I think they'll offer him a contract that they think is fair for his age and production and what they believe he can do going forward. If he doesn't like that I suspect the Bills will gladly take the compensatory pick in 2026 and move on and draft another guy in the 2025 draft.

They have a shot against them if Jones isn’t playing and if Pickens is at full strength. I expect, I know shocking a close game

But Beane did pay him his worth, he just let someone else put in the work for him before doing it. Thats in his power when a player is a restricted free agent. He could have retained him for much cheaper with the restricted offer he gave him. Thats just smart general managing. The situation is different because Cooper isn't restricted

I dont understand the example. Bates was a Restricted Free Agent and had an offer from the Bears, the Bills matched it and kept Bates and then traded him later to the Bears. Bates didn't have a choice in the matter at all like Cooper will.

I would have never have guessed he would have become this good in the NFL. I thought he would be a great pass catching RB in the NFL and be a back by committee guy when he was coming out of Georgia. I wonder how successful he would be on another team that didn't have a guy like Josh Allen on it. Thats not selling his talent short by any means as he is a home run hitter for us but having teams game planning for a guy like Allen helps our run game and vice versa to be honest.

I expect the Jets to play us tough and at times their defense can cause problems still especially if we are going to play in vanilla. They were flying around a bit yesterday against the Rams making some nice tackles in the open field. Offense at times looks like it has a pulse but then regresses. I see a close game that we pull away late on.

I actually think that his first half was very average but the whole team was like that yesterday. Picked things up in the 2nd half.

Buddy needs 2.5 points in the 2nd half from Jayden Reed to get into the finals. He's sweating bullets right now.

It is a very deep edge draft pool and the DTs are not bad either. One thing I like about Beane is he matches his weaknesses with the strengths of drafts. It wouldn’t surprise me to see multiple edge or defensive tackles in this draft

I get it he knows the system and he’s a vet but if we’re going to let Milano and Williams heal then start giving some reps to the guys who might be around long term in Ulofoshio and Andreessen

They used him like they did in college yesterday. I watch him because I liked him a lot coming out of Utah and they ran more man yesterday. On certain scenarios he was covering Tight Ends, playing down in the box making tackles and they sent him on a couple of blitzes. Ended up being 2nd on the team in tackles yesterday including a TFL and was on Henry down near the goal line. A much better performance from him yesterday than what I’ve seen previously

I suspect the guys that can go will go against the Jets as their "final tune up" before hopefully getting the week off against the Pats.

McDermott said in the presser both of them were nicked up and with Milano out they wanted Spector to play run downs and Williams to play 3rd downs. Then Spector couldn’t go and Williams came on the field full time. I saw Andreessen get a snap too and looked like he was in on the tackle

It is if the Bills beat the Jets. If the Chiefs beat the Steelers and Bills beat the Jets the Bills will be 13-3 and the Ravens will be 11-5 with one week to play locking the Bills into the 2 seed

If you want a better chance of avoiding Baltimore in the Divisional round you are really pulling for Pittsburgh over Kansas City and Houston over Baltimore. If Houston can beat Baltimore it gives them the tiebreaker for the 3 seed over Baltimore with the H2H and they would have the same record. Obviously a Pittsburgh win is two fold, keeps Baltimore in the WC spot and helps the Bills have a chance at the 1 seed. Correct, and the only way the Bengals make it is if Denver loses out, Indy loses one, and Miami loses one.

Terrible for the Bucs to lose that game. I still think they win the South because the Falcons aren't that good especially with a rookie starting but the Bucs are inconsistent just like that whole division so who knows.

Maybe confused with 2025 cap space vs 2026 cap space? I haven't looked to be honest.

I think their thought is that they can win these games without having to put guys who are nicked up at risk. Hence starting the guys they started. Almost bit them but it didn't they won today.

Might get a little flak for this because we're still in season but I'm all for it. I wont get into who's # 1 vs # 4 in the priority list but I believe the Bills will try to re-sign Rousseau, Benford, Shakir, and Bernard. Cook might be playing himself into a contract but not sure how high the Bills will go to retain him. I expect Douglas to walk for sure and I think they will offer Cooper a contract and we'll see if his happy to just be winning schtick is for real or not but seems like a genuine likable guy who cares about it more than stats. We shall see. As for the draft, its very early because we dont have a clear picture of who is declaring yet but my priorities for the Bills are High Priority: Defensive End Defensive Tackle Cornerback Medium Priority: Wide Receiver Linebacker Safety Low Priority: Tight End Running Back Backup QB I have not done a full fledged scout obviously as its still early and we don't have near enough information yet on prospects but some players I like are: Mike Green DE Marshall Danny Stutsman LB Oklahoma Jordan Burch DE/DT Oregon Nic Scourton DE Texas A&M Andrew Mukuba SAF Texas Mason Taylor TE LSU (Can return to school) Shavon Revel CB East Carolina (Wouldn't make it to Bills pick but got seriously injured so there is a chance) Tre Harris WR Miss Tory Horton WR Colorado State Omarion Hampton RB North Carolina Fadil Diggs DE Syracuse Jackson Woodard LB UNLV

I think he will be a solid NFL QB. They lack pretty much everything else besides secondary players. I think they will be the next team to challenge the Bills for the division but it will be in a couple of years. I wasn't as high on Maye as many others and compared him to Darnold but Darnold aint been so bad this year for the Vikings lol.

Give me Cook Rousseau Bass

I agree that Douglas play has dropped off as well. I'm hoping its just a blip but I would much rather see Douglas out there than watch Elam out there in playoff time. The teams starting CB is not on the current roster next year

I think the Bills remember last year against the Chiefs and dont want a repeat of that and feel that they can get by the Patriots and the Jets without forcing our main guys that are nicked to play heavy reps in these games. Almost got caught today but we didn't. I suspect if this was a more important game a lot of the injured guys would have played today.

Part of CB play is to be able to track a football and make a play on it. You know who he reminds me of. Leodis McKelvin. Had all the athleticism in the world and could hang with any WR in the game but when it was him and the WR with the ball in the air the WR was going to come away with it the vast majority of the time.

The TD and the two Pass Interference calls he was in man coverage.
