The Chargers are the London bound team, not the Jags. Lots of noise about it being the escape route from the Chargers LA disaster.

If one was doing it without the other knowing, the one who doesn't know has zero idea what's going on in the building. Looks really bad on both of them IMO. I wouldn't be shocked if Marrone didn't know as I see him as the type to not stick around team facilities in the off-season. 1
The Dean Posted December 16, 2019 Posted December 16, 2019 (edited) It might help to have some context. How many grievances were there? For example, if there were 4 and 1 was against the Jags, that's 25%. While I highly doubt there were 4, knowing the total base helps when interpreting if there really is a deeper issue. There's more info you'd need, of course. How many different players filed grievances? Did one player file multiple grievances? See what I'm getting at? As for Marrone, Allen probably is right. Many grievances probably have little-to-nothing to do with Marrone. But why care? People here wanted him fired, then those same people bitched when he exercised his out option. Really? "The food in this restaurant is TERRIBLE. And such small portions." The bum is gone. He ain't the Bills' problem any more. Why obsess over him? Edited December 16, 2019 by The Dean

I bring it up mainly because there is a certain DE that could hit UFA from that team 1

Murphy only has one more year left and his dead cap would only be $1.75 million if cut next year. I'd much rather have Phillips over Star, I'd be surprised if they don't use that out after next year. Keep him around next year while Phillips gets to 100% and then you've got Jordan, Harry, and Ed as your top 3, that's a damn good looking group. You're right, it would be a lot of cash tied up. It depends how much Jordan (and Shaq) are looking for. Personally I think our priorities need to be: Weapons on Offense Pass Rush Offensive line. That being said, a guy like Ngakoue with shaq resigned would allow us to go offense heavy in the draft, sign depth across the board, and then draft defensive depth in the later rounds (which is where McBeane has been making their cash anyways!) 1

He preached the team was a family and then bailed on that team when he knew he could get a year of free money out of the Bills as well as become the HC of the Jests. One of the two worked out for him and, years later, he is about to get canned. Couldn't happen to a nicer human being. ...wonder if 42% of grievances come from fans?...naw can't be....too many seats are hefty bagged............ 1

\GoBillsInDallas/ Posted December 16, 2019 Posted December 16, 2019 'The Jaguars (4-9) have lost five straight games to fall into last place in the AFC South. They have lost 19 of their past 25 games -- 11 of those by double digits -- under Marrone and are the first NFL team since the 1986 Tampa Bay Buccaneers to lose five consecutive contests by at least 17 points.' 2

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but in the off-season, aren't the team facilities closed to the players? They can consult team doctors and get treatment, but they can't work out or lift weights there?

And made mandatory sessions at facility and fined players when they didn’t show I guess what I'm confused about is it talks about treatment. So rehab consists of both treatment and workouts. So what would be the point of requiring someone to get treatment, where they can't workout? Or is it that the Jags kept the facility open and was requiring both treatment and workout to take place? Or am I wrong that the facility can't be open for working out, in which case the way to do it would be as the Bills have done - build a world class facility and training staff and have guys saying "why would I travel when the best is available right here?"
