Yea, that's Cristian Kirk money.

Whaley did a great job. Without him, we wouldn't have a GM the quality of Beane. I'd be asking him how he managed it too. We should start a pool on how long that lasts if he becomes GM.

It's not 'taking a step back' when no one wants him as a starting QB. Comparing Darnold to Trubisky is laughable. Darnold has routinely been the worst starting QB in the NFL. Darnold will be lucky if he floats around the league as a backup. There is no starting job in his future.

Well, Star is gone so we gotta do something I guess..

Yea.. and he's reflecting on that

J F C Make it stop.

You haven't met some of our forum dwellers.. or a game thread where we're not up by 50 See the post right above this..

I'm with @Buffalo Timmy. We ended them with the 1st perfect game in the NFL. Let them suck. Let the Fins, Pats and Jets all go 0-17.

For a team that talks about depth all the time we are getting perilously thin at whipping boy.

Yes, thank goodness we have Edmunds to replace Star in that position. Solid depth.

I'm getting the feeling that Houston is gonna end up being unable to trade Watson...again.

We'd be over the cap and not have 22 players signed to actually play. The 2nd, it's not even his choice. Buffalo gets to choose if they match it which is why all this panic is utterly stupid.

Clearly, there's confusion. No such offer has been made. This argument of yours is.. I don't even know. You're suggesting to pay him more money so you don't 'risk' having to 'overpay' him. This is the same logic that companies use to sell extended warranties to dumb people.

No one is arguing that he should be a starter. The argument is 100% chance of using 1.5 million cap space vs the calculated risk of him being signed for an amount the Bills won't match. Minnesota currently has less cap space than the Bills do.. go lookup the rates that RFA get signed to other teams. You're having a meltdown over a conversation about a possibility from a team that would have to free up cap space to make the offer to do something that's pretty rare.

When he shows he deserves it.. Competition. Competition. Competition.

How many players restricted free agent receive, accept and then leave each year? TBD should partner up with some online therapy. Embed it into each thread with "I'M HAVING AN EMOTIONAL PANIC BASED ON THINGS THAT HAVEN'T HAPPENED AND ARE UNLIKELY TO HAPPEN" then take 10% and fund this place for the next 10,000 years in a week.

What the heck do you two not understand that the Bills might agree with you, but they had NO REASON to give it to him unless they have to?

I'd just say, "Well, we offered him 30 million a year out of your 50, but he wanted 31." If that was so important to Rodgers, he could have made it happen. I think we all know Aaron's complaints about other things were really about money.

Ya'll seem very confused. He doesn't just leave if Minnesota makes him an offer. The Bills can choose to match whatever they offer. You're literally saying they should have tied up 1.5 million of cap space on the slim possibility that cap strapped Minnesota makes him an offer the Bills are unwilling to match. You both just indicated he "unlikely" to be replaced by a 2nd round pick... so again, why definitely tie up 1.5 million in cap space on the low risk someone makes him an offer you're unwilling to match?

It would have been silly to do it. Whatever Minny offers, he doesn't just leave so why would you lock yourself into giving him more money when it's not likely he'll leave? Would you accept a 2nd round pick for him straight up right now?

Competition. Competition. Competition.

There is going to be quite the competition this offseason.

The only way he retires is if you have a wink wink deal to say, hire him on as fan ambassador or something for more money then he's due... of course, that's against the rules and is likely a hefty fine and a 1st round pick. So why do you want the Bills to lose a 1st round draft pick?

Vikings don't have any cap space either.

Denver, where Von Miller played 7 games and had 4.5 of his sacks, did not employ Aaron Donald. Von Miller played 8 for the Rams and got 5. So.. I'm looking forward to an expert like you breaking down Donald's ability to get Von Miller sacks on an entirely different team. This should be good.
