Buffalo Junction

Damn. I just bought a non-updated 1962 built house in Greece NY for $127/sqft. Was a cash offer though.

This lawsuit is brought to you by the letters “L”, “A”, “M”, “R”, and the number “8”.

You have to be careful about the upward trajectory projection with guys who are splitting snaps. The NFL is littered with players that have out lying season statistics, particularly RBs and TDs. Probably the best recent example is Aaron Jones who parlayed a superbly productive season into a $12mil/yr contract with GB and never duplicated the scoring production. That said, I’d be happy if Beane got Cook signed for that same contract, but I’m not so sure it’d be the best idea if it was inflated to $15mil/yr. Jones career rushing stats.

Cook’s desired salary is not entirely unreasonable. Aaron Jones got a 4/$48M extension from GB years ago despite splitting carries after a similar season… same money as Jacobs. Plus, Barkley also just reset the market with $20 mil per season. RBs that can break a game open and are threats in the passing game get paid. I’m not sure if Beane will pay that, but some team likely will.

Wow. Surprised by the numbers. Certainly a heck of a deal for the Bills.

My big issue with Coleman is that his current skill set basically fills the same niche as Kincaid — big slot. That’s on Beane, not the kid… Coleman certainly has room for improvement though, so 🤞🏼 that he maximizes his potential while on a rookie contract. I was however pleasantly surprised at how capable Coleman was as a blocker at times. If he can become a real dog there maybe that’ll help him at the top of his stems. Wait and see I guess.

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and assume you didn’t go to the “wrong” Catholic Church, group home, etc while growing up….

It’s all good as long as they avoid their PED test results coming back “pregnant”.

Some folks think Allen, Shakir, Rousseau, Oliver, Edwards, McGovern, Torrence, Brown, Bernard, Benford, and Cook are all trash. A few of them even think that signing some of these guys to below market deals is worse. Such is the case with the modern mind twisted by Madden on easy franchise mode. 🤷‍♂️

Check in after the SB…. If this FA class and upcoming draft picks culminate in a SB win then we can party in the streets and build statues…. Until then it’s wait and see.

Good for both sides…. Bills need the cap and roster space…. Elam needs a fresh start. Good luck to him, and I hope we have better luck on whomever we draft with those picks.

I’m not certain that we need another difference maker on offense (assuming Cook and Shakir perform at the same level), especially if Coleman or Kincaid take a step forward. We certainly need a difference maker or two on the team overall though. Whether that’s the desired receiver, DB that makes timely plays, or a DLman that gets timely stuffs or sacks… We need another guy or two to make some magic happen, particularly on the defensive side of the ball.

It’s Shelly Long.

Okay…. Now Beane needs to upgrade the D line to keep him clean.

At the right price - assuming he’s healthy - Hargrave would be a good rotational piece with Oliver that could be used effectively on 3rd and long alongside Oliver in a rush package. Key is in the right price and healthy aspect….

None. It would be proof of concept for Daboll’s offense. It’d probably work a lot better if they hadn’t bailed on saquon but 🤷‍♂️.

Wouldn’t be the worst idea if they could trade down, get a first next year and stockpile some day 2 picks. Of course that might be better for the Giants long term than the current regime.

That’s the key to Cook’s value for me. I would be all for resigning him if he was a solid pass blocker and could stay on the field for every critical 3rd and 4th down.

The correct way to view Cook is in the same category as Aaron Jones who’s been well paid and had a good career thus far. Cook - like Jones or Ekeler - isn’t an every down all game guy like Henry, Barkley, Kamara or Jacobs. He’s in the category below that, but provides the ability to make game-breaking plays in the running and passing game. Those types orten tend to not break down as fast as standard RBs, but the reduced percentage of touches makes them less valuable. The biggest thing that Cook has going against him aside from not being a workhorse is his pass blocking. When a large portion of a RBs value lays in their ability to make plays in the passing game the inability to pass block reduces their snap count and value. Basically, if you have to pay a Ty Johnson to play those third down snaps then Cook doesn’t deserve that extra couple million.

Legit shot with Allen on the 14’ squad. I’d actually put my money on this current version of Allen on the 04’ squad though…. Henry, McGahee, Evens, Moulds, S Adams, Big Pat, Schöbel, Clements, McGee, Milloy, Vincent, Spikes, Fletcher, Posey…. Biggest weakness was RT which JA17 could nullify with his legs. Seriously, if you just add Pat Williams and McGee, Clements, or Vincent to this past seasons roster and this team at least gets to the SB.

He’ll be there in three years if the team performs. Roseman knows he can probably hire the pick of the litter any time he wants to hire a new HC though, so he’ll probably “swap parts” after an early playoff loss if there’s a top 5-10 coach (Shanny, LaFleur, McDermott, etc) on the market. Outside of Reid, Roseman probably has the most job security of any non-owner in the league, and he’ll leverage that to stay on a HoF track.

He hasn’t been effective running the ball, but he’s had a huge impact on the game. The Barkley factor lead to 1v1 coverage on AJ Brown, etc.

It’s to be expected with the lack of transparency and public accountability for officials. People will always fill gaps with their own explanations…. Add in the current gambling ties with the NFL, and it’s going to be exasperated.

If they extended Cook at a 4 year $38 million I’d be extremely content with that. 3 for $30MM wouldn’t be bad either assuming he keeps producing at his current clip. He’s pretty low mileage despite the output, and RBs that produce in the passing game and split carries generally last better; Kamara, Aaron Jones, etc. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised to see the market shift a bit after what Henry, Sayquon, and Jacobs did this season.

These eyes are cryin
