ColoradoBills

This board is getting pretty sour about anything Bills related, not just Josh. I got to admit it's getting harder to come on here and unfortunately, I think it's only going to get worse.

It's nice to hear good news!

Come on, I'm comparing an avid Buffalo sports fan (both hockey and football) and all the times we have watched the Pegula's interact with the community and all of the interviews and press conference compared to a couple of national football guys. I disagree with your assumption these 2 guys know him better than the Buffalo community. As to the "public persona", I don't think every time Terry has tears in his eyes it's an act.

Once again, I agree. The trajectory of both the owners and players compensation needs to level out. If it doesn't, what you say is correct.

I am of the opinion that the only reason of this "speculation" is Kim's health. I would like to mention that these guys don't know Terry Pegula the way Bills fans do. Terry is an emotional guy. He would NEVER sell the Bills while Kim was alive. I would go so far as to say he wouldn't even if "god forbid" the worse happened. He would honor her memory. Terry may not work the day to day, but he would hire someone to do it if it was too painful for him. I firmly believe this.

Bills have a new WR coach.

That is a distinct possibility. I don't think Josh will be one of them.

If the Jalen Hurts contract doesn't make Lamar move a bit in his "demands", he is a fool. He is missing out on building a financial foundation that will cost him millions in the long run. Josh Allen will be a much richer man in all likelihood, in the end.

First, you posted that Josh would want to "redo" his contract in 2 years. He is in the 1st year of his 6-year contract in 2023. If all goes well Josh will be "extending" his contract most likely in spring of 2027. BUT, when he does it will not negate the contract he is already signed for. I would guess with the way things are going his extension will be in the high 60's range. IF Josh Allen is moaning and groaning for more money in 2 years, it will most likely mean he would want out of Buffalo. I don't see that happening.

Diggs, Davis, Shakir, Harty and Sherfield are all most likely locks. Unless they go with 7 WRs, drafting 2 is unlikely. General WR comments: I can't see a "slot only" WR drafted (especially higher rounds). Just doesn't make sense with Harty and Shakir penciled in for that. Add that Diggs lines up in the slot a decent amount of the time and Sherfield able to do that, it just seems not to be in the cards this year. As much as some fans don't want to hear it, Davis is the WR2 until his is displaced. So, in my amateur football knowledge drafting a future WR2 (mainly outside, with a deep threat possibility) somewhere Day 2 seems to be the smart move for this season. Jonathan Mingo seems to be a possibility. I would also like to hear what players fit the bill in the 4th round. Appreciate anyone with comments on that.

That is cap hit, not contract money. His restructure(s) are going to make the yearly cap hits all over the place.

Mama Hurts got Jalen a good deal. Josh is at $43M.

All I can do is "internet" scout, but I did like Mingo. Many are saying his stock is rising. I've entertained the idea of a TE and the Bills using a lot of 12 but I just don't see that happening with Josh (but you never know). I'll check out the others you named. Thanks.

Evidently watching some of Harty's highlights he does line up outside and actually has some good moves there. I'm sure he will push to play slot primarily, but thought I'd mention that. One possibility I have entertained, is that the Bills go with multiple players in the slot. Diggs, Harty, Shakir and Sherfield all could take snaps there. That could cause a bigger rotation on the outside too. That brings me back to getting a outside WR in the draft (even though it seems to be slim pickings). Probably not the 1st round then. I don't know if there is a talent fit in the 2nd or 3rd they could be looking at.

He was drafted by the Colts (2020 6th round). Been on the Bills PS last season and was signed to a reserve/futures contract early this year. Definitely a long shot but will be interesting seeing him on a team with a QB this summer.

Taking Josh out of the equation, the 2 positions on offense that can derail the 2023 season are OT and WR IMO. An injury to Dawkins along with the same play from Spencer Brown would be very, very bad. If Doyle and Q end up playing significant time, I pity Josh. If Diggs was to miss a lot of games the same can be said for the WR room. Draft a WR and OT with 2 of the 1st 3 picks.

My hope is Kim will be well enough to attend the Super Bowl Parade in downtown Buffalo next February! Keep getting better.

No doubt they are paying a lot more for the rights. Fans talking about the cap going way up............that wasn't coming at a viewer discount.

So, it's $21 per week if you are not a YouTube subscriber and you do the early bird special Of course, not counting National games. I can live with that. I just have to decide if I want to capture the savings going to YouTube TV and ditching Sling. I got a month or so to make up my mind. Does anyone know if you get a discount if you sign up for (YouTube TV and the NFL package) on YouTube Premium add free service?

I really don't mind if you sit this one out.

I was ready to be pissed until I saw it's just another "Git-er-Dun" thread.

$2.79M in Spotrac. $200K-3 sacks, $600k-5sacks, $850k-8 sacks incentives. Looks OK to me. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/jordan-phillips-16776/

I like the signing for 2 reasons. 1. Shaq performed well last year at depth rotation. 2. I do think now that no top picks go to the DL THIS year.
