True but lets see who they have signed to the PS. That could influence a move.

I'm waiting to see when all the dust clears how much cap Beane has to work with. If he goes out of house for anything I think it could be a CB. At least it's a hope of mine.

PS almost for sure. He might actually get a bump from the minimum to sign.

Reid Ferguson doing the vet/re-sign move is a bit strange. He just signed a 3 year contract extension with 650k in signing bonus. I want to see how much he got paid for this move on his new contract. He definitely flew under my radar as a guy who would do this. Good for him being a team guy!

Thanks for reminding me. I got to go to the ex-girlfriends shop to get a haircut right now. Hopefully I won't miss anything. See you guys in a few!

It's about time for this post!

Actually after the "ST only" players from last year have moved on (Andre Roberts and Bam Johnson) I can see Jones making the team. BUT maybe they move on from him too. It's 4pm lets find out! Go Bills!

Definitely not. What is reasonable is that Haack + Jones replacement MAY make his perceived role diminished enough they move on from him. That has been my take all off season.

One other thing about PSLs are this. If you own one lets say you paid 5k for it and want to give it up you can sell it for more money to a fan who wants to buy it from you. But like @MAJBobbysaid if you can't you give it back to the team.

Come on Brandon one more trade and then announce your cuts!

Definitely not saying this WILL happen the way we just said but it seems it COULD head that way and fans/taxpayers seem to "get a deal". What if all of sudden the Perry Projects are sold to this endeavor for $1 like Palidino wanted. All speculation on my part but 2027 is a long way away.

I couldn't agree with you more. It is the main reason for a new stadium wanted by the NFL in my opinion.

I totally agree. It's just interesting to watch this start to unfold. I do tend to believe that fans/taxpayers/voter are sometimes manipulated to get what others want in the first place. Where things "start" and where they "finish" is always interesting to me. LOL.

I hear you Major. One thing confusing about the article is this. Did you read as the initial 1.6B for the stadium in OP going down to 1.4B and then commenting about 1.9B for downtown as 300M more to build the current proposal OR 500M more to build downtown? The only thing about that is IF the infrastructure money can be secured with a lot of $s from the Federal Infrastructure Bill just passed, well the downtown looks a lot better. Just bringing this up because it seems all politics, politics, politics right now.

You know it's something to consider but I think it will be fine. I know a lot of people have been on the Pegula's about a lot of this but they were told they needed a new stadium by the NFL when they bought the Bills. They dragged their feet as long as they could which I think was a good thing. I'm fairly confident the Highmark will be fine until the new one is built. I would venture a guess the "safety" report was more of a "need to build a new one soon" more than an imminent concern.

The "average" cost of a seat in Buffalo is $74. It will probably almost double and then add PSLs. It will price out a large group of lower income fans and that is just the way it is everywhere else in the NFL. Rabid fans will still attend but it will affect casual attendees. Currently a lot of away team fans come to Buffalo because it's so cheap.

Seems they will add a few years to the current lease. The lease dollars could help maybe with some of the public financing. Maybe?

There were guys talking on NFLN a little while ago saying the exact same thing.

Like 120. But a lot are small. I'm assuming the 60 they are talking about are large high luxury suites. Without more details we are all guessing.

Remember that wealthy away team groups will occupy some of these suites too.

He's an oldtimer fan. He remembers the 60s and early 70s Steelers. He told me last year their big winning streak was a mirage. He was right.

With the new thread I will repeat this post. 60 suites is less than half of the number of suites in the average NFL stadium. It seems right for Buffalo. https://alsd.com/content/premium-seat-industry-reference-points

60,000 seats and another 3,000 or so inside suites seems about right for Buffalo. The new stadium will price out some lower income fans and that's just what it is. 60 suites is like half of the average number of suites at NFL stadiums stated in this article for anyone interested. https://alsd.com/content/premium-seat-industry-reference-points

Had lunch with my Steeler fan friend yesterday. We talk some about the game. He is a smart football guy and a long long time Steeler fan. He is not happy with their OL and Secondary which he equates as a big problem in facing the Bills. FWIW.

70% of Bass Kickoffs were touchbacks last season. It could be even higher this year. One of Haack's pluses is his hang time which is directly proportionate to more fair catches. Fans are not undervaluing STs it's just a fact in todays NFL and looking like a planned scheme by our Bills. It's the Bills potent offense that will give them field advantage this year (just like last year).
