Me too. I love the player and I think his brother his pushing him to do all this. I don't think he would get his BIGGEST possible deal in Buffalo, but I do think they would give him an extension. Now it's looking doubtful, given Beane's consistency in dealing with his own players.

As soon as this stuff starts, it's hard for it to go right.....

Right, and I understand the player's union negotiating for their players. I personally just thinks it puts them in a precarious position since it's not looked upon favorably if a player skips the voluntary workouts.

I've always wondered why the players get this option to be honest, it just blurs the lines. They're making multimillions in a sport where every competitive advantage is meaningful, so there's your answer. They're allowed to miss it technically, but it doesn't show well.

It is actually what he said, the headline is just as dramatic as it can be. That’s the news… haha I credit Beane’s honesty, while not throwing players under the bus, even when he doesn’t like their behavior.

I wouldn't assess the show that way myself. I would describe it as a pro-Bills show - Chris Brown and Steve Tasker are essentially Bills fans commenting on various team-related topics. I personally think the opinions they present are their own, just Bills-positive. I'm okay with that. When you step into main-stream sports media, it's far worse - a bunch of jackasses trying to create controversy....staged arguments or "bold predictions" meant to rile people up. I'd rather listen to Brown and Tasker and have a laugh.

I remember him complaining about it. I think his reasoning was identification purposes when reading defenses.

It does help that we got Christian Benford in the 5th round of the same draft.... If he was our 1st round pick, would we be upset with the outcome? And we get his 5th back to boot. LOL

For anyone complaining - 1. It's a one year deal for probably not that much money 2. He was a starter in this defense all season (meaning they know what they have, and he's a reliable option) That means - if we find a replacement, he's ideal depth. If we don't find a replacement, the spot is at least covered. Plus he's a great guy, not a bad bonus.

I agree with you. I just have suspicions (and they are only that), given on what we are seeing on social media from both Cook brothers. Perhaps the Bills have said "please be patient, we will make you an offer" and he isn't being patient.

Given his social media antics, one could guess him and the Bills aren't on the same page. I do wish for him to get a good and fair deal, but I hate these stupid social media games (unfollowing the Bills, removing his profile pic, etc etc etc). All that kind of behavior does is drive a wedge in the future relationship.

Gotta love all the overreactions. Everybody go to bed, tomorrow will be better. Goodnight!

I can’t get behind these international games simply because of the competitive implications. Playing such a high contact intense sport jet-lagged is bad for the players. I still believe a lot of our injuries during that Jags game were linked to jet lag. Losing a home game is bad for a club. Maybe a game in South America isn’t as bad since the players stay in the same time zone.

My opinion of him has never changed -one of the best coaches in the NFL currently -one of the best coaches in Bills history -the most likely coach to lead us to a Super Bowl He has built a culture of focus, development, consistency, support, and team. That's hard to do in professional sports. He also recognizes his own flaws and shortcomings and works on them. Those are the people you want in charge. With McD & Josh Allen we have a shot at the Super Bowl every year.

Well, given the scenario, I’m sure the lifetime ahead of self-loathing is enough punishment….
