Maybe it's not going to drop like crazy. But it already has kind of stabilized. Here are a few examples: 2019- Adam Humphries 4 years at 36 mil 2022- Jacobi Meyers- 3 years 33 2023- Gabe Davis- 3 years 39 With the cap sky rocketing, that's pretty much a lateral move. And Gabe/Meyers were more productive than Humphries. Compare that to I believe Julio who got 3 years 66 which was the highest in the game in 2019. Whats Jefferson gonna make, 35 per year? Top guys have exploded. Mid guys have already started to stabilize

I understand that. But again, that goes for any position. WRs aren't the only position that bust in the draft lol. Every single position in every round have flops Lets put it this way: I much prefer what the bills did signing a vet in Samuel and drafting Coleman Opposed to paying Gabe all that money. Signing Samuel hedges your bet a bit

Ok but we also can say that about any position. The draft is a crap shoot as we know. There have also been tons of massive success stories in the mid rounds. Higgins, Deebo, Kupp, Aj Brown, Metcalf. The list goes on and on. Can always pick a receiver in the 1st round as well if a team really values WR2, I was more just giving an example with 2nd round. To me I'm taking the risk of drafting a young guy and maybe doubling down with a cheap vet opposed to paying Gabe 12 mil per year . That just doesn't move the needle for me

For sure and I agree with that. I'm def not putting WRs in the bucket of RBs as the top guys will continue to get insane contracts. I do think though at some point the middling guys will stabilize and it already kind of has. I'm just curious to see where the market will go in the next 5 years with those WRs that are 2nd or 3rd on the depth chart.

Maybe. I'm not saying you're wrong. But the middling market for receivers have already kind of stabilized. We will see where it goes the next few years or so

The top guys I 100 percent agree with you. For the middle guys it's 50/50 for me. Even right now- Would you rather someone like Gabe Davis at 12 mil (or whatever he's making) or draft a rookie in the 2nd round at a few million per year to hopefully be your number 2 WR for the next 4 years? I would choose option B, but those ^ are the decisions GMs will have to ask themselves going forward

Agreed. Waddles contract doesn't kick in for another 2 years as well. In 2 years Hill will probably be gone. So if Waddle takes another step, 28.5 mil for WR1 will be looking good with all these crazy WR contracts .

Ya I read that article from florio that he thinks WRs will turn into RBs. No way IMO as the top guys will always break bank. I think the guys who will suffer in the WR market in the next 5 years or so are the guys like Gabe Davis . The above average to middle guys

Player- Tremaine Edmunds Coach- Leslie Frazier

Never in my post did I say he didn't meet his teammates yet, you misread it

Arguably, yes. NFL GMs/coaches don't see it that way though

You're right but at the same time, he's got a good point as they don't get valued as much as guards/tackles. Highest paid centre this year I believe is Ragnow at 13.5 million. Compared to highest paid guard- Dickerson at 21 mil per and Sewell for tackle at 28 mil per year

You would just think he would be eager to get to know his teammates a bit more and develop chemistry with Stroud. Is it a big deal? Probably not. But just not a good look IMO

I hope you're right sir. Would be awesome to get 5 plus sacks from him

To a certain point you got to be responsible for your own actions. Lots of ex players probably have CTE who don't act this bizarre. Aaron Hernandez had CTE- does that excuse him of killing 3 people?

Fair. If you look it that way though, that's about a low end DE3 or a very high end DE4. I think he's DE5, assuming he's even active every game. I am not saying you're wrong. I just think that would be extremely good and encouraging production for a 5th round rookie rotational end who may not be active every game.

I hope you're right. If bills get 5 sacks from Solomon, that would be huge production for a 5th round rookie edge

Predictively I think you're right as I don't think they are gonna add another one. But I hope they do as I don't think the DE room is nearly good enough. Now admittedly I don't know who's out there in free agency now as I haven't really checked

Some sort of pass rusher. Rousseau, AJ, Von as your top 3 isn't good enough IMO. Hoping for a similar situation last year when they signed Leonard Floyd

If you follow baseball, he looks exactly like the Blue Jays manager John Schneider lol

That's totally fair, I'm not saying "fear " Miami. The original comment I responded too was him saying it was going to be an "easy" game. There is just no way I agree with that. 4 out of the 5 games against McDaniel (including the playoff game) have been one score games which came down to the last possession

Yes it is lol. The common theme above is that the pats had Tom Brady while the bills had guys like Kyle orton and fitz. The Steelers had Big Ben and how Many Brandon Weeden QBs for the browns? The packers had A rod and the bears had who, Jay cutler as the best? If you want to make some sort of sample size to this dolphins then look at the last 2 seasons under McDaniel and Tua. What Miami did against Josh Allen with Flores and Ryan Fitzpatrick has 0 relevance. Bills are 3-1 against Miami in the last 2 years against McDaniel/Tua. (Not including the close game against Skylar Thompson in the playoffs) 2022 at Miami loss 2022- Game winning FG to win 2023- Blowout win 2023 at Miami- close win against a banged up Miami team with the help of a punt return TD. So from that sample size ^, what makes you think it's going to be an "easy" game?

The outcomes in 2019, 2020 etc are completely irrelevant to 2024

I understand that . When I say short week, I wasn't talking exclusively about the bills. A short week on the road is also more of a challenging dynamic. Home teams were 11-4 at home on TNF last year It's not a negative. Just can't really rely on special teams TDs as it's a bit of an anomaly to get them .

Oh I agree don't get me wrong I'm not betting the bills are gonna lose. But easy game? lol. Assuming both teams win week 1 with no major injuries, The spread will be -3 max
