No, it isn't. It's what a large number of players do in negotiations every single year. Just as often as the player doing that moving on - the negotiations get gets worked out, the player stays, and the social media is restored. Taking offense to it and viewing it as a personal FU to you is cringe, imo. If he was truly offended, he wouldn't gush about his growth. It's just be "James is a very good player and we'll see what happens on the business side.

That's a Beane question. To which he's already been asked. Pointed to the offense overall performing better after his addition and said he doesn't regret the move.

McDermott doesn't seemed bothered by what Cook has done so I don't know why fans are

I'll never understand fans that get so upset by this they go from loving a player to insulting them personally. It's just business. It isn't personal. Fans need to stop being so sensitive.

I don't need a detailed breakdown to know that the "Playoff Problem" isn't Josh Allen 😂

First of all, there's talk of them straight up cutting him - https://www.profootballrumors.com/2025/02/chargers-expected-to-move-on-from-joey-bosa And given his injury history, if Bosa is something you'd be looking at - you might as well just sign his partner the last few years in Khalil Mack. A few years older, but a cleaner injury history and an equal or greater impact.

I was going to say, I didn't think it was possible for someone 50 or younger to not have at least heard of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. There's been 6 studio movies. Three Live Action films in the early 90's. The first one was a MASSIVE success. Then Michael Bay did two movies in the mid 2000's or 2010's those were absolute trash. Seth Rogan did an animated film about a year back that was well received. And then there's been a million and a half cartoon series. Nah. Splinter is their surrogate father, trainer, and the one they answer to. But Leonardo's thebde facto leader of the team.

I don't think the 42 Dislikes are for re-signing James Cook. The 42 Dislikes (or at least most of them) have to do with you saying he's worth 15m a year and they should pay him 15m a year. If they do re-sign him, it won't be at 15m a year.

Hasn't been Tagged yet - but most believe it's coming.

Pegula would do whatever it took to make him happy. If he said "I can't work with this Head Coach and/or General Manager and I want out" - they're gone. When I see people talk about firing McDermott or Beane lately, I often say that the only way that would happen is if Josh says it's either them or me. I really don't see Josh being the type of guy to just decide "I want to leave Buffalo to become the King of LA". He's a private guy who doesn't like media attention. He loves it here. Hailee loves it here. Who knows what the future holds at the end of his career. But right now, in his prime, I don't see this as anything more than a bad dream that you wake up from.

I'm assuming you're joking. I'm 40 and the Turtles were popular and something I was into going back as far as I can remember. And they're still popular today. You'd have to be completely cut off from pop culture going on like 35 years to not have any idea who the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are.

Not so much "looking out for corporate" as it is stating facts. You've been making all these posts using terms like "IP" and "Infringement". Claiming it's a "brand issue and can be fixed up np". Implying there's some legal wrongdoing that should be remedied with you. When the fact of the matter is none of that applies to your situation, unless you've filed the name and own it. Sorry that he used the same name as your handle, but Joe doesn't owe you anything and it's more likely than not a coincidence. And again, even if it isn't, it's still not your 'IP' or 'Brand' unless you legally own it with the official paperwork to back that up.

So your "IP" and your "Brand" is literally just your username for this message board? Did you file for a Trademark/Copyright? If not, you have no claim to call it your "IP" or your "Brand". It's just a handle you go by. And whether he came up with the name coincidentally or he straight up thought your user name would be a good name - unless you got a copyright for it, he doesn't have to ask you and there's really nothing you can do about it. If you've got the Trademark, send him a cease and desist. If you don't, it's kind of embarrassing to be making a million posts calling him out for "infringing your brand" when no infringement has happened, as it's not your "IP".

Our QB is a Superhero and so is his fiancee.

Most of them are fitting too. Patrick Mahomes is a bit of a hot head like Raph. As evidenced by his disrespectful post game with Josh last season. Lamar Jackson is the more cool, reserved, level headed type like Donatello. And Josh is the quintessential leader type. Often taking on even more than he should as a leader.

The post raised my eyebrow as well. He's referring to this: https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/41753207/bills-rb-james-cook-questionable-toe-injury-plans-play https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/news/bills-james-cook-inactive-versus-jets/ Seems OP took the fact that the Agent spoke up and said he plans on playing when the team later decided not to play him as evidence that he'd be difficult in negotiations. Bit of a leap, in my opinion.

I'm not surprised. They're once again in really good shape with the cap this year and Burrow's been making noise about wanting them to make sure he sticks around. The Tag seemed inevitable, again.

The Kansas City Chiefs have had the same #1 WR for years. Travis Kelce is a Tight End in name only. He's as much a TE as Von Miller is a LB. He's a Big Slot WR.

You do realize that as important as the Defense was to the Eagles winning the Championship - them being able to score at will, run up the scoreboard, and put it out of the reach when the Defense was getting those stops, played just as much of a role as them winning, right? The Eagles having the tandem of AJ Brown (who they spent a 1st Round Pick on to acquire and signed to a 4 year 100m contract) and Devonta Smith (who they spent a Top 10 Draft Pick on) is as large of a reason as any that the Eagles deck was stacked for Super Bowl dominance.

Stop comparing Cook to Diggs. Diggs posted things that were shots at the team and Josh - to force his way out of a situation he didn't want to be in. James Cook is trying to get paid. These are not the same situations. Every single year, multiple players do the Social Media thing when their contract negotiations are happening. A lot of the time, they end up re-sigining and all is fine. Look at Brandon Aiyuk with the 49ers last season, as an example. It's just the way it is for young athletes in today's social media society. It's extemely common. I don't understand why fans like you take it as such an offense. For every "diva", there's probably two or three more that would do the same thing if their contract negotiations had gone poorly.

There was no bigger cheerleader for Xavier Legette pre-Draft than me. But if you're someone who feels underwhelmed by Keon Coleman - whoooo boy! Legette was worse. Not just statistically, but with many really bad critical drops. He has even more to prove than Coleman does. https://www.catscratchreader.com/2025/1/23/24350011/the-curious-case-of-xavier-legette

Sure, he can take Micah's spot on the Practice Squad and play the same amount. Edit: The Ravens won't need to cut him. He's a Free Agent. They traded a 6th Round Pick to the Rams for White and a 7th - on a 1 year contract that elapsed at the end of this past season. That said, my original point stands. The guys toast. He was getting beat by Keon Coleman and was moved on by the Rams on his 'prove it deal' with them - after being torched time and again by speed WR's.

Tee Higgins is talked about all the time. Just like he was last year.... before he was tagged. Joe Burrow is pushing hard to keep him. Like last year, they're in good shape cap wise. I'll believe he's actually available when there's no extension before Free Agency and they don't Franchise Tag him again by the deadline.

Huh? He missed almost two years of Football. He came back and started to look more like himself. But didn't fully look like his old self. He'd have extremely little trade value. Then there's the cap ramifications. Making his trade value even less. And the massive Dead Cap hit we'd take. It makes pretty much no sense, any way you slice it.
