Ah the good old days, steroids for everyone.

I didn't say Shakirs deal was "reasonable" because it makes "fans happy" - It was reasonable because Shakirs projected market as a FA was much higher than what he signed for. Those deals are much easier to get done, and yes, being a 5th round pick on a rookie deal brings a lot of injury risk, so there is incentive to sign early at a discount for stability. But that is beside the point, the point is Shakir's deal was easy to get done because it was a good deal on both sides. If Shakir was demanding $20M per year, he would still be in limbo the same as Cook. Point is - Bills have tried to extend Cook, and Cook started asking for $15M, at least publicly. Beane has stated their have been offers and they are not there yet on both sides. So the term "reasonable" is in direct reference to what the FO deems reasonable based on how they value him and their forward looking cap plans. And reports are that they are now closer, if true, that coupled with the Rams deal that just happened, I think we could see this resolved soon. End of the day, Shakir wasn't demanding more than the FO was offering, so the deal got done. Its just that simple as to why one was done, and easily, and the other is in a Hold In status.

Shtupp is paying that caller. It's a plot to drive Parker into a 'Section 8', and then Shtupp hosts the show solo. We always knew he was the duplicitous type. 🤨

He really has no choice but to play it off as long as Hill is on the team.

I would have absolutely LOVED Diggs to sign with Miami just to make this idiot stutter and stammer even more. He's such a weak leader and his team shows it.

Madness that Tyreek’s end of the season comments are being played off as nothing by McDaniels.

Yes. League suspensions allow that. There have been a few reports on Hoecht coming out of training camp. He's also allowed to play in preseason games. I would bet he will.

Simple. Shakir's agent and Beane were close in price so the deal was done quickly. Same with Rousseau, Bernard, and Benford. All took semi hometown discounts in exchange for financial security. Beane and the Cook camp obviously weren't close in price. Plus, it's always trickier with a RB given the shelf life of the position.

Chargers are cursed confirmed

It's so easy that John Dorsey selected Mahomes, Hill, Kelce and Jones.

He should get Lamar’s mom to be his agent.

Yes exactly

What is “the plan?” Who is making it?

I can name two, easy. Mahomes, Jones. He also drafted Hill and maybe Kelce, yes?

How much has Beane offered? And what is Cook's agent's latest counter? Shakir signed a very team-friendly deal as a 5th round pick. That does not make it "reasonable" just because it makes fans happy. For all we know, Beane is offering $11M and Cook's last ask was $13M. Reasonable. All the reports are that they are very close. So it must be reasonable. A lot of assumptions in this post...

Is the 3rd row better or worse than the hospitality tent? 🤔

If that’s your criteria, the list of GMs is very small. The Chiefs GM has, for example, drafted one.

Absolutely vile - this is how you repay Americans who stepped up when the country needed them? Shameful doesn’t even begin to cover it.

It is extremely common practice in the NFL for players outplaying their rookie contracts to get new contracts, extensions. In fact, when that happens it seems to be done consistently. It is expected to happen. Teams don't know what exactly they are getting until the new player shows up on the field. This sometimes makes the rookie first contract not representative of the player's value. That is clearly the case with Cook, so he expects a big raise, playing like a game changing starting back, who can run and catch with the best backs in the league. It is a 'duh' that he deserves a new contract as he has far outplayed his rookie deal. And he wants to be paid like one of the best backs in the league, as he considers himself that. I do too and hope the Bills come to their senses--soon.
