agreed. seems Wizard needs to put down the wand

if those are the only options, try to sign Cooper to something reasonable and trade up into the 3rd round of the draft for a burner. Thats about it. Go upgrade the defense. Get a man corner in FA and draft a very large DT please.

Has to be Josh, even though last season was probably not his best In general, without him, the drought could now easily be 25 seasons long, Lovie Smith would be the 4th HC and Jameis Winston the 4th Qb in the last 6 seasons.

could be. I live here and lots of Garrett chatter in the DC area.

Are you kidding me? The NFL playoffs are absolutely a clone of college tournaments. eg. the NFL playoffs are no different structurally than a college basketball conference tournament. They have regular season champion and then a tournament winner; they are (or at least they were for decades) two seperate things. Winning your conference W-L standings (was for decades) a big big deal. The tournament was just an add -on. Colleges had division, conference structures with real rivalries followed by single elimination conference tournaments long before the NFL started to. Where do you think the NFL got it from?? See, after 20 years of suck, I love it all, every f ing game this team wins. You guys just sit on your hands for 4 months waiting for the tournament. Nothing else matters to you. Sad, really.

Once Josh is married to his west coast wife with the L.A. career base and with a couple kids, I could absolutely see him rolling back to California and his family. He's a family guy, after all. 5 years may be just about right, but for a different reason. He may very well do a "Lebron James"; win one for WNY fans and then head home. It's at least within the range of possibilities.

I'm with Steve Tasker on this. You consistently raise and maintain the roster level every year (this is "the process"), get to the playoffs every year, and, given the inherent randomness of single elimination tournaments, your play will bring a SB at some/multiple points depending on how things break in one year or the next ; ie; keeping swinging the bat with a great, attractive team talent/ culture mix and you will hit the ball. Along the way, win (and celebrate) 3 out of 4 games consistently (the value of this element is becoming lost, esp on this board); for me that is a successful program which will also last, and produce tournament wins along the way. Esp in WNY where your franchise had better have positive attributes (SB shot every year, great team culture/chemistry) to offset the downsides (unwarranted IMO, but that seem to still exist) that FAs see in the area. I don't allow the media to corrupt me into believing that the only measure of success is winning the year end tournament.. what about all the success and wins along the way? When your team is finally this freakin good, why be a fan if you can't relish the journey just as much as the destination?

gonna be a long offseason.... sigh

Bills grab him as an UDFA.

yeah this draft class is not so much a WR class it seems

Grant..

5 more good seasons so that means another 60-70 wins, most in a new beautiful stadium? sign me up for that sh-t all day.

Curtis Samuel ran 4.31 at the combine. Now can he stay healthy is the question. OOPs, Higgins just got the franchise tag. so much for that idea

Don't be surprised if the market for 30 y.o. Cooper is not what his agent might think it is and he comes back for 2 years, $25m or so.

Can't afford $30m+ for him, so that's off the table. Pats have $100m in cap space, they'll probably grab him, although they will need to overpay, ($35M?) since they suck. My bet is Beane drafts some speed. A guy who can be taught to beat man coverage.
