Bills trade with Browns for Corey Coleman
BarleyNY replied to 17islongenough's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Truly an excellent speed WR except that he hasn’t been able to stay healthy or catch the ball. I’m not being snarky here. His speed and elusiveness are top shelf. Im sure taking a shot with him was worth whatever late pick the Bills gave up. -
Hard Knocks 2018: The Cleveland Browns
BarleyNY replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Gordon had one “good” season? He played 14 games that season - and led the league in receiving yards. And he had garbage at QB. (Notably Calvin Johnson played that year.) That’s a long way beyond just “good”. -
Shady is 30. Aside from the craziness involved, this is what I keep thinking about in relation to the Bills and a possible suspension. He’s under contract for this season and next and that’s going to effectively be it. At 32 he’s not going to be a top back or highly paid. Any suspension (or poor play due to distraction) will cost the Bills that portion of his remaing useful career here.

ESPN: Ranking NFL's Best Offensive Arsenals (#29)
BarleyNY replied to BigDingus's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I agree. It just sucks to see no hope for anyone but NE to take the division. -

The Jest and Phish are two of the three teams rated behind us -
Sammy Watkins classes it up on his way out of LA
BarleyNY replied to Rigotz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It’ll be interesting to see how it all works out because there’s that other thing about markets - the market sets prices based on perceptions of value, but there are often wide variances between that and actual values. -
Both. Crispy and hot. I used to be a drum guy until I learned how to eat a flat. The key is to grasp it by the ends and twist it back and forth until one of the bones breaks free. Remove that (easily) and it’ll come clean off the other bone. Chunky Bleu cheese and celery are a must.

Julio Jones Trade possibilty?
BarleyNY replied to dwight in philly's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
That is not true, the Bills could certainly afford JJ. The Bills have $17.6M in space now ($11M more than Atlanta) and the third lowest obligations in the league in 2019. That said, Atlanta isn’t trading him. -

BarleyNY replied to dwight in philly's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Not sure if they are trying to extend his deal or not. JJ has three more years on his deal and Atlanta only has $6.6M in cap space. He’s still the 8th highest paid WR in the NFL. My bet is that he’ll have to play at least this season (for Atlanta) under this contract although they might choose to restructure it a bit and give him more cash up front. -
Need a mani pedi? Update: Poll added
BarleyNY replied to BuffaloBill's topic in Off the Wall Archives
No. Buts it’s totally a matter of convenience. I’d do it if I had time and wasn’t so cheap. -
Agreed. It might come down to what the team gets offered for him. He’s not really a good fit now so he’s got to be worth more to another team (where he’s a better scheme fit) than he is to the Bills. Sooner or later that trade happens.
-
I thought that it was a good idea to give Peterman the start last season. Sigh.....
-
Yeah. Not really a surprise to see him on the block. He fit Wrex’s defense, but he’s not a fit in McD’s at all.

Sammy Watkins classes it up on his way out of LA
BarleyNY replied to Rigotz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It’s tough to know what to say when you can’t just be honest and say “KC paid me waaaay more than anyone else was offering.” -
Move heard that his kids have strongly encouraged him to keep playing and it’s a big reason he’s done so. Gottta call it at some point and he’s gotta be thinking about walking away from the game and into that life you mentioned while he still can. Also you know he’s going to be in a booth and that’ll pay pretty well too.

Awhile back a poster mentioned that a friend who works in an NFL FO told him that sometimes teams will make a trade like this as a favor. Team A trades a relatively highly drafted player who busted to Team B for a conditional pick. Team B then cuts the player. This is just a way to avoid the headline of the Jets cutting Hackenburg.

The high pay is due to the revenue and profits of the league. The players that provide the product sold have a union, but it’s the weakest union of the 3 major sports and the CBA reflects that. You are correct that there really is no side to pick as the rules have been agreed upon. In this case a team broke one and a fine has been levied.

Howard Simon Tries To Do 1 Pull Up For Charity
BarleyNY replied to BuffaloRush's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I used to not be able to one unassisted. I started with a leg on a chair. Then I did what I could unassisted and finished the set assisted. Now 3 sets of 10 unassisted is in my workout. I actually surprised myself getting this far. -
All NFL Contracts Should Be Performance Based ...
BarleyNY replied to T master's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Totally agree. Tons of other issues too. Although I’d consider going along with the OP if the returned money went to the fans who spent money on tickets, jerseys, etc.
