Report that Shorter makes the team. Only chance for the other WRs is if Shakir is going to IR for 4 games.

The thing is Beane is biting the bullet to keep the best players on the team. Boogie was not one of them. Miller, Floyd, Rousseau, Epenesa and Lawson are all better. Heck, I think Jonathan Kingsley is better than Boogie. How many DE's do they need? Someone had to go, and I think the worse one was traded.

You take your medicine with a bad pick and move forward. Beane and his scouts know the blew that pick. Hope they learned their lesson. Looking back is worthless IMO.

If he clears waivers his original rookie contract is dropped and he becomes an UFA.

To keep that thread clean I'll comment here. I'm wondering if Dean Marlowe makes it to the PS. The RB PS spot is a tough choice. I can make an argument for Evans and Johnson.

I have always believed that in pass protection the advantage is to the guy making the moves to get around another guy. It's always been that way. In run blocking the OL has a bit of an advantage knowing what their job is going forward. The passing game has enough advantage as it is IMO. It's just the way it is.

That's what I told your mother last night Trebeck.

I realize that but why trade for this guy in the first place? The Bills will be cutting WRs better than this guy.

For anyone wanting to track. I'm using Spotrac but it's always a little slower than the X world. If anyone hears of trades today it be great to have the posted here. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/transactions/trade/ How did the Chiefs get a 2025 7th rounder from Carolina for WR Ihmir Smith-Marsette? LOL. Miami trades G Dan Feeney to the Bears for a 6th is interesting. Player swap RB Pierre Strong NE for CLE T Tyrone Wheatley Jr. I had to look up Strong's numbers. I remember his Monday night game against the Cardinals where he was great. Seems that is all he did last year.

I don't think Terry Pegula is giving up control of the Sabres and this whole PSE thing is going to amount to nothing. IMO. I will say your thought about the Buffalo AHL team being attached to the Toronto Maple Leafs made me shudder. LOL.

At this time of year Beane is always working the phones. I bet Sal doesn't know more than that.

Wentz will want to wait to get paid more than vet minimum or slightly more. I personally don't like his playstyle. I want a younger guy on the PS. Beane just can't afford a top-level backup.

Could also showcase the DE they ultimately have to let go. It would be great to see the other guys play great and a trade for a Day 3 pick when Von does return. It also is insurance if one of them get dinged and has to be out for a while and all of a sudden Von is ready.

PSE was an overseeing holding company. I imagine under it's "dissolving" all the other entities are separated. I'm sure Terry has been involved with all the details and that's probably why he wasn't in WNY for the RJ ceremony. All this no doubt was in the works before RJ passed away. Same questions can be asked (and eventually answered) about the Amerks, Bandits and all the other subsidiaries. This is corporate stuff and will take time for all the info to come out.

I don't say this much as a Beane supporter, but Brandon needs to bring him to OBD in the next 48 hours. He's a vet and can sign anywhere at any time.

He was crying and blowing snot bubbles.

I'm disappointed in Kyles play so far BUT I keep him over Barkley. I'm rewatching the Bears game and as I read your post Kyle hit Atemon for 20 yarder down the middle. It was a strong throw. Keep Kyle as the #2 but bring in competition for him on the PS.

The money isn't much different. Costs almost $200k more to cut Allen. I would hate to wager which is better, Barkley is pushing 33 years old and has a weak arm. ONE of them has to go, my personal preference is Barkley (to start).

Spector costs more to IR than to cut ($25k). He'd pass through waivers with his total of 6 career tackles right to the PS if they wanted him there.

Kirksey is definitely interesting. A 1-year contract (with a void year) might be the ticket.

Terry bought the Sabres for $189M and it's worth over $600M. He has also had possible net yearly revenues with maybe the exception of Covid years. Team is on the rise again and fans will go back to their seats. He is not losing money owning the Sabres.

Key Bank lease expires in 2025. Pegula has time to get things together plus I bet the county would add years if needed. I guess a question to ask is, is Key Bank viable to staying open without the Sabres and possibly without the Bandits?

I would say that is part of it. The other is time management with Kim being in her challenges. IMO, Terry would give up all the other entities that were under PSE before giving up the Bills and Sabres, and there are a bunch of them.

Terry is not giving up the Sabres. The Bills and Sabres are going to go on their own which is probably a good thing. I would think that all the other organizations that were within PSE are the ones that may have changes in them. With the Kim situation, breaking away from "country music" and some other media stuff may keep Terry just focused on Bills and Sabres.
