  1. Beat me to it. Just shows how little the quoted posted understands about contracts and team building. Restructuring the way Josh and Von get restructured is a BONUS for the player. Players WANT to restructure that way. To say he wouldnt as some sort of punishment to the team is just silly.
  2. For anyone that was attending a college in the 1997-1998 school year, it is a piece of our history.
  3. I get it. It was also the official anthem at Sunny's in Fredonia while I was there. Great (hazy) memories and nostalgia.
  4. Take it a step further, Cincy has a 1A and 1B because they got their QBs knee blown out and they tanked a season. If Buffalo fans want that, then I dont know what to tell them. Also, they wont have a 1A and 1B for long. They'll be lucky to get one more season out of them before losing at least one of them. For Philly, someone needs to list all the botched investments they made at WR before finally trading for Brown. And Bills fans can decide how they'd feel about Beane after all that. So to recap. If we want to be like Cincy or Philly, then we need to have Josh go down with a season ending injury and/or make a bunch of bad 1st round picks at WR before doubling down and investing even more into the position via trade from the other conference. Not a great plan either way, imo. I'll stick to being patient with Beane as he picks and chooses his opportunities.
  5. Definitely the POTUSA
  6. Nice, yeah, I figured most streaming services were similar. So whichever you are using. Great place to dig without much investment.
  7. First off, great post. And great point. There is a lot of great new music out there. The trouble is finding it. Radio isnt the place to find new music anymore regardless of genre. Radio is only playing whatever iHeart/Sinclair/Whoever is being paid the most to play. It's impossible for new artists to get played on the radio. Radio isnt launching any careers, too much risk in maybe not making money. They only play what pays. I've found a TON of new, fresh, modern rock thanks to Spotify. My recommendation for folks looking for new music: Go to your favorite artist's spotify page, for example Queens of the Stone Age, then go to the Queens of the Stone Age Radio playlist and/or the "Fans also like..." section. From there, you can find great new bands like The Black Angels and Band of Skulls. Take it a step deeper by going to those bands' Radio Playlists and "Fans also like...", and boom, endless supply of new music.
  8. Apparently Josh, for being so disrespected. Yeah...
  9. Need lots of bodies for camp. Love the potential. What's not to like about this signing?
  10. All that means is Lamar is better at elevating WRs than Kyler Murray, which isnt saying much since both QBs stink.
  11. Good news. The Bills have our LT locked down at an even better price. It's the rest of the line we're trying to figure out.
  12. Teams have to spend a certain amount every year to get over the salary floor, and they dont have anyone else to spend the money on. Another case of a low-talent team skewing the numbers across the rest of the league by throwing a ton of cash at their one good player. Good for Laremy. He's done both deals with the Texans himself, no agent. But he 1. Had a ton of leverage the first time, and 2. Understands what a great deal is without having to push for more (take notes, Lamar!).
  13. Maybe historically, but lately it's been not good in the Steel City. Their roster was at the bottom for talent, and Tomlin deserves a medal for somehow keeping them above .500 again. They've struggled with how to build a roster recently. And I'm not convinced they have the right blueprint for the modern NFL. Not saying to ignore the Oline, but they've ignored or misjudged a lot to get them to this point.
  14. Or we are offering their correct value because they are assessed as backups, and we arent paying high Free Agent money for a backup to start and under-perform for us. Our own draft picks can under-perform for us at a much cheaper cost.
  15. For me: One of the OTs or Downs. Although not thrilled with Downs' size.
  16. Agreed on Torrence. He doesnt fit our OL or Offense. I think we'd pass on him even if he was sitting there at 27. And from a guy who desperately wanted Linderbaum and/or Humphrey, I'd be fine with it. If that were the case, would rather go skill position at 27 and get OGs in the 2nd/3rd.
  17. Bills fans sound exactly like Chiefs fans, and not as bad as Bengals and Eagles fans who watched their "runner up" teams get decimated by Free Agency. The Bengals and Eagles would love to be in the Bills position of "retaining our own 'garbage'". Could be far worse. This is simply life at the top. It's understandable Bills fans arent used to it and dont know how to deal with it. Even if we had the cash, we could "win the offseason", like the Bears and Falcons (who stink) or the Dolphins (who win the offseason every year, become the media darlings, and then go 9-7).
  18. Cheap and easy to find. If #2 RB is one of our biggest concerns, then we are doing pretty well. I know it isnt the top need, and there are a handful of others. But ILB, OG, RB2, and WR2 are all pretty low value positions across the league (maybe not WR2, depending). Could have far worse holes to fill.
  19. That was always a silly valuation, which is becoming more and more common for Spotrac lately. Almost becoming the Zillow of sports. Only 1 guy in the top-20 paid Safeties is over 30, and he (Harrison Smith) just had to renegotiate to a 1 yr deal so he wasnt cut.
  20. Oh, I see. Report the posts then, and take your temper tantrum to PPP.
  21. Yeah man, I'm not trying to give him $10M/yr, although i think vet min is equally unlikely. But if we can get him on like 2/$10M fully guaranteed. Or 3/$15M fully guaranteed with the 3rd year being void. Then why not?
  22. Well he was their starting OG and Zeke runs inside. So if he is so poor in run blocking, it must mean Zeke can still contribute himself. Problem solved.
