Considering the Jets have 16.8m in cap space where the Raiders wouldn't have to eat anything, a 2nd Round pick considered to be worlds better than either of ours, and a quality Edge Rusher in Hassan Reddick who they're just paying to sit out (if the Raiders want him), if it's true that Adams wants to go there and they want him there - we aren't going to be able to touch them without giving up something we wouldn't possibly give up for him. As the one talking head said, it seems inevitable and just a matter of time before he's a Jet. If it's not them, someone else like the Commanders who also have the money to cover it themselves and a better 2nd Round Pick will get it done.

It's in there. You just have to go back a number of pages. It's a 30 page thread.

We only kept 4 DT's on the 53 going into this season. 2 1T's and 2 3T's. I think that's why they signed that guy off the Falcons Practice Squad. Pretty thin there. Though for this week, being a Rookie who just got here, I'd doubt he's active. And at 314, he may be more of a 1T. So, yeah, if anybody goes down at 3T, we're down to 1 active player on the roster. So it will have to be Carter and Deen this weekend.

While I don't doubt Beane called, as he's said he checks in on everything, a trade for Adams doesn't make a lot of sense to me. The asking price is a 2 plus more consideration (probably a Day 3 Pick as well). That's not taking into account them also eating a large portion of the contract, which would be necessary in our case. That would cost even more. I don't see us being the only team interested and most every other team will have a better 2nd to offer than how ours and Minnesota's picks are perceived to be. If he's acquired, we either would have to take on the massive ramifications of next year and the following year - I don't see that. Or we'd let him go following this year to get out from under that - which I don't see us paying that kind of cost for a 1 year rental. Or we'd have to give a 32 year old WR a newly re-worked deal to keep him on the books. I'm not sure I see him doing that either, as WR is not like a situational pass rusher or an Offensive Lineman that can get long in the tooth. On top of that, Adams is Diggs like. A WR that demands touches or he'll become a problem. At times on the sideline with larger outbursts than even Diggs. Beane made a point to not have that kind of personality in the locker room to allow Allen to work more freely with the ball. To then add another big personality WR seems uncharacteristic of how Beane operates. While I wouldn't be opposed to him coming here, I have a hard time imagining it happening. I echo the sentiment that a WR like Cooper, Hopkins, Sutton, or someone else we haven't considered would be more likely. I think Beane will keep an eye on things a little longer and re-evaluate at the Trade deadline.

START at both our 2nd Round Picks? For a 32 year old WR that we'd either be renting for one season (as his money beyond this year isn't guaranteed) or signing to a new massive contract - that would cost way more than both Rookies that we'd have for at least 4 years? Plus more? That's madness.

Adams has wanted to be traded since last season. Screaming it from the Sidelines even. The Raiders haven't budged. Now a report comes out that they'd "consider" it if their price is met. They've never been desperate to move him and I don't think they're desperate now, or at least not yet. Asking for a 2nd plus more straight up and moving him for just a 2nd while also eating the amount it would take to make it work for us is a rather large differential. And it would also take no one offering more than a 3rd. Our 2nd is viewed as essentially a Top 3rd Round pick, regardless of last week. The head of Spotrac was just on WGR and he said The Commanders make the most sense to him if he's moved. They can take on his contract as is and will most likely have a better 2nd than either of our 2nds. They also are doing better than they probably expected to this season and their weapons are lacking even worse than ours.

The price is a 2nd and more for them to "consider" it. If we're asking them to eat a bunch of the deal too, it would be even more than that.

We'd still need to cover his current contract before we can do any sort of restructure/extension to lower the number. You can't touch someone's contract before they're a member of the team. Maybe they'll be willing to eat some of it as part of the deal. But they aren't going to extend or restructure his deal for us. If we were to pull out, they'd be stuck with him on a contract that fits our situation.

I really wanted us to Draft Braelon Allen. He seemed to be the perfect contrast to Cook in my eyes and he was only one of a few RB's we met with at the Combine. The Jets obviously thought the same, Drafting him after Ray Davis to compliment Breece Hall (a very similar back to Cook). He's turning heads in New York and many are calling for him to be the lead Back over Hall - https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/news/jets-braelon-allen-outplaying-hall-as-rusher/ It's still early for Davis and he may turn out to be the better Back. But 4 games in, i'm still scratching my head on Davis over Allen.

The frustrating thing about Bass this year is that his bad performances are always an afterthought. Either we won so soundly, complaining about the Kicker seems silly. Or in tonight's case where everything and everyone went so wrong, complaining about the Kicker seems silly.

The funny thing is those guys probably look at that song like it's an Oldie.

Who gets the credit for that Sack? God knows Von can't get credit for any positive play he makes around here.

There's no way we can field a powerful offense with these weapons....

Bills games are a family affair for me. If I don't watch the game with my old man, he gets legitimately disappointed. It's one of the only things we bond over and have in common. There are times where I wish I could just watch on my own and relax at my place. But I know I'll miss these times when he's gone.

Good to have a contingency plan in place. But we really should have just taken the medicine and moved on. We could have signed Jake Bates (Lions) from the UFL or Drafted Will Reichard (Vikings), Cam Little (Jaguars), or Josh Karty (Rams). At this point, even if Bass continues to be the player we saw last season and through Training Camp - the options to replace him aren't going to be much better.

Josh is Coordinator dependent? How does he figure? Because we fired one coordinator midseason?

Idk about that. The WR market is insane and there's not a trait that drives price more than youth coming off a Rookie contract. If Gabe Davis and Darnell Mooney got 13m a year, I don't think Khalil Shakir with the skills he's been showing on National stages, coming off of his first deal - is going to be a small contract market. He's a Slot, so that could help. But it's not going to be a bargain, especially if he wants to test his market.

Agreed. Though in spreading them out, it can only be this coming offseason or the following offseason. Which then brings Greg Rousseau into the equation also. Good problem to have and we have all those players through next season regardless. But keeping all 5 is going to be tough proposition.

I do too. The issue is that Draft Class has so many Post Round 1 hits, are we going to be able to extend them all? Benford may or may not be Priority 1. All these players were Drafted in the same class and all their contracts come due at the same time. And they're all going to be pricey. James Cook Terrel Bernard Khalil Shakir Christian Benford

I was bullish on Braelon Allen in the Pre-Draft process for us. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed that we went with Davis instead. But I trust Beane to get the guys he thinks fits the team and schemes best. I like what I've seen from Davis in the Pre-Season and the few spots we've deployed him during the Regular Season. Hopefully he continues to ascend and makes me look silly for wanting Allen instead.

Gotcha. Honestly, he scares me so little - I didn't even think of him. Decent player, but people were really saying he was going to wreak havoc on us? He's a guy somewhere between AJ Epenesa and Greg Rousseau to me.

I quoted this before, but now that I've watched the whole video - with all due respect to you, this is NOT a good breakdown. He said some jaw dropping stuff in there that had me wondering if he was one of the NFL Doctors in Will Smith's 'Concussion' movie or was vying to be the next fired "Independent Neurologist" patsy for the league. A guy losing consciousness and going into the fencing position doesn't mean it's a severe concussion? That flies in the face of every other concussion specialist who's spoke on it. Just because it looked bad doesn't mean it will be a multi week, prolonged absence from playing? Are you kidding me? You'd clear him in a week? These analysis' seem more in line with the reality:

For his future and his future with his kids, I really hope he retires. This is his 4th concussion in less than 2 years. They say it's 3, but we all know he took one against us before the infamous first Posturing/Fencing incident. No concussion is good. But this is the second time his brain has made his body react in this horrifying manor. I honestly worry for his life if he continues. And there's more to life than Football.
