Wonder what E.J. Gaines going rate would be . . . can never have too many cb's.

There are other people who do what he does, but they don't make what he does. There's not even an upside to the contract, it started out bad and can only get worse. Isn't he our highest paid player this year? You can't play role players like that! A couple more contracts like his and we'll be headed for another cap hell repeat of this year.

Totally agree the two are not related, and its definitely a huge deal for Pittsburgh. I just don't think you can conclude the team is dysfunctional, sometimes people need a change.

No, I'm suggesting that there's nothing unusual happening in Pittsburgh or Buffalo. Players are just individuals making decisions and two people leaving isn't even a pattern.

I don't care how old/bad you are, retiring at half time is mysterious.

Yeah, I'm not worried about our locker room or anything. I just think to an outside observer who doesn't follow the bills that along with all the trades raises some eyebrows.

And Incognito.

Not sure, but I definitely think what went down in SF was way more shocking. Honestly, the exodus of players under McD seems like more of a red flag. We've had a lot of players retire under mysterious circumstances.

I want to trade back pick up a first next year and have Christian Wilkins fall to us mid/late in the first.

All I want is to avoid contracts like Star's.

Is it? A pats* Superbowl has happened almost every year but this will be once in a lifetime.

It was definitely hard to watch!

Unfortunately, I think the pats* have overshadowed every teams legacy.

I think there are a lot of players not even on their board, way more so than most other teams. I expect they will keep moving around so they find the right guys at the right spots.

Shaping up to be an all time great broadcaster.

He coached plenty of good special teams units with us.

"The position guaranteed to touch the ball" Classic AP analysis.

If we're going to take someone from Clemson's dline I want Wilkins. Perfect replacement for Kyle Williams.

They definitely signed Brees to a record contract, and were doing a lot of restructuring while they were competitive, but I'm not going to pretend I know the inns and outs of their bad contracts. I don't believe in the "rookie QB window either" but I do think getting good value for the money is the most overlooked element of winning. The year they did have that huge dead money figure the saints were not good. Even with an exceptional QB.

Saints went through cap space hell though. Up until this year they held the record for most dead cap in a season. Brady famously takes way bellow his market value. You can't exactly expect your players to do that.

This probably shouldn't count, but Anthony Lynn's game was so bad that I have an exact moment that I knew he wasn't going to remain at head coach. When we didn't even bother to pick up a kick off.

I'm going to go with nothing. If you're not excited at this point nothing is going to satisfy but proof. I mean sure, some might remain unconvinced as they should be of a rookie, but he's definitely shown enough for any "fan" to be optimistic.

I actually think the refs are pretty good. I couldn't do it. Missed/bad calls are painful but they nail it 99% of the time.

I think he's one of the rare superstars that does fit in with what McD wants to do.
