I tried a CPAP machine but I sleep on my stomach, back and side..... and end up twisted in the hose, or I drool into the mask and when I rotate positions I get cold drool falling back on my face. I can not use a cpap, and I sleep in my own room/bed because of it. I've looked into it but surgeries are so iffy and not worth it, so there is no options for me.

still another contract negotiated without the use of social media

and yet another extension negotiated without the use of social media

We are in much better position this year compared to last year. I believe we we're close to 30+ milion over going into the offseason. This year we were closer to 10+ million to start the offseason I guessed at the numbers maybe someone would post the real numbers

The game is won and lost in the trenches. Completely agree, get the DL right, go big on DL this year

I ***** care and so do alot of others Just move along you know my feelings

Another extension not negotiated on social media, solid signing

to our current situation. Josh can work with what we have. What he can not overcome is a defense that cannot stop other high octane offenses

Von Miller mauy have lost a step but when it comes to this team he is pretty loyal to take the the paycuts just to stay. I hope they can work it out while we still pursue Mack or Garett

LMFAO.. players line up to play for real contenders and it won't affect a damn thing regarding top FAs or resinging our own. Players screw over teams the same way and run off when it suits them just the same, this is not a one way street, its a business.

if you can then yes, if you can not use the tools, that is all I have said in this thread. BUT No matter what happens he has chosen social media to vent his frustration or make his desires known and that is something I have ZERO repsect for. Personally I honestly do not care what happens to Cook. SIgn him to a deal, Trade him or force him to play on a tag in 2026, he chose a path that I do not respect. I also have no clue what you are saying about bad optics, its a business and to be honest all the good optics that you say the FO is working towards hasn't done ***** for this team. We are still the team who can't get past the AFCC so every single optic be damned. Keep the best players anyway you can including using tags when needed.

You start high on your asking price.. Thats basic negotiating But I agree DK is not worth that picks or salary.

At some point you have to use the tools you have in front of you. Especially when a player starts negotiating on Social Media. How much has Beanes and McDs goodwill really done for us. Can't even win a AFCC Game. The players he resigns are solid but none of them have gotten us further. I'm all for negotiating a better deal for Cook and your numbers you suggested are solid, and better than using tags and that works for me. BUT if he hangs onto numbers that do not fit the team going forward you use the tools you have at your disposal. Thats the business.

Like I said "That being said this is where Cook must look if he wants a contract extension. He needs to come in under the FT tag number otherwise the Bills/Beane can just use the tag numbers, and Cook is then gambling he will not get injured/ lose a step and kiss a solid contract goodbye." you don't have to pay more and add void years to make it work. We basically have Cook for 3 more years without a new contract (if we have no need to tag someone else). Void years still count against the cap regarding bonuses, so there will be dead money with void years. I agree void years can be a creative way to keep the cap low but if we do not have to then do not.

Cook has another on his contract @ a 5.7 million cap hit If we let him playout this year on existing contract we can tag him for 2 more years. The 2nd years tag is 120% of the last years salary. [quote]A player being tagged for the second consecutive season is paid 120% of his previous year's salary. [/quote] Exclusive Tag $14M - $18M Non- Exclusive Tag 2 - 1st rd picks if any team signs him and we do not match transition Tag $12M - $16M Doing the math it would cost aproxiamtely $5.7M plus FT-1 $15M FT-2 $18M = $39.7M for 3 years or $5.7 plus TT-1 $13M TT-3 $16M = $34.7M for 3 years Numbers are ballpark. That being said this is where Cook must look if he wants a contract extension. He needs to come in under the FT tag number otherwise the Bills/Beane can just use the tag numbers, and Cook is then gambling he will not get injured/ lose a step and kiss a solid contract goodbye.

But it will cost us more in a trade, and it will have to be something(s) of value to make it happen.

Yes it will force decisions But that would also be the case for any high end FA or trade we make including Garett.

Negotiate an extension, add void years if necessary

I see they are 13 million over the cap.... with Geno at QB that's crazy.

why would Seattle want to offload Metcalf. Is there some news I missed ?

I Understand the frustration, and hope we can correct it

[eyeroll] well if he does not we must trade Allen [/eyeroll]

Then you have to word it that way I did not read it that way nor would I ever. The author needed to add "this year" for that to make sense

Well that makes more sense but it wasn't worded that way in the tweet

I may have some questions for you on this one, its sounds like you may have a very weird fetish
