‘Robiskie has the experience and pedigree head coach Sean McDermott seems to value in his assistants. The 63-year old has been an NFL assistant for 36 years, coaching for six different organizations. His first coaching job was with the Los Angeles Raiders in 1982. He was the offensive coordinator for the Tennessee Titans for the past two seasons.’

‘Mueller would have familiarity with both McDermott and Beane, as he spent 20 years in the Carolina Panthers organization. Guilamo served as a consultant to the Bills last season. As ESPN’s Mike Rodak points out, this makes more than two dozen changes to the Bills front office since the arrival of Beane and McDermott.’

‘”They have aggressively scouting quarterbacks all year long. I think Josh Rosen is the apple of their eye. It’ll be hard to go up and get him, but I think the tie between Buffalo and Giants GM David Gettleman kind of paints a picture of where they both might be thinking to go.”‘

‘Both Robiskie and Robinson have the experience and pedigree head coach Sean McDermott values in his assistants. Robiskie, 63, has been an NFL assistant for over 35 years, coaching for six different organizations. His first coaching job was with the Los Angeles Raiders in 1982.’

‘The Colts’ Twitter account had some fun with the situation Sunday, making fun at their own expense by tweeting out pictures of Reich actually signing the contract and then standing next to owner Jim Irsay while holding the newspaper to prove the date of the photo.’

‘Gaines may be the toughest decision and situation facing the Bills as far as their own free agents this offseason. They were a much better defense and overall team when he played last year. His presence allowed others to play more natural positions and the defense to play more diverse coverages. In fact, the Bills were 8-3 in games Gaines started. They were 1-4 in games he didn’t. But that’s where the issue comes in. Gaines, acquired by the team in a trade for WR Sammy Watkins during the preseason, missed five games with injuries. He also left three other games with injuries. That’s half the games the Bills played that Gaines either got hurt during the game and didn’t finish, or didn’t play at all.’

‘The 58-year old Frazier was worked for the Colts in 2005 as a defensive assistant and 2006 as their assistant head coach and defensive backs coach.’

‘”This is my first [roast],” Jackson said. “I haven’t had the opportunity to talk to anybody else that has been roasted, but I can just tell what the lineup of the guys that they have waiting for me. It’s going to be a lot of fun to participate in, and I’m excited to see what’s said about me.”‘

‘Counting the Super Bowl Sunday, the Patriots had four losses in 2017. In those four games they averaged 28.75 points scored. That’s on OFFENSE. But the teams they faced in those games – the Chiefs, Panthers, Dolphins, and Eagles – scored 42, 33, 27, and 41, respectively, for an average of 35.75 points scored against the Patriots’ defense. Those teams attacked. They were aggressive. They didn’t sit back and let Brady just get to 20 points and win.’

‘I would be very careful not to get caught up in how he looked the last two games.’

‘But Cousins won’t come cheap. In fact, he may end up becoming the highest paid player in the NFL in a month and a half. Best guesses suggest Cousins will look to pass Detroit’s Matthew Stafford for that highest paid honor which means he’d be seeking an average salary of at least $27 million a year.’

‘I’m good as long as they take one.’

‘That said, even though I like Cousins and will be the first to tell you he’s an immediate upgrade at the position for them, I don’t think the Bills should pursue him at these prices. Head coach Sean McDermott and GM Brandon Beane have done a good job sticking with their own plan and process of acquiring draft picks, building the team through the draft, shedding hugh contracts, and setting themselves up for a much better model for long-term success.’

‘He ended the letter by specifically thanking ownership, members of management, trainers, former teammates, and most of all “Bills Mafia,” as he put it, writing, “because I was born in California and raised in Texas. But Buffalo will always be the place where I grew up — where I became a man.”’

‘”You have to have a different mindset, you have to be angry. You have to have a different body, a different mind, to switch to that savageness and that nastiness… Sometimes it was hard for me to turn that off.”‘
