$11M in 2025 will be bottom of the list. He isnt highly paid.

We arent paying anything right now. New deal was an extension that doesnt even kick in for another year. He is making a base $965k this year.

Serious question. Compared to what? He's the #22 paid TE next year. And barely on the list this year.\ https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/rankings/tight-end/

Maybe he could be, but the bigger difference is both of those guys are their teams #1 target. For the Bills, Knox is like #3 or #4. Only so many balls to go around, and our offense runs through Diggs and the WRs.

Haha, for real. It was over week 2 when they had to bring in an additional coach to help him with in-game decisions. Like, WHAT?!?

You know that. I know that. The world may know that. But Hackett doesnt have the ability to make those decisions in real time.

He remembered the last time he was in that position and got lit up for taking it out of Russ's hands. This time he said "ok, world, lets see what our Franchise QB has". Turns out he's got nothin.

Maybe theyre trying to give Bernard more 1st team reps in case we pull our starters early? Seems like too cocky a move for McD to be true, but could be... Right, like how can you note a team is a 14 point FAVORITE and then say it's going to be a tough game???

What the ***** is all this bull####?

KC is a playoff game that will likely decide the #1 seed and therefore homefield advantage. We have to throw everyone and the kitchen sink at KC. Rolling over for them now pretty much sandbags our SB run. Weak, dude. Weak.

Just in the Ravens game alone, he had a pretty big catch for 20 on that last drive that was clutch. Also had a huge catch to get down to the 1 and out of bounds before half to setup the McKenzie TD. Had a HUGE seal block to spring Shakir on that 12 yard run. He does a lot of little things that dont show up on stat sheets but are crucial to us winning. He's a problem for teams. He'll get his eventually. I agree that not having that 2nd TE threat is hampering what Dorsey wants to do, and the way he is using Knox. He had 2 TEs when he was playing in Miami, right? Shockey and Winslow?

Just gonna leave this here again...

Yep. Russ will stay. Hackett has to go. They dont really have a choice.

Yeah, we had a running joke in one of the group chats about the "dreaded 3rd quarter", and folks not bothering to come back from halftime until the 4th quarter. They really turned that around. Great stuff to see in the development of a first time Head Coach and his staff.

They have to get rid of Hackett and get real coaches in there. Only way they are ever going to get any return on their investment in Russ. Yes, a LOT of this is on Wilson, but I think his confusion and lack of confidence starts from the top. With the new owner coming in, he certainly has the opportunity to cut Hackett. We'll see. Edit: And yes, with the performance they are getting out of Geno Smith, Carroll looks like an absolute GENIUS right now.

Thank god we dont have to watch the Broncos again until... next Monday Night OHWHATTHEFUUUUU!?

Just gently narrating as he is watching Josh Allen in the wild, blown away by the spectacular specimen. "Here we have a Josh Allen in his natural habitat. Known to have the largest genitalia of his North American species, we see him toss aside challengers to his territory like they were mere adolescents." I would pay for that series.

I dont disagree there. I think the Bills were ready to move on based on production/health/age/cost, and Bease did his classic "You cant fire me, I quit!" routine, just like he did in Dallas, and just like he did in Tampa when their WRs came back. His ego can't handle getting cut/released/traded, so he makes up his own reasons on his way out and he and his agent send it out before the team gets a chance to simply cut him like any other player transaction.

The dumbass who ran onto the field is truly a... well... dumbass. But Wagner also needs to know better. Let Security do their job and dont open yourself up to this liability. While I agree it's unlikely this tool gets anything from Wagner, there is a reason why most retailers tell their employees, and even their loss prevention staff, to never physically stop a shoplifter. It isnt worth it. Especially to a retail-level employee who doesnt even have health insurance. The billion-dollar big box corporation is well insured for inventory loss. Just let insurance do their job. Same for Wagner and Security. That said, I do love watching field jumpers get taken out by players. Always entertaining.

I'll give credit where due. Big Edmunds detractor here but he is doing everything I'd hoped to see from him this year (just wish it started a year or two ago). This video is awesome. (Still dont think we'll be able to afford him)

Dont look at the report on Wednesdays. It is the day of rest and when anyone with even the slightest boo-boo will be listed. Picked a scab? Straight to the Wednesday list Burnt the roof of your mouth on a hot pocket? You're on the Wednesday list Didn't sleep well last night? Here's a pillow, Wednesday list Hangnail? That's the Wednesday list Forgot to brush your teeth? You're on the Wednesday list Brushed your teeth too hard? Believe it or not, also Wednesday list

Cool, then it was Pack and Chiefs.

Yeah, first game was after Tom hit him on 3rd and 7 and he went down at 5 yards. The next week was after a miscue along the lines of Bease broke right and Tom threw left. I think these were before the Chiefs game. Packers and Saints. I dont really think it was the reason he left. I'm sure it had more to do with Bucs getting guys back, and they were going to release him anyways. But it was entertaining to see two angry douches arguing while it lasted.
