IIRC I think the issue that he signed an extension as an RT. They then moved him over to a LT who are paid higher. His argument was that after changing to a more premiere position he should be paid accordingly. To be honest, I think Peters just wanted out of Buffalo and this was how he forced his way out of town. It all goes back to relationships between the front office and players & agents. Brandon, was horrible, Nix and Whaley weren’t great. Beane is excellent. This happened to just about every major name who played in Buffalo and it goes to show how crappy the Bills were run during the final years of Ralph Wilson.

This would be a great move in 2014. Peters is washed…my best friend is an Eagles fan and said he was terrible in 2020. Bitched about him every week and said he should retire. Couldn’t believe he was still playing in 2021.

Gotta cut him…have to

Sounds like the Bills knew about this already…possibly before they cut Haack. So there’s a possibility they investigated it already and still kept Araizia on the team. Beane and McDermott aren’t the type that will takes these kind of chances so maybe there’s more to the story. We don’t know yet

Not the same situation but yeah he could be banished from the league. my point was, he’s not facing criminal charges. Someone alluded to him going to prison - as of now that’s not on the table

This is where I’m at. I see a lot of Bills fans saying “Duke lacrosse.” Also a bad look…we don’t know enough to say this a false accusation

More like the wages-garnished god. He is facing civil…not criminal charges

This is pretty awful if true… If what she says is correct there should be some documentation from the police which should give us more info. But man, this is an awful accusation

Nope… first off contractually I don’t think could make it work. Second, the knock on Golloday has been his inability to create separation. These type of receivers have not done well with Josh

I was just listening to this the other day. Howard and Jeremy sounded really bummed LOL O

Ah ok… I didn’t follow his career too closely but tried to connect the dots when I saw him play last week

It’s insane how many former Bills that Schoen and Daboll have brought to NYG. I watched WV’s own David Sills have a very good game last night and given their bad depth at WR he might make the team

The problem with Cody is that he doesn’t that’s the speed or athleticism to play RT. You can play him at RG and he’ll do a decent job blocking but he struggles in pass protection. I’d have to agree with Thad here in the sense that I think there was a chance the Bills move on from Cody. So rather than eat his salary they get a decent sized pick and clear up a little cap space. A good trade but man what a whiff the selection of Ford was

Highly doubtful. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Barkley play the majority of the game

Agreed…but he lives in Texas for most of the off-season so he probably didn’t put effort or money into that

That is tragic. I didn’t realize he had a brother who played college football. After seeing the headlines, I assumed the brother was one of the two kids his family adopted featured in the embedded video

Rally about sexual abuse…as long as it’s “non violent”

I think the entire idea of Spring football is flawed and always will be. Nearly every Spring league that has started ultimately fails to generate enough interest/revenue to make it sustainable. I will say that The Rocks seems to be taking the right approach with this version of thr XFL in terms of taking time to scout players, hiring execs with NFL experience, and using his connections to sign deals. In the end though, I think football fans enjoy the break from games and that any spring league always comes off as second rate. The only chance for a spring league is to make the produce different from the NFL like an Arena League.

What puzzles me about this is…if you throw an item at a player from the stands, how are you supposed to get it back? Do you plead with a security guard to give it to you? Come on… I hated seeing these videos not just because it’s disrespectful but because the Bills have really been accommodating to signing things for fans. I’ve read reports that Allen, Diggs, Von Miller and Dawson Knox (among others) have spent up to 40 minutes after practice signing for fans. This is rare in the NFL for superstars of that caliber and it shows how the Bills players are appreciative of the fan support. But it seems that because of this, fans expect them to sign items. It feels like they are taking advantage of their generosity. Throwing items at players is so disrespectful Good on Allen for calling out BS behavior

I know a huge Bears fan who speaks of Smith the way some of us talk about Edmunds. He seems to be very much underwhelmed by Roquon

Yeah I thought about Paup too. Still was a good player but never the force he was during his DPOY campaign in 1995

With news of the recent retirement of Kiko Alonso, some Bills fans on Twitter have named him the best “one year wonder” in Bills history. Who are some other players that come to mind who had really one great year and then a middling to below average career? A few come to mind: 1. Karlos Williams - He had a monster 2015 season averaging almost 6 YPC and scoring 7 TD’s, despite missing 6 games and playing behind Shady. He also was decent in the pass game. He seemed to be the perfect back and should’ve had a big career. But his attitude and failure to stay in shape forced him out of the NFL and he never played again. Tremendous waste of potential. 2. Peerless Price - he went from being a steady WR2 to exploding in 2002 with career highs in receptions, yards, and touchdowns. Donahoe traded Price as a RFA and he continued to be steady but unspectacular WR he was prior to 2002. 3. Terry Miller - Rushed for 1060 yards his rookie season in 1978. He rushed for less than half that during the remainder of his career. Out of the NFL 3 years after his rookie standout season. 4. Robert Foster - Became one of Josh Allen’s favorite targets and established himself as a bonfide deep threat with over 500 yards and 20 yard avg in just 11 games. But he sunk on the depth chart and was out of the league 3 years later. 5. CJ Spiller - high draft pick that had a middling career until his 2012 breakout season where he rushed for over 1,200 yards. He had a decent year in 2013 but his production dropped quickly after and he was out of the NFL by 2017.

Joe Buscaglia just dropped an interesting podcast where he named 7 Bills that have exceeded expectations and 7 who need to show more in training camp. Some interesting takeaways: 1. Isaiah McKenzie - he’s been unguardable in both zone and man defense. Solidifying the slot WR over Crowder as he offers better YAC potential. 2. Zach Moss - has looked a lot quicker and decisive and could factor into the run game more than initially thought 3. Khalil Shakir - smooth route runner that has played well at WR2 and could be a legit backup for Davis. 4. Ed Oliver - making an impact every single practice and destroying the reshuffled OL 5. Christian Bedford - holding his own against WR’s and getting some snaps with the 1st team defense. He’s a lock to make the team. 6. Jaquan Johnson - Has outplayed Damar Hamlin. Offers position flexibility at safety and *could* be a cheaper replacement to Poyer in 2023 7. Matt Araiza - Solid holder…constantly punts farther and w/ nearly as much hang time as Haack. Players who are not trending downward but need to show more and have yet to impress: 1. Kaiir Elam - inconsistent and might be thinking too much. Has struggled versus Diggs and Davis. Needs more time/experience 2. Spencer Brown - has not practiced with team yet. Also struggled a bit toward the end of last season. Might start the year on the bench behind David Quessenberry while he recovers. 3. Case Keenum - has looked “meh” and has showed difficultly pushing the ball downfield. 4. Shaq Lawson - he’s made a few plays but has been relatively quiet in training camp 5. Greg VanRotten - has not looked good at all and is being outplayed by Greg Mancz. Could end up on PS 6. Baylon Specter - ST potential but there may not be a spot on the 53 this year. 7. Tommy Sweeney - loved in the locker room but has been outplayed by Quinton Morris. No separation and just an average blocker Interesting to see Elam on the list but it probably doesn’t help that he’s facing Diggs and Davis each week. Hopefully things slow for him. I also wonder if Shaq makes the 53.

Like you said, they can’t enforce it and they have to know that in 2022 there is zero chance people aren’t going to post video of a public event online I have never heard of any fan or spectator that was banned from attending for posting training camp videos open to the public This. Like other beat reporters he has to follow the rules and cover the Bills the same way that a fan blog like Cover 1 can. He’s pissed about that

Always liked Kilgore. That’s pretty cool that he was your Uber driver. I would be excited
