A fair question, I was wondering the same

Who is this upgrade that you speak of?

Brandon shell has a lot of starts under his belt I think maybe you’re looking at the fact that he wasn’t resign by Miami as some kind of pointer that he isn’t good Would probably be the best back up tackle we have had in a while

Isn’t he in a contract year?

I don’t see that happening management loves Gabe Davis says nothing but glowing things about him constantly and he doesn’t have a huge cap hit this year. Not to mention the fact that he’s playing in a contract year so he’s going to ball out.

Would love to know your thought process on this

I was listening to this conversation by Joe Marino, and he pointed out the different ways. The Kansas City could also pull levers on extensions. I want the bills to be in this, but I don’t want them to live massively overpay

Unless DeAndre Hopkins specifically wants to come to Buffalo Kansas City can beat our offer I think Would love to have him, but we don’t need him You started off this conversation wondering why the pegulas the Sabres and the bills don’t get criticized and feel that that should be a regular thing You started the conversation All I am simply asking from you is to name a team and a radio station that criticizes them that is of similar set up to the bills and WGR

Then give some teams and radio stations that criticize them You’re the one making the claim burden of proof is on you

If you feel it is inaccurate then give some examples And let’s try not to use a team that wins like two games every year and never makes the playoffs

Well, I guess that is everybody’s gripe right and they’re not the best team in football every year I mean, that’s not entitlement or anything

WGR is the flagship station of the Buffalo Bills. If you go to any NFL city and you have a station that is the flag station of the team, they act in exactly the same way. So, once again, I ask, could you please give a specific gripe other than media is nice to the team

I’m pretty pleasantly surprised at the amount of players that we were able to get for a minimum deals And not just scrubs good NFL players

OK so let’s keep this going The Sabres haven’t been very good for a long time. I don’t follow hockey, but they seem to want some games last year. On the football side, you’re gonna have to be a little bit more specific on what your gripe is

What exactly do you want them to be critical of the pegulas about

Do you get ever tired of being wrong?

We’re definitely going to lose some games I just don’t know which ones Don’t wanna go undefeated anyway losing brings lessons and hunger Do you want to get it out-of-the-way before you get to the playoffs?

I don’t look at it as just additions and subtractions for our own team Keep in mind that that’s not done in a vacuum the other teams in the league are getting better and worse

Yeah, that might have been due to the injuries of which we had a ton

This is why I always wait until the start of the season before I evaluate what the Brandon is done in the off-season If we were told that shell was brought in as one of our actual free agents during free agent time as a insurance in policy, people would’ve been thrilled Instead, we didn’t bring one in during the free agent time and we didn’t draft one during the draft. They are mostly guards in the draft. But Brandon is always working. Shell is an excellent pick up at this point

I’ll tell you what I expect for our current right tackle ball out but in case he doesn’t I sure am glad that they made this move Brandon shell has started a lot of games in the NFL

Honestly, this wasn’t directed to you just add to the conversation as a whole This was the best guard in the draft in my opinion

There is absolutely a possibility that we don’t get DeAndre Hopkins the Chiefs could get him, but that would’ve been no different than all the other general managers who were waiting for the price whatever was being asked to come down Brandon been has done a lot this off-season with very little money to work with even the small acquisition of tackle Brandon shell today was big that guy has started a lot of games at right tackle

I would be totally OK if this ended up being the ceiling But why are we automatically going to assume that that is the ceiling? I see this guys story and I don’t know what his ceiling is. Let’s remember he went to the hardest division of college football, and never gave up a sack and on top of that he doesn’t commit penalties so that he doesn’t give up sacks I think there’s a very good possibility that he could end up being an all pro

Now this is why people are ***** with you. Yes, a general manager should get credit for doing nothing whenever everybody else in the league is also doing nothing, and giving up assets. If been can simply sign Hopkins without giving up draft picks, that would be better no?
