Dude, you realize this is Yeezus you are responding to right? ?

Its not posted yet. I just looked. It should eventually post to NFL’s twitter, and the Oakland Raiders twitter. https://mobile.twitter.com/NFL?ref_src=twsrc^google|twcamp^serp|twgr^author https://mobile.twitter.com/Raiders?ref_src=twsrc^google|twcamp^serp|twgr^author

He gets his $40M bonus this year, but the 6 year extension doesn’t start until next season. So they have him for 7yrs total. Potential out for the team in 2022. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/los-angeles-rams/aaron-donald-14422/

Only thing that sucks about cutting him is the $3.5M dead cap hit this year, and $2M next year (according to spotrac/overthecap). Bills don’t save anything by cutting him. Im still hoping he sticks around, but I think it’s a long shot.

Yeah, he has to be a pretty happy guy today, I’d think.

Damn. So $22.5M per year. That makes him the highest paid Defensive linemen by a pretty comfortable margin. It looks like the next closest guy is at $17.1M. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/rankings/average/defensive-line/ Crazy to see Dareus listed at #8.

Yeah, for sure. At least a year, if not 2. As much as I would absolutely love to buy this, I don’t think I can bring myself to spend $6000 or more (guessing...) on a TV. Definitely interested in seeing it in person though. I am going to be watching the price of those Z9D’s for sure! I’m betting it’ll drop to $2500 soon. How do you like your Z9D btw? How does it perform when watching regular cable? Do you notice a big difference in picture quality? How do Bills games look?

Still can’t believe he went at the top of the 2nd...

Does that apply to Mack though, since he’s already played 4 full seasons? https://raiderswire.usatoday.com/2018/07/27/raiders-de-khalil-mack-has-upper-hand-in-contract-dispute/ No matter what I just can’t imagine him sitting out an entire season. Even if if he did, the raiders could always just tag him I believe?

LOL at how much bulletin board material this guy is continually giving to a whole bunch of teams/players. It would be so funny if the Jags come crashing back down to earth this year.

I have a close friend who has a very severe seizure disorder. He has grand mal seizures (the most severe kind) on a daily, and sometimes hourly basis. He can’t drive, or even work. He will be walking and just suddenly started seizing and fall over. He’s caused himself some very serious injuries - falling down stairs. Falling head first onto the concrete. Falling into objects (once he fell and hit his eye directly on the corner of a table. His eye was luckily ok, but looked beyond horrible). He he has been on a ridiculous amount of medications to try and curb these seizures. Some medicines will help him reduce the number of seizures for a short while, but usually stop working pretty quickly. Most of the time, none of the meds have really done him much good, and none have come even close to stopping the seizure. The side effects are not good, either. They make him into a “space cadet”, or cause him to have numerous strange side effects. Well, he started to use CBD about 6 months ago and has only had a few seizures in that 6 month time span. It’s been absolutely amazing for him. To go from having multiple seizures a week (if not even more), to now only having a few over the course of a 1/2 year is unbelieveable. Even better is that he says there are no negative side effects whatsoever form the CBD.

As far as I am aware CBD is legal in all 50 states. I know it can be purchased legally here in NY (without any medical card. They even sell it at a lot of gas stations now, but I have my doubts that it’s a quality product) I have a friend who recently opened a CBD business in NY state. He grows/produces all his own CBD. His products get rave reviews from his customers. He also sells other natural items for pain (etc). It’s an online business, but he has his warehouse right here in NY. And I know there is a CBD specialty shop here in Buffalo that I believe is open to the general public. Never been there myself, but I recently saw an ad for it on Facebook. You can also order it off the internet. But you have to do your research. There are a lot of companies that are less than honest and sell products that do not have the amount of CBD listed on the label, or buy their CBD isolate (or hemp) in bulk form China. Feel free to PM me if you’d like any info.

The Z9F with the new X1 Ultimate chip. Coming out this fall. I can’t wait to get a look at this thing in person. Ill bet the price is going to be insane, though.

https://buffalonews.com/2018/08/29/oreilly-on-blues-a-stanley-cup-is-possible/ Uhh... you could have done that here ROR. Listening to everything ROR has said since the end of the season I can absolutely see why botterill made it a priority to get rid of this guy. It sounds like he had a terrible mindset. This is a guy that was looked at as a leader here. Contrast that to Eichel, who just recently gave an interview and said “if you’re not striving for a cup every year, then what are you playing for?” and I can see where this team could get a big confidence boost getting rid of ROR and turning things over to Eichel.

I don’t really know that it was ever a realistic scenario. Colts GM wasn’t willing to fall back to #12. The reason he traded with the Jets was because he could still land the player the truly wanted at #6. This was confirmed non draft night when he was once again unwilling to trade back from #6 with the Bills. And from the rumors, the Giants were unwilling to trade back from #2. There was even a rumor that they may have refused three 1st round picks. IMO The only chance would have been if the Browns were willing to trade back from #4. The Bills would’ve had to trade to #12. Then from #12 to #4, and then trade up again from #4 to #2. That doesn’t sound very realistic to me. I feel ok about Darnold even if he turn into a star because I feel like we never had a legit chance at him. Now the teams that will be kicking themselves are the Browns (if Mayfield doesn’t turn out as good/better) and the Giants, who passed on him and put their faith in a declining 36yr old Eli. Thise are also the 2 teams that I will blame as a Bills fan... I’d have much rather the Jets got Mayfield vs Darnold... but I’m not as sold on Mayfield as others were/are.

Belichick hates the Jets with a passion. He refused to even mention them by name when talking about Romeo Crennel. http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/bill-belichick-angry-talk-jets-article-1.3425769 remember, he also resigned from the Jets coaching job after 24hrs. And the Jets were the ones who blew him in for SpyGate (Eric Mangini was the one who turned him in for secretly taping the Jets). I have little doubt that he hates the Jets more than he hates the Bills.

Damn. A 3rd? Good job by the Jets GM.

Not the team I’d have necessarily expected to trade for him. But they have very little behind Drew Brees, and they were after a QB last year. So it’s not all that surprising. Wonder if if they will try to re-sign him, or if they just view him as insurance for this season.

That was a good read. It explains why some positions were not addressed as well as we fans would have liked. It’s not just because they were ignoring them, or don’t see that they need to be upgraded.

Good read. Thanks for sharing.

Wow!

? I still get a huge smile on my face and that excited feeling in my stomach every time I watch the video where they turn over that card with the Buffalo Sabres logo on it...

https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/oreilly-tarasenko-making-stanley-cup-run-blues/ ROR definitely sounds excited, and like he needed a change of scenery (if that wasn’t clear already). I expect him him to be very good for St. Louis this year, just like he was his first year in Buffalo. Its really a shame... I remember during his first year here, talking about how I thought he would be a huge part of any future success Buffalo had. You read about how he stayed after every practice. How the kids were following him around like the pied piper. He performed great on the ice. Then year two, it seemed like everything started to change. He didn’t stay after practice nearly as much. You no longer heads about the young guys following him around. He wasn’t as good on the ice. You started to hear that maybe he and some teammates didn’t get along 100%. Year three continued that trend, with things getting worse and worse. Until we reached the tipping point (at least publicly) with his now infamous year end presser. I wish him well in St. Louis. Though I don’t wish the team too well this season. I want that 1st to be as good as possible. IIRC it’s lottery protected? So I’ll be rooting for a quick 1st round exit this year! lol
