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

I get the feeling Mack and Ty might get more money than the Bills want to pay

How much money does he need? The man doesn't use utensils and doesn't wear shoes!

He's a cosplayer. That stuff can be expensive.

Between the two, I have to resign 26.

We are almost an hour into free agency and not one of you has made me laugh, despite clear efforts to do so.  Do better!  If you trot out your comedy in public, the public gets to comment on it - and it's BAD, people!  Do your relatives find you funny?  Your co-workers?  I doubt it.  Comedy is hard.

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.

 

If you look at the modern landscape of the NFL with its (over)reliance on the QB and aren't willing to play in like 3 bad weather games per year with arguably the best QB in the entire league, then maybe winning Super Bowls isn't for you. 

Counterpoint, how many big time players do we draft and then lose in FA because of weather? Outside of Edmunds (who we walked away from), I can't think of another impact player that has not re-signed when given the opportunity (and equal money). 

You almost fooled me by not specifically talking about palmtrees, but I am on to you. This is Kevyn Adams burner account.

Important reminder that the word “resigns” means almost the opposite of the word “re-signs”.

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.    

Name one of those that gets the same or colder temps that we get, couples with the amount of snow and winds that we get. Name one that also has an outdoor stadium.

 

Greenbay.. thats it!

[SoonerBillsFan]

One thing to keep in mind is that NFL owners must put the guaranteed money of contracts into an Escrow account. It's called the funding rule, I believe. That means between the guys we have extended and Allen's new Contract, Terry has had to pony up 361.2 Million so far this offseason.  So we might not be going after higher end FA's

[gonzo1105]

Spillane got 3 years 37 mill from the Pats. 
 

The Chiefs signed 49ers backup LT to a 2 year 30 million dollar deal. 
 

Those are the high end but geez

Yeah, but I see his point. "Beane asleep at the wheel" went the way of the dinosaurs.

Roethlisberger is on McAfee and wondered out loud if Pickens is long term or not with the DK trade. 

 

I'd call them..  

Pickens would make Diggs look like a model citizen

 

If the Steelers give up on a WR, you should too

MetLife can get just as cold and windy but without the snow.
