I didn’t take this thread that seriously given the available cap, and cap next year, but there is an article in the SU paper this morning about a possible trade for Dalvin Tomlinson (Giants), or Tim Settle (Washington). Tomlinson is a little over $1.1 mil, and the made the comment Settle is even cheaper, about $800k, and is the 5th best rated DT against the run. He’s under contract through 2021 as well, so this is one that does make sense. We can afford this contract, need help against the run badly, and kind of fills the Star role. If he works out really well, I’m not sure of any cap savings cutting Star. I’m not advocating that as I like Star, but it’s a consideration if Settle immediately made our run defense significantly better. Allows the other guys who are more of a 3 technique player to do their job. Read the article guys as it’s on the main board and tell me you’re thoughts. I just like plugging a hole with a very manageable contract that doesn’t rob from next year that much. Why they stated he could be available is the Red....., are so deep on their line, and they are now at 1-5 in their record. Then, the reporter made the comment that Rivera and McD have a strong relationship and would be most likely willing to work with each other on a reasonable trade. He was convincing to me, and he stated could make more sense than Tomlinson especially as we’d have a young DT for two years, not one with Settle. I liked it as it was smart and affordable. It’s better than silly comments about players that would never be traded and is not incredibly expensive that we can’t afford.

Hap, I liked you’re idea on the Broncos CB. He would be a minimum contract, and right now we could use it. We really can’t afford anyone with a high contract, but we wouldn’t have to use a draft pick next year to get him. Good call bud.

Or Chand man, the Jests don’t get a first down until midway through the 4th quarter like last week in Miami. These guys have phoned it in for the season. It’s dead man walking for Gase at this point and everyone in that locker room knows it.

The Ravens are definitely desperate as my spec is they have lost twice in the first round of the playoffs, and do not think they can keep up with the Chiefs. He’s demanding a new contract next year so they either dump him as he’ll want serious $, or in a Covid cap year they will have to purge a number of contracts and gave up resources now to trade for him this year. It was not worth it IMO.

FWIW, Feliciano could have been activated by last night by 5pm, per Sal C. They must have made the decision to hold off until next week, but since he’s been practicing for a couple of weeks, he probably will get activated this week. We can only hope that opens up running lanes for the RB’s.

No and Agreed! There’s nothing cheap enough or worth it on defense or TE, and we only have $3.5 mil. left, and next year we are $2.5 mil. over if the cap drops to $175 mil. Beane does not want to give up draft picks as cheap labor in a Covid cap year.

“What am I? Ubb, ubb, blah! I’m a zit, get it.” Mr. Blutarski, 0.00. (Darnold). Mr. Daniel Day Lewis, you have no grade point average. All incomplete (Gase).

“Germans, Pearl Harbor. Don’t stop him he’s rolling.” Great movie when I was in a Fraternity in college. It was a must. One of my buddies when we had a toga party would put mustard on his toga like Bluto. He actually looked a little like him and had the same frame.

It’s going to be the Diggs, Beasley, Davis show with either Singletary or Moss or Yeldon, and maybe Kroft. I seriously doubt has hardly any snaps today.

Screw that. Josh Allen to Diggs 20 yards down the field for an 80 yard run. TOUCHDOWN!!!!!!!!! 14:32 minutes left on the 1st Quarter.

You’re a class act Hap. Congrats Tyler and family. That’s wonderful.

From Happy Days?

Well played Ktulu my friend, well played. I don’t drink beer often, but when I do, I drink Dos Equis’s. Brady is playing well. Several posters hate Brady so much, they have vitriol and understandably for him. He just beat Rodgers and the undefeated Packers 38-10 last week and they outside of maybe the Hawks were the hottest team in the NFC. With AB, who I can’t stand as a person, He and BA who coached him in Pitt early in AB’s career may think this is the final spot to win the SB. Brady doesn’t look like he’s trying to make $, but wants to prove he can win the championship without BB. If we get our crap worked out, would love to see us face the Bucs in the SB, and beat them. They just look farther ahead than us.

We should be looking for players who are on teams on sale like NO, Philly, Giants, MN, and Jests etc. Either way over the cap, or they are going nowhere. I understand Q. Williams, even Ertz although hurt, or one of the MN guys, but NO’s guys are old. Guys like McCafrey, and Cox are either too expensive or would never be dealt ever. Thats like previous years we had posters saying trade for Rodgers. Like that would happen.

Thanks for being the voice of reason Hap. There is a pervasive element on this board looking for any reason to bring doubt, trash, or just tweak people For being real Bills fans. It is what it is and I don’t care as we’ll win tomorrow with the practice squad and many will be very unhappy. Can’t wait to celebrate with you tomorrow at 4:30 pm, as you said when we win by 1, 7, 10, or 30. Bottom line, a win. 5-2, and the ridiculous fools of the Jests will be 0-7. I just remember how bad it sucked when the Steelers backups beat us to keep us out of the playoffs with Mularkey the helm. Granted, our O Line was down to grabbing guys off the streets, but it still stunk as we finished 9-7 and with that one more win would have made the WC. We weren’t good enough, and the Jests will feel that point again tomorrow. I know it’s a fans opinion as coaches and players don’t think this way, but my confidence is such that if we sat White, Brown, Milano, and Edmunds, we will still beat these clowns. We need them for the Cheats and Hawks. I hope they air on the side of caution. Even if they dressed who can push through it and play, but sit with our backups playing unless we absolutely needed them, I’m cool. I’d rather have these guys for a real opponent and win by 1, then push the issue and win by 14, but maybe some miss next week. Prioritize. I know it’s a fan’s opinion so before you knock me, I already know it.

I just saw on NFLN they did come to a one year agreement, but still suspended and in COVID 19 protocol until week 9. Rappaport stated Brady’s nudging helped push it through. I don’t know again how relevant this deal is for the team as they already have Godwin, Evans, Brate and Gronk. That’s a lot of targets so we’ll see. Personally, I wish the guy would just go away, but whatever. At least he’s not on the Bills.

No! He’ll be learning for awhile. Maybe next year to the year after, maybe. Alabama QB’s historically Have not fared well in the NFL, but he may be different. The key is will he stay healthy? I don’t know as he didn’t just have one bad injury, but several in college. Brees, Mayfield, etc. have demonstrated a 6ft. QB can do it, but will he get rid of the ball fast enough not take the shots Burrow is taking in Cincy. At least Miami has a great deal more talent than Cincy.

Bills - 35 Jets - 9

Not sure why Tampa wants him given Godwin and Evans unless they are hurt worse than we know. I know the Bucs lost Howard, but they still have Gronk, and Brate. It. Didn’t seem worth the trouble, but they are not going to tell us everything. Maybe he has lost his crazy, or maybe they are placating Brady, but BA doesn’t have a habit of something like that on his teams.

52-3 Bills. Have fun with 0-16 Jests.

Several million $ for a part time gig, vs. working 18 hours a day and not guaranteed of success. Just sayin. I was almost surprised Gruden went back to coaching as he was making I think $5 mil, for a part time gig. I know he made the $100 mil. for 10 years, but that is a lot of work for that $. He must have really missed the excitement, and given it didn’t end well in Tampa, I guess I understand. Besides his kids went off to college So maybe that was a motivator. I just don’t see Romo or Manning or anyone else like that Going into coaching. Usually it’s the Alex Van Pelts of the world who go into coaching.

This is a non issue. We will beat the Jests by 30. They are terrible in every aspect of the game. I almost feel bad for my friends who are Jests fans. A nice tune up for the Cheats.

For the Fletcher Cox comments, he has a $16 mil. cap hit in 2021, and $17 mil. in 2022.

Ertz is 29. He does turn 30 next month, but then Kelce is 31 and just received a large contract extension.

He’s temporarily injured, but Zack Ertz. Philly will be $70 mil. over next year, and they have the younger version in Croom and Butler.
