Bosa is an amazing talent. To the TJ Watt thing, if I’m the player, I would accept the 5th year option in 2021, because the cap will be in much better shape in 2022 so you can negotiate for a much better contract when the cap comes back. The risk is a significant injury, but some players gamble with it for the larger and longer contract. I feel for guys like Milano and Dawson as they are not 1st round picks so either they are tagged, or their agents have to negotiate under a $175 mil. Cap, vs. $210 mil. We’ll see what happens.

Thurmon, I’ll correct myself as I mistakenly did not realize the $150,000 or $350,000 is a stipend, not a payment, amd comes off of whatever contract they signed in the future years. That I have no problem as they are not getting something for nothing, but delaying the rest of their contract into 2021 and 2022. People have their reasons to not play for a variety of reasons including medical reasons for themselves and loved ones. Just speculating that the majority of people opting out probably have never so as they knew for several days this was coming. We still May see more, but I’m guessing it will be proportionally less than the amount that made this decision on the first day.

Now that I can comment. Lizabeth, Lizabeth, I’m comin. That was a funny show. LB, thanks for levity. Da Dana Dana it, Da, Dana, Danit DaNa It, Da, Danit, Dante, Da. keep em comin, as this has turned into a fascist, Marxist, communist regime. Wasn’t that a line from Lethal Weapon 2 in the South African consulate. Cmon guys. As Uncle Hulka said, lighten up Francis.

Guys, enjoy the bickering. I’m not going there. Said what I said and done. God bless, and none of you are changing other people’s minds. You’re just bickering. God bless our Bills, and enjoy either, every side. I don’t here for that. I have made my opinions over a long time, notice I’m not giving it, and think what you think is best for you. Not up to me. One statement is at least we live in a place where all of you can say what you think. Whatever that is and god bless you whether I agree or not. You still have a right to you’re take. I stand by the earlier comment this is going nowhere other than just an argument, but you’re guys call.

Hapless, and Chandler, time to shut down this garbage. All Lives Matter, but can’t stand naive, silly comments that in essence are prejudiced. Guys, you do realize there are people of color, all color, all faiths, all creeds on this board right? I could care less if they put signs up BLM. They do, and so do all Lives. It’s pretty simple.

If we want these guys, we’ll need to pony up $13-14 mil. Dawkins and Milano, and probably $17 mil. For Tre the next year. Then we have Allen the year after that for $30+ mil. To not space it out and take hits based on COVID, and when they have a big influx of + cash, they’ll need to figure out a way. We enjoyed Milano and Dawkins after this year on the cheap for 4 years. A mistake to let them go. It’s not like J. Phillips, and Shaq who outperformed previous years. These two have been good for awhile. Continuity will help. The plug and play model is not good when you have real proven talent. I’m cool with J. Phillips, and Shaq as they has a magical great year when they were biding for a contract. No way we can let Tre and hopefully Allen go, so we need to take advantage now. The last thing I want is a couple of years of being kind of good and then backwards as we think, we’ll we’ll plug in another Milano or Dawson. That’s a mistake.

H E Double Hockey Sticks? That was right out of Happy Days, and loved it. I agree on the BB never would tank a season. It’s a conspiracy theory thing.

Mat, respectfully, Addison is not a back up. In the last five years, he’s had 46 sacks compared to Clooney’s 27.5. It’s a little harder to evaluate run stuffing, but Clowney is a luxury. We have around $22 mil. After Star opted out which means his salary gets counted against the cap in the next two years. It’s almost certain the cap will go to the floor at $175,000,000 so with a normal $10 mil. Increase, that’s a swing of -$35 mil. I’m not applied math PhD, but with our current surplus we have to shave at least -$13 mil. Add to it the point we need to extend either or both Dawkins and Milano, hopefully both. The following year we have T. White as we already put the 5th year option, and the year after that Allen. I know we’ll lose probably Murphy, Hughes, Kroft, etc. so too complicated to speculate everything, but we have to make the most of our draft picks. All of these decisions make my head hurt to think, but one thing we don’t need is Clowney. We have Addison, Butler, Jefferson, Epenesa, H. Phillips, Murphy and Hughes. That’s enough. I called into NFLR yesterday and discussed how we have 88% of snaps returning and 23 starters before Star, so still tied for first in the NFL. Juxtapose the Pats had 67%, and now with all of those players opting out, they will have the least amt. of snaps from starters returning in the league. Also, all of those contracts are just pushed into the next Two year for the Pats, so they have to use what they gained this year on replacement players, and Hightower and Chung are no joke. With the pushing back of contracts into 2021 and 2022, they either doing a lot of creative contracts, or they are thin on the cap for three years. TB, Addison hasn’t dropped off at all. He had 9.5 sacks last year, and the year before. Yes, he’s probably a two year solution, but for now it gives us time to draft more DE’s over two years.

Well the newbee said he was just being sarcastic, so tome I guess this was just a joke to tweak some people. The worst thing to do is get worked up by whatever other fans state as all 32 teams have the same disadvantages. All players can choose to opt out, are at similar risks for COVID testing, and injuries are part of the game. Just because they couldn’t work it out with Brady is on them (the team and Brady). There’s no asterick for me. We win great, we don’t win the East, well then we didn’t deserve it. I could care less what people say about the poor Patriots.

Victory, no, but they can use that machine from Mission Impossible that fakes a mold of the face, and then pour bronze over it. ?

Which is why Limeaid, these guys are probably feeling over a barrel they have to play if they make the team. 21 by last count opted out so we’ll see how it shakes out in a few days. I know I would take every precaution possible, but there are no comorbid medical conditions in my or my family’s history so I would play. I would try and take advantage of every opportunity OT get on the field, prove to the teams I’m worth it, but would probably go even farther than the restrictions to not get sick. Those are my thoughts, but then again I’m not a 21 year old trying to get on an NFL roster.

Dalmatian for me Augie. I loved Fred, my guy. Crazier than a $3 Bill, and had only two gears, 1st, and 5th, but he was my guy. Stinks as my phone crashed and don’t even have pics anymore.

See ya Foster. Sucks as I believed in him two years ago. This won’t be hard, and given we have to get to 53, a lot more names that none of us even know will be gone. On the bright for the UDFA’s, between more Opt Outs coming and COVID coming, the UDFA guys have a better chance to maybe stay on the team. Lots of comments on them with no OTA’s, pre-season games being more at risk, they may have at least the sharp ones a chance. He’ll, NE needs 6 players.

I like Sweeney. This could be a developmental year for him if he can make it back. He really needs to make it back. I have serious doubts Kroft will be here in 2021, and not a real Smith fan, so we need him to have some growing pains this year if we can get him back for awhile. I want to be wrong on Kroft, and hope he has an outstanding year so we can hold onto him. It’s not like I dislike the guy, just want our unit to be better. Maybe Croom will have a breakout year.

My throat hurts I just scanned and was laughing harder with each post. Keep em coming. That was funny Ferg’s.

I’m sorry to hear that as I like Sweeney. He and Knox should continue to grow. Hopefully he’ll be back at the latest by October, but haven’t heard anything as to a possible return projection.

Talk about the difference between a list where coaches and evaluators do it, vs. the Top 100 craziness where players vote, when they don’t even follow other games because, oh I don’t know, they’re playing. I’m not a big list guy like power rankings, but if done by experts who actually study the players and the game, you get a much more reasonable list. I’m fine with Allen at 22, as I can at least admit he had a 59% completion ratio and the offense was limited last year. Now, with everything we have now, and another year of development, I’m counting on Allen moving up to tier 2. I don’t know if he can ever make tier 1, but then we can win a lot with a tier 2 QB.

Well, they are up to 6 opting out. It’s opt out watch added to COVID watch.

On a lighter note, Happy Birthday Milano. 26 today.

It’s like Opt Out Watch now, hour by hour. I can understand Star, just guessing with his size, he may have cardiovascular or diabetes issues. Not my place to know with HIPA, but I was listening to WGR, and made sense when Brown made a comment. He said which I didn’t catch before the latest agreement states if they opt out, yes they get the $150,000 stipend, but their whole contract amortized this year will get moved to next year. If they play the season, and the season is cancelled short, the owners can only pay out the contract for how long the player worked. Hypothetically if I understood correctly, if a player makes $16 mil., but 5e season is cancelled in 8 games, that player would only get $8 mil., and the owners would not owe them for the rest of that year. If they opt out, the player’s $16 mil. Contract would be fully paid, but not until they come back. Again, one of you cap gurus correct me, but I just heard Brown go through these points an hour ago.

I know Saint. I expect him to be in corporate finance, which is usually a stiff group, but it’s his body, his life, and he is 21. As a Dad, I’m sure you can relate you just want you’re kids to make good decisions. I personally don’t care if anyone gets ink, EXCEPT my daughter. There would be a line on both sides of the family to scold the hell out of her, but she’s so innocent, the likelihood is about none.

A bit much in my eyes and I have one in an area only a wife can see (butt). My oldest son has a couple now, and I think he’s dumb as he has one in a lower area of his arm. I told him, ———, you do realize when you’re out of college you’ll be in the professional world. You may want to consider not placing in the lower leg or arm. Hardly anyone will see something on you’re back, shoulder, etc.

Glad Diggs and White are on there, but should’ve been higher for both. Allen surprised me being on there at all. Not a problem with it, but surprised he made it. I doubt anyone else makes it. I thought Edmunds might, but if he’s not there by now, probably not happening. As many have said, it’s a popularity contest, that’s it.

It’s hard to compare on vaccines from history. The modern FDA is very strict and vaccines as well as meds, devices, genomic testing goes through a rigorous process. There are three phases of clinical trials they must go through and everything that happens to subjects is reported even if it has nothing to do with the vaccine. During phase 3 trials the researchers are looking at efficacy and safety of human trials. Once completed, they have a month or so to package the information to submit to the FDA. The FDA reviewers usually take 9-12 months to review the PMA, and typically ask questions. The company then compiled further dats and then submits to the FDA for review. If all questions are answered, and the product is proven to work and safe, it is approved and available for commercial use. Then there is the ramp up of mass production. Lastly, all of this data is submitted to Medicare, Medicaid, all of the commercial insurances for them to review whether they approve for reimbursement like Aetna, Humana, Cigna, the various Blue Cross plans, and so on. Fast tracking still will take At least 8-12 months from submission. I know the process as I was in the clinical side of medicine, but then in management of medical device, biotechnology, and originally specialty pharmaceuticals. People in my industry know all too well the lengthy process. You just can’t speed up this process that much. The FDA is much more strict than European CMARC. The last point is ramping up production takes time, and if socialized medicine countries who buy in mass quantity lay more than the US, there could be delays in commercial availability here. It’s just the way it works. Like it or not, that’s how it works. I hope that helps some who are trying to wrap their arms around what needs to happen. My guess is the earliest we see a vaccine here is next late Spring, but more likely next Summer. Until then, the CDC guidelines is the best we can do with masks, social distancing etc.
