A dime a dozen! I tell ya.

This is an equation with multiple variables, but at least you corrected yourself mid-post. The 2024 Bills ARE paying a top WR. It’s just that he’s playing in Houston. They’re also paying a one legged DE top dollar. There is no one size fits all formula but as a general rule, when you have a top dollar QB, something has to give somewhere.

Yep.....see my post above.

Not sure why this so complicated. Once you have a highly paid franchise quarterback you have to invest your limited resources elsewhere on your roster and expect that the QB will lift up the WR group. The shame is NOT that they had to assemble and entirely new group for 2024. The shame is that Diggs became a nuisance with his attitude! I’m sure the Bills would’ve loved to squeeze another season out of him while the rookie develops.

How bout a dime for ten? 😉

I doubt training camp will sort either of your issues out. There’s virtually no contact in camp anymore and it’s contact that’ll be the defining factor for each.

Never pay a Contractor ‘acceleration’ costs. It’s a fool’s errand.

I assume you realize that your outline is the literal definition of optimists, pessimists, and undecided folks. 😉

Or just a fantasy?

Any of these guys going to retire at halftime?

Maybe but keep in mind they’re a dime a dozen regardless of experience. 😁

My favorite Go Bills moment? Thats an easy one. At our daughter’s wedding I ended my Father of the Bride speech by telling my new, Southern California born and raised son-in-law that the secret to their freshly minted happy marriage was to always remember these four words: “Yes Dear and …Go Bills!”

My dad and I were also at the Atlanta Super Bowl. We were walking around downtown the night before the game and wandered into a party at one of the hotels. That’s when I realized we were standing next to Snoop Dog at the bar. My dad said….”who?”. 😂

I’ll never forget attending the Bills game at Minnesota a few years ago. The Bills blew the Vikings away early….and there was Kirk Cousins still throwing four yard patterns to the bitter end. The Vikings fans sitting all around us had their collective heads buried in their hands.

After years of my Dad scraping together the resources to buy season tickets at the Rockpile and then Rich Stadium, I was able to return the favor by flying him out to Southern California and taking him to the Super Bowl at the Rose Bowl in 1992. We had a blast! Now, he’s 91 and was just diagnosed with advanced prostrate cancer. So…. I’m praying 2024 is finally our year. It has to be, right?

During the drought years I’d scream at the TV that the Bills desperately needed somebody who’d hit somebody on the other team for a change rather than hug them and help them up off the pile. You know…like somebody who’d been arrested for heaven’s sake! Apparently the Chiefs were listening.

Wasn’t there a recent thread that said 24 year olds are a dime a dozen? Or am I confused.

It’s unbelievable that 7 out of the 10 QBs are in the AFC and the remaining NFC threesome includes Murray at AZ being paid some ridiculous amount for some odd reason.

I used to secretly sing that song to my niece and nephew when they’d come for a visit and then my brother would call and scream at me that they’d just sang it in his backseat the entire hour long car ride home. 😂

Now he can afford a shirt with a collar. 👍

Same industry…more recent era. Rock on!

I’m not going to say who we bought our house from.

Reading all of this back and forth debate on the bottom of our WR room causes me to lend some credence to the opinion that receivers may in fact be…..a dime a dozen.

But we have a Top 5 quarterback….no?

So ….what exactly is this tradition that you and your wife have?
