Congrats to Darnell for showing up prepared, in shape, and perfectly executing on his opportunity. Put up CRAZY numbers and measurables, and made some great catches. I still dont think he's a 1st round pick, but would be less concerned about using a 2nd on him.

Tracks with this: https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/look-kentucky-quarterback-will-levis-drinks-his-coffee-with-mayonnaise/ So is this milk story just myth from a GM hoping to make Levis slide? Or is this craziness real?

Based on the going rate for a starting QB in the NFL. The reason he would ask for a lot of money (whether that is $45M, $35M, whatever) isnt because he's comparing himself with the other top QBs. It's because he's comparing himself with the rest of the 7billion people on Earth and realizing that even if you rank him in the bottom 1/4 of the league, that means there are only 24 people on the entire planet capable of doing his job better than him. And there are really only about 50 people TOTAL in the entire world capable of doing this job at all at the present moment. ALL of these players should show up to the negotiation table asking for a ridiculous amount of money. Because the league literally has billions of dollars.

Sounds like jealousy. The league makes a ton of money based on fan interest and popularity. That interest and popularity is directly due to the players. The players should get as much of that money as possible. Doesnt matter what anyone else thinks the job is actually worth. The money the players get paid is already coming into the league, so it either goes to the players who are the ones with the talent, and putting in the work, and sacrificing their bodies. Or it lines the pockets of the already rich owners who are doing nothing. I like this time of year because I'm happy for these dudes getting every penny they can out of the league.

Even better, it was a lie by his old agent to try to save face and make Jones look bad.

You think if the Bills continue to go 13-3, continue to win the division, Josh is leaving 2 years into a 6 year contract (how, even?) because of how we lose in the playoffs? What are some of yall smoking?

This is an embarrassingly high amount to use the term "alpha", and then close by citing Andy Reid as an example 🤣

Gotcha, thanks to both. Yeah, I believe he'll leave those duties to the DC. Especially if/when the hire ends up Holcomb or Babich.

Did he confirm this in a PC or something? McD is definitely, 100% calling the Defense?

Making grown-ass men people share a room is ridiculous. Especially when you are a billion-dollar company. I remember back in the day I had just started with a new company, and we were preparing to travel to a trade show. The info email came out and it had us sharing rooms. I reached out to my roomie and said "Rooms at this place are $99/night. If I book my own room myself, will you split the cost?" He was onboard, but I would've booked my own room even if he didnt want to split it. When I told the team logistics team my plan they were SHOCKED. Couldnt believe why or how anyone would want their own room. I was like "I don't need to be up all night with a snoring room mate, or trying to coordinate bathroom usage and showering and getting dressed with my coworker. Seems like a weird situation you are putting a lot of people in." It was the first time it even crossed their mind that a bunch of adults would want their own spaces. They rebooked everything the next day, with everyone getting their own room. But jeez louise...

Ravens players going HARD at the Organization today. Players gave their Strength Coaches an F- (32nd) Rashod Bateman tweeted and then deleted:

Bills Fans: WE DEMAND COACHES BE HELD ACCOUNTABLLLLLLLLLLLEEEE!!!!! Bills: *Move on from some coaches* Bills Fans: Not like that!

Some of the stuff coming out about the Cardinals is hilarious. Charging players for food and gym use during the offseason.

Keep these hot takes to the Bills discussion. The NHL is an old man's league. Our team has an average age of like 24. We have multiple stars locked up for the next 7 years. Enjoy the ride.

Agreed defense would be the toughest to defend, but I think they'll open themselves up to similar flack by wasting our Offensive picks on the RB/TE positions. Especially considering how (poorly) we use the guys we already have in those spots, and when everyone knows we need OL and WR. I'd rather reach on an IOL than waste a 1st rd pick on a RB.

As someone who watches a LOT of UGA football, Washington is neither a 1st round talent, nor a playmaker. I'd project him to us in the 3rd or later, and that would be a great grab. But definitely not a 1st and not even a 2nd.

Well "we" being fans are, yes. But that only shows how overly emotional fanatics truly are. As a wise man once said "You start listening to the fans, and soon you'll be sitting with them"

My father, uncle, and all their teenage/college friends in Lackawana were big into the hot rod culture of the 60s (and into the 70s) and absolutely built cars and drag raced often on Fuhrmann or whatever that street is in front of the old Pier site. It's part of American culture going back to the 50s. It's just different now since populations are bigger, races have moved into more populated areas, and it's easier to get fast cars. Not excusing it or normalizing it. But it isnt something new, or specific to the current generation. It's tragic for everyone involved. And you'd think these kids in these positions would make better decisions. But at the same time, theyre still working on fully developing their prefrontal cortex at that age.

Fun being in the hunt, and every game counts now. But I'm not too upset about last night. (For that matter, the Sabres are already meeting/exceeding my expectation for this year, so I'm not going to be upset with anything really) We were due to drop a game after playing lights out through the Florida stand. Hope the boys enjoyed their "night off" and show up ready to play against Boston. Not going to be an easy one.

Rip the bandaid off, @SDS and just shut down the board.

Ha! If their response to criticism is to draft a RB or TE at 27, then I hope they are ready for even more criticism.

With the way fans have trended each offseason, I could see a bunch of the fanbase turning on Josh at this point. Bunch of ingrates.

Bills fans have collectively lost their damn minds. I blame 20+ years of suckitude warping our reasoning and expectations. But it is almost unbelievable how spoiled and entitled we became so quickly.

He's still a franchise QB. I'm not a big fan or believer but he's definitely top half of the 32 starters, and that is simply the money those guys command. I dont think $20M less than Allen's guaranteed money is that far off from accurate. The Ravens' other option would be letting him walk for nothing which would be the worst case scenario for them. At the very least they need to tag and trade.
