Too bad Denver gave up on Siemian who was developing nicely under Rick Dennison of all coaches prior to last season when he left and joined the Bills. Won't be surprised if they are reunited with the Jets depending on what happens with Cousins.

Be serious, my inbox has been overwhelmed lately but I certainly don't remember any PM's with you. Also my source was via text message on my phone (my guy deep in TX who reported the Gaine hiring and more recent info I shared).

He's probably finished unless he's willing to sign with a team on the cheap with no guarantees of making the final roster this summer.

Pretty sad that some fans really believed than an NFL player would invite random people into his home, Bills fans or not. Sure a lot of these guys love Bills mafia when they are in the stadiums but probably could care less about them outside of 'work'.

I trust my sources and there is ZERO chance TT will be in a Bills uniform come September.

If rumors are true the Browns offered a 2nd rounder for Alex Smith then my god is that franchise still screwed. I figured John Dorsey would be interested but a 2nd rounder for a 34 year QB that was ran out of KC because some still think he's just a backup caliber guy?

I already reported on this, but the Jets and Broncos are the front runners for the Cousins sweepstakes and at least from what I've heard the Jets are willing to back up the Brinks truck big time. If Denver does land him though it will be interesting to see what happens in the draft since they were rumored to be targeting one of the top guys (Rosen/Darnold).

According to my well placed source and the info I've already shared, Bills have already begun the process of trying to trade him and hoping to get as high as 4th rounder for him. If not he'll be cut. But based on the chatter I'm hearing, I even the most die hard TT fans are going to be in for a rude awakening when they realize there isn't going to be much demand or market for him for reasons most of us already know. But hopefully a desperate team steps up and makes a move for him. What might complicate things though is TT refusing to take lesser money to facilitate a trade in the first place.

I still don't believe Beane/McD thought they were a playoff team last year, but because they did sneak in it obviously changes things so if they end up truly being terrible in 2018 because of having a young roster it won't look as bad because of last season when everybody also thought they were a 3 or 4 win type of team. So this would be the main reason for them to truly burn it down in 2018 (and yes go with NP as the starter) if they don't care where they finish and then expect a major step forward in 2019 with a bunch of 2nd year players and possibly a top 5 draft pick to land a QB. We'll see what happens but all fans should temper their expectations that this team is primed to make a big slash in the offseason and be a SB contender this season.

Just my opinion but I think they'll want some veteran leadership on the line with Wood gone and to help Groy/rookie center but they still might ask him to restructure his deal which could prompt him release if he says no.

Taylor and Glenn aren't going to be on the 2018 roster, it's just a question of how and when they are cut/traded and that will help the salary cap situation immensely. I was leaning to Incognito being cut but I think now that the racial slur allegations are cleared up and Wood leaving he'll be definitely be back. The only other wildcards are Hughes and McCoy but I think both will be back unless this team truly plans on gutting the roster and 2018 is the true 'tank' season. But anything is certainly possible especially since this regime made the playoffs last year and don't have that pressure on their backs going forward.

This was a pretty stupid move by Washington. It's not that Smith is a bad QB because he's not, but for what they gave up and what they will be paying him you really have to question why they wouldn't make a better attempt to keep their own franchise QB who isn't light years ahead of Smith anyway talent wise. Also wondering if this helps with Taylor's trade value assuming there is a team out there that truly wants him as a potential starter. If so perhaps we can get more than a 6th or 7th rounder but guessing he'd also have to negotiate a new contract as part of any trade.

Jet's plan on 'going hard' after Cousins from what I'm hearing. And I think the other major team in the derby with be the Broncos with St. Doug and the Jags being the sleeper team in the mix.

No and thankfully Beane and McD are smart enough to understand that you can't judge a 5th round rookie, or any rookie, based on one bad outing especially since it came against a top defense and one of the best DB's in the NFL on the road. Also NP acquitted himself well in the Colts game (that we don't win without him starting) and other mop up duty. I think what was truly impressive is how he played against the Jags playoff game given the circumstances. The future is very bright for NP and I've heard he's already hitting the offseason workout regime hard and looking forward to competing for the starting job next year. Expect big things from him this summer.

AW was a talented player but unfortunately had too many injury issues so this is probably the smart move to give up an hope of a return to the NFL. Also remember, he was hoping to sign with the Bills again or St Doug and the Jags midseason per my source in Houston: Aaron Williams: Tanned, Rested and Ready

In terms of overall body of work I think Smith is the better option. But in terms of where I think each one would fit into the Bills plans this year I'd go with Bradford since he'd be more comfortable playing the backup/veteran mentor role to Peterman.

The only right move he made last year was benching TT for NP. However then he made another stupid move by not keeping NP as the starter the rest of the season and going back to TT.

The jury is still out on McD and I really don't care if he go lucky with the Bills backing into the playoffs because of a hail mary from Andy Dalton. And it's very telling that he's making all these sudden coaching changes. Obviously trying to surround himself with spineless jellyfish that won't question 'the process'.

Hayward is a beast. Former teammate of Micah Hyde in Green Bay who has developed nicely through the years and truly blossoming with the Chargers. But luckily we have our own in Tre White. Will be interesting to see if Gaines is back or who is paired up with him in 2018.

From what I've heard about McD, he's easily intimidated by other defensive minds that challenge him and advise on other ways of doing things. So this is probably why he's dumping all the good position coaches and replacing them with yes men types. Either way nobody can defend this clown for dumping Byrd considering the success this secondary had last year especially with Poyer and Hyde having career seasons under him.

I've also heard similar chatter, but my long island source who is entrenched in all things Jets and Giants say there is no way either of those teams pass on Rosen, Darnold, etc depending on whose available. And even though the Giants apparently plan on bringing Eli Manning back next year they would still want his replacement locked down. Barkley is no doubt a special talent but I still have serious reservations about taking a RB in the top 5, or even first round for that matter nowadays.

PFF has White #3 overall in their coverage rankings. Casey Hayward is #1 (the guy who had 2 INT's against Peterman in the Chargers game which makes that performance not look so bad in hindsight).

It was a great hire by a division rival which made adversely effect the Bills. Wouldn't be surprised if we tried to get Oden but Tannenbaum and Gase beat us to the punch. Either way it still make zero sense this team jettinsoned Gil Byrd considering Hyde and Poyer had career years. You can also argue he's directly responsible for White's accelerated development as a rookie.

Smith is going to be 34 in a couple of months. And even though most of the bigger name franchise QB's are still playing at a high level well into their mid/late 30's, not sure any team would be willing to give up much in a trade for Smith. I'm thinking a 4th rounder is best case. But as for the Bills I still think that they are better off rolling with Peterman that trying to land Alex Smith or another bigger name type of veteran. We still need some sort of capable journeyman to back NP up but doubt Smith would want that since he can probably start on another next year.

A couple of things: 1) Selling Football in the city of Buffalo is like selling liquor to an alcoholic. In other words it's not a hard job and many lesser marketing types would have had the same success here the last 17 years. 2) Despite what the fans and media are told, Russ Brandon still has his fingers all over this franchise (and the Sabres now too). I know this from a trusted source and it's not earth shattering anyway considering the Wilson's essentially gave him a share of the franchise and made him a 'managing partner' before the team was sold. And it's very possible the Pegulas bought the team with some sort of similar arrangement made because they aren't that bright when it comes to owning pro sports franchises.
