That's a nice wish for a fan, but not a reasonable expectation in reality.

Tough to find a team that is willing to: 1. Shell out $270M fully guaranteed and 2. Part with more than 2 1sts for their troubles That's already a huge price tag. Baltimore got the guy for two 2nds. They got as much as they could out of him (1 MVP season and no playoff wins). Getting two 1sts back is pretty good, imo.

ABSOLUTELY NOT to tagging Edmunds. The Franchise Tag for a LB is $20.9M. While Edmunds long term deal might average $20M/yr, it will likely be more like $9M this year and $13M next year. So you'd just be burning $12M in cap space.

I thought there was a chance to use it on Knox before he signed his extension since the TE number is pretty reasonable. I dont see anywhere else it makes sense to tag anyone.

Reports say they were still $100M apart while talking at the Combine last week. Which means he wants fully guaranteed, and they want a more traditional contract. So yeah, they definitely can't sign him. I dont know that I'd say he refuses to be rational, as much as he is just sitting there pointing to a picture of Deshaun Watson and his fully guaranteed contract, and the Ravens dont see it as much of a precendent as Lamar does. I understand and agree with both sides there. Good for Lamar, but that's a huge gamble for a team.

Yeah, Ive been saying Atlanta or Miami since last year. And I lean towards Atlanta. Arthur Blank is already salivating at the Jackson/Vick mash-up marketing opportunities in Atlanta. And even with Carr in NO, Jackson makes them the immediate favorites in the Division. Plus, Blank has the cash, the picks, and the desire.

Yes, but likely not much more, and the Exclusive Franchise Tag locks him to Baltimore and puts the onus on the Baltimore GM to 1. Find a trade partner and/or 2. Work out a long term deal with Lamar. Using the non exclusive tag opens it up so Lamar and "his agent" can go negotiate with teams, and if they come to an agreement that Baltimore doesnt want to match, Baltimore gets 2 1st round picks. It's basically a way to push all the foot work onto Jackson. "Oh, you dont want to be here at our offer? Fine, go find one yourself and we'll take our picks."

And Herbert. And soon enough, Lawrence. (And maybe even Tua if he survives next season)

Folks would have lost their minds if the internet was around during those Bills days. I did, as a kid! Those were my core formative experiences! Says a lot for why I am the way I am now

You guys severely underestimate the age of this board, and the age of the folks getting most angry online. That is full on owned by the angry boomers and gen x'ers who used to tell us back in the 90s to "not believe everything you read on the internet", and now they take it spoon fed all day long.

WE FINALLY MADE IT, GENO!

I guess if you look at it this way. But I think Cousins is better, and Im not a Cousins fan at all.

Because that is how every big-money contract for every star pretty much works. Jeez Louise you guys, take a frickin break from the obsessing.

Yeah, I think I'd lean more towards 6-7 than 4-5. We need production out of rounds 4 and 5. Extra sucks because it reduces the overall OG prospect pool.

I've seen this guy in a lot of our mocks. That sucks if the diagnosis is correct.

Saw it coming a mile away This current iteration of spoiled, entitled, demanding Bills fans is getting completely insufferable. Bring back the drought.

Maybe the loser athletes who arent cool enough to get HGH!

No one cared. Especially since it was Diggs and maybe 2 other players that bothered to actually show up ready to play that game. If the players cared so much about Diggs leaving the locker room right away (even tho the game and season were in fact already over), then they should have showed up to the game instead of disrespecting Diggs and the rest of the team with the performance they gave. It was already a mess by then and everyone was just happy to have it be over and done with. Moving on to 2023.

Any team trading for Lamar would have to go in knowing they'll be signing him to a fully guaranteed $270M contract. The entire trade would be contingent on a long term deal. The only owners I can think of willing to do that for him right now are Blank and Ross. Would not be surprised to see Miami do it since Ross was willing to give up ownership % to get Brady on the team. (still think it ends up Atlanta)

Methinks its that these athletes dont think about the lowly fans AT ALL, nor should they, when they are posting stuff about their own lives. And the crazy fan(atics) who have nothing else better to do are reading far too much into it. So he wants to go to... DALLAS?!?

Yet here was have a grown man complaining and moaning about another grown man's social media content 🤣

I knew you were gonna say that! And tough to argue with.

His best year, by far, since 2014. Wonder what the difference was.

All this, especially in that Division where Carr is now the best QB out of the 4 teams.

Yall are worse than my grandma's sewing circle. Log out, tune out, and go outside.
