Saquon Barkley is Still a Media Favorite to the Bills
Albany,n.y. replied to JackKemp's topic in The Stadium Wall
We're not signing Barkley. The Giants are either tagging him or signing him to a long term contract. He will never make it to free agency & even if he did, which won't happen, the Bills can't afford him. -
Saquon Barkley is Still a Media Favorite to the Bills
Albany,n.y. replied to JackKemp's topic in The Stadium Wall
Just because we're not drafting a 1st round RB and not signing Barkley doesn't mean the Bills won't sign a cheaper free agent or draft a bigger back in the middle rounds of the draft. Drafting a 1st round RB or signing Barkley is a pipe dream that simply will not happen. The Bills need O-line & D back help & one of those positions is where they will draft. -
Brady now says he won't join the Fox broadcasting crew until 2024. I wouldn't be surprised if he never announces a game & reaches some kind of settlement before the 2024 season. https://www.nfl.com/news/tom-brady-says-he-expects-to-begin-his-fox-broadcasting-career-in-fall-2024

Saquon Barkley is Still a Media Favorite to the Bills
Albany,n.y. replied to JackKemp's topic in The Stadium Wall
Let's get real. The Bills are not drafting a RB in the 1st round and they're not signing Barkley. So, any debate on whether one guy is better than the other is pretty much a moot point as far as the Bills 2023 roster is concerned. -

Actually, Cookie came 1st. Cookie was signed before the start of the 1962 season & Kemp was picked up on waivers during the 1962 season. -

As long as the Bills are contenders Beane & McDermott are safe. Changing coaches & GMs because the team didn't win the Super Bowl is a very dangerous thing. There is no guarantee that the new guys will perform any better than the guys they replaced, and in a lot of cases the instability makes things worse. -

The "some" are wrong. -
Why stop at Donald? Lets get the best 5 O-linemen in the league, the best RB, the 4 best WRs, 3 of the best LBs and the 4 best D-backs. Then we'll trade for Mahomes and keep him on the bench as insurance and for good measure KC will throw in Kelce. No need for the next 10 drafts & we'll tweak the salary cap for 1 great season. Time to go for it all.

Top 10 Greatest Coaches That Never Won a Super Bowl
Albany,n.y. replied to T master's topic in The Stadium Wall
Reeves never won a Super Bowl as a head coach. He was an assistant coach on the 1977-8 Cowboys Super Bowl winning team. -
Reasonable explanation as to why Vontae was sleeping. He decided to stop driving at the halfway point of his drive home.

Should QB Compensation Be Carved Out of the Salary Cap?
Albany,n.y. replied to st pete gogolak's topic in The Stadium Wall
League limits & salary caps have to be approved by the players unions. The NBA players agreed to this. I doubt the NFL players would, even though they let the salary cap work. The NFL rosters are 4-5 times the NBA rosters. As long as the courts say that NFL teams are in competition with each other, they are not permitted to fix a maximum salary without an agreement with the players association. https://www.justice.gov/atr/file/903511/download Agreements among employers not to recruit certain employees or not to compete on terms of compensation are illegal. An HR professional should avoid entering into agreements regarding terms of employment with firms that compete to hire employees. It does not matter whether the agreement is informal or formal, written or unwritten, spoken or unspoken. An individual likely is breaking the antitrust laws if he or she: • agrees with individual(s) at another company about employee salary or other terms of compensation, either at a specific level or within a range (so-called wage-fixing agreements), or • agrees with individual(s) at another company to refuse to solicit or hire that other company’s employees (so-called “no poaching” agreements). Even if an individual does not agree orally or in writing to limit employee compensation or recruiting, other circumstances – such as evidence of discussions and parallel behavior – may lead to an inference that the individual has agreed to do so. Naked wage-fixing or no-poaching agreements among employers, whether entered into directly or through a third-party intermediary, are per se illegal under the antitrust laws. That means that if the agreement is separate from or not reasonably necessary to a larger legitimate collaboration between the employers, the agreement is deemed illegal without any inquiry into its competitive effects. Legitimate joint ventures (including, for example, appropriate shared use of facilities) are not considered per se illegal under the antitrust laws. -

It's against the law. They would lose in court every time. -

Aaron Rodgers to the Jets for 2 first round picks?
Albany,n.y. replied to Lost's topic in The Stadium Wall
In the world outside of Howard Simon's fantasies, the odds are pretty good that if Brady wanted to go with either of those 2 teams, the agent had already asked the "Do you want Tom" question BEFORE he retired. He wouldn't have gone through with his latest retirement announcement unless 1) He decided to retire, and he had no desire to play anymore & will head over to his $375 million payday at Fox, or 2) His agent was already told no by SF & Miami and then he announced his retirement. Brady is retired. End of story. -
Aaron Rodgers to the Jets for 2 first round picks?
Albany,n.y. replied to Lost's topic in The Stadium Wall
If, when we needed a QB, we traded a 1st rounder for a 39 year old QB, coming off a bad season with Rodgers off field personality, most of us would have been against it. Especially if we had team history of a similar trade years ago that had bad results (Brett Favre's 1 year as a Jet) Most likely scenario: Jets trade high pick (1 or 2) for Rodgers, he plays one year, 1st round exit in the playoffs, retires. -
How many teams can Singletary start on
Albany,n.y. replied to NastyNateSoldiers's topic in The Stadium Wall
I wouldn't even offer him a contract. Go into next season with Cook, Hines & a bigger sized rookie and don't ever consider bringing him back. If he comes back, it will be similar to this year when we brought back McKenzie who for the most part was disappointing. -
Maybe the new guy has a doctor in the family & the Bills want to be extra vigilant with their safeties.

Aaron Rodgers to the Jets for 2 first round picks?
Albany,n.y. replied to Lost's topic in The Stadium Wall
Today on the WFAN the hosts are all hopped up over reports the Jets are rumored to be ready to go all in to get Rodgers. They love the idea & are even giving Joe Douglas credit for leaking it to the press in order to let Rodgers & the other teams that might be interested in trading for Rodgers that the Jets are willing to be a high bidder. I think this is lunacy. I can't believe the Jets are willing to give up high draft choices to acquire a 39 year old QB coming off his worst season who has a huge contract & who could play 1 season & be done. We've seen the Jets do something similar before: They traded for Brett Favre, didn't get the desired results & traded him to Minnesota a year later. Maybe history will repeat itself & Rodgers will be a Jet this year & a Viking in 2024. Or he'll just suck in NJ & retire. -

Dawkins, Saffold and Knox added to Pro Bowl
Albany,n.y. replied to Buffalo_Stampede's topic in The Stadium Wall
If anyone doubts what a joke the Pro bowl is, the fact that Tyler Huntley has been named to replace Josh should remove all doubt. I guess they wanted a mobile QB knowing anyone lining up behind Saffold will need to run for his life.
