Two comments: First, you sure get a lot of house for your money in Georgia. Second, that definitely doesn’t look like the house of a young adult. I have to wonder if he feels completely out of place in it. As my mother would’ve said whenever she took my brothers and me into a nice store….“keep your hands in your pockets and don’t touch anything!”.

The Bills win a Super Bowl. I couldn’t care less if I’m at the game or just watching on television. Just one before I die! It simply isn’t supposed to be this far fetched….dammit.

I always find it interesting how some folks on here don’t want to pay players yet somehow assume that other teams do. Cook will get what the market suggests at the time. That’ll either be with the Bills or elsewhere, but there’s little chance that Beane will get into a bidding war, much like he didn’t with Edmunds who most would suggest plays a more valuable roster spot.

What’s something worth? What someone is willing to pay for it.

Since according to many on here we’re switching to a ground and pound team this year I’m guessing there’ll be virtually no tread left on his tires by then. 😉

The easiest way to determine which posters really understand this team is to ask them their opinion on Dawson Knox.
Correct:
The Bills paid Dawson Knox $15M ... then they drafted Dalton Kincaid in the 1st round.
Dawson is an "in-line" blocker and Dalton Kincaid is not.
If that's too hard to understand, I'll put it this way. Dalton Kincaid is a big Wide Receiver.
The Bills run more 2 TE sets than any team in the NFL, simply because Dalton Kincaid is considered a Tight End, who usually plays off the line.
Dawson Knox took a pay cut this offseason and is by all accounts going to be here a long time.
Incorrect:
Dawson Knox is not a backup.
Dawson Knox's value is not just catching passes.
Dawson Knox is very, very unlikely to be traded or cut.
I believe you’re missing the point. The criticism isn’t directed at Knox, the player. It’s directed at the Front Office for his contract first, and for his use in the offense second. I hope that helps.

Well, I don't know you, so don't know if you are nuts or not. So I'd say a 50/50 chance of this being the case?
His 2023 stats: 22 catches for 186 yards. Those numbers scream for a dramatic change this year of some kind.
So it does seem a trade is in order, and may happen before the season if the Bills do not plan on using Knox, targeting him as receiver, MUCH more than last year. He was the 9th highest paid tight end in the league, making $13 million, which means he made almost $600, 000 per catch. and about $70, 000 per yard gained. (Honestly, I would agree to do it for a tenth of that amount.)
If not, It is the biggest waste of money on this team, the most glaring waste.
What I am hoping for is dynamic use of both tight ends, as Knox's more physical game, nature, and superior blocking ability, could help to make this a great offense this year. The immensely incompetent dorsey did not know how to use one good tight end effectively so using two?, well was impossible for him. I think Brady making that kind of change so late in the year would have been pretty difficult. We should see soon if he can do so now that the offense is his own--if Knox is still around. Or, just hire me for dramatic savings. I may even accept 5% of Knox's deal!
Well said. I posted the same thing a while back and got flamed for it. I wish you better results.

Your thoughts show empathy towards guys being cut who devoted their lives to football. Being cut from an NFL roster happens every season with such fellows as you describe. I totally understand the sentiment. Which is why those decisions are so difficult.
The truth of it though is the NFL is a business first. They are in the business of winning football games.And a low risk high reward signing of an exceptional athlete does not surprise me.
working your entire life for a goal, and then ends sucks no matter who it is.
root for the laundry. Root for championships. Root for the TEAM. Rooting for guys with questionable character issues from his past meh not so much.
I’m not actually referring to those that have been cut. I’m referring to those players that never got a chance to compete. There are literally hundreds and hundreds of college football players that don’t get drafted. They all put in the time.

If at all possible, buy your house! It’s literally the distinction between a cost and an investment. Hard to believe this is even a discussion.

Going solely by seat revenue, the NFL has missed their opportunity. In 1950, Maracana stadium in Rio had a capacity of 200,000 - 210,000 attendees (now it is a measly 73,000). According to Wikipedia, the current stadia with the largest capacity are Narendra Modi Stadium in India (135,000; used for cricket) and ...
... Rungrado 1st of May Stadium in Pyongyang, North Korea (114,000; mainly used for soccer). A Superbowl in North Korea, the ultimate irony.
So I guess we’re going to India then! Wonderful

Nobody ‘normal’? Interesting way to put it.

Yea they'd sell out even at SB prices. And there are plenty of suites at Wembley that wouldn't be an issue.
I agree the Superbowl in London is not going to happen. But it isn't because they'd struggle to sell tickets. I promise you that would not be an issue.
The real question is whether the teams would get there just 48 hours before kickoff. 😂

I’m a Data Analyst/Scientist. I’m also currently unemployed since late Jan after my company got bought and they laid everyone off, and have been passed over by 4-5 after getting through like 4 interviews each time, so I have empathy for that dude who’s camp spot gotten taken away, but not resentful either of the people who got picked ahead of me, as ultimately people in power gotta trust their own evaluations
I wish you nothing but the best of luck in your job search! 👍

Except this is a high level athlete with a background in a correlate skill, as there is some crossover in skillset with wrestling and O/D Line technique. We're not going out and signing a pole vaulter.
A pole vaulter….now THAT would be fascinating! 😂

This situation happens every day to all sorts of people in all sorts of professions.
Maybe it's not fair but it is the way it is. You can work hard at something all your life and your peak might not be as good as someone who just picked it up.
I played a club sport at a high level after college and convinced my brother in law to try out for the team I was on. Not only did he make it, he ended up higher on the roster than me because of his excellent athletic skill, despite me playing the game for 10+ years. I wasn't salty though, it's just the reality of the situation.
That of course can happen as well….but generally not at the NFL level. Just the other day we were discussing who the Bills should sign with their remaining few million dollars. I don’t recall anyone suggesting they should go look across the street to see if any of the new stadium steel riggers had potential, because after all they lift heavy stuff every day. 😉

I mean, we know who McDermott is lol. All these guys work hard though, including this guy.
I have no idea what you do for a living but I’m dying to hear if you’d have the same reaction if after getting your accounting degree you found out your potential employer passed you over for that internship because they decided to roll the dice on a guy who they heard was good at math.

what exactly is the risk here? Are you worried about player #90 on the camp roster?
Worried…no. I just think it’s sad for another young man and his family who put hours of work in for many years. There are a very finite number of spots available.

Not for nothing
Watch Micah Parsons get made to look a fool by PSU wrestlers. I mean I get it - wrestlers are just different. I dunno how this turns out, but this dude is gonna make some folks look silly in some of the workouts and maybe even the field
And football is wrestling? Oh wait a minute….no it isn’t.

Is it though? If they are willing to send him home now, he wasn't making the roster anyway. At least now, he has a shot (whoever gets released) to try and latch on to a different roster, maybe one easier to make than a perennial SB contender too.
Sure! You’re not going to get a try out son…..but stick by the phone…and let your parents know there’s a really good chance this novelty wrestler will flame out.

and millions of people on non EST have watched early games on most Sundays, yes?
Are we really having this discussion? You think the NFL is going to hold a Super Bowl where the entire west coast will have to get up at 6:00am just to see the kickoff? Really? 🙄
Final WRs on Roster
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
Thanks for simple list! What stands out to me is how the WR room will be filled with only two guys we drafted (one who’s yet to play a snap) and then a bunch of guys we found in the union hall.
