If Ted Rogers didn’t died of a heart attack in 2008, they’d be the Toronto Bills.

Moon being better than Kelly? C’mon. And those Marino Miami teams were as stacked as the 90’s Bills teams and we smoked them every year because our QB was twice as tough as theirs.

Pick #30 probably just got a little more valuable. Saints, Giants, Browns will potentially all be looking to move up to end of 1st round to get the 2nd tier QB (Dart, Millroe, Shough) of their choice.

The Hurts comparison is where you lose me. He walked into a stacked roster and there’s probably 12-15 other QB’s who could’ve won a super bowl with that Eagles team. Heck, they’d be just as good with Justin Fields. Kelly turned the entire franchise around. Bills were the laughingstock of the NFL before Kelly. He also routinely out-played and beat other Hall of Fame QB’s of his era.

We don’t have enough draft capital to get to pick 2. Would have to get somebody like Dallas to trade us pick 12 first Cook and pick 30. Then with pick 12 we’d have to package both our 2nd rounders and next years 1st. Ask it’d be Cook, pick 30, pick 56, pick 62 and next years 1st. Not worth it for a non-QB no matter how good he is.

forrest was brought in for league minimum and bishop showed next to nothing. Hamlin is getting paid experienced backup money. Not sure what Simmons has left in tank, but definitely need for a talent infusion at safety.

I think Aaron Jones is the best comp for Cook. Not really an every down workhorse but still very valuable. That $10-12m per year seems to be the sweet spot for a Jones/Cook type back. I’m sure Beane could put some incentives in there so the deal can be announced as $15m per year but it’s really $10-12m per year, so I’d guess Cook ain’t budging and Beane is waiting for him to come to his senses.

Beane typically out-thinks himself and gets too cute trying to marry BPA and need in the first 2 rounds. He’s more than offset that with the josh pick and that he typically nails the 4th through 6th rounds. Trade up to 17 or 18 with one of our 2nd’s if one of your top 10-12 players is still left regardless of position.

Cook and our 1st for Parsons.

I think Beane kills the 4th, 5th, and 6th rounds. Let him cook with those 7 picks and fill the roster with good depth and potential starters. To me, picks 30, 56, and 62 needs to produce 1 or 2 studs regardless of position. Go up to the teens and get a dude like Jihaad Campbell. We need studs regardless of position. Beane tends to try a little too hard to marry need and BPA with his 1st and 2nd round picks.

I got no problems with Cook’s stance. This is his one and only chance for a huge deal, but Beane still holds most of the cards. Holding out will not help Cook get a bigger contract. If I’m Beane, I agree to let Cook hit free agency next year if he’s a good soldier this year and doesn’t hold out.

Bills hold most of the cards here. I’m sure Beane is cool letting Cook play out this year then letting him hit free agency since paying RB’s is not a winning strategy. And in a RB heavy draft, I’m sure Beane would also happily take a 2nd rounder this year and find his replacement in a good draft for RB’s.

Maybe Dallas swaps their 1st for ours if Jeanty gets taken before pick 12. Cowboys are desperate for a big splash. Bills get a stud on defense at pick 12 and draft Cooks replacement with one of our 2nd rounders.

Pats are losing their minds. A 31/32 year old WR who tore his ACL 5 months ago and whose game relies on quickness in and out of his cuts is a horrible bet. Oh and he’s a distraction waiting to happen.

If Milano is taking a paycut, not sure how Knox isn’t next. $10m is a huge over-pay for Knox’s production.

Signing 2 guys who both have 6 game suspensions is bizarre to say the least, but it’s a long season and it might be nice to have 2 rested vet linemen for the back half of the season.

He’s not getting more than $18m per year or somebody would most likely trade something to GB for his contract. Since he played so little last year you could structure a contract heavy on incentives similar to Bosa.

No idea how 5 draft picks make this roster much less 10.

True. I guess it’s asking too much for these podcasters to do 5 minutes of research to find out Coleman’s Head Coach and GM called him out for not being same player after the injury.

I am actually surprised the Bills came to an agreement with 2 players the first day of the tampering period. Shows McBeane must’ve really wanted Palmer and Hoecht.

Kind of bizarre that he goes on some podcast and gets slobbered over how mature he was dealing with his injury when McBeane have publicly stated the opposite. Coleman had every opportunity to correct the podcasters and say he had some growing up to do but instead took their praise in stride. Shows a lack of maturity on Coleman’s part and lack of any prep work by the podcasters.

Will be nice to have a 270 pounder that can play in the back 7. Tired of watching our undersized linebackers and DB’s getting injured all the time trying to take on bigger players.

don’t be cruel.

Cook following his brothers playbook. Threatened a holdout after year 3 which resulted in a 5 year $63m deal. He got cut 3 years later and was washed up after his 6th year in League. I don’t blame Cook for wanting as much as he can get right now. A Running Backs shelf life is extremely short. If everyone is taking slightly less than market value though, might have to deal him if he’s insisting on $15m per year. I’m sure Dallas would give us a 2nd rounder
