I understand if you don’t want to dump a ton of money in the LB corps, but there’s no comparison between Wu and Williams. Wu is special. Williams is limited. Also I’d note that Wu would be dirt cheap this season due to the Browns restructuring his salary.

Heard that the Bills and Rams have called Cleveland about Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah (aka Wu, JOK). He’d be the perfect long term Milano replacement IMO. No word on what was offered or Cleveland’s level of interest in trading him though.

That is a blow to one of my FF teams.

That is incorrect. The Browns have been eeking out every cent they can on the salary cap. That means yearly restructures of salary into signing bonuses. As such, Garrett’s salary for the season is $1.2M. If traded, only the prorated portion of that amount would come with him. https://overthecap.com/player/myles-garrett/5585

Jerry Jones didn’t want to pay him $20M a season so he got shipped to the Browns for almost nothing. Then $20M became a deal for WRs of his caliber. He only got traded this season because the Browns knew he was gone as a FA in the offseason and their current season is shot.

I thought he should’ve been their hire too. I expect Vrable to be HC of the Eagles, Browns (where he’s currently a consultant) or Patriots by next season. Mayo must’ve really screwed up royally to lose a locker room so quickly. Any insight as to why he’s so hated now? I never heard that type of thing while he was DC.

I previously mentioned Za’Darius Smith as an option at DE. All I can add to what I said before is that there are now multiple teams talking to Cleveland about trading for him. The interwebs say that Detroit is in on him. He also seems to want to go there so he can play against his former team, the Vikings.

They tried to trade up for a QB in this past draft and had no problem with that being broadcast on Hard Knocks. I think that was their plan: one season to see if he could develop and a second as a bridge. They just couldn’t complete a trade up to get a QB they wanted in the draft.

The criticism of the Daniels contract has been overblown IMO. Coming off of a playoff season they had to do something to keep him. Schoen did a reasonable job there because the contract was effectively a 2 year, $82M deal, which is over this season. More than he was worth, obviously, but they were stuck and needed to see if he continued to develop. I think Dabs and Schoen get to pick their QB and get a shot with him. The Giants are a stable organization with steady ownership and that bodes well for them staying.

I do not expect the Brown to move Garrett, but them trading Za’darius Smth is looking more and more likely. He’d help the Bills and would be reasonable in trade compensation.

For real. How difficult is it to find some staph cells?

While I agree that the NFL’s product has seen an overall decline, I gotta say that I really enjoyed today’s game.

This is going to hurt the Browns badly from a cap standpoint, but there will be some cap relief due to the injury insurance policy that the Browns have on him. More info in the tweet replies.

That’s hilarious. Finally approved the day after the stadium move was announced. I have to think that this was something that got moving to save the stadium on the lake. Now we will see if the city can effectively use it to redevelop the area.

Edmunds played here on his 5th year option before becoming a FA. Yes, Rousseau’s option has been picked up for 2025, but he and the Bills can negotiate a new deal at any time. Next offseason makes sense to come to a long term deal if it’s going to happen, but I think there’s too much money on the table in FA for him so I expect him to play it out. That’s what happened with Edmunds.

Spotrac estimates GR’s market value at $23.2M/season on a 4 year, $92.8M deal. I expect this situation to be similar to Edmunds’. Some team will overpay him if/when he hits FA and I won’t want the Bills to match it. I think if he was okay with staying for less, then it will be done this coming offseason. Same as Edmunds. Edit: meant this coming offseason, not last

Cooper handles himself as a professional. No surprise he’ll suit up.

Burke seems to be a favorite of the rich folks and corporations with private planes. There has been talk of closing it for decades, but nothing ever happens. Cleveland would need to repurpose that land and build a land bridge over parts of the shore way to make development of the lakefront work. That’s always seemed like too heavy a lift for the city.

The lakeside land the current stadium is on can’t support a stadium with a roof which the Haslams very much want. Also the powers that be in Cleveland won’t develop the lakefront near the stadium and have drug their feet on doing much of anything else. Much like Niagara Falls is always shown for prime time Buffalo games I’m sure they’ll still show the Rock Hall, etc.

Really can’t beat the location of Wingnutz or Elmo’s to UB. Not sure about Elmo’s, but Wingnutz easily has the room to accommodate 16. I would not bother with Amherst Ale House unless you want to sit in small groups at 3 or 4 different tables.

A trade of Garrett is already being speculated about in Cleveland. He will be 29 next month and the Browns might need to blow things up. A lot would depend on return and I would remind people that he’s the reigning DPOY. He wouldn’t be cheap. I thought a Cooper trade out of Cleveland was more likely than not. I’d go the other way on Garrett as of today, but it’s not out of the question as I think things in Cleveland only get worse. Fans are praying that Goodell suspends Watson again so they can void his guarantees and cut him.

I think it depends on their expectations of Samuel returning to health. If he does, then we have: WR1 Cooper (X) WR2 Shakir (Y/Z) WR3 Samuel (Y/Z) WR4 Coleman WR5 Hollins I am happy with that. If Samuel is expected to be hobbled the whole season, then I’d want the Bills to keep looking at the trade market. It’s easier to find a Y/Z than an X so that would help.

Amari Cooper gives the Bills a real chance. They had none with the WR corps as it was constructed. It’s nice to not see media and many fans pretend that the chickens**t WR sandwich was really chicken salad.

I am mot aware of rules regarding the plane of the passer’s arm, only that forward motion of the passer’s arm is all that is needed to qualify a pass rather than a fumble.
