Well, I think we've all been waiting for one of those for a couple decades. ANYONE who is willing to get up and fight for a ball and take it personally with a little swagger. Not sure why the Bills cant find guys like that when it seems every other team can. Maybe because those types arent "Process Guys"?

You dont build cap space for the sake of keeping cap space. You build cap space by jettisoning the previous admins contracts so you have cap space to work with and spend yourself. He made Morse the highest paid Center last offseason. And that's at the Center position. Pass Rushers make more and he knows that. You build that cap space in order to sign guys like Yannick or Clowney. You can be smart with money AND spend it at the same time. This whole "Beane doesnt/wont spend money" is the 2nd worst meme on this board right behind "Not a Process Guy". (Not picking on you specifically for this)

Interesting. I'm not that familiar with him, but all the sites have him listed as OLB. No way he could fill the LorAx spot in your opinion? Just curious. "Whitehead was primarily an edge rusher at Temple." "Whitehead as the league's 13th-best LB against the run among 99 qualified players in 2019."

Yeah, it was fake news. Ah, the offseason.

That's a 1-Tech vs JP's 3-tech tho.

That's right in Star range, so not sure there is much better out there at that price, nor is it very high, imo. I also value Jordan's role in the locker room. He's no angel, rather just the opposite. Gives these "Process Guys" an edge to play with on the field. Bring em both back, and sign a Pass Rusher in FA to take Hughes role next year. Go Bills!

I'm thinking $12M/yr for Williams puts Shaq in the $8-9M/yr range, and JP in the $9-10M range, which makes them very re-signable. I'm just hoping they dont find a desperate teams that drive their prices up. Tell me why I'm wrong.

Is that our new band name?

The part of me that was raised in the 1980s loves the idea of letting Love go to the Pats and seeing a 1st round where the Dolphins had soooo many picks from tanking so badly... yet still couldnt secure ANY of the top or even 2nd tier QBs. I'd rather deal with a rookie Love in New England if it means such abject failure for the Dolphins.

We proudly use our Wegmans reusable bags down here at Kroger and Publix. Have a whole trunk full of them. Doesnt slow any bagging time down (although that may be because the baggers are already slow in the South) And we've been using the thin, biodegradable dog poop bags for years. Life will go on without plastic grocery bags. I do love ya, EiL, and am mostly busting your chops. But man you seem upset over something so trivial.

I understand, I just think Singletary should get the bulk of the carries and be that 1200 yard rusher, while the guy we draft late can spell him like Gore (but be more effective than Gore was) Nice work tho! Thanks for keeping the offseason interesting!

The best part of this thread is how out-of-his-mind triggered EiL is over moving away from plastic bags. From the conspiracy theories, to the cute nicknames he has for anyone involved. My man, you are going full PPP on this.

Love the effort and creativity. Made for a real fun read! That said, I'm not thrilled with that outcome. Feels like a lot of work making trades to walk away with a mediocre talent pool. Although, I'm not sold on Higgins or Shenault at #22 either so... edit: My only major beef is using a 2nd round pick on a RB who will be a "compliment" to Singletary. That should come in the 4th round or later, or even UDFA.

That sounds exactly like Marrone actually. These are the questions we really need @GunnerBill to chime in on.

I posted this as my hair-brained idea a few weeks ago, but was quickly schooled that Jax is still on the hook for a huge portion of the Foles hit. Even if they trade him away, they still eat something like $18M of the $22M he's set to earn this year.

Hughes currently makes $10M a year but that is off our books after this season, and right there is half the room for Ngakoue if you are thinking long term. We have the room to sign and keep the others as well. It will get tricky once Allen is up for re-signing, but there are plenty of teams in the NFL who pay their franchise QB and keep talent around him. It can be done.

Yes we certainly do. Marrone thinks if Bill O'Brien could do it with Clowney than he can do it with Ngakoue. Marrone is also an idiot.

Thanks!

Oh good, someone new to a message board who thinks theyre the smartest guy in the room because you believe you're "logical" when in fact you arent. You say above "You say they should do something and I say they can do whatever they’d like", yet your very first post in this discussion said: Directly implying that the Bills can NOT do whatever they like. Key absolute "can't". When they in fact can arbitrarily strip him of his accomplishments as they see fit if they so choose to. YOU said they can't. All I ever said is that they "should", not that they must. Of course they can do whatever they like. Maybe the problem is I know to state my opinions as opinions, and you phrase your opinions as facts. I'm done discussing with you because you cant even follow your own discussion, and are bad at it. Agree to disagree. Bye.

It is my opinion. I never said anything otherwise. Literally said "should" not "must". Who hurt you?

"I'm hear to deliver the pizza, it says you ordered... extra sausage"

The Bills dont need to ask anyone. It's an unofficial marketing piece hanging in their stadium. They can decide to take it down as simply as deciding to change a light bulb. And they should. That doesnt mean much. For years my father and I were convinced that Defenders were voting him into the ProBowl just so they could keep him on the field and keep beating him. ProBowl voting for Interior linemen, especially back then before everyone had constant access to tape, was pretty much a "I know that name, and only that name" popularity contest. I do like that he stood up to Greggo and basically told him to eff off.

$15M/year for 5 years basically IS a discount considering it will be a mid-level wage halfway through the contract.

I got a new job at Papa Johns hoping to be a participant in the Porn Hub Pizza Guy challenge.

The NFL's policy doesnt require a court conviction to determine conduct detrimental to the league. They are their own private company free to make their own rules, so they totally can decide to strip someone of their accomplishments as they see fit. Plus, he's since spent time in jail for other actions. Take him down.
