How much will Ridley get?

I fully agree with that, but I'm puzzled by your reply. I thought I was commenting on a list of NFC QBs better than Mayfield. The other guys listed also make more than $50 million guaranteed. ????

Could have gotten a much better player for that money imo. Another 'let's stick with the below average guy we know' instead of getting better. Too many of these middling contracts go to below average players and it adds up to less money for elite talent....this is not in any way a win for the Bills. Why they needed to lock him up before free agency starts is beyond my understanding. Mark my words, much better safeties will play next season for equal or less money.

He was terrible last year........let's pay him starter money and consider one safety position filled? Wtf

I'd definitely take Goff over Mayfield...Cousins too if he ends up back in the NFC

Homer Simpson

Regardless of why he did it, I'm glad they got that done.......I hated the contract when he signed it, I thought it was a big mistake, but that's history. Going into next season would you rather use up $20+ million in cap for absolutely nothing at all or find out if he can still play for $9 mil.? Von could have made more cash than that getting cut. 🤔 I don't see how this is not a win for the Bills.

To those saying Beane had leverage in demanding a pay cut, I'm pretty sure Von was guaranteed $10.9 million dollars this coming season. He could have collected that money for doing absolutely nothing if the Bills had released him. He could have just trained and waited for a contender to sign him in the latter part of the season. 10.9 million plus whatever else he could get for playing part of a season, no mini camps, training camps, etc. He didn't have to do this, he had lots of options; one of them being collect $10.9 million for staying home and doing nothing. I don't have high expectations but I also won't be surprised if he can come back and be effective as a pass rush specialist this season. I'd rather the Bills get to find out as opposed to just eating $20+ million in dead cap.

Just not real confident he will be a good starting center. If that's their plan, I hope I'm wrong.

Von taking a pay cut and loading his contract with incentives instead of guaranteed money is an incredible development. He was already guaranteed the money and didn't have to take a pay cut. The fact that he did and loaded his contract with incentives instead tells me that he plans on being really good again.

I don't think McGovern was very good at guard. I hope they are not already determined to make him the starting center, he may not be good enough. Obviously there is a lot of time, draft, free agency, etc. until next season, hoping they have a plan where McGovern is a backup.

I forgot he was even on the staff. His cousin Dave Shula (not his coach brother Dave) was a good friend and housemate for a couple years in Park City UT in the mid 80s. Great guy I've lost track of over the years....

The only liqueur with a color named after it. Made by Carthusian monks in Chartreuse mtns. France. Originally created as a longevity tonic it is an extract formula of 130 alpine herbs, first made in the 17th century (1605). The formula has remained a well guarded secret for centuries. I used to keep a bottle around for a night cap.

On PFF, Morse was rated 20th out of 36 qualified centers last season and has been slipping every season. He is near the end of his career and needs to be replaced soon. I know that many think PFF is garbage and I take their ratings with some skepticism myself; but on the other hand all 32 NFL teams (including the Bills) pay for their professional services.

Sure, it's complex with a lot of moving parts, but no one is expected to get everything right. There are 31 other guys with the same complex job and you're trying to be better than them. Spending too much draft and cap capital on the dline with limited success; and taking too long to get a decent offensive line, while needing another top wr, have been his biggest shortcomings imo. Whether that's on him, McD or both?

3 pts regulation win 2 pts OT or shootout (SO) win 1 pt to OT or SO loser It makes sense on so many levels. Each game having the same total points awarded being chief among them. Beyond that it fixes the incentive teams have in the late 3rd of a tie game. Would fans rather watch teams battle for a 3 point win or try to hang on for a guaranteed point? Teams should be incentivized to play for the 3 pt. win in regulation. Not to play for the guaranteed pt. of a tie. This is a huge mistake by the NHL that should be fixed after this season. If they don't like the 3 point win they should do away with the 1 pt. ties altogether. Using the shootout there are no more ties anyway.

I'm not hell bent on them taking a particular guy or position in the first, but trading up for another crack at drafting a good de is just a terrible idea imo. How much draft and cap capital has he spent the last 4 seasons on this one position with what results? From the very start I said to build a great offensive line and give Allen elite weapons. Outscoring everyone should be the goal, not trying to stop a particular individual or team. Also, no matter how good the defense is they aren't used properly in critical moments anyway. It doesn't matter how many great players you have when you line up 8 yards back on 3rd and 3.

Wouldn't surprise me if he starts and plays well in Chicago, I thought he was pretty good when given the chance for the Bills.

The next night in Buffalo 5/9/77 was my first Dead show, and still one of my favorites (out of hundreds). I was not quite 16... They were on fire 🫠 https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://archive.org/details/gd77-05-09.sbd.connor.8304.sbeok.shnf&ved=2ahUKEwiYqarbkdqEAxWgFTQIHfjcBngQFnoECBYQAQ&usg=AOvVaw2Llq5l4bZHoddEo-I4hnoj

I was just telling the wife this is like deja vu all over again.... I'm enjoying the games and hoping to see a memorable end of the season run. Keep fighting, keep winning, got to break through one these years Goallll on cue😄

Goalllllll Beautiful move and shot by Girgensons

I have seen a few of his games. Once again, I am not advocating for or against, I am merely pointing out that for a guy who, as you say, is a threat to score on every play......he only scored 5 tds on 75 catches last season. Stats never tell the whole story, but watching more of his tape won't change those numbers... They are in the books, people can make of it whatever they like.

His speed makes him a threat on every play... but the reality is he scored only 5tds on 75 rec this past season. Franklin for example scored 14 times on 81 catches. Straight line speed doesn't necessarily convey or take the place of great route running, deceptive breaks, elusive moves in space, etc.

I'm not advocating for or against, but I would think that running a 4.34 40 at 205lbs would qualify as an elite trait...
