Will there be a follow up “13 reasons”?

Very unlikely this even gets to a vote, let alone passes. Edit: as others have said, this is likely a tactic from Congress to persuade the NFL to cooperate with their sexual harassment inquiries. Owners (including the Bills’) looking to build new stadiums now are more likely to place more pressure on their peers to dial back their stalling and obstruction. Anything that gets Dan Snyder out of the league asap I’m on board with.

Agreed. That compensation was suggested by the author of the linked article in the OP, and I have no idea how or why he thought that would even be considered.

I don’t have a problem bringing him in, the money can be balanced out and he is an elite talent when healthy. I just don’t want to then limit his utility by turning him into a strict slot guy.

found the last couple of years at least: “McCaffrey lined up in the slot 16 of 429 snaps in 2019 under then-coach Ron Rivera, according to ESPN Stats & Information. In his first season under Rhule and Brady in 2020, McCaffrey lined up there twice on 78 snaps. He lined up in the slot only once in 141 snaps this season. He lined up in the backfield 135 times in 2021, as opposed to wide receiver three times, Wildcat quarterback twice and slot once.” https://www.google.com/amp/s/abcnews.go.com/amp/Sports/carolina-panthers-intention-trading-christian-mccaffrey-gm-scott/story%3Fid%3D82185937 edit: 56 snaps from slot in ‘18, over 100 in ‘17. So he’s done it early in his career at a pretty decent volume.

Well look at that. They caved.

Doubt this succeeds, but at least this zombie league is starting to get the right idea - you can’t exist in competition with the NFL, they really need to figure out a viable way to work with and compliment the NFL.

Trade multiple assets for an expensive player and then only use part of his talent set. Yes sounds like a great idea. 🙄

yes because the regular white helmets and the white throwback standing buffalo helmets are the same - they just switch the decals, so they count as “one helmet.” So with the reds they can use all 3 designs.

Hope it hits obviously. Why on earth does his age matter?

Like clockwork, conveniently this scumbag announced his “retirement” 15 days ago. Probably a day after Van Natta contacted the team for comment on this story.

and now you’re linking his book to buy? 1. no one here was “hating” on Simmons. You crafted that tidy strawman as an excuse to post about him here. You’re not fooling anyone. 2. But since you asked, I just personally think he’s buffoonish and obnoxious. I couldn’t care less about his opinions on The Wire. I watched the show myself, I know it’s good.

And now you’re shilling for him? You on the payroll? And no, I shant check the site.

Simmons is a clown and his flunkies are even worse. But if want to pollute your eyes and ears with his garbage go ahead.

The Bills’ D line doesn’t run stunts? Are you serious? Tell me you don’t know what you’re looking at without telling me you don’t know what you’re looking at

💯 the hanging upside down bit was a callback to the original music video for the song.

Pretty cool I guess. I don’t know anything about the methodology behind this metric though, could be another ESPN ploy to sound smart a la QBR.

generally agree but I’d argue Kupp is a star, or at least he should be. Donald is perhaps the greatest DT to ever play. Granted, those guys aren’t QBs so they only move the needle so much.

They absolutely need to expand rosters if they are going to continue adding games. Granted those spots will be mostly taken up by replacement-level fringe talent and probably not go very far in improving the quality of football week over week, but it will at least help with the fatigue issue the OP is talking about.

This is such a badly contrived poll/question I’m not even sure if there’s a good answer to it.

pretty much.

Jesus.

well that’s the most obvious dog whistle i’ve ever read here. Agree the mix and delay was bad. Loved the show though.

Cry more.

Running over them all night? Not really
