Gretzky also scored a ton against goalies basically using street hockey equipment and played in the free wheeling wide open 80s. No need to diminish the goal record. Ovechkin is the greatest goal scorer in NHL history. Nobody considers him to be in the running for best player ever, obviously, but he has proven to be the best goal scorer. There is nothing misleading about the goal record. It is a phenomenal accomplishment. I think the sacks record is a decent comparison, actually. If Garrett played at a high level into his late thirties, he could maybe challenge, but that is not likely.

Maybe he could come into the game if both starters and both backups were injured. Seeing fans talk like having him play significant time in 2025 would be fine is crazy. If the team is serious about being a championship contender, they can't have a guy of that caliber roaming around the field for anything other than mop up time.

No point in bringing back Cooper. I don't think he offers enough on the field anymore. The Cooper experiment was worth taking at the time, but it failed and it is time to move on.

I can agree with that. They are a scary team for the Bills, whether they have a defense or offensive line or not.

Yeah, but just think of all the gaudy stats Burrow will put up. Burrow knows the team will be lucky to field a decent defense, but he will get his numbers and analysts will talk about how his defense let him down. The year Cincy had a good defense, that showed up in the playoffs, they went to the Super Bowl. Go figure.

Well, Burrow will be happy because he should be able to fill up the stat sheet again this year.

Oliver has underwhelmed. Groot is good, but disappeared when they needed him the most against KC. Floyd was invisible and a total non factor for much of he second half of his season here. Jones played well two years ago and was awful last year. Defensive line has been a weakness for years. You can't really deny that. They haven't been the worst in the league but they have been pretty poor for those part. Definitely played a big part in the failures of the team in the playoffs.

If you are gonna burn up that much cap space, might as well sign rotational guys that won't be out of action for at least a third of the year, no?

Big Baller Beane out there signing juicers to inflated contracts. Right on. 🤡

Hope he never sees the field other than an emergency situation. He is not a good starter at all, but at least knows tha system and can fill in for short periods. Would have preferred to move on from him, honestly, but here we are. If Bishop can't clearly keep him off the field, that is a terrible sign. A second round safety should be able to beat put Hamlin easily. If Bishop doesn't improve, and no clear upgrades are had, it will be deja vu next year with coverage.

I don't think anyone is saying he is a Pro Bowler. His salary shows what the league thinks of him. It is not a huge loss, but honestly he outplayed hyped up first rounder Kincaid and Pro Bowler Cooper by quite a large margin when it mattered,in KC. I can see why fans got a little attached to him. Other than Shakir, you could say nobody was really above jag level for us as far as receivers go. Mack outplayed his deal last year. I want the Bills to get better, but they have certainly wasted money on worse players than Hollins before. Not hugely upset with him leaving, but the WR room still looks iffy at the moment. Hopefully Palmer is not the best addition to the room.

Not a draft guru, but do you think this guy is head and shoulders above , say a third or fourth rounder in the draft? I could be wrong, of course. It is not a deal that will break the team, but I don't see him being better than most other jags. Once again, I could be way off base here and he could provide great value. It would certainly surprise me if he did, but it would be a pleasant surprise.

Seems like the kind of player they could get in the draft for less money. I don't know, I always hear about how these under the radar signings could be sneaky good, and they are usually flops. These signings seem insignificant until you look and see the team running out of cap space, like you said.

He definitely showed up against KC in the playoffs. Great touchdown catch. Made a lot more plays during the season than I expected. I think I would not have minded bringing him back at that rate. You know what you are getting with him, at least.

Players have shown over and over that winning is secondary to money. I am not criticizing them for it. Just saying, that's the reality of the situation. Browns are a dumpster fire. Good luck to them trying to win with no quarterback.
