were great in their day but not now.

And early on, the Bills had Peters covering kickoffs. He would just run into the wedge and send players flying. Eventually they discovered he was pretty good at tackle. As I recall it was his agent who really pulled him away from Buffalo, for reasons that never made sense. The Bills are paying Dawkins tackle money which >> guard money. Not to say they won't do that if the tackle would be getting rookie money.
