  1. I may be in the minority but I kind of liked the trade up for Allen.
  2. No. I said tariffs are a leftist policy. I just view it as an unneeded business regulation that hurts both the owner of a business and it's employees just because free trade "isn't fair." It also prioritizes labor over capital which the left is supposed to be doing.
  3. I'd take Maye over Tua but just because of his durability. I also don't think Tua is a natural leader. However, when healthy, he's one of the most accurate QB's in the short and intermediate routes I've ever seen. His release time, anticipation, and touch is special. His lack of arm strength is what prevents him from being in that upper QB tier but get the right offensive coordinator around him to maximize his strengths and he could be Drew Brees scary. Luckily, they're sticking with Grier as GM and Shanahan's Jan Brady at HC so they won't be a threat.
  4. It's really odd that he played six years there and didn't become a starter until his final year. He's raw at corner (switching from WR to CB in 2022) so I'm guessing he's not as pro ready as a bunch of the these other corners. He seems like a project with massive upside. If the Bills do covet him I hope they used their 2nd second round draft pick on him.
  5. I assume the incentives falls under the "not likely to be earned" category making the contract look good for a former all pro. Maybe the Bills brass said if you're the first man to walk on Mars your $2.5m salary will jump to $6.8m.
  6. I respect your opinion and the Gilmore and Samuel Jr. points are completely reasonable and maybe even likely. I'd still take Douglas over White though even though his play dropped off a little at the end of last year. I do still prefer a CB first round that can start on the outside opposite Benford right away. Douglas might be looking for more money and/or assurance that he's a starter though. I wish we were privy to that information because I hate guessing. There's also the option of trading for a CB after the draft that would upgrade the spot which is pry off the table now with the White signing. I just think if White wasn't a former Buffalo Bill we'd be looking at this signing in a similar light as if Bradberry signed here. Maybe even worse considering his play last year was poorly for the most part after the ACL and Achilles injuries. Even being 75% version of his previous self is pry optimistic given those two devastating injuries.
  7. When we re-sign Poyer it might get awkward.
  8. Could be a smoke screen so a team won't jump the Bills for a CB. 4D chess.
  9. I'm human too man. Definitely a fan favorite right up there with Kyle Williams and Freddie Jackson.
  10. Take nostalgia and emotion out of it. It pry decreases the chance of us signing a better veteran (Gilmore, Samuel Jr., Douglas) after the draft if we fail to address CB in the draft. The CB2 spot might be filled via mid season trade again.
  11. Like any leftist policy. It doesn't.
  12. Pry wanted to work him out and get his medicals coming off his torn Achilles is my guess.
  13. I don't know about PFF grades. I do know the sentiment around Ravens fans was that he played better than expected and hoped they'd bring him back but only at the right price. Half glass full is it takes two years before you truly recovery from a ruptured Achilles. Rodgers wouldn't shut up about it.
  14. Up to $6.8m. It's a one year $1.75m guaranteed contract that will reach that $6.8m if he is the first person to walk on Mars.
  15. Throwing Mike Williams under the bus after the Bills loss is exactly who he is. Probably the most talented QB I've ever seen but there's a reason he won only one Super Bowl.
  16. Agreed. Both parties involved were completely on brand. I'm sure he'll get over it. After his "immunized" statement and lying about his wifi connection I take everything Aaron says with a grain of salt.
  17. You only heard one side to the story so far.
  18. In fairness to Glenn and Mougey, they didn't think they'd deserve the information because they got the booster shots.
  19. If I was Glenn I'd pry say, "Son, your ego is writing checks your body can't cash." Having him fly all the way across country and then just firing him on something that could've been done on a simple phone call makes me scared this Jets regime knows what it's doing.
  20. You'd have the worst of two worlds. I think Bernie (or someone with his exact ideology) would implement these tariffs the same way Trump is now. Less chaotic but still just another tax on the American people with broken promises of bringing back manufacturing jobs playing on nostalgia. However, he'd also push for legislation that increased the capital gains tax, implement every possible regulation he could come up with via EO, a national minimum wage despite different costs of living discrepancies throughout the country (if passed killing small businesses in poorer states), and an increase the tax rate on the people that fell in the upper tax brackets. Just the threat of this would lead to businesses not even think of investing here, a substantial decline in the stock market because there's no incentive to buy with a depressed economy, small businesses that would fold, an increase in unemployment, and at best a recession. That's pry the best case scenario as Congress would do everything they can do block not just his terrible economic policies but social one's as well.
  21. So, nothing's changed in Cleveland.
  22. I think the general consensus is..... $12 to $15m per year. No way in hell. $8 to $11m per year. Maybe depending on how much of that money is guaranteed. Under $8m. Get him a pen asap. I think that's accurate and I know there's a loud minority that thinks he should get the bag.
  23. What team in their right mind would give him Barkley money? A high comp pick is unlikely though. If we do get a comp pick for him it will pry be at best a 5th (imo). Floyd and Davis got us 5th round comp picks and they were pry making what Cook would fetch on the open market. I agree with everything else you said.
  24. So is 9/11 (almost) but even kids have heard of that date in history. I hope at least.
  25. James Cook is traded for a 5th round pick.
