I heard a rumor about how you can get a Kiko jersey cheaper, but I don’t think you’re gonna like it. .

So, he’s giving up bad decisions for a while? I’m happy for him, and I’m glad it worked out, but it was hardly a stroke of genius. He was always going to get a LOT of money. But it’s not fully guaranteed. The Browns are singularly stupid with long term/fully guaranteed. In the current market you have to chose one, as I hope it will always remain.

YOU JUST KEEP GETTING THERE AHEAD OF ME!!! 😂

THIS! So I’m getting mentally prepared for a Safety and a DT. 🤷‍♂️

I think I can…. I think I can…. I think I can…………..

Not if it’s me. That sounds like Bruce, however. I’d have let him sit out. They made a fair deal at the time that pleased both sides. They have generational wealth, and enough left over to pay the rest of the team and keep winning Super Bowls. That leads to more endorsements. I’m not a “resent the rich guy” kinda person, but greedy is different IMO. .

That’s fine, but the question remains: How much is guaranteed???? That was always the sticking point.

I’ve never attended a draft, but Nashville looked awesome on TV! Great venue for it, too. As I’ve posted elsewhere, I’d rather be able to sit in the Bills war room during a draft than attend a Super Bowl the Bills were playing in. I’ve been to a Bills SB (spoiler alert: we lost). I’ve been to a LOT of games. The war room would be a unique and amazing experience. So Terry, if you’re reading this, please PM me. It’s not too late! 😋

Well, you tried. I’ll give you credit for that. 😋

I don’t sit in the room as they make those pricing decisions, but that sounds like an AWFUL plan to pay 0.3% in the current market. That is not just low, that is PISS ME OFF low. I looked up our Barclays account and I believe it’s paying 3.8%. (My wife handles most of the investment stuff, so I had to check.) If you are getting 4% or 4.25%, I’m OK with that. I’m not chasing every penny on a regular basis, but 0.3% in this market is how you get people to commit to never doing business with you again. Great, you made a little bit more off of me for a little while, but you lose in the long run. There is a gas station on a great corner right by my house. They routinely charge 40-70 cents/gallon more than multiple stations a mile in any direction. People fill up with gas there all day long. Again, I don’t need the BEST deal, but this feels like an insulting stupidity tax. I wouldn’t buy a bottle of water from them if I was thirsty.

Maybe you’re just cranky when it comes to draft related stuff? Take a deeeep breath and relax. 😋

Prayers sent to your father and your entire family during this difficult time.

If we draft somebody, and nobody bashes him on this board, I will burn my couch on the street.

Your cup is not just half full, it over-floweth! Sign me up, if that is what it takes to avoid bad decisions. I kid, I want no pain for anyone, but that’s life. I’d like the money, but detest the fame.

Fair enough. They don’t move back that far. I think the devil is in the details here. How much salary, exactly. What other details are there? I think I’d wait, but they may not have any acceptable options……yet. It may be a game of chicken. It may also be a hundred other things. 🤷‍♂️

So you favor a VERY expensive WR who will be 31 next year over every player in this draft? A young guy who will be here 4-5 years on the (relative) cheap? They may have a handful of guys they LOVE, but don’t expect them to fall to them. I’m all for a player of Hopkin’s ability and what he could do for us. I just think this is one of those games of chicken and we’ll have to wait and see.

Yes, I was born in October. Ask my mom! 😋 October is the beginning of the good stuff in the south, while it’s nearing the end of the good stuff up north.

I hope he didn’t “pull a Favre”!

Today is not the day to make a trade, since you have no idea who might fall to you. We might have a bunch of Bills fans staying up late to see……the Bills not making a pick. I think most would be okay with that if it came to be.

First round will be on me!!!

Ohhhhhh, NOW we’ve done it! I read your post, then went to an NFL.COM mock by Charles Davis who has us taking DB Brian Branch of Alabama at 27. I hope we haven’t created a karmic disaster! EDIT: I just looked at WalterFootball (for some reason) and they have us taking RB Gibbs of Bama. I need to stop looking! .

One little problem…..I only have NFL network on satellite since cable dropped the station (without reducing my bill, of course). I only have satellite for Bills games (Sunday Ticket) so the satellite package is minimal and does not include ESPN. I’ll have to switch back and forth from satellite to cable feeds to change channels. First world problem, I know, but it’s kind of a pain in the neck. 😖

I would rather sit in the war room for a Bills draft than attend a Super Bowl, even if the Bills are playing. We attended one Bills SB (vs Washington in Minneapolis) so I’ve kinda checked that box. Sitting in on a draft would be new and fascinating.

I didn’t click on the link. I want Josh to draw them.

I hope it wasn’t just two of you, but if it was you are a modern medical miracle! 😂 Those were crazy, but great times. Seriously great times, even if we didn’t fully understand that at the time.
