Nice career, wish him well.

Playing next to Jones, he would be a problem… if he can stay on the field (not laying on it holding an injury).

Wish I was wrong..

How long have you been a Bills fan, because unless you are a bandwagoner, you were loyal to a garbage team for 20 years, for FREE. Whats that say about you?

He has been REALLLY good at times in his career, I don’t know where he’s at now, but I wanted him when he went to sign with the swamp cats.

Would be happy with either, LOVE Crosby, but don’t see the Raiders being dumb enough to move him.

Yeah, don’t see him getting 3.3, BUT stranger things have happened, if he gets it, good for him.

He ditched AAAAron to get paid and there’s whole Carr thing didn’t work out. He might chase Rodgers, but I doubt it, that’s a one year dumpster fire. I predict a ring chase or all about the money. If he’s chasing, we have a shot. If it’s all about the Benjamins then not so much.

Call me nuts, but I think Morris is going to get more than that.

Fair point. That said, there are lots of first round picks out there that I would take over Metcalf and I’d rather use the pick on someone else.

IDK = I Don’t Kare about DK, Aka David Boston Light.

Egomaniacs like him don’t mature, they get more bitter about what was and whine. Let him do his act elsewhere.

The best part (as an angry/jealous fan), is he bet on himself being worth a huge deal in FA this offseason, even before the injury, that wasn’t going to happen the way he thought and now he’s out himself squarely in the “hope to get a good 1 year prove it deal” category and I strongly doubt he’ll ever recover the money he pissed away by not being able to be professional. If he ever gets a deal for more than 2 years of guaranteed money again, I’ll be shocked.

The only real mistake was not reading the signs and giving him that extension. That dead cap hit last year may well have been the difference between the Bills winning the SB and not.

I’d like to see his SB winning percentage go up.

That was the sneakiest 100 tackle season ever. Good for him.

Stats don’t tell the whole story. Josh Allen is MVP and Lamar out performed him in damn near every possible category. Years past Lamar was MvP and JA outperformed him in most statistical categories. The difference a player makes on the team is not measured purely in stats. Teams HAVE to respect the fact Worthy can take the top off and Mahomes has the arm to hit him. Coleman strikes exactly zero fear in a D, he’s just a big plodder, not drawing extra coverage anywhere. The reason the middle of the field opened up for Buffalo was teams shifting their eyes to Coop a little bit, imagine the threat of Worthy taking the top off and having a HoF TE running free in the middle of the field for 100+ catches.. oh wait, you can just watch the replays.. KCs OL is hot garbage and there was nobody besides Kelce to take any attention from Worthy for the majority of the year, he still made an impact. Coleman on the other hand had one game where he actually made an impact.

Except he’s done exactly the opposite in KC, but cool story.

Ask yourself, how big is the gap between Cook for 2 downs and using Davis or Johnson for 3rd down bc Cook has so many holes in his game, vs letting Davis play? I’d argue it’s not that big. Certainly not 10M a year difference. If Cook was a complete back, I’d be right there with you, but Barkley is worth 12 and Henry 8, Cook has no ground to stand on at all asking 15.

mostly agree, but the drafting leads to the FA signings and that’s where the trouble comes. No cheap contributors means you have to fill holes with other cheap guys and your roster becomes mid. You MUST find impact players in the draft. The Beane strategy of drafting to fill holes leads to missing out on the best talent. Now you have a hole filled w mid talent and your competition gets the difference makers, maybe not a position of “need” but the team is better off for it.

No, it’s like a 2nd, it’s still before the 3rd

Yep bc he’s going to eat their cap space for 67 yards a game, woooo scary.

In reality, most starters are taking up more than 4% once they hit a second deal. The QB takes up a massive percentage. The balance is finding a way to pay about 8 guys a total of 50+% of the cap and fill the rest of the roster with good enough players to be competitive. This is why drafting is SO IMPORTANT and finding impact players is a HUGE deal. This is also the thing Beane has failed to do here. The talent on the roster is severely lower than the Chiefs, Eagles, Ravens, etc because the drafts have not yielded any impact players. His best pick outside of Allen, has been Benford, a 6th round pick. That’s flat out scary and explains the roster issues.

Garrett or Crosby would be huge. I’m all set on Von Miller 2.0, let the Cowgirls deal with all that drama.

I hear what you are saying, but to me, it’s time to retool the D. Groot is a solid player, but unfortunately, not a real game changer. I’m happy to have him back, but if the projections are anywhere near right, you can’t afford to be over paying for him and Oliver and 2 other guys that you either have to invest big draft capital in or pay big money just to hide the fact the other 2 have no real impact. These are the types of contracts that kill a team. Oliver is a replacement level starter being paid like a top 10 DT. Groot will be on the same path. You can’t afford to make the same mistake. If you could dump Oliver.. ok I guess. Bernard is solid, but he has the same issue as Milano, he’s too small, too fragile and too slow. He gets washed out of plays way too easily and needs space to operate, he’s offers next to nothing on the blitz because a stiff breeze can knock him off course. I like the guy, but he’s not one to invest in. This is specifically where I think the team needs to retool in a big way. LB has been a gapping hole for a while… I hate to say it, since Edmunds left and it wasn’t great then. Milano is a walking med tent, everyone else is mediocre. The lack of impact from the LB position is a MAJOR reason this team gets its ass beat in the run and TEs have their way with them. Let everyone play out their contracts, but two new starters are needed here. Benford, though a definite product of the system is really good in the system. Pay the man.
