  1. I get the impreston that those two moves would spike up the Run Defense. Let me know if they do anything like.
  2. I hope so. I vowed in 2009 to never buy any Bills merchandise until the finish a season above .500. My stuff is wearing thin and I'd like to refresh. The minute they get to 9 wins I'll be on the buffalo Bills store. Website.
  3. We've been through this multiple multiple times. 1.) Whaley has been very straightforward. There will be no first round QB in 2014. Doesn't matter how many times you ask, the answer is still no. Grow up. 2.) Whaley is in a great spot as a GM because if A.) EJ sucks he can say it was Nix' QB and Whaley gets to take a crack at drafting a franchise QB in 2015 or beyond. B.) EJ develops into a franchise QB that wins championships Whaley can say that he really picked EJ. Whaley doesn't have to commit one way or the other until OBD determines that they need to draft a QB in the first. Don't ask again because the answer will be the same.
  4. I will bet you any amount of money this doesn't happen.
  5. Yeah the idea that it would take years until the Bills are sold idea was silly. When was the last time an NFL franchise became available for purchase? The Browns? There are Billionaires around the Planet that want to own an NFL franchise. It's like if Mario Williams killed Marsha Brady during a game. Everyone would say "The poor, grieving widow Gisselle. It will take her years to get over the loss, in time she may find a new man." In reality on Day 1 there would be a line of swantz around the building trying to tap that. There is a line of swantz around OBD trying to tap that, guaranteed.
  6. Revis Island is right where you want it.
  7. They're pretty straight forward about the risks. Risks Relating to EJ Manuel EJ Manuel's NFL player contract is a significant portion of the current amounts we would receive under his brand contract. The profitability of EJ Manuel's brand contract is substantially dependent upon EJ Manuel's ability to enter into additional multi-year NFL player contracts, and high-value, on his ability to successfully attract and retain endorsements during his playing career and thereafter significantly in excess of amounts he has attracted historically and/or generate other brand income after his playing career. EJ Manuel has incurred other secured debt, including mortgage payables, the payment of which may adversely impact his ability to make payments under the brand contract. EJ Manuel may suffer from an injury, illness or a medical condition; any injuries, illnesses or medical conditions of EJ Manuel may affect the cash received by us under the brand contract. Future negative publicity could damage EJ Manuel's reputation and impair the value of his brand. https://fantex.com/about Maybe I'll put a couple hundo on there and see if I can double up.
  8. Yes the 10% appears to be only endorsement deals. Not the NFL contract.
  9. An agent gets a 10% cut of a players endorsement deals. Basically EJ has made a deal with this company to get $4.7 million upfront today for 10% of future earnings. The company then sells shares of that 10%. The real shady business is that they create the exchange and self regulate the market which is where the risk for any "investors" money to go "poof" increases. I don't want to know the musculature of EJ but I want to know the background of the people running the market. If they have bit coin on their resume is be worried. Also if the contract with the player is structured where the company gets 10% of future earnings but there are no conditions to have an active exchange. They could just fold the exchange but still get paid off if future endorsements. So Davis will get additional endorsement deals in the future, even after he retires, and this company, like an agent, gets 10% of that deal.
  10. It actually doesn't make sense #9 and #41 is all you need to move to #4. So if you use #9, the 3rd round pick, and SJ13 it then makes sense. Although greater question is if you have Josh Gordon, Greg Little, and Jordan Cameron wtf do you want with SJ13 but don't let logic get in the way of fan fiction.
  11. You have to look at the delta in the draft class and the opportunity to draft a player with similar potential later in the draft. Foolish people get caught up with the number of the draft pick. There is no guarantee that #3 draft pick is better than #4 or the #104 draft pick. The Bills only statement that matters is wins. Moving up is a meaningless statement if they do it for a player you can easily find later in the draft. Generally if you spend two 1sts on one player it better be a franchise QB or a once in a generation player. Clowney has been hyped since he was 16 years old as that type of player. I can't tell you if he is or not but a player with that type of potential would be an exception to the 2 1sts for a QB rule. Trading up two 1sts for a RT, TE or LB would be beyond stupid. As much as Robinson, Ebron, and Mack are hyped. There are players that will be pro-bowl players at Rt, TE, and LB that are drafted in the 3rd round of the 2014 draft. You'd basically be spending extra picks on ESPN hype.
  12. 1.) Bryd was never the highest paid safety in the NFL 2.) Byrd clearly did not want to play in Buffalo. If you have doubt of this, you haven't been paying attention the last 2 years. 3.) Byrd will never play out the contract the Saints gave him. He might play 3 years of that 6 year contract. Maybe. 4.) Byrd has zero measurable impact to wins and losses. The Bills were 6-10 with him, I think they could be 6-10 without him. 5.) Byrd is not a Buffalo Bill anymore and will not be a Buffalo Bill any time soon. F him.
  13. Romo has proven without a doubt that 1.) he is not a clutch QB. 2.) He can not win a championship. There should be no doubt in anyone's mind about this. Romo is the problem on the Cowboys. He has great weapons and a great line. You put EJ on that team and they go further in the playoffs. Seriously the jury has come back a few years ago. The Judge has read the decision. The Courtroom has cleared out but Jerrah is still waiting to hear what he wants to hear. The Romo experiment was a failure and the GM of the Dallas Cowboys should have moved on years ago. He is not a reclamation project of any value.
  14. Someone called the Rams (Foolish) trade for Tavon Austin last year, prior to the draft. I thought they were smoking crack. Who would trade that much for Ted Ginn Jr. II but I was wrong on that. Who called that trade? Lets ask him what his prediction is, this year.
  15. If Romo were a free agent I wouldn't bring him into camp to kick the tires. Honestly it only seems that Romo is paid what he is paid because Jerrah thinks that the Cowboys QB should be one of the highest paid QBs in the league. If they cut Romo in 2011 I don't think there would be many teams lining up to sign him and zero willing to pay him what the Cowboys paid him. Romo is a product of Jerrah's imagination.
  16. Actually I think ICANSLEEPWHENIMDEAD is on to something. A lot of stuff gets entered into public record through lawsuits like this. That's how the NFL relocation policy was made visible to everyone, through the Minnesota negotiations. If someone has the resources it wouldn't hurt to see what FOIA request will get you in that case.
  17. You're vastly over estimating Ebron. It's crazy that you hold this type of opinion. Ebron is not special in anyway shape or form. He is an average TE prospect. I don't understand the hype. He is not overly fast, tall or productive.
  18. This numbers are very good. They have been posted and reposted in the various Ebron threads. That 11.43 Drop rate of Ebron is pretty damning and not easily excused away. The bigger point is Ebron has nothing special or there isn't a great differentiator and since we are all but guaranteed that one of these TEs will be available at #41. So why would you take a non special player at his position at #9 overall? I have no idea but as a GM I would be targeting Jace Amaro or Troy Niklas in the second.
  19. Good point, so actually I was wrong, Ten at #11 could be a better place to draft a QB based on the cost of the 5th year option. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/nfl-draft-scout/22037047/nfl-draft-yearfive-option-makes-qbs-more-valuable
  20. Good Point. Although The Bills, lions and Giants aren't drafting a QB at 9,10,12, so even if Ten takes a QB the #2 QB will be there at #13 which is considerable cheaper than a Top 10 pick. The Bills do get the benefit having the 5th year option for a QB in the Top 10. If you're going to draft a guy that you think will be a Franchise QB have him locked up for 5 years is a big deal.
  21. If Ebron goes Top 8 I will be doing a happy dance! That would be the best thing that could possibly happen to the Buffalo Bills. 3 QBs and Ebron in Top 8 please!
  22. . . . or the clock might expire on their pick and they might get skipped.
  23. Byrd was never the highest paid safety.
  24. Should the Bills trade the #9 overall for Skelton?
