Low Positive

We don't know if Crosby and Garrett are actually available. In fact, both teams insist that they are not.

People forget that 3/4 of a season before his knee injury. He was a force, and would have continued like that. Him getting hurt on Thanksgiving was the thing that started derailing the 2022 season. He hasn't been the same since.

Rappaport's comments about "not in the business of letting good players walk away" is such BS and comes straight from Duke Tobin. They let Jesse Bates, Joe Mixon, Tyler Boyd, and DJ Reeder walk away just in the last two years. All those guys, except for Boyd, are excellent players still in their prime and were replaced with much weaker players. Yet more proof that Rappaport is the mouthpiece of front offices just like Schefter is the shill for agents.

Unfortunately, Lockett has fallen off the WR cliff over the past two years. Good WRs don't usually hit FA or the trade market until after their production has collapsed. The only exceptions are guys that are such divas that teams need to clear the lockerroom like Diggs in Minnesota or OBJ for every team. Also, the sad fact is that most of the best young WRs are on bad teams because they get drafted so high. So guys like Marvin Harrison Jr., Brian Thomas Jr., and Malik Nabors will waste their prime on bad teams. An elite WR can make a good team great, but he can't make a bad team good. Only a QB and an elite OL can do that.

I want to say that is just due to longevity, but looking at QB stats from the 70's is really eye-opening. Even the top guys like Roger Staubach and Terry Bradshaw rarely cleared 3,000 yards and no one had a completion % over 60%. It really illustrates the greatness of Montana (over 60% almost from the start) and Marino (over 4,000 yards almost every year) as much as anything else. I was only 10 so I don't really remember it, but Marino's '84 season must have had the whole NFL world on notice.

Jack Kemp was a winner in his league and time, but his highest completion percentage while he played for the Bills was 50.3%. Jim Kelly, as great as he was, never threw for 4,000 yards in a season in the NFL. Yet, both were great in their era. That's why comparing stats across eras is a futile exercise. But those three are obviously the best three in Bills history. After that, we're just getting nostalgic about Joe Fergusson. He played for the Bills for a generation, but Ken O'Brien played for the Jets for a generation and nobody but Jets fans remember him.

And they need DL and DBs in the worst way. And they have an owner who lacks cash flow. That is always the primary concern in Cincinnati. They have the potential cap space to do everything they need to do, but ownership doesn't have the cash to pay the upfront bonuses to kick cap space into void years. They're not even spending cask to the cap. They played with over 20 million in space this year.

Tee is such a low-key guy that he'll play on the tag with little complaint. And Joe Burrow is demanding that they keep the gang together, defense be damned. He's used every media outlet here in Cincinnati to put that pressure on the team. He just can't function without two #1 WRs. He never has.

I didn't know any of that, but those are the vibes I got. Featherd blonde hair, from Utah, and outsized confidence in his abilities as a "leader" even though he ran away from Caleb Williams. I think he spends more time on teeth whitening than studying film.

Except Minnesota had a great roster that just needed a QB. The Giants have a lot of other problems.

He played once in Buffalo in the cold. It was 12/14/14 and there was no snow.

1) Jets will never trade him to us. 2) If he shakes loose, he'll follow Rodgers or try to make his way to NO to play with Carr. He's shown that playing with his friends is more important to him than winning more than once. I don't expect that to change.

Just heard a Jaxson Dart Interview. I get major Zach Wilson vibes.

But he's trying his best. No talent assclown.

I understand reporting things, but Dunne really is working to get Beane Fired. Doug Whaley still casts a big shadow over this organization.

Totally agree. But I can't help think that the current iteration of the Bills would have lost that Thanksgiving game in Detroit.

Individual WRs making big plays is the most fun thing to watch in a football game. Diggs making big plays was more fun to watch than anything the Bills did last year. The Bills were winning last year dinking and dunking down the field. I think a lot of fans miss the bombs-away approach of the Daboll/Diggs years. This is entertainment, after all.

It's like Barney's crazy to hotness scale

Don’t panic yet. Usually trades don’t start until after the Combine when teams get some time to restructure contracts to fit big vet deals under the cap.

Isiah Bond's mouth is faster than his legs.

I assume you’re joking, but just in case Ortho and also mean Orthopaedic.

I know things can be restructured, but I think the contract will give teams pause. He has the highest cap hit of any secondary player in 2025. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/player/_/id/25113/jaire-alexander

They may be limited by the runways at the Buffalo airport. The Fins charter a 747. I doubt that could land there.

On a regular pizza that I order, I just like Cheese, Mushrooms, and ham. But there is one that we make at home using Trader Joes dough (They sell it in a bag). It has a ricotta base, four cheese blend (mozzarella, fontina, asiago, and pecorino), and prosciutto. Then after baking, put fresh arugula on it and give it a balsamic drizzle.
