The Jokeman

Mike White likely gets the job, I wonder if when we cut Mitch for cap space.

He's a good player but at 31 yeah idk seems a tad risky.

We need a NT aka a guy that can take on two offensive lineman at once and let guys like Oliver and Bernard to be clean to tackle ball carriers or rush the QB. Think Ted Washington, Pat Williams, Fred Smerlas, Booger McFarland, Tim Bowens, Tony Siragusa....

Thankfully he didn't start sooner or we would have never bottomed out to be in a position to get Bruce Smith and some of the other talent we acquired. In retrospect Kelly playing in the USFL helped us getter the talent he took advantage of when he got here. Toss in trading Greg Bell for Bennet forced us to take a chance on a RB named Thurman Thomas the draft the following year etc.

Levitre was a pretty solid guard when he was here, in fact he an all rookie but think that season Wood played Guard. Toss in Wood also played with Ritchie Incognito who was a pretty good player (note I said player not person). I'd put Wood in same class as Morse but maybe give more to the latter as seemed to have a bit more leadership to him.

Trey McBride disagrees with this argument.

With what picks? Two low end 2nds likely get us marginal rookie production and adding Metcalf takes away a significant amount of cap room to preventing us signing other guys. I understand the appeal but until we fix the defense this team is likely not going to go any further in the playoffs.

As a cut he wouldn't count in the free agent lost/add formula. He is a health risk for sure but he's be on a list of maybe guys.

Fair assessment.

Maybe him being the 6th best CB in coverage or being 5th best CB overall? https://www.pff.com/nfl/players/christian-benford/79181#gradesWidget

Another hole for them to fill. The Bills fan in me likes it.

The question I have is if we prevented the miracle would those feeling we should have started Flutie feel the same way? Or who would we start the next game?

Well it was a nice thought.

Kirk lined up in the slot 76.8% of the time in slot last year. By contrast thought Lockett was more a slot guy cuz of his past but only 27.1% of the time last year.

It depends on the position tbh. I can see doing it on RBs or LBs as traditionally these positions not vital to sign to second contracts. Or if looking to fill short term depth and okay going for an older guy. Yet if looking for impact and/long term solution ideally want someone 22 or younger.

These last two are a slot guys. Yes more WR options for other teams to pursue. To me Cooper or Slayton are guys we should pursue but address Dline and CB first. PS bring back Mack too.

He was a 2nd rounder sometimes gotta plug and play or in his case plug and pray at LG. Sure they could pursue a low cost vet to compete but ideally not what you want. Smith was franchised. He's getting top 10 Oline money unless can get a long term deal worked out to spread the money out.

Bolton could command big money and not sure they could match it. Top of the line LT don't come available in UFA or trade unless their coming off injury or having contract issues. KC is giving big money to Jawaan and now Smith on the line to invest more money no easy task. I can't see them having cap space for a top end LT. Could they trade up in the draft? Sure but big leap from 31 to top 15.

They might move their 2nd Rounder last year who busted at LT last season to LG. So expect the Chiefs to draft a LT prospect again this season. I doubt it they were over the cap prior to the trade, it likely helps offset franchising Smith.

Guess what in his second year, we slid to 15th in scoring. In his last 5 starts of 1999 Flutie and the offense were averaging 17 points a game (inflated because of 31 points outing) You know kills drives too? Turnovers had 22 of them in 15 games. 1999 Flutie was not even close to the production we got in 1998 and why he got benched.

Na he'll follow Rodgers to...Pittsburgh?....Cleveland?....Las Vegas?...the Giants? but people complain about what we gave up for Cooper....

and again RJ left the field with a lead just like Josh Allen did in the 13 seconds game... or maybe it looked like RJ sparked the offense with the win they had against the Colts, as Flutie lost to them in the season opener 13-31 and RJ beat them 31-6 in the season finale...

Just like he lead us to victory the previous season against Miami in the playoffs? Oh wait he got sacked by Trace Armstrong and fumbled with the game on the line then...

Flutie was a turnover machine and offense with him in 1999 was averaging like 16 points a game with him at QB down the stretch. No guarantees he'd do better.

Maxx Crosby as younger than Garrett and likely cost less draft capital.
