Appreciate your insight. Just seems Johnson although FA would be pretty easy to resign if he’s in Bills plans. He and Hamlin would have 2-4 years in position as back ups. While Benford may be moved to safety, they would already have him in that spot if it was most beneficial to the team. Would seem quite a jump from never playing the position before imho.

Why would our starting CB be expected to be our S? We have 2 back up safeties currently. Poyer will either sign a 2 year deal and stay. Or be replaced by Johnson or Hamlin. And possibly a mid round draft choice next year.

Vey impressive for a 4.th option don’t you think ? It’s about explosive plays as part of a super deep group of skill players.

They will wait until tomorrow. Move Stephenson to IR now that he’s on the 53. Then go with Martin or Kern. Tucker hates his $5M from the Ravens crappy team on grass 😆

Jonnu was a dream for BB. What a value 🤔

Guessing he had options when Bills signed him. Certainly disappointing. Given he’s played with Brady and Josh he apparently just isn’t that good 🤷🏻‍♂️

Bruce missed a playoff against Pittsburgh when he had the flu. He didn’t get the flu vaccine so that’s interesting he ripped Beasley. Yes Bruce best ever Bill but doesn’t always impress with what he says imho.

It suggests the other teams were aware via due diligence. I don’t think it suggests he lied to Bills. But not sure and I won’t speculate.

Agree. While nobody will claim him until this is resolved, this continues the PR nightmare. No win for the Bills right now. Someone didn’t protect the franchise reputation and that’s the second biggest bummer of this whole deal. First of course being the trauma this girl endured.

JW article says 2 of 5 teams were aware of the situation. As a team vetting a positional need and MA being arguably the top punter-they should have at least been aware. The questions they ask are pretty specific. Any legal or off field issues we should be concerned about? Perhaps then the Bills would have asked, what about the SDSU campus rumors?

Again this thing has been actively discussed on the SDSU campus since it happened. Other athletes were asking for an investigation. He may very well be innocent but he was admittedly with the young lady that evening. So if he answers the ?’s asked he should have brought it up. I’m suggesting the Ravens may have been aware and did not draft him because of it.

What he should tell them is, it’s possible this will be brought up. He certainly was aware since the entire SDSU campus was talking about it. Bills draft due diligence would have ramped up (since it appears it wasn’t). But 2 other punters went ahead of him. That’s exactly what he should have told them.

Yes correct but not pre draft. To your point yes once they knew from JD’s lawyer they apparently were and potentially are so confident in what they know-they were ok with it. That seems to not align with McDermy’s presser post game. But your point reinforces Bills were aware and so confident they cut Haack.

I think Bills discussion should have been to 19-tell us before the draft. Since he didn’t it appears they took calculated risk that this would not go public. And they lost. Now imho just for not helping Bills be prepared that justifies his release today. Even if ultimately innocent. The Bills brand can’t have 6-9 months of being dragged an enablers. Given how hard they have worked over 5-6 years to seriously become of the top respected franchises in the NFL.

Sorry key point. If he’s shown to be involved. Think the challenge is this thing will both linger and likely not definitively prove his innocence. It’s civil not criminal so far.

Couple things: 1. No matter what this young girl had a terrible thing happen to her. I wish her peace and the strength to get through it. 2. I’m surprised the Bills with apparently some knowledge of the situation didn’t dig deeper. Particularly post Watson situation. 3. The Bills reputation is on the line. An honest transparent presser post “ addition investigation”. Where they release the punter and apologize for not doing the right thing originally. This could railroad what is expected to be a potential SB season.

Well could be .. other than people are saying that happened 🤷🏻‍♂️.. doesn’t mean that aren’t lying

The least of the Bills worries is the punter suing or them worrying about the nflpa. Court of public opinion is currently crushing them. This at a time when the Bills image has never been higher !! That’s what they care about. If McDermy has his way based on his presser.. things they gotta do is get the facts straight.. then cut the punter. I thought it would happen by noon.

Actually no people don’t. The acts regardless of age are agreed the key issue. But if that can’t be proven, age then becomes the issue. So yes it’s important.

In that case you cut him.

I don’t know why they don’t just suspend him until the situation plays out. If the Bills were as through as they say- then they can bring him back. If it turns out he did all that he accused of then he is cut. In the meantime the Bills get a punter( who can hold). The Bills statement really puts an intense amount of pressure on their credibility. At a time when the brand is at an all time high. This is a pivotal point for the franchise. If they get additional info they need to immediately apologize and take accountability.

People are sharing facts. That is not a defending him. Once all the facts are out a judgment can be made.

Ha well played sir. Ribeye 🥩 👍

Completely different situations. Most on here are saying let the situation play out. If he’s done what he’s accused of then he’s gone. Mina Kimes already blasting Bills investigation. If that’s deserved we will all agree. Bills are certainly acting like they are all in supporting him. So I think a bit of patience is required. Bills have demonstrated an organization that has its act together. Time will tell. If they are on the wrong side of this it will hurt the franchise in a very big way. A great deal at steak and the Bills ownership/leadership know this.

SDSU just built a new stadium. They are likely getting into the PAC 12. They are a top mid major program. Appreciate that doesn’t mean much to Bills fans. But certainly I don’t care if Alabama you do what’s right. Anything that slows this investigation based on football is totally unacceptable.
