I've said it before.... we are always gonna have to target 2nd tier FAs, or make a big trade with one of our 1st to get a prime player, and the reason is the cold temps.

 

It's why we needed to build a domed stadium.

 

I have family that lives in Miami.  My brother works at a prominent Course in S. Florida and has spoken to many NFL players. He asks them all the time, come to Buffalo and play with Josh Allen. They all say the same thing.... naw, too cold. They state that it's not the city the detracts them, it's playing in the strong windy cold conditions of Orchard Park.

 

It's why we needed a domed stadium. Players know that their careers get out a little short playing in those conditions.  We may have the worst weather situation in the NFL. Greenbay is a close second, they get the cold, but no so much the snow amounts.

 

13 of the 19 NFL teams play outdoors in cold weather cities.   Are you seriously going to tell me everyone of those teams only signs 2nd tier free agents?   My lord man 18 of the last 22 Super bowl winners came from cold weather cities.

I remember when the Bills signed Jeff Posey in like the first minute of FA signing way back in the day. I’m just reminiscing on the days of false excitement when we were awful

I think you can file the players responses about the cold being the reason right next to "They want to play for a Contender".

I'll see that and raise Dockery/Walker 😛

They must've picked today to start shrewd negotiations with Mack Hollins. That's a big ask, I get it.

The joke to be made here relates to that sleep apnea thread currently running on Off the Wall.

He also saves a lot of money on cat litter.

I can picture Hollin’s bare feet on Beane’s desk.

Feels like the Dark Ages following Free Agency without X/Twitter

That sound you hear is Rex Ryan trying to get a job in the Bills front office.
