I'm not upset with the signing and I'm certainly glad that it's just a one year deal. I just think that the money could have been better used elsewhere regardless of having $80 million in cap space but that's just me. Beane and McDermott certainly know what Norman can and can't do and, hopefully, getting back to a zone scheme will help him. I still have doubts that a 32 year old CB will improve all that much regardless of scheme but if he contributes anything, it's a solid get. It also could have been a preemptive move to losing Kevin Johnson. They may have spoken to his agent and determined that it would cost more than what they gave Norman and don't want to go that high. Time will tell. Nobody can accuse this regime of at least not trying to get better and, if nothing else, people will have another Josh to bash. ??

Fair enough. Just don't get your hopes up for Norman or you will be sorely disappointed. I'm not questioning McDermott's defensive prowess but he's not a miracle worker. That's an expensive signing just to get a vet in the DB room. Color me extremely skeptical on this one.

Did any of you who like this watch him last year? He was awful.

Per Mike Garofolo the Bills have signed Norman to a one year $6 million deal (could become $8 million). Don't like this at all. He's toast. At least it's only one year. https://twitter.com/MikeGarafolo?ref_src=twsrc^google|twcamp^serp|twgr^author

That contract would have been another Gettleman special. First, overpay your cross-town rival with 3rd and 5th picks for a one-dimensional player that his former team was desperate to unload and then compound the mistake by throwing a pile of cash at said player. A deal this bad could still transpire if there is nobody in the Giants' front office who can save Gettleman from himself.

WGR Radio.com App Is Garbage
ExWNYer replied to HereComesTheReignAgain's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I've listened to Bills games on my Chromebook via radio.com. You can listen to the feed via a laptop and I believe an iPad/tablet, just not on a cellphone. And, yes, that is due to some sort of licensing issue. -
This is my feeling 100%. If it's not one of those three WRs, I'd prefer that they wait until the 2nd or even 3rd. Barring a blockbuster trade up, there is next to no chance that they'll get a shot at either Jeudy or Lamb. Ruggs is the most realistic of the three, IMO, and that might even take a slight move up as the Eagles sit just ahead of the Bills at 21. If they can get one of the few top Edge prospects in Round 1, that would be my preference. Free agency will flesh out a lot of the scenarios but it is shaping up to be a very intriguing off season.

2020 Mock Drafts & Top Prospects (2nd Annual Way Too Early)
ExWNYer replied to thunderingsquid's topic in College Football
In fairness, any position can have good players turn out to be bad picks. It's not isolated to just CBs/DBs. Honestly, given this current regime's track record, I feel more confident in them identifying a "good one" at CB than I do in them getting it right with a WR. Let's hope this is the year that they show they can properly evaluate a franchise type WR, as well, because this offense certainly needs one. At this point, I'd rather see them go Edge at 22 and then either grab their WR in Round 2 or trade back into the bottom of the 1st to get one. One thing is certain, they will have no shortage of options when they execute their first pick. -

Notice I had Edge listed first but you conveniently ignored that and bolded CB, Bill. It's a simple matter of numbers and, outside of Lamb, Jeudy, & Ruggs, the value is not there at WR in Round 1, IMO, when you can get a quality starting receiver into at least Round 3. If Ruggs hadn't been there, I would have been looking to take AJ Epenesa. He's an Edge defender and I would go Edge over CB but...if one of the few stud CBs was still there...it would certainly be a viable option if better than what was left on the board at Edge. The scarcity at Edge and CB dictates at least exploring those avenues. Tre White is about to get paid a king's ransom and nobody will be throwing his way. You need an inexpensive, high talent at the second spot to survive in today's NFL. That's not even debatable. Times have changed. You have been on an anti-CB crusade for years and it's now just antiquated, "you kids get of my lawn" thinking. As it is, I got a very good CB in Round 2. And we'll see about Jennings. I was shocked to see him there but he's certainly not without his warts. Your crimson colored glasses are clouding your judgement. I took a Crimson Tide WR and you still complained that I even entertained another position. ? If you weren't a fellow diehard 'Bama fan, I might have an issue with you. ? ROLL TIDE! GO BILLS!! -
Yessir. I find it interesting (don't know why but I do) that she has claws on her left hand but none on her right.

Bingo! I was piggybacking off of your Greg Cater submission. Rare love/recognition for the punters. -

Anytime. But I'm just an armchair GM, just like the rest of us. -

We shouldn't be making fun of this woman. She obviously has a lot of baggage. Now, carry on... -
2020 Mock Drafts & Top Prospects (2nd Annual Way Too Early)
ExWNYer replied to thunderingsquid's topic in College Football
His time really shouldn't affect anyone's evaluation, IMO. He was expected to run a '4.2 something', they just weren't sure where in the 4.2s he would land. That said, it only takes one GM to fall in love with the time and not what he has already put on tape, causing them to jump earlier than needed. I would not be shocked to see him go before 22 and I would not be shocked to see him still on the board at 22 although, admittedly, I would be pleasantly surprised. I think if he's still around at 21 then the Eagles would grab him. I was fully expecting to go Edge or CB with that pick and grab a WR in the 2nd Round but when Ruggs was sitting there, I had to pull the trigger. -

Second time 'no' on John Skorupan. Haven't figured out #62 yet. #42 is Rod Kush. -
