Okay. Casey Toohill is the #5 DE on the depth chart. Which of those two players would you rather have? For me it's a no brainer.
Cam Lewis has mostly sucked every time he's actually taken the field. For some reason this regime has an attachment to him.
You're probably right that I'm getting too worked up over a depth CB. But isn't that the point of the draft? You take a developmental prospect and coach him up and keep him around if he shows any kind of promise. This team has been devastated by injuries at the CB position the past few years. This is almost certainly Douglas' last year here. It is not a position you can just hand wave away and say eh we'll figure it out. You have to evaluate who is the best talent that you have and keep them around as long as possible, especially on a cost controlled late draft pick rookie contract.
It just blows my mind that McDermott's excuse boils down to "we drafted him to be a punt returner." So for that reason we'll totally ignore what he showed at the position that actually matters and keep Casey Toohill on the roster instead. It is bizarre decision making.
Rasul Douglas is in the last year of his deal
Benford will be in a contract year next year
Elam has one year left on his rookie deal and then the 5th year option
Ingram is a guy they've been developing for a few years and will have to decide if he's worth an actual contract in the next few years
They've done a great job, it seems, in building a strong CB room with good, young depth, but it's a premium position and by all accounts Hardy showed a ton of promise. We're going to need these rookie contract guys more than ever moving forward. So, to me, it just has to be they weren't as high on him as the reports state... or maybe they view returner as a legit starter position with the new rules.
Regardless, keeping a JAG vet DE6 over a promising young CB5 is interesting.. to say the least.
If it helps, Jets fans do think Codrington is a returner stud, but they also say he can't play a lick of defense. So.. (shrug)

I have no idea who is a FA after the season. But if Beane has a chance to sign a top WR he has to do it no matter how this season plays out. This year feels like a reset where the Bills might take a step back. Next offseason the Bills will be able to reload not rebuild for 2025.
I'm not sure I totally understand this line of thinking. Given how teams can backload contracts, if the Bills truly wanted to make a move like this, they could. (at the deadline more likely due to lack of cap space)
We have some bigger contracts (potentially) coming off the books next year & the year after in Milano, Von and Knox. Maybe you shift some money into future years and that means you can't re-sign Spencer Brown.
So, for me, it's kind of a "just because you can, doesn't mean you should" need for restraint to not immediately put yourself up against the cap VS if we plan on making a move like this next year, why waste a year of prime JA.. just do it now and get creative with future cap, knowing you have some bigger contracts you can shed in the next 1-2 years.

Anybody have a good reason as to why we used 1 of our 8 designed to return spots on Darrynton Evans?
Did they not think he'd make it to the PS? Carrying 4 RB's or holding onto him in case someone gets hurt?
-
Jets fans seem to think he's a stud returner but useless as a DB.
Given we have Benford & Douglas backed up by Elam & Ingram, maybe our staff felt we could afford to roster a Return Specialist only.
Still one of the more random roster moves I've seen us do in a while, when coupled with cutting Hardy, who everyone that follows the team had as a roster lock going into yesterday.

They know their voters don’t care and they know they can rely on the media to continue pushing for the indie/moderate vote.
How little they think of those voting for them is a bit hilarious. Throw the pleebs a friendly interview that the Presidential candidate can’t even do by herself. Then they cross that talking point off the list.
“…Don’t worry.. the chuds voting for us will take our slop and be happy.”

I’m fine with our five when it comes to just adding another WR3 type.. but Samuel’s injury history makes me open to this.
Although I tend to agree that the plan now may be to add a higher level WR at some point, should one make sense between now and the trade deadline.
….but we need to stay afloat until then.
Tough decision, unless they actually have justified faith in this room.

I think it’s a pretty big upgrade over last year. Settle and phillips sucked last year. Carter is a fairly high draft pick who was productive in college and Johnson is an experienced 55 game starter.
On paper, the DT room is a major upgrade over last year.Oliver hopefully continuing to ascend
Healthy Daquan Jones
Austin Johnson >>> Settle/Phillips
Dewayne Carter high ceiling

It's looking like we are going 5 WR
I don't really have an issue with 5 WR's.
I do kind of have an issue with 5 WR's, when two of them are currently injured & 1 of those currently injured WR's has a messy injury history.

Didn't really think Shavers was a 53 man player - especially given the presence of Coleman, Hollins and MVS, but it's a reminder of how tough this day is for so many.. thinking back to his interview where he said he viewed Sunday's game as his Super Bowl. Rough business.

Zuck admitting the Biden/Harris Admin pressured him to censor Americans will get about 5 seconds, if that, on the evening news and the people who need to hear this will go on continuing to believe the govt is here to help & our news media tells them the truth.

Post-DNC EchelonInsights Poll shows Trump +1 Nationally.
Trump +1 in the updated PolyMarket Betting Odds.
Jake Tapper posting that his Dem sources have it basically tied in the Blue Wall, with admitting Kamala has lost ground with white men in PA and down by a couple points.
On the flip, I do think she’s live in North Carolina. If NC is winnable for her, then - in theory - so should Georgia, but Trump consistently polls the best there out of all the swing states.

Really strong optics for Trump showing up at Arlington cemetery while Biden & Harris are nowhere to be found today.

Having people listening to scientific numbskulls like Rogan and RFK Jr is the bed liberals made and encouraged. Sorry, not sorry.
Covid brought us shut up and Follow the Science (TM) of whatever your favorite hack liberal journalist or politician told you.
People also won’t address legitimate concerns brought up by RFK about Big Ag & the FDA in relation to childhood sickness and increase in autism/cancers or Pharma & the drugging of this country.So when he’s dismissed as a crazy person over questions many people are now having, they’ll start to say well.. if they attack him over something so obvious as to be questioned, how do I know he’s not correct on his other claims?

When they knowingly facilitate it and refuse to stop.
Well then, there should be zero issue.
Prosecuting someone for knowingly facilitating CSAM because they are knowingly facilitating CSAM and refuse to do anything about it changes nothing in terms of precedent for free speech.
If they make the same attempt against someone who isn’t knowingly facilitating CSAM, then this case won’t serve as useful precedent.
Don’t make me tap the sign-

Xavier Worthy was a buzzy name stock riser due to the combine.
Keon Coleman’s stock dropped due to the combine.
Rashee Rice came on last year and established himself as a reliable #2 to an elite established TE in Kelce.
Khalil Shakir came on late last season and became our best WR, but nobody will view him like Rice until he does it without Diggs.
Hollywood Brown has shown WR1 ability and then bounced around, has dealt with injuries.
Curtis Samuel has shown one really good season a few years.
Theres a reason why people view KC’s WR trio as better than ours. Doesn’t mean it has to be that way, but going into the season, it makes sense to be the consensus view. It’s also a view influenced by the existence of Kelce, while we have Kincaid.. who might be great, we’ll see.

What I wouldn’t give to find a way to close out this summer with Jahan Dotson and Micah Hyde on this roster..

WR sticker shock? Receivers are breaking the bank big time. I'm wondering if any of these mega deals will be worth it in a couple of years. You might see more of a receiver by committee approach around the league soon, or drafting them high and letting them walk after their 4th or 5th year.
We could swing it with our cap situation moving forward, but it means you’re letting Brown & Shakir (at minimum) walk.
Von, Knox & Milano come off the books, potentially, in two years.
Better have a bunch more drafts like we’ve had the past few years though.
Brandon Aiyuk officially requests a trade
in The Stadium Wall
Posted · Edited by SCBills
Not saying it will be us trading for him, but with the Trent Williams news about wanting to get PAID.. I just don't see how the 49ers can also pay Aiyuk. They have so many high level players on that team to go with the upcoming Brock Purdy decision/contract.
