Embarrassing.

She's been like a dog with a bone with trading early picks to move up and draft a wide receiver! 😄

I don't know. I watch it daily and I think there are times when they question some of the Bills moves and are quick to point out their weaknesses. Today's discussion for example...a caller suggested (as she has almost daily for the last two weeks) that the Bills use their early picks in the draft to move up and get that "deep threat wide-receiver that they need." Tasker then in response, pointed out that the Bills offense is not the problem...that they scored the most points in the league, etc. The early picks should be used to bolster the defense...both the d-line and the secondary. They ranked 29th defensively in 3rd down conversion. The defense is in the most need of better players...difference makers, as Chris Brown pointed out. Tasker admitted that WR should be a consideration at some point in the draft, but the Defense demands the most emphasis. I think many on this board would agree with that.

Clarification on the salary cap impact. Because Hoecht's deal was finalized, the Bills will get salary cap relief. Because Ofunjobi hadn't signed, the Bills were able to renegotiate prior to signing. https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2025/3/21/24390996/explaining-buffalo-bills-salary-cap-impact-of-michael-hoecht-larry-ogunjobi-suspensions

Today on One Bills Live, Chris Brown and Steve Tasker said that the Bills don't get any cap relief from the suspensions. The Bills will save the cash, but the full salaries do count against the cap. ☹️

It doesn't matter. The rule is blanket. If it's found in the players system, it's a 6 game suspension. They don't get into how it got there. Period.

In his Bills presser, he said supplements...and he mentioned testosterone.

That's the rule. For an anabolic substance it's 6 games for the first offense. For a stimulant, diuretic or masking agent, it's two games.

I also think these two are embarrassed and will want to prove something to their teammates...that they are solid, stand up players...and will ball out.

He couldn't remember the exact time, but it was right as the contract was being finalized based on all the accounts I've seen.

Apparently he only found out just as the contract was being finalized. His B sample test results aren't even in yet. Per his presser.

It's posted in this thread. Bills will save about $3M total per Cover 1 and Master Strategist's analysis. Google is incorrect.

They both said supplements.

I agree. Listening to the pressers today. These are not bad guys who tried to beat the system. Both acknowledge that it is their responsibility to know what they are putting in their bodies and that they failed in that area. That is why they are not appealing the suspensions and are taking their punishment. Listening to Beane, based on their prior records he had no reason to doubt their sincerity and move forward.

Listen to his presser. Hoecht took responsibility. He's simply explaining that he had always had his supplements tested by a third party and he stopped because he'd never had an issue. Yes, he got the supplements from his trainer, but he said it was his responsibility to continue the separate testing and he got complacent.
