I said Cleveland. Why? He would play opposite Myles Garrett, they have $, they have talent, they won a playoff game, and could make their defense punishing even if he doesn’t get 16 sacks. GB, PITT, and some others are pipe dreams. They don’t have the $. Buffalo is a good choice for him, but we are tight on the cap and we need to extend people. You can only restructure, reduce, or remove so many. Id say no on Tampa, because if you were them, they already have Suh and JPP getting older on that line, so why wouldn’t they invest in extending Barrett who is much younger and a destructive force. Light is not dumb. They also have a bunch of others as URFA’s. If they cut anyone or not extend, it’s going to be the guys over 30.

Always knew you were a closet backstreet boy. Next thing i know you’ll be taking sexy back. Seriously, a lot of conjecture as to him being gay, and who freakin cares? He didn’t play up to his draft status, and now he’s an idiot for making a social media statement. I wouldn’t take him if he’s available not because of above issues, just dumb to make this statement publicly. You’re just waiting for the next dumb statement. Remember when Chad Johnson went to the Pats, and he tried to even make a positive statement on the Pats. He was gone pretty soon afterwards. Like him or hate him, BB doesn’t want his players in social media. He can’t stop them, but he doesn’t have to play them. I learned a long time ago, working on the business side of medicine, never write anything at all you can’t defend in court. I used to tell my reps, if you’re upset as some doctors can be a pain at times, don’t text me, don’t email me, call me and we can talk about it. Sometimes people want to vent and I’m fine with it. Then they calm down, and you let cooler heads prevail. This generation has forgotten what our parents banged into our heads when we were young. Once you write it, it’s permanent.

Well if the past predicts the future, he very well may trade up, but not necessarily do it in the first. It could be going from a low 2nd to a high 2nd. I don’t have it, but someone posts every year the trade value Jimmy Johnson or others assess to value of a pick. I don’t care to see it now, but after free agency calms down, on can make an intelligent argument for going from one spot to another.

I’m certainly not an NFL Player, professional athlete, politician, or celebrity, but social media is not you’re friend. It’s too easy to say something from an emotional stand point, and you can’t take it back. It’s merely impossible today to not text, and email, but the rest always gets these guys in trouble.

Agreed which is why I placed other. It actually depends on the week who gets hammered the most whether it’s Singletary, Knox, or Murphy. For awhile it’s Klein.

Respectfully, that’s not how it works. The cap is based on shared revenue, so if that goes up, the cap goes up. There is a 10 year labor agreement, so at that point they have much more influence on what happens from the next contract. What will influence sooner the cap is in 2022 if the tv contracts explode as several outlets are speculating. My guess is these capologists are projecting they need to get through 2021, and then they can expect to manage these contracts. Stinks for us this year whether the cap ends up at $180.5, $185, $190, and so on. It would’ve been nice to make a run at a guy like Shaq Barrett, but that’s unlikely. Beane and crew should be able to figure a way to extend their priorities. Their may be more pay cuts by some players, but that’s still a minority. As much as I love for example Milano, someone with serious space, will probably grab him, and we will lose on that one. Someone shared a podcast that did a nice job articulating the cap, influences, restructure, pay cut, or cut and the implications.

Kenny and family, 🙏 As Hap mentioned prayers for no complications. When I worked in coronary, it is absolutely amazing how many advancements have been in this space. Happy thoughts for the guy who has been a symbol of Bills Mafia. OP, thank you sincerely for sharing. If you know the family, please let them know we are praying for him.

I don’t want to go down the Covid path other than I trust we’ll figure it out as well as the nfl. Cant wait to see a somewhat full stadium in orchard park in the fall.

I think we can add Einstein to the Plato, Socrates, Aristotle to the list. In the indomitable words of bugs bunny, “what a maroon”, but that’s what you were going for to tick people off. Be more creative. Lastly, HE’s 21! What’s you’re excuse for saying something so m....c?

Always the s... stir. That was a funny thread last year. When not injured all at the same time in the Championship game. That was fun. We might even see a surprise from Hodgins given a good camp last year before the injury. If we cut Brown, and I’m not suggesting g we should do that as he was banged up this year, but might be a necessity, we need speed.

Well, pope is a reflection of either performance or crap opposing talent, or injuries. It makes a great deal of sense the lower drafted persons get incentives to play better.

Well he played Guard in HS, was rated one of the best going into college, and in college was an excellent Guard. The mistake was ever placing him at tackle, but they had a need in 19. The footing and blocking skills is so much different from a Tackle than a Guard. Some guys can do it, but usually they had varied experiences younger, or placed in a pinch due to an injury from the starter. John, you might be right. They will give him at least a year to see what they have in 2021. If he’s horrible halfway through (I doubt at LG), he might get benched to second string, but I doubt he’s traded. He’s cheap labor. It’s likely he helps in our run game. If Morse is used as a pulling center which is a strength for him, then that leave a nice cut back seam for Moss, Singletary, or whoever they draft. That would help when we need it. We are now a passing team (which is weird saying given m decades long watching this team), but having a solid run game when it is needed is a nice addition. Tampa was not a top running team, but they were effective when they needed it. Nice take John.

Thanks Hap, nice find.

I don’t see how they could find the space, but if Beane had a plan to target one edge rusher, it would be Shaq Barrett for me. I don’t see any scenario where that happens, but Tampa will most likely prioritize him the most for an extension from all of their URFA’s. We’re going to need to have one heck of a draft.

Bill, just like you to have such a classy response to a lot of hard work in GB’s mock. I couldn’t agree more. I’m not crazy about you’re Bills picks unless you’re assumption is they let Daryl Williams walk. I understand if that’s the case. I thought you’re Miami picks were spot onto what they will do. Again GB, that’s a heck of a lot of work, so not bad for a Brit. 🤪. Just kidding bud, my heritage is Irish and English.

Streaming won’t take over network tv football. Not everyone in the country does streaming. Everyone watches in some part tv, even if only a little. I can see the contracts going up significantly and has been reported in multiple outlets. NFLR and TV have been speculating on this for months. Andrew Brandt, The Business of Sports, past executive for the Packers and agent has been discussing these negotiations for awhile. You’d have to sift through his podcasts to find the excerpts, but he is incredibly interesting and knowledgeable on these matters as well as anything else pertaining to contract negotiations of players, cap stuff, etc. Its probably one of the reasons why some of the owners have made it public to push the cap close to last year. They are also using the threat of a lower cap to squeeze lower contracts for guys coming up, so they are playing both sides. Anyway, it’s all speculation by all of us, so it’s wait and watch.

Agreed as it seems more on the other boards, but I’m not a mod. I’ll defer to them.

I would love Tyrod, Fitzy, or Dalton, but all cost more than $2 mil. Allen doesn’t need a mentor other than his QB coach and Palmer. I can see it being Webb and Fromm, and by September, they may not need a Covid quarantined backup. It’s too early to tell, and as always just speaking to the football thing, not societal issues. If for some reason the cap continues to rise with new tv contracts, then if Fitzy wants to wrap it up for $4-5 mil. as he’s 38, and would be his last year or two, I’m all for it. I’m not sentimental as much as I like him, but Fitz proved with Miami, he still can win tough games with the right tools around him.

It was speculated today Ertz is a likely cap cut from Kirwan on NFLR, MTC. I don’t know. Might be worth a look. I understand his lack of production in 2020, but he was injured most of the year. Prior years he was rated the third best TE behind, Kittle, and Kelce. The team docs have to determine whether he is worth it. It’s not any different than our J. Brown who was a 1000 WR in 19, but had persistent ankle knee injuries in 20. Is Brown now crap or was he just banged up. IDK on either guy. If Ertz was healthy and can reproduce his previous success, he could be worth it on a Covid cap year on a friendly deal.

It’s going to keep coming, but don’t get excited as we don’t have the $ for these tickets, or they are too old. A nice compliment to you guys is noticing on WGR how many of my guys here who put up great material becomes talking points after on WGR on the various shows. Recently I’ve noticed how many draft prospects, or talking points, free agent prospects leads here, and then comes up on WGR within a day or two. Hats off to some of you guys as I rarely see the opposite where they have a talking point, and then comes up here. Not me. All you guys so tip of the cap. That is not a negative on them. I just think they get free research from many of you.

I’ll consider vaccination something we can talk about over the summer. I know it relates to football, but can wait. The real pertinent point is the tv contracts. There are speculations from several sources the new contracts could happen soon. I was accepting the $175, now $180 mil. floor. If one of the large networks comes through we could see a lateral cap. It’s dumbfounding how much they may need to pay for these contracts. It’s estimated a 70% or more possible increase. We’ll see. I'm happy if happens, but until it’s a yes, it’s we’ll see.

Fun conversation. For everyone. Let’s just have fun. No mod., just love the Bills conversations. Regarding Wade, he’s interesting, and if he can do something that has nothing to do with his European background, awesome. I think it’s unlikely he makes it as he probably would’ve had a deal. They kept him at this point so he has promise. there’s a lot of let’s root for this guy like jasper, wang (no kidding on this one😆), wade, Duke, but if they can pull it off great. bottom line, go bills!

It’s the last chance saloon for Wentz with the Colts.

Primadona. Im not sure if the relevance as lots of guys are great at DS football and coaching who didn’t play. See Andy Reid, and BB. I played youth and HS, and coached my kids and others for flag which was a great coaching experience with youngins considering this was an ultra competitive league (I thought too much as they recruited and scouted but it’s florida. They are nuts down here). My kids went into tackle and coached that fir a few years. They were great but loved lax more. Then I had pressure off me as I was just dad. they were awesome and I could just sit back. As a dad, playing is one thing but coaching you to help the, be their best. As a dad, you just sit back and just let them have fun. I don’t know if it helps you with analysis. I have spoken to so many guys (unisex phrase as women can do just as well) who’ve never played, but are guys I value. GB is one of those as my guy from another pond loves the game and really never played. I know there are a ton of other examples. To me, I don’t care if you never played. You’re opinion is just as important unless you write something that shows you don’t know the game. I don’t think you have to play it to know it. I could be wrong. Bottom line is I value any solid opinions whether you played or not. As my brother you used to say, don’t be a dumb ars. Brothers.

Thanks Lime. Interesting read.
