I didn't see that. Checked spotrac and it appears he has a no trade clause. I was operating under the idea that Payton may be on his last legs and new coaches typically mean new QBs.
If we've budgeted for Tyrod's 2017 contract # and we want to trade for an aging QB, I say target Brees. It's pretty clear they are about to be in full rebuild mode.

Patriots QB Jacoby Brissett is present in locker room during media access. He does not have any protective covering over his right thumb.
They're all small sample sizes.
Al Groh went 9-7 in his 1 season as an NFL HC
Bill O'Brien is 18-14 so far
As far as what I'm considering 'most of the Bills HC's' I'm just looking at our record since Levy left. Since '98 we're 126-162. That's literally like going 7-9 every year for 18 years. It's also worth noting that the average tenure of a Bills HC is 2.57 years over that same span. And yes, that is discounting Perry Fewel's interim job entirely.
EDIT: for statistical accuracy, Rex is currently the HC and his tenure should be removed from the average since it is not completed yet. THe average tenure of a Bills HC since 1998 is 2.83 years discounting the interim job.
This should not be a concern. If the headsets go out Tyrod has a playcall wristband. Statistically speaking he has a ~3% chance to call the same play A Lynn wanted if we prep 35-40 plays
He's also played some halves, which wouldn't be factored into that. I think the Watkins injury stuff is overstated, don't get me wrong, but I do wonder what % of his games did he appear on the injury report?
The problem is that his specialty was the side that was failing. I believe the team would have seen more success if Marrone would have released his grip on the O and focused more on HC/Managerial duties. Unfortunately, he tried to make power plays for more control instead.
I seem to remember several reports surfacing about how Marrone essentially handcuffed Hackett's playcalling. To have been a fly on the wall in those rooms...
Wasn't the roster that Rex took to back to back AFC Championships put together mostly by Mangini & crew? Maybe we should bring Mangini in as a GM instead of a coach.
