I said lower tier #1 (I'd put him in the top 15 to 20 range). He's excellent at using his size to win contested balls (like he did against White). His route running has improved but his ability to separate remains a weakness. Jones is going to have to trust that he wins a lot of 50/50 balls like Stafford did.

It's definitely not a steal given his hamstring issues (16 games missed in 4 season) and he's more of a lower tier #1 WR. I think it's a fair contract.

I wonder if they shop Engram now. Not sure what their exact cap figure is.

The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19
Doc Brown replied to Hedge's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
It's called venting. We're all a little frustrated that our way of life has been impacted (although this mask thing/social distancing has really improved my overall health this winter). I do feel bad for the small business owners and high school seniors most of all. However, it's important to keep it in perspective. My uncle is 92 years old and said he'd trade this year for any year during the Great Depression and WWII. This virus spares the young and medical advancements have made it possible to have vaccines ready at record pace. To quote Jurrassic Park, "It could've been worse John. A lost worse." -
Probably this. The drought was rough.

There has to be a good nickname for these two. Anybody? The Bash Brothers. Something like that.

I'd add starting RT, LB, and RG to that list. Now we just need CB2 and feel free to draft BPA.

Boring.

What Team Do FA's Not Want to Go To ?
Doc Brown replied to T master's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Any rust belt city is probably going to be less desirable unless you field a consistent winning product. Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit, and Cincinnati could pry rotate the last 30 years as the least desirable FA destination. -
I absolutely HATE our team’s focus on Special Teams
Doc Brown replied to FireChans's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
A weird thing to be mad at as a lot of teams carry three RB's with the 3rd strength guy being a Special Teams Ace. I was more ticked off when we carried two kickers because Carpenter couldn't kick the ball far enough. BTW....what unit was on the field when the two most heartbreaking plays in Bills history occurred? -
I chuckled.....

Wants that Diggs nameplate change.

We're not running a charity. LOL. He's a clear upgrade at backup though.
-
Too good of a team not to have a capable backup given Allen's playing style.
-
$11 million guaranteed is a lot for a 1B (at best) RB coming off a down year.

This is somewhere in between JJ Watt and Greg Olsen in terms of anticipation and quality of veteran coveted. -
At the end of the day it's still a hard cap even though there's many ways to manipulate it as the Saints are proving. The trick seems to me is to obviously find your franchise quarterback and instill a solid culture and environment where players want to be there. Then you can sign your own free agents at discounts, ask veterans to pay cuts/contract restructures, attract free agents that may value winning if it means taking a tad less money, and in your case (and hopefully ours) sign a QB that still gets his but is willing to take a little less to keep as much of the team together in order to continue to compete for a Super Bowl every year. The Seahawks, Packers, and Steelers haven't made a Super Bowl since their QB's got paid handsomely despite remaining elite at that position. Even in those circumstances you still have to draft well and develop. The Patriots stopped doing that a couple years before Brady left them because he didn't have any weapons even though they were paying Brady illegally under the table in order for him to take a lower salary. You also have to maximize the parts of the organization that isn't restricted by cap space. Everything from paying premium coaches, GM's, coordinators, and assistant coaches decent salaries to building and maintaining state of the art facilities.

Why not offer him a billion? He pry wouldn't have turned it down.
-
There was another Bills WR that came over here in his mid 30's that helped take this team to the Super Bowl with a late career resurgence. Can Sanders wear number 80 since 17 is taken up?
-
The Jets making two AFC Championship games with Sanchez comes to mind.
