The games don’t matter, it’s the lack of time in the system that’s a concern, especially with McDummy making it a point to tell us all not to expect anything from him before he gets here. I won’t be shocked if he see the field less than Hollins for the remainder of the year. The comp pick is a fair point, but if Edmunds didn’t get us a 3rd, I find it very unlikely Cooper will.

The value issue is his age and he is here for 11 games. Thats a lot to give up for less than a one season rental. The contract is what makes it “worth” it. It’s a gamble to win now, just hope it works. Yeah for 20+M a year FYI

This has to be it, the Browns knew they had the only WR that would fit on most any team with that contract, I’m sure they took more than the Bills calls. On paper, it’s way too much for him, but the reality is, nobody cares if he’s the spark the O needs. If you listen to McClappy, he won’t see the field and certainly won’t be getting in over guys he trusts lol. If that clown won’t use the new weapon, he needs to be shown the door.

Seriously, what the literal F was that? If he doesn’t see the field for 3 weeks, don’t be shocked. If he doesn’t, just fire McClappy.

Like it or not, the reason is simple. They aren’t throwing the ball nearly as much and every other stat line is drastically off his normal too. This is a case of the team taking the ball out of their best player’s hands and limiting his ability to be what makes him special. I’m happy he’s protecting the ball, but this offense is a joke. It’s the same garbage theory as the defense, they simply play safe and hope the other team misses an assignment. Look what happens when they play a real D, they look like a high school team out there. Imagine for a minute how bad this scheme really has to be to make Josh Allen 19th in passing yards. You have a HoF QB and the coaches want to lean on the other team missing assignments vs letting the QB be a QB.

His numbers were comparable to Cook and Johnson looks the same, so they must all just be replacement level guys that thrive in Brady’s system. If you think about it, Cook didn’t arrive until Brady did, it’s gotta be true. I honestly thought Davis would over take Cook as the starter by about mid-season, Cook has really balled out, so that’s not going to happen, but I do think we’ll be seeing more of Davis than we have and Cook won’t be re-signed.

Why not. F these refs

He’s gotta go.

The mismanagement of personnel is bordering on criminal.

makes perfect sense doesn’t it?

Wishful thinking unfortunately. It will just be the 17th new OC for JA to work with and another year of a nicer purgatory. This team with a healthy Allen, will always be good enough to not draft high and never good enough to win it all. Allen will continue to make mediocre look ok and good look great until he can’t anymore. I think the beating is already starting to take a toll, we are watching the last of the window we had close and there’s not another one coming (with McClappy at the helm).

Thank you for telling us all you refuse reality, noted.

Point 1 yes there is a relationship, but Lawrence has him as a #3 where he belongs and still sucks, so I’m going w this one being on Lawrence and the Jags in general

Further confirming you can’t take off the Bills colored glasses. Miller is nothing more than an average speed rusher at this point. His only sacks come on coverage or others forcing the QB into his lap. He’s no longer getting his own. He’s the epitome of this DL, solid player, waiting for somebody else to generate pressure so they can get a tackle. It’s the exact reason this team signed him in the first place, nobody, including his broken down body can get home on their own. Flat out, Miller is a has been. He WAS great. Since the injury, he’s been awful for a season and worked his way back to being pretty good. The past is the past, he’s an old man that relied on elite explosion, which just isn’t there any more. If you love watching a guy run around the corner to 3 yards behind a QB, he’s your boy.

Absolutely not, the number one priority in paying somebody is knowing they will actually be on the field, that guy is a mountain of glass.

I’ll take Solomon in 2024 + 8.5M in cap vs having Von and it’s not even a question. Von is washed.

One that caused him to panic about his missing third round pick so he wouldn’t go up and get an affordable WR bc Sean need another rotational DT.

Even when not suspended, Von is nothing more than average at this point, no where near worth his contract. You can plug in AJE or even Solomon and have little to no drop off.

True, BUT if he’s not making much contribution, you have to eat dead cap at some point or you are wasting cap on him until the bitter end. Sometimes you have to take your medicine. Right now, he’s pretty much a non-factor. You play your young guys, hope they develop to a better replacement and spend that extra money improving the team. Should be a net gain of ~7M when all is said and done.

They aren’t moving on from Oliver, the contract prohibits that for at least another year, realistically 2. They are behind in many positions, but their idiotic use of cap space on the line is their own doing. He was drafted 5 spots ahead of us, so I’d say roughly 23rd? 🙄

He fell well within reach to go get him. The Bills have traded up to draft Elam, Kincaid and multiple other later round guys, but THIS is the one case you can’t understand?

I actually think the odds are pretty spot on, it’s pretty basic math to determine the chances of a lot of these teams digging themselves out of a hole and others having to completely collapse for things to be much different. Could it happen? Sure. But if you come back and look at this picture at the EOY, I bet Vegas wins. The AFC has kind of fallen apart haha. The Bills are “retooling” (or the failure to add talent where it matters is catching up, your choice of words), Steelers still have no O, Browns are Browning, Bengals had to pay their QB, Tua did Tua, Jets gambled on a 40 yr old, and all the other shots at QB missed the mark. You’re left with the Chiefs, Texans, Ravens and maybe the Josh Allen’s having a shot to win it.

Oh McD has to be licking his chops, another rotational 3 tech to put behind Ed in the 1st round!? Sign him UP!

He’s in the running for the most over rated player in the league, let somebody else fall on that sword. I'm not saying he sucks, but he thinks he’s All Pro and he’s basically the Dak Prescott of WRs.

Every week that goes by, Cooper’s value is lower in the trade market. He’s only signed through this year and very few teams have the ability to do much with an extension at this point in the year, especially if they are real contenders; who SHOULD, be the only ones interested in an aging WR who’s game is predicated on speed. All this is to say, I think his value caps out at a late 4th round pick, more realistically a 5th. It’s a pure “all in” risk move. Personally, I think the Bills should be on it, he’s really the best option with his super low salary this year and a get out of jail free card on the other side. Every other guy comes with a restructure to fit this year and a cap hit in future years because of it.
