Saint Doug

Yes. He's injury prone. Unfortunately, it's time to turn the page. He's been great, it's just one thing after another with him.

What about Bills vs Browns? Seriously, it'll take a special kind of incompetence to screw up the opportunity they have.

I don't care what we are calling him, GM vs ball boy, he's just as active as he was pre-McD and he's receiving a paycheck commensurate of a GM. He's never had absolute final say and neither does McD. Pegs meddles. He has the final say. As for Whaley, even in his current capacity, neutered or not, he still does good work, especially with pro personnel. If he wants to walk, he's going to have to quit and Pegs will be off the hook for his salary.

I love the pick. Saw this coming a million miles away considering the CBs we currently have on our roster. We play in throw first NFL today & we have Brady in our division, so we're going to need 4-5 very good DBs. It's not hard for rookie DBs to make a significant contribution. By the 2nd half of the season, I doubt we're going to see much of different between White and Gilmore, but at a small fraction of the price. If he becomes a star, I'd be perfectly happy dumping him in 5 years for a cheaper version.

And who have never won a Super Bowl either.

What did EJ or Tyrod get?

This is just BB trying to goat the Bills into overreacting and paying too much. The pats have too many RBs on their roster. Let him walk, he'll likely get cut in the preseason.

Sammy is an elite WR. But, let's be real, who here thinks he'll be healthy enough to play the full 2017 season? Better yet, who here thinks he'll play more than 10 games? I don't.

This is like a time capsule: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d81faba11/article/buffalo-bills-dismiss-oftcriticized-chief-scout-modrak Caution: will bring back bad memories.

We'll be drafting CB in our first 2 picks. Book it. You can get excellent play from a rookie CB and have them on their rookie contract for 5 years. Let someone else give them astronomical money and draft a new one. Rinse and repeat. Except for QB, this should be done for all the highest paid positions where you can get decent play from a rookie. Plus, we play in a pass happy league without a top coverage LB.

For all you thinking this would be a great idea, just think of the comp pick we'll lose.

It makes sense though. Given all we have invested in developing this comp pick, why would we trade him with just 1 more year to wait?

Ah, I sense a comp pick coming.

I just wonder how far this "one voice" is going to go. Will Whaley be able to speak about drafted players after the draft like he usually does? Will it just by McD talking? It's going to get weird.

Why do you think ZB is trying to "bargain" for a different role on the Bills? It seems to me he was told what his role would be, he said "no", and he moved on. Not any different than a player preferring to sign with a team where he has the opportunity to start. As for the money he was offered by the Bills, we have no clue. All we know is he fired his agent and hired a new one. If an offer was still on the table, his new agent would be a fool not to have his client sit down with the Bills at least once more.

If anything, this will certainly not cause the Fins to up their offer. The way this is playing out, they're probably kicking themselves they didn't draft up with a lower offer.

I totally see him becoming a dolphIN.

It could work. Dez Bryant has a stiff behavior plan, including a 24/7 babysitter, to keep him in line and it seems to be working.

There's a huge difference between a player "trying to maximize their earnings" and a player who just isn't interested in playing for your team and using you as a pawn. It's fairly easy to distinguish the two and all parties will win in the end no matter the outcome.

There was a contract signed. It just wasn't signed by Zach Brown.

I remember this video well and I believe Whaley was explaining BPA very differently than how TBD views BPA. He said BPA means who is the BPA for the Buffalo Bills. The BPA for one team may not be the BPA for another. He places need and scheme into this equation.

If I were the Saints, I wouldn't give up a 1st. It's not a trade they'll win. Let him stew on the Patriots, he'll eventually get his release.

We are only "mortgaging the future" if we trade back into Round 1 or trade picks to move up. That said, if there is a guy at 10 they must have, take him. If not, trade down to 20 or so and pick him then. It worked last time

I would be very hesitant to throw a lot of money at a LB who was part of a unit that allowed 3 200 yd/game rushers last season.

I wonder if Holmes and his agent somehow orchestrated this whole thing. It managed to get him considerable publicity.
