Trading into the Top 10 to draft Sammy Watkins 2.0

Honest to freaking god, these offseason threads are cringe-worthy James Cook is a very good running back James Cook has some elite talents James Cook produced at a high level last year James Cook isn't Saquon Barkley He's going to play in Buffalo this year without holdouts or complaints He will continue to play at a high level, but not get more than 60% of snaps, similar to last year He'll leave in free agency and get a nice, but not elite, 2nd contract The Bills will get a nice comp pick in 2027

"He trash"

It’s tough to judge between the eras because QB play has improved so much that there aren’t the big play INT totals to measure. So it’s more of a case of locking guys down and not giving up catches in man coverage Anyhow, I’m 50 and Nate Odomes was the first great one that I saw play for the Bills. I think he was a solid combination of shutdown and big plays

Colts!

You know, I really don't care much if the biggest guy on my DL, who we absolutely freaking need to help make our run defense better, is much of a pass rusher. Ted Washington didn't get many sacks and he was OK at the job

Frank Reich went from coaching for one of the best owners in the game to two of the absolute worst. Hope he’s learned his lesson

DeWayne Carter = Adolphus Washington

Bring back Marv Albert

What about all those fans in the front row at Gillette that he politely requested to provide *****??

If we ever draft some guys that can actually shine in their rookie years (which seems to be the exception on our team), we could have an amazing roster

What are Jake Kumerow, Duke Williams, Reggie Germany, Kamil Loud, Justin Hunter, and Jonathan Smith up to?

I think they're slow playing it with Benford. With all of the concussions, it would not surprise me at all if they don't do anything with him this offseason Let it play out before you go forking over big bucks - it's not like the price is going to go up THAT much by waiting another year to see if he stays healthy and productive And it's really a similar story with Rousseau, minus the concussion issues

You should have seen this board in the aftermath of that '99 playoff loss

Unfortunately, a lot of the arguments the OP made sound like the Tremaine Edmunds decision all over again. I don't like the thought of giving out 2nd contracts based on OK-to-good performance plus "growth potential" He's had 4 seasons to show what he's got, and he hasn't yet been "great", which is really what you want and need if you're going to spend the big $$ on DE I see very little down side to allowing Rousseau to effectively bet on himself during his upcoming 5th year If he's amazing, you're happy to pay him top dollar If he's just more of what we've seen so far, you swallow your pride, let him go in free agency, recoup a comp pick, and you have more bites at the apple
