From my perspective you can get what he gives you for WAY less money. It’s probably an “either/or” and I’d much rather have Shaq. You can either sign a premium guy at the position or draft a guy. There’s no reason to pay Trent Murphy $9M.

If the Bills release Murphy and Kroft it opens another $12.2M in cap space. Those feel like pretty easy decisions IMO.

This is the answer

I’d rather see Yeldon get those snaps. Get him the ball in the flat.

It is what it is...

Kenyan Drake was the FA in my head.

I mean maybe but there’s no way that the Bills are going into next year and counting on a guy that has played 1 year of organized football. If he contributes, great but they will be adding another RB to the room.

That was his tinder name when he would try to hook up with coeds. I mean no college girl in an SEC town is going to recognize Lane Kiffin ?

If we are thinking RB at that point I’d rather Dobbins or Swift. I want more explosion. I’d consider Etienne too.

Taylor has more carries than Gore

Just to be clear, this is a party that 49er fans are throwing for 49er fans that came to the game. You’d think if you came all of this way you wouldn’t back out over a couple hundred for a ticket. If I’m going on the road, I’m going to the game. This is such a weak move by SF fans.

Obviously there are some MASSIVE games this weekend. I figured at some point there will he threads on these games so I’m starting one. Also, I saw this tweet and found it HILARIOUS: Imagine traveling 2,275 miles to watch a game at Dave & Busters!! This is the type of lunacy that may cause me to find a new team. Thank God I never have to worry about that with the Bills.

100% agree It’s WAY more important to treat players well than it is to try to save a couple of million dollars. Your reputation matters in this league.

Ha ha, he is special. He’s such an a-hole. At the same time he’s a good coach and he will recruit there. This can’t possibly be like any regular hiring. He’s not going to go to Ole Miss and quietly be .500 for 4 years and get fired. It is going to be fireworks. They are talking about it on Gameday now.

Go stick ole’ Joey Freshwater in Oxford with an open checkbook and no rules and see what happens. Its like a reality show.

FWIW, the college sub-forum always has a lot of good discussion. It’s interesting because we have a bunch of different fan bases represented. You get to hear perspective on other teams from those that are way more informed on them. Additionally, it’s a great place to hear about draft prospects. We can read all we want about these kids but it’s always interesting to hear what those who followed closest think. As an example at some point I’m sure we will have @BillfromNYC and @BillsFanCRNA discussing the differences between the 3 Alabama WRs. I think that the Bills go WR in round 1 and I think all 3 Bama guys go in that round. To me, I know basically what each of them does well but my knowledge is very surface level. I’d love to hear them talking about what separates them from each other.

I have a good friend that played CB there. He’s one of the guys that I split my Pelicans season tickets with. We were at the game Thursday and he said it’s a done deal. I hadn’t even heard the rumors at that point. Kiffin and Ole Miss is a match made in heaven. They are either going to be the next great SEC West Program or it’s going to be an absolute tire fire. Either way, I am on board for it!!

...and I’m fine with a player making that decision. My issue is with the fans that immediately go to “I hope that he takes less than he’s worth to stay with us.” It’s happened at least twice in this thread. The fan’s ONLY thought is “I hope Tre stays with us.” For some reason Bills fans do that ALL of the time. Obviously, every player has a lot that they need to consider before making a FA decision. The reality with Tre specifically is that he will be here for a little while regardless. The Bills will absolutely tag him when the time comes if needed. With other guys though we shouldn’t care what they make. It makes ZERO difference to us what we pay Matt Milano as long as he is on the Bills. And before someone says, “yeah but cap space” please don’t. There is no such thing as capped out in the NFL in 2019!! The rules are way too easy to circumvent. You can always just kick the can down the road as the Saints have done for a decade. The cap increases make this simple. The only thing that the Bills need to worry about is “do we need this guy?” In Tre’s case the answer is unequivocally, 100% yes. He’s going to be the highest paid CB in history. That’s what’s going to happen. We should be happy for him. The guys in the locker room will be happy for him. If you want to see recruiting and a good locker room, treat your players well. The Pegula’s get that.

He was legitimately the most dominant freshman that I’ve ever seen (keep in mind I’m too young for Herschel Walker). Adrian Peterson was up there as well but I don’t remember anyone else that I’d have there. He was in the backfield every, single play. We are starting to see his legendary quickness. If he continues to develop like this we may have a star on our hands.

This was the game that I was positive I wanted Ed Oliver on my team. As a freshman I thought that he was the best that I’d ever seen (still think that). This game though was a special kind of dominant.

Again, why? He should get paid what he deserves. We shouldn’t want guys to make less money to stay with us. You friends don’t “hope that you take less money to stay at your current job for the good of the rest of the staff.” There is no such thing as a hometown discount and I hate the thought that people even suggest it. It’s a huge pet peeve and will NEVER understand wanting guys to make less than they are worth. Let’s just pay Tre as the best CB in football. That’s what he’s becoming. That’s what he’s worth. We should be thrilled to have him.

Can we just think for 1 second about home field advantage throughout....

I agree. I’m hoping that it is a “workmanlike” 38-20 type of performance. They don’t need Fields to be spectacular. He needs to be efficient and make plays with his arm on 3rd down. Dobbins needs to keep them ahead of the chains on the early downs. If UGA can keep it close we won’t see it move IMO. If LSU dominates and OSU doesn’t we may see a flip flop Sunday Morning. I’m really hoping that isn’t the case.

If any year was important to have the 1 seed it is this year. You want to avoid Clemson in a “winner take all” type of game. I’ll take my chances with OU or Utah 8 days a week.

LSU absolutely throttled them last year. I don’t know if that means anything but UGA was a pretty big favorite and got beat by 20. It’s going to be interesting. UGA is like the opposite of LSU. If they can keep this game tight they can win. They just can’t get down 2 scores.
