He won't even pay for his hourly arena workers during the enforced time off. Why would he pay for Kelly's date?

I imagine Knox is seen as the future and the player who should have the awesome year. Kroft, if healthy, should be a strong contributor, but Knox is the guy.

True. He's good in coverage too, especially for his size. That's why I say he should always be on the field. That dude could go down as one of the best ever if he hits his cieling.

A third LB who can run would allow Edmunds to be more utilized in blitz schemes. I don't think Edmunds should ever leave the field outside the occasional rest.

Star can come off the books next off-season. One season of overlap won't kill the cap.

We don't know how they see him do we? Maybe the Bills ran nickel so much because they didn't have a third LB who could athletically compete, consistently, on passing downs. If Kirksey is seen as being able to, perhaps the Bills run more 3 LB sets. We shall see.

We need to get past using PFF as the arbiter of what player is what. Their judgment is not necessarily the judgment used by NFL scouts/management.

I don't disagree, but give the players some credit. They still have to play well in the system and maximize opportunities for success on the field. That's not guaranteed to happen scheme or no scheme.

Cam Lewis is already in the building.

You're worried about their age? Worry about if they can play or not. Plenty young players weren't near as impactful last season as Smoke and Beas, including young WR's in other teams.

A lot of players in D.C. had attitude problems. Wonder why?

Sometimes these designers just do too much.

Bills sign Brian Bulaga and trade for Diggs (2nd in 2020, a 4th in 2021.

We don't know what he'll be. He could wind up the best of all the WRs drafted. I like the top 3 guys, and I think Shenault would be dynamite, but I'd be cool with Higgins. He's a proven, good prospect. And I don't care about the combine stuff.

Vegas ain't my thing, but I can fly in from L.A. day of game and fly out after for cheap if I get the tix in April. Round trip plane tix will probably be a lot cheaper than the game ticket. LoL

It's not right or wrong, it's just an option that is available to achieve the player's desired ends.

Might be better off trading up for one of the top 3 draftees. OBJ wouldn't come any cheaper. Not true. He wanted more money and he wasn't wrong for believing he should get more. He was a stud.

The analogy doesn't fit. Two different industries with different norms. Chase Young also didn't do on-field drills. He's still going top 5: 1. Because his tape dictates that and 2. He will compete at the pro day and possibly in private workouts with teams drafting in the top 5. To me, you and others are making a big deal out of Higgins because the Bills need a WR and Higgins is a possibility, and you all wanted to see him perform now, now, now. I get it. But 1. He will perform at pro day and private workouts, 2. Watch his game tape (that's what will carry more weight, and 3. What teams gather from interviews, medical checks are more important than the combine drills. And Higgins did those things.

What's the draft status have to do with it? If it's me first for one it's me first for the other. Tee Higgins could go in the late first or in the 2nd round so says his tape. The amount of knots folks tie themselves up in to make a mountain out of a mole hill is funny. You would think the guy snatched an old lady's purse.

Beane won't chase a WR in round 1 if the value isn't there. If anything, he could piss off everyone and not take one until Rd. 3 or 4.

He did the interviews, medical checks, etc. he just didn't do workouts YET. Same as Joe Burrow. They will and whatever their tape says is what will determine their ultimate draft status.

Much ado about nothing. I prefer other WR's at 22, but not working out at the combine has been done by many players, for many reasons over the years. He will run and drill at his pro day.

What's good or bad for Buffalo is contingent upon what Buffalo does or does not do. I hope that is the mindset at One Bills Drive.

Carmine's. The Upper Westside location is my fav, but Times Square is good too; just super crowded. Get reservations before you go.

Take the bitter with the sweet do you? LoL
