The notebook that fleeced an entire FO... the chiefs should buy the notebook and encase it next to the SB trophies because that pick was an important part of the chiefs dynasty.

Awesome signing if he stays healthy but that's a giant if

A team like Raiders would have given him a modern day watson contract with an insane amount of guarteed money and not think twice.

Massive discount for what he means to this team. He could have held buffalo hostage in a heartbeat and demanded waaaay more. Teams like the raiders that have money would have given thier first born son for josh. Really cool to see a player say they love buffalo and actually back it up with a deal like this.

Agreed, I dont think the vision is to just expect groot to all of a sudden become a 10 sack guy, I think they see the potential in what groot could be if he's the 1A for run defense and 1B for pass rush if the bills get a Hendrickson or a sweat opposite of him. If the vision works out and groot stays the elite run defender he is and starts getting near the 10 sack seasons as a 24 year old this contract will be a home run. But I don't see it happening without help.

I was just telling my friend I think this actually helps the case for a garret or Hendrickson. This gives beane free reign to do what he wants with groots money, and he's only 24 that tells me beane probably has no fear kicking the money down the road opening up things now.

Ya buffalo, kc, and Baltimore seem like absolute last places the Bengals would trade with.

Bills can't afford to take on his injury history

Agreed, I dont blame an nfl RB for trying to capitalize on a good season when nfl rbs rarely last more than a few years in the league. But he's being aggressive with his social media and talking like he's needs to be paid like now. Like chill out just a little, you might catch more flies with some honey with the FO and bills mafia if you talk a little more about team and wanting a bowl mixed in with wanting a new contract. Not just all out standing on business, I dont want to be a cancer but I want 15 mill.

He hasn't come out and said he's holding out for 15. He just pinned the comment, so we will see what he actually wants but I highly doubt any team is paying 15 for a rb that plays half the snaps and is a liability at best in pass pro. And to be honest I hate diva behavior, but being an RB in the NFL is one of the worst positions in the league. He knows on average he has 2-3 more prime years without an injury and his style of running relies on his speed and acceleration. I can't blame the guy trying to take advantage of his best season while in his prime and make some money. I 100% want cook on this team, that being said.. pete carrol loves running the football, and the raiders have no one at rb with too many other holes to fill in the draft... If a pick and cook got us max crosby... Ray Davis all of a sudden doesn't sound too bad.

I think mack, ty Johnson, Gilliam, Ferguson and maybe van demark are back out of that list. It's alot of names, but luckily most of those names are JAGS.

I'd agree with alot of your points but I think we have alot more "good" players than most teams in the nfl. We don't have anyone that's well below average in the nfl. Most teams have at least one guy that is straight up bad and wouldn't start on most teams. I would argue that the chiefs have several starters that wouldn't dress on the bills. But to your point, we have no super stars. And it's looking like beane is incapable of drafting super stars outside of josh (hopefully cook). So for the first time in my life I'll be advocating for the bills to make a blockbuster trade this off-season. A game changing edge rusher like Crosby (if we can make it work financially obviously). I would ship away at least 2 first rounders to get a sure thing in a Crosby or Garrett because with beanes track record, what would we be missing out on? Another Elam, Kincaid, Rousseau? Nah go ahead and take the sure thing like we did with diggs.

I'd strongly disagree with him being a top 5 manager. Is he bad? No. He's a good maybe even a great manager. But he's clearly been out drafted by the chiefs and his own words "you find out who you are when you lose in the playoffs" well for 5 years the world has seen the bills D line/ overall defense not be good enough. And it's arguably gotten worse while throwing draft picks and piles of money at it. He's had great picks, but his early picks have been huge misses, while most of the chiefs recent early picks have been home runs. Simply the production from mcduffie karlaftis creed worthy vs picks like Elam boogie coleman Rousseau Kincaid tells a story.

Agreed I'm not saying I disagree with it when the deal was done. But unfortunately the result couldn't have gone worse.

I wouldn't but i think the beane will. He paid epenesa
