Thats his insurance agent

Wasnt Ivory basically our first signing last year? Couldnt throw that $2M at Jesse James or someone the team actually needed.

Lets get AP too...1,2,3 punch.

McCoy, Ivory, Gore. We now have 3 of the top 13 active leaders in rushing yards. Gore #1, McCoy #3 and Ivory #13. Got that going for us.

Interesting to see what Tyrell Williams gets. Dont be shocked if he gets 4 years and $50M+. AB or Williams?

Winning. No one else can do it like McBeane. Bodine, Newhouse, V Davis, R Bush, AJM, Star, T Murphy, Kerley...

I hope we are a contender in the next 2-3 years. Really 3 more years and then we can contend? Get Brown and some OL and this team contends next year or the year after. This is not the old NFL - you only have short windows due to free agency.

You dont need to "kick the tires" to know he would get paid that kind of money. His current contract was already a 4/$68M deal. He would be completely out of touch with reality if he thought he could get him and pay him peanuts. That is living in lala land.

I hope its him not wanting to play here. If it was that kind of money that turned Beane off then he has problems. I could see if it was a 5 year + deal and $100M or something. 3 yr and $50M is nothing.

This would be the perfect time to pay a WR $16-17M for 3 years. We have a QB on his rookie deal so have the space. Develop a young WR and let AB walk in 3 years. In a few years if Allen pans out he is getting $20M+ per and then you will have a hard time paying a WR.

That is absurd on multiple levels. 1. Beane knew from the start AB would want big money. You don’t need to get in the trade talks to find that out. 2. Players like to see guys get paid. That is a unifying front for them. The bills players would have loved to get AB in their team. 3. Don’t pay for stars because we have young guys that will get upset? Let’s be a team of guys on rookie contracts and be a 4-7 win team forever.

We got him: What an awesome move. Is Beane the best GM in football or what. Instant playoff team and super bowl contender. We did not get him: He sucks anyway. He is a diva and on the downside of his career. His number are going to be awful this year, just see. We never wanted him anyway just trying to mess with Pit.

Even more funny is Tasker asking Greg Cossell (?) if Brown is a #1 WR. He is maybe #1 in the league and your asking if he is a #1? Seriously...

But we saved up all this cap space for this free agency...

Still think we could use an additional WR. But the OL looks much improved and TE position solidified. Love could be a steal at RB.

The pick is

We dont know what is going on behind the scenes at PSE. Here is what we do know about the Bills and Sabres: Bills were 9-7 when Pegula bought the team. The team then went 8-8 in 2015, 7-9 in 2016, 9-7 in 2017 and 6-10 in 2018. I would not call that progress. In the same short time period they went from Marrone to Ryan to McD and changed GM's. Too soon to call a disaster but the playoff season skews the reality of the mediocrity at best that has been the Bills under Pegula. Sabres are a complete disaster. Bought the team in 2011. A team that had been a consistent playoff contender. The team had never gone more than 3 years without making the playoffs. We are now on 8 years and counting. The team had only had one sub 64 point full season since 1971-72 and has now had 3 with Pegulas as owners. They have had 3 top 3 draft picks since buying the team, top 10 picks every year since 2012. Going into the season they were the worst the last 7 years. Why should Terry be good at running a team? I dont know. Is he really just a lucky rich guy. He really just got lucky and struck oil and was able to sell for a few billion. Not like he has a history of success running businesses or let alone sports teams.

More like was serviceable in Was but not good enough for them to want to pay him.

Dont bet on Long being the answer. Bodine, Newhouse, Ducasse were also supposed to be the answers...

Stats are one thing and only part of the picture. I would not call those stats pedestrian regardless. UW this past year followed him all over the field and game played around him. ASU tried to counter that by running the ball and playing the possession game. Was a terrible strategy and they only thew for 100 yds.

Harry will be first WR taken. The guy is just a beast and his speed is underrated. AJ Green, Michael Thomas upside. Dont get the Treadwell comparisons. The games his freshman and sophomore year was against a ridiculous secondary. Think 3 or 4 of them all were drafted in the 2nd round.

Watch the Harry highlights. Guy is a freak and usually looks like the best player on the field.

I think they go OL or DL. Player that is growing on me though is WR - N'Keal Harry. Could be the weapon we need. Go watch the highlights if you have not seen the kids.

You need an offense to get there. I would say - Defense can win in the playoffs or defense can win one game. But over the stretch of 16 games you need at a minimum an above average offense. Just ask TEN and JAC. Both had solid defenses that were good statistically but Offenses that could not keep up over a season.
