Cook is a very talented player. Not debating that at all. But putting him into the same sentence as CMC is laughable. Cook has all the skill to be a productive, useful and popular player. But he's someone that's destined to fall back into a committee backfield unless he can clean up: -Drops -Fumbles -And just as important: Pass Protection There are going to be several guys that could be an inexpensive #2 RB that would make sense for the Bills to sign. Possible FAs this year include familiar faces (Zach Moss and Motor) as well as guys that have past success against the Bills (CEH: who also has spent time with Joe Brady). Wouldn't shock me if one of them are back to take some responsibility off Cook. I definitely think Cook has a prominent role on the offense, but seems like he's a guy that may be able to be more explosive with fewer touches (similar to the Dolphins Achane)

They haven't and I feel like if they were going to it would have been done by now

Welcome Coach Addae. Let me be the first to say "Fire Addae"

That looks like our new QB Coach/ OC in waiting. Seems to be successful. Can't wait for the "Fire Brady make Curry OC" posts after preseason game 2.

I actually think it makes sense to do both. Grab a guy like Mooney that can contribute early in the season and let the rookie figure it out. Even a guy like Rice for KC took a while this season to catch on. From my perspective, the NFL these days is about mismatches. IMO this is why so many teams with good TEs made it deep in the playoffs this year. Kelce, LaPorta, Kittle and Andrews/Likely are all top notch. I think drafting Kincaid last year softens the need (just a tad) for us to need a rookie to step in and produce right away. IMO whoever lines up at the WR2 spot should be the third option behind Diggs and Kincaid anyway. But do agree, we need something more than what we have had there and someone that can step in when Stefon is taken out of a game.

Very solid thoughts and ideas, but again it boils down to "we don't know what we don't know" Right now, yes looks like a meager FA with the cap space. But when it's all said and done they will make moves and open money for who they want. As you say this draft is deep at WR, which is why I'm ok if they wait until round 2 to fill that spot with someone that fits well. I think we see them sign someone like Darnell Mooney. Not top level, but a guy that has had 1,000 hard season before and has had some issues since. Could be a bargain. And (not that they are players I advocate for) I still can't shake the feeling that guys like Donovan Peoples-Jones and Devin Duvernay will be on their radar as well. As far as moves they can make that would change our draft needs, there's still room for that as well especially with the round 4-7 picks.

Dugger is the guy I've been screaming for so far this off season. That said, he may end up out of our price range. Spotrac has his market valued at $16.5M a year on a 4 year $66M contract. I personally don't think he hits that, but I'd love for him to be here if it doesn't. Some other names at Safety: Geno Stone Kameron Curl Jordan Whitehead Most realistic IMO: Taylor Rapp being back

Articles like this are soooooo phoney. Passes off and presented as factual, however it's all speculation. Key statements: -"that supposedly Arthur Blank was bought in to Bill Belichick and could have offered him the job,” -“I don’t know why guys say no, but legitimately an NFL executive basically told me that they believe that Arthur Blank offered Bill the job. Now there may have been some caveats to that offer" - "The way it was made and sounded to me was like ‘OK, I understand your concerns, but you’re gonna have to deal with some of this and we want you to come in, we want you to be the coach,’ and then maybe he just thought better of it,” Esiason said.

Nothing in this list is drastically wrong. But a bit early to project it IMO. Let's see what the roster looks like after FA. List will certainly be addressed there in parts as well.

Meanwhile, in Buffalo, Sean McDermott is scouring all kickers for one with a wrestling background.

My opinions on Brady (and Belichick for that matter) changed a while back. Used to really dislike them both, but really looking back at it, I'm more pissed off that they had the division uncontested for almost 2 decades. I'm more upset at the Bills for failing to build anything competitive over that time frame and hiring guys like Chan, Dick Jauron and Marrone. Drafting guys like JP and EJ.

Honestly, compared to the rest of his family the wife may be a gem. She's just more annoying then criminal. That we are aware of, anyway 😂

Key words there are "appears to be". Not for nothing, but his family is trash. The whole lot of em. Very rare for trash to raise treasure. Right now Mahomes Jr. has about $500 Million reasons to walk the line. I'm sure he has a top of the line public relations team.

Listened to the presser. A couple take a ways... - Unsurprisingly, didn't say much about what happened in Buffalo. Just left it a the coach decided to make a change and he's turned the page. - He and Stefanski are "working through who calls the plays still" but Dorsey says winning is more important to him than who calls plays. - Says he's excited to get Watson to bounce back to a top level QB in the league. Refers to him as a "fine person".

Maybe we can get William Fichtner or Christine Baranski to cover some old school Metallica.

I agree. Maybe we should switch it to Sweet Caroline.

I don't watch a lot of college ball so I am not familiar with either name. I usually wait until around this time of year to start looking at guys. Watch the combine and any televised pro days. I find for myself not watching college allows me to see prospects with a bit more neutral eye rather than base my opinion off what they did at that level. But I'll definitely be marking those names down as ones to check out. Thanks for the suggestions.

I can't understand what the infatuation is with Ty Johnson. He's just a guy. 4.4 ypc. A whopping 132 rushing yards on the season...of which 54 came against the Cowboys in a game they refused to stop the run. Granted he's probably able to be resigned on the cheap. But he's mediocre. He does nothing to move the needle on offense. I look at it like this. If we were facing a team that had Ty Johnson starting or seeing significant snaps...are we nervous? No. Sign him cheap, let him compete for the RB 4 role? I'm down. Bringing him back as RB 2 would be a huge mistake. RB is a sneaky need for this team in FA and the draft. SPOTRAC has Henry's market value at $4.3M. If he could be had at that price I'm kicking the tires. 2 other guys I'm looking at are A.J. Dillion and Zach Moss...both with market values in the same neighborhood. Clyde Edwards-Helaire could also be a sneaky option. His market value is listed at a mere $1.6M. Joe Brady was on the LSU staff with him. And Brandon Beane has a history of grabbing players that perform well against the Bills. CEH dominated the Bills for 161 yards in the COVID year game in Orchard Park as well as having 2 key runs in the playoffs this year. I think he may be the Damien Harris replacement.

So far this off season we have seen Diggs is unhappy speculation and Josh's romantic endeavors speculated. I saw this show last year.

Carl Weathers may be gone. But his voice shall live on everytime I read a post from @HappyDays. I'm certain I'm not the only one that reads his posts in the voice of Chubbs.

I'm well aware of Brady's history. At some point most hires are "outside" hires. As you said, he had 2 years in Buffalo. Makes it an internal hire. And again, nothing wrong with hiring internally. Especially when the program has been successful. You fill the pipeline from outside, teach them your ways, promote and refill the pipeline. It's understandable. My only contention is that they don't seem to take advantage of the opening to interview anyone other than the 2 mandatory minority candidates. Good chance to network and get a feel for some of the young up and commers in person. It's a missed opportunity IMO.

I hope he holds out for a FULLY guaranteed contract. All jokes aside, he's a good kid and hope he gets paid. From a team standpoint they should offer him Daniel Jones money and hope he bites.

So was Frazier hired as a HC? No? Well, there's the answer. Great hire by the Seahawks. Getting a sound voice in the room with HC experience is a huge "get" for a rookie HC. Leslie is well liked and well respected by players. And contrary to how he's portrayed here he in an excellent coach, especially in gameplan ing and teaching.

Very well could. The Bills do have a few guys that they could give the job to on staff, though. - Marc Lubick Asst. WR Coach. Spent 2017 as Buffalo's assistant QB coach. - Kyle Shurmur. Started working with defense last year. Switched to offense QC this year. Former QB. Maybe he's the Assistant QB coach next year? -DJ Mangas. None of them would shock me at all, either. My guess may be Mangas QB coach, Shurmur assistant QB coach.

I absolutely agree with your other points. It can certainly be an unnecessary risk. And I'm sure where it comes to timelines and if Brady/Babich were offered a position on another team McDermott would know better than us. Making the divisional round means we are at minimum 2 weeks behind replacing a coordinator as some teams were able to start on Black Monday.
