Brian Brohm was never given a fair chance. That said, I may just go with Alex Van Pelt. Reason being, the back ups main job is to help the starter prepare. And Van Pelt, while never a good QB, has spent years in the NFL as a coach and multiple years as an OC. So if I'm choosing someone to be in the QB room with the current iron horse of NFL QBs I'd take the guy most qualified to help a QB game plan. Break down film. That sort of thing.

Failed physical. Maybe some setbacks?

It is a good thing. Absolutely. But am I ready to pay him $15M a season for one year of that? No. Let's see if that was an exception or a baseline before shelling out top dollars is all I'm saying. Not discounting TDs at all. But how many of those were because Cook is elite and how many of those could have been punched in by Johnson/Davis and can be in the future at a much cheaper price is the question. I think having him prove it this season is the smart move. The absolute worst thing that Beane could do here is cave, pay him top end money and see his TDs sharply decline while his fumble and dropping passes problems come back up. Remember, it wasn't that long ago he was riding pine due to these issues. I'd like to think he turned the corner. If he shows it this year, cool. Pay the dude. He had an EXCEPTIONAL season last year. And if he put in the work and solved his past issues along with becoming a TD machine he will have another one this year. And he will get paid.

Many of those TDs came close to the goal line as well. Scores that Allen would typically have run in himself. Cook benefitted to some extent from Allen having a broken hand week 1 and the Bills running down close with Cook to prevent Josh from further injury to his hand IMO. I don't see Cook coming anywhere close to duplicating his TD total from last year

Honestly, It boils down to what Josh wants. If he wants to bring him back he will talk Beane into it as Beane likely doesn't need too much convincing. Brandon LOVES him some Gabe Davis.

It was a massive overpay by Baalke and the Jags to start with. He had a lack of productivity when he did play. Never seemed to get on the same page as Lawrence (sound familiar?) and then had the injury. Then they bring in a new HC/GM that want to clear the bad contract being paid to what would be at best their WR3 with Hunter and Thomas leading the target share. I don't think he did anything wrong other than being overpaid and no longer needed.

He would be likely WR5 in KC. They don't need WR help. Houston and NE addressed the WR position well in the draft. Don't see that. Pittsburgh did just create an opening so that may be. I wouldn't rule out places like Vegas or Atlanta. Miami likes collecting players whose name exceeds their talent too

I called this during the draft. The writing was on the wall with a new HC/GM and making the big move for Hunter. The Bills absolutely loved his work ethic and reportedly wanted him back. He should have a pretty soft market coming off another down year before the injury. All that said....hard pass. Which would likely deflect off Davis's fingers and be intercepted.

Joey Bosa. There is a lot of clowning on the signing here but it is an excellent gamble. Bosa is signed to a 1 year deal. He has this year to show Buffalo (and the rest of the league) that he still can be "that guy". You don't do that in the trainers room. He will play through what would have sidelined him in the past as he's chasing one final big contract. Be it here in Buffalo or someplace else while we end up with a nice comp pick. He's also a fiery and emotional type player that has played the majority of his home games in LA, where almost weekly fans of the opposing team out numbered Charger fans. He is going to thrive here in Buffalo with our fans bringing the noise. Dude is going to be pumped every play. Also, I think they limit his snap count a bit with the rotation, especially after the first 6 games. Just a slight number nothing crazy. He will still see more than half the snaps IMO. But enough to keep him fresh and healthy. I expect a 10-12 sack season from him with games where he is an absolute monster.

I love it when a player I can't stand goes to a team I can't stand.

They doing a Coming to America reboot?

Bishop isn't slow when running in a straight line. He's average. However, it takes him a bit longer to process and react, and it has a noticeable affect on his play speed. He plays much slower than he should. It's almost like he doesn't trust what he's seeing so he doesn't fully commit until it's too late. That may improve with experience. I'm with you here. I thought Hardy looked the part at CB in the preseason. Vastly better than Codrigton did. If he has taken steps at returning kicks/punts he will likely make the 53 and have a jersey on game day IMO. They kept him around for a reason.

I went on a date with a woman that dipped her wings in ketchup. There was no second date. I went on a date with a woman that dipped her wings in ketchup. There was no second date.

That is one scary looking dude. Watching that video I did see some Crosby...but the way he plays with that intensity...kid of reminds me of a younger Joey Bosa too

I don't know if his contact makes it difficult to move on from him this year. Maybe a cap guru can answer that for me. But he did have some streaks of struggle last year and seems to get knicked up more than he has in the past. I liked Hardy last year in the preseason. Added so much more at CB than Codrigton. I think he's who I'm thinking of that played some NCB and didn't look terrible. I think if he can show better judgment returning kicks he could lock down a spot on the 53 and see some real reps at NCB. We say that every year. "So and so won't clear waivers". Yet most times they do. Yearly only a handful of guys get claimed by a new team league wide. Yet, if it's close and there is legitimate worry he wouldn't clear because he showed well in preseason, you keep him, cut Lewis. Cheaper contract and no one is likely to claim Lewis.
