still waiting for your opinion on the theory of trading before 2nd contract. Internet article was awhile ago and I can not find it back. If I find it I will post it so you can move on and give your opinion on it. What does it matter? It is an opinion. Could be anyone's, who cares? One I do not necessarily share. Just putting it out there for those who hate when we bring up the undeniable fact that big QB salaries reduce significantly a teams chances to win Super Bowls. Personally it would be hard for me as a FO exec to trade a franchise guy even with the facts in front of me that this alternate way of treating the QB salary issue may be the way to go. I would probably take my job security and keep the franchise guy and hope against hope I could be the outliers like the Manning's both won Super Bowls when on big contracts. circumstances could make me do it though. I would have traded Rogers already as I don't feel he is a leader and his weird grudges have held the team back. Same with Big Ben and his long list of crap.

To open up a fan of worms. There was an article on qb contract handling that predicted drastic change soon. As some but not all GM's notice that you don't win super bowls and often do not even make playoffs with high qb salary some may do the following. Only keep qb on rookie deal. Then franchise him and work a trade for assets and roll the dice on drafting next franchise qb. Keep him for rookie deal and rinse and repeat. Article assumes many FO's will not do it as winning with say aaron rodgers and keeping job longer and winning, even with no super bowls, is better than getting fired for trading franchise type players in their prime. This allows market to remain viable for trade of qb's at end of rookie deals. Goes on to say it only takes one gm to start this trend. Interesting strategy requiring ballsy FO.

Teams with high QB salaries are far more likely to not win the super bowl. Stats don't lie. This is not hard. Not sure why people argue history.

No there will be a Super Bowl. Just that the highest pd QB teams will not be there. I am sure one team will buck the odds and possibly get there, but odds are clearly stacked against it happening. History backs up our opinion here: https://touchdownwire.usatoday.com/2018/12/30/highest-paid-quarterbacks-arent-making-the-playoffs-rodgers-garoppolo-cousins-ryan/

so your saying there is a chance....just further out in the future......lol instant classic. Thanks for that. I will try next: Ala-mode.....

It is pretty much written he would only come with a new deal. He and others have seen how AB played the Steelers. Jones will not have all the drama of needing a new deal but he will likely get one as terms of a trade. He would be financially not smart, and his agent a very poor talent, to not take advantage of this environment(him being traded) of getting a new deal. Especially considering if he just agrees to go to new team and play next two years on current deal his market value will be severely compromised in two years when he is approaching 33 years old.

Bills FO should bring him in for a look/workout and then take him out to eat.

Yeah, I can't wrap my head around it.

people with money and brains, do not always go Hand in Hand.

Eagles effectively lost their quickness.

Nice post and review. Thanks. fyi: you forgot Quentin Spain......

Also: Bears in Halas Hall in Lake Forest and Cowboys in Frisco. It is over an hour from Soldier Field. Similar time from Cowboys Frisco training to Jerry's Place Stadium. Good think Kroft and Eiffert never talked to each other when on Bengals together for those 4 short years. lol

he was.

and Andre Rison's mansion burned up so quickly.

I believe all GM's are lying when they say they will always draft BPA. No way. If BPA falls and has great value but you are already stacked at that position you then trade back. Then draft player that fills need and is also BPA. If need be trade back again. Doing otherwise is stupid. EX: lets say QB's fell hard in 1st last year and Bills picks at 22 and 23 came up with both Josh's still available and they are ranked BPA left at that time. All the BPA spinners and Beane himself based on his/their very direct comments, then should have drafted Allen and then Rosen back to back. see how stupid this BPA thinking is?

maybe that will cut down on his 30,000 monthly text messages. And prolong his marriage.

Man. Bad week for Johhny. Loses wife then loses a football league for 3rd time. Vince could now market Johhny as the truest Ex-FL player.

I agree Cory was pretty good in comparison to Dar Dar Dinks and Schmidt........however........everyone seems to forget the other Cory, Corey Carter, who looked to have a great chance of beating out Schmidt last training camp until he was injured in preseason.

I 2nd that and 3rd that and what ever the hell else it takes to get behind your good thoughts. Josh brings hope like no other since JK. He actually can take over a game and will the team to victory. He does not care about stats at all. He just cares about winning and that by winning he knows that will keep him on the field. Bills fans all over the world have been waiting for this. Lets hope it continues to show and he continues to develop.

Kiper is an entertainer. I like him. I know many don't. Yes he is wrong in the mock predictions just like anyone else, but you must consider it is a fluid thing and he does multiple mocks as the draft nears. Basing his mocks on information available at time of any mock. That is then all out the window as the draft begins and shapes. Kiper then predicts who will be going on actual events. I like his genuine excitement and his crazy loud speak at the draft. Especially when he disagrees with other commentators and they have a little spat. Funny guy.

who is Clayborn? and what is Claybons wife connection?

lol.....kind of like, paying it "forward"..........so to speak.

I would like to thank all those who contributed to this thread. It helped me learn something. I never knew you could by vote bots to swing twitter polls. Fascinating it is allowed.
