pretty good players.  Hopefully Cooper is great and will make me forget it cost us 3rd.

We gave up a third last year for Rasul Douglas and a fifth and that trade has worked out pretty well.

Cooper is honestly going to be seeking out the nearest Church to the Stadium and making a huge donation. Thanking God he goes from Watson to Allen is literally Football hell to Heaven for a WR.

[eball]

What freaking WR would want to play for the trust fund baby misogynist Watson? Cooper just got the biggest football present of his life.

Diggs and a 3rd, for Cooper and a 2nd.  Deal or no deal?

Casuals overvalue draft picks, free agency exists…

Aren't we due to collect a third-round comp pick this year anyway, due Gabe Davis and some of the other guys we let walk? 

 

The league will find a way to screw us out of those.  See, e.g., Edmunds.

OMG

 

They sent a 3rd for Cooper.  This is beyond terrible.

 

Dallas sent cooper two years ago to Cleveland for a fifth.

 

A 3rd round draft pick for a guy leading the league in drops who has questionable desire to play the game.

 

Just shoot me right now.  

1 - he’s a good WR for almost $0 as a one year rental so the Bills get a WR better than any they have for a 3rd rounder.  

 

2 - if he signs another decent contract not with the Bills next offseason they’ll get a possible comp pick right?   

 

That’s more return than most third rounders are likely to offer.

a third round draft pick would have been here for four years and inexpensive.  They traded the opportunity to draft a young player to fit in with a young team going forward for half a season.  

 

a third and a seventh for cooper and a sixth.

 

I hate this.  

 

I get your reasoning and it makes some sense.  But...

 

Most 3rd round draft picks are jags.  Only 29% of them become full-time starters for 4 or more seasons.   Fewer yet become Pro Bowlers.

 

Amari Cooper is a proven commodity with 5 Pro Bowls - including last year.  

 

I'd rather have a Pro Bowler on a short-term rental than another jag.  We have enough jags already.

Easier to move a 3rd when you have the extra 2nd.  

 

1, 2, 2, 4, 4, 6, 6, 6.  If comp picks hold another 4 and 5 for davis and floyd.  There's also the potential of a 2026 comp pick should cooper get paid.

I didn't like that either honestly but saw the bills as desparate at corner at that moment so i understood.

 

I still don't think Buffalo was in the same spot at wr.

[Bookie Man]

Has to be accounted for. Dude. An still make plays.

this we no really nothing about aside from body language...but I will give him some grace since he played in Cleveland. 

I was gonna say playing for Cleveland and straight up not demanding a trade is impressive in itself 🤣

So you think I am a casual?

 

Cool and noted.

Somewhere, Tyler Bass is pumping his fists that the attention has turned away from him...not for long, Tyler. Not for long.
