The Celtics just sold for $6 billion.

If the tush push gets banned and the Eagles counter with this, give them the Super Bowl.

Super negative but it’s valid. I would say that if you have to blindly trust the bills on one things, it’s them to get the most out of a defensive back. That is McDermott’s specialty. They aren’t going to have him out wide on top WRs but will probably use him in special role. Fans are still on Gilmore for not smiling at the draft??? 😬 he honestly would have been the perfect addition but he will get more money from some other team because he’s still pretty good.

It’s all about expectations. If you expect him to be Tre White of his first few years, you’ll be disappointed. But if you expect him to be a depth cb, who will be a great leader on the team, it’s going to be hard to be disappointed. i will say this. He’s 2 years away from his last serious injury. Obviously, he’s lost a lot but I won’t be shocked to see him at his best in a few years. McDermott gets the most out of d backs as any coach in the league. it’s also a one year deal so who really cares?

He’s like the really hot girl who is past her prime who isn’t as attractive but doesn’t realize it. way too mid to be acting like this. He really did study Favre. He was once one of my favorite players but now I can’t stand the mention of his name.

Always a fan of the former good cb moving to S.

Never believe what the contract they announce is. Sheftner is pay by the agents to leak things so he announces the most the contract can be. “Up to” is the key phrase. Mostly he won’t get it but if he does, it is probably well earned because he played well and hit incentives.

Had to make sure it was legit!!! This makes me happy even if it may be a bit ceremonial. it sucks what injuries did to him. He was getting back to his old form and then got hurt again. Hopefully being a few years removed can get him back to 75% of his old self. at the absolute worst, it shows how loyal an organization the Bills are and players wanting to be in Buffalo. Great message for players around the nfl to hear.

These stories are so dumb. They had a terrible season. Of course, they blame the coach. 2 years ago, he hired Fangio, who the players ended up hating. Well, they look pretty dumb. I do agree that being a players coach can blow up in your face if you aren’t holding everyone accountable. But it all comes down to wins and losses. He is a very good offensive coach and I believe he gets the most out of their offensive talent. Miami has some major problems but he would be hired in a second as an OC and eventually get another head coaching job.

Yeah, that’s probably true. As someone who is firmly on Cook’s side (not for $15 mil but he earned an extension), RBs just get destroyed bu football. Hard to shake Marcus Lattimore. Bit you’re right, it would never work. I agree. He looks bad and definitely overvalued how valuable he was. I will say in a weird way if he plays well at UCLA (school I wish I went to), it might be better for his nfl future over Tennessee and their system.

I mean it’s been like that forever. Except the players bringing in millions/ billions were getting a dime. Imagine how much money Cam, Tebow, and Manziel (he’s a tool but still) lost out on jersey/ merch while getting millions for their schools and coaches. obviously, they need to fix the system but it’s blows my mind how many people take the side of schools/ teams instead of the players who put their bodies on the line (I would bet a lot of people who claim they are capitalists too “except in certain cases”). as someone who only got 4 years, I’m jealous of guys who get like 6 years. But we are going to see guys who had no chance to play in the pros, especially qbs (Bo Nix was garbage but got so many starts he was pro ready) since the nfl never developed a minor league system. And that will only help the nfl. I think RBs should be draft eligible right away. They lose out the more hits they take (college teams will run a guy into the ground) and RBs might be the easiest position to go pro in. Greed got him but it’s still $1.75 to play qb for a guy who may never be a nfl qb. I was with you but this should have happened a long time ago with the money they make. as a Buffalo kid, I’ve never cared as much about college as the pros. But it’s the second biggest American sports league. If they can put a limit on transfers and NIL, things will settle down.

Players definitely deserve to get paid (college football is a pro sport in a lot of places) but they have to fix this. This guy was very mid to be acting like this. I hear you but the flip side is you have coaches getting paid millions along with the schools getting money. a guy like Marcus Lattimore a stud at South Carolina blows out his knee and never has a nfl career. He shouldn’t get any more while millions are being made?

Love, love Ayomanor. Canadian, shaky qb play, destroyed Travis Hunter. Think he could be a faster Gabe Davis, which would be a damn good player. really like Noel and he’s going to a good player somewhere but a bit redundant for the Bills. royals is growing on me. Constantly has gotten better every year. love White as a Wr project, STer. Has tasker vibes. not the loaded group in past years but some potential really good players. Still wish this team had a stud number 1 because we have a great surrounding cast.

Honestly, I won’t hate it. Who cares about draft picks at this point? The sick part of me would enjoy seeing your reaction if they did this! 😎 I think you could make him a full time wr and an obvious passing down cb. I don’t think that is too crazy.

He’s a douche but he’s probably going to be a HOFer. Just not worth that money anymore. actually could see him being a good S.

I’m team Cook. Second best player on the offense (and maybe team last year). Best player in the championship game and maybe we win the game if he touches the ball more. fans need to remove their feelings. Cook say his brother’s career end at 27. Every good player in his class got a new deal and he’s arguably been the best at his position of all of them. totally understand the problem with paying RBs but Cook has earned a new deal. I’m sure there is a happy median. But for a SB contender to let their 2nd best offensive threat leave would be a tough thing to watch. Especially when that player has gotten better every year Well said. Cook has barely spoken his first couple of years. Everyone who has known him has nothing but positive things about the guy.

Honestly, their rebuild was pretty impressive. They had maybe the least talented roster I have seen like 5 years ago. They swung big and some hit, some didn’t (like the Rams). They are in a no win situation with Tua. He is good enough to justify a contract when he plays but you know he isn’t going to win a big cold weather game and he can get hurt on any given play. they need to trade guys like Ramsey (washed, douche) and Hill (ugly, terrible human being) but unfortunately, with their contracts and age, they are in a tough spot for much return. And Tua isn’t a good enough qb to carry a team.

Eh, Barkley was barely better than Peterman. Two of the worst qbs to play in a long time. i personally like the guy who can play in the league vet (Andy Dalton) or the upside guy. I hate our backups and we are blessed Allen is made of steel.

Can’t believe the Pats traded their best QB!!! Kidding (kinda). I like some of Maye’s skills and he certainly better than MacJones. But man, the way Pats fans (looking at you Bill Simmons) have hyped him, you’d swear he was Manning or Luck. and I know he struggles to put it together but I would love a guy with his skills to learn under Josh. Our backups stick and it could be future tradebait. Milton is why I hated the Josh Allen pick - the toolsy guy who never put it together. It’s why Allen is such a unicorn because these guys fail all the time. But on paper, Milton has an absolute cannon, size, and speed. But as with most of those guys, he lacks consistency and touch,

He was also 3rd in runs over 40 yards (behind Barkley and Henry with over less carries) and 8th in runs over expected value ( https://nextgenstats.nfl.com/stats/rushing#ryoeAtt ) I think sometimes fabs get too emotional about things that don’t really matter. All of those things happening now are negotiations. Cook has as much leverage as he will ever have and doesn’t want to go into the final year of his deal on this contract, after seeing all the other players from his draft class get paid. The Bills are hesitate to pay a rb big money. But I think Bills are selling Cook short on how explosive he was with no real explosive threats in the receiving group to make his job easier. Obviously NFL contracts need to be take with a grain of salt but who is more deserving of 3 years for $36 million for what they have accomplished in the NFL - Josh Palmer or Cook? also, that contract would be like 4% of the Bills salary cap. Cook isn’t worth 4%to a team trying to make the SB?

I like Davis (friend lives near him says he couldn’t be a nicer guy). But he’s barely younger than Cook and I worry he lacks the explosive. also given Cook’s td numbers, he got a lot of short yardage work as well. It’s a tough situation for both the Bills and Cook. He was an absolute stud for us and plays the position with the shortest lifespan in the nfl. He needs to get paid sooner than later. I also get where the Bills are coming from as well. I really hope they can find a compromise because Cook gets better every season.

You are doing (or saying McDermott) hypotheticals. There are plenty of plays guys could get hurt on. Every goal line situation is a car crash. Should that get banned too? and I know you get really sensitive any possible criticism of the Bills but I was talking about the league as a whole. The team that won the SB does a play that every team can do but do it better than everyone else. It needs to be banned!

Who knows? Rico Dowdle averaged 4.6 ypc and Cook is a better player than him. also, Davis averaged a full ypc less on almost 100 less Carries. Backups RBs tend to good ypc because they are counter punchers after the starter comes out. this board just seems really tough on Cook. A lot of fans were trying to replace him last year. And for as good as Allen and the o line is, we have slow WRs who don’t scare defenses. Cook is a very good rb. He helps the Bills as much as we help him. The 3rd down thing is valid but is that also a game plan thing as well? Cook definitely looked fresher last year than previous years. He was an absolute monster in the title game. He also has had almost 500 yards receiving in a season so it’s not like he’s not capable. every time any rb got the ball besides Cook last year, it was a downgrade and we have solid backups. Cook is just way more explosive.

We have Allen. I thought we moved past the dark days of Brian Moorman being our best player. Who cares about punters? Easiest job in pro sports. Zero pressure.

Great posts. Obviously, Dalvin is being loud about it but he saw it first hand. Keeper dynasty leagues I have had both Cooks. Dalvin Cook had 1500 total yards, 10 tds, including an 81 yd td run in front of me that flipped the Bills game, at age 27 and he was basically done after that season. so yeah if I’m Cook, I’m going do what it takes to get a contract extension rather than “trust” a team to pay me.
