He doesn't suck. But he also doesn't perform at a level where we should be keeping him instead of saving 10 million in Cap Space. Like I said, on the open market at 29 years old with the kind of production he gives us - he'd be lucky to make much more than a 3rd of that. If we were in better shape cap wise or Draft Pick wise and didn't have the kind of Free Agents we have - I could understand a pay cut that would have us paying a little more than he's worth and saving a little less than what we'd get cutting him. But we're not in that shape and 10 mil is just too much to pass up. People said the same thing about Tre. He's too loved by everyone in the locker room. That only goes so far in business.

Jim Everett I think

And this is Josh's reaction

Wilkins when he sees Josh in the showers Just to be clear this is just a joke and I voted “yes” in the poll. If your culture can’t handle Wilkins in the locker room then your culture sucks and is weak.

You could put Mahomes on any of the other AFC contenders other than the Bills, and they would be better than the Chiefs are with Mahomes, talentwise.

I could just tell by the signature of the top that's the Buffalo News caricature guy who has won some awards That's funny

I said they should let him walk because I thought they shouldn’t pay him more than $12.5M per year and there were rumors he wanted $15-20M. He ended up signing for just under $12M per year and is now playing like the best RB we’ve had since Thurman. Only thing I’m eating is wagyu and caviar.

The Chiefs have plenty of great talent. Kelce is still a force, Nick Bolton, Chris Jones, McDuffie, Creed Humphrey. The Bills beat a really good team on Sunday.

We need to get cook a smelling salts sponsorship, ya dig?

is that the guy who beat up Jim Rome ?

Yes, but I'd be surprised if that alone dropped him to the 6th. Normally when a guy slides that far there is some sort of medical or off field flag.

Yea, he's pretty darn doap, ya dig?

He's going to a undisclosed location.

That's why I'm man enough to come here and admit he's worth every penny and more rn I just didn't want to give a running back 15 million dollars a year who doesn't look like a traditional thoroughbred and hasn't done much blocking And he has continued to get better and better I'm afraid about getting running backs long contracts because they don't age well but he's absolutely electric and like I said worth every penny Not afraid to eat crow

Weren't you saying he wasn't a 3 Down Back? 😱

Absolutely we have both always agreed his vision is as good as it comes .. truly elite He never looks flustered , never a wasted movement , he trusts his vision no hesitation... Everything about his running style before you even get into his physical attributes is elite

208 yards until he reaches Trent Green 217 until Chris Chandler I love you, Josh Allen!

Maybe? I just remember hearing his fall was in part due to that he was considered a Zone Specific CB Prospect. Which made him great for us, but not for everyone.

"Nah should let him walk. Ray Davis can do the same behind this line." Anyone who had that take should be here to eat crow. Cook's vision is absolutely elite. That is always what wins for running backs. A bit of speed is nice too. Size is good if you can find it. But vision always wins. He was underrated the last two seasons by a large chunk of Bills fans. He is without doubt a top 5 back.

The IR point was a fair and good one. But even with the IR guys figured in, the number will probably still be around or close to 20 bodies needing to be re-signed or replaced. We're looking at: QB: Josh Allen RB: James Cook Ty Johnson Ray Davis WR: Khalil Shakir Joshua Palmer Keon Coleman Curtis Samuel Tyrell Shavers TE: Dalton Kincaid Dawson Knox Jackson Hawes OL: Dion Dawkins O'Cyrus Torrence Spencer Brown Sedrick Van Pran-Granger Chase Lundt Tylan Grable DE: Greg Rousseau Michael Hoecht Landon Jackson Javon Solomon DT: Ed Oliver Deone Walker T.J. Sanders Dewayne Carter LB: Terrel Bernard Dorian Williams Joe Andreessen CB: Christian Benford Maxwell Hairston Taron Johnson Dorian Strong Brandon Codrington S: Cole Bishop Taylor Rapp Jordan Hancock Wande Owens ST: Tyler Bass Reid Ferguson But as you said, that number includes guys like Ty Johnson, Curtis Samuel, Dawson Knox, Taylor Rapp, and Tyler Bass of which a number of them will be released to create cap space. Also Brandon Codrington (who could be cut at any point but definitely by next season), Dorian Strong (who is likely to not be on the roster bc of long term IR or outright Retirement), and Wande Owens (an UDFA who is only on the IR roster bc he was waived while injured and went unclaimed and is unlikely to be in their long term plans). I still think it's not going to be a small task to not only replace all of these players, re-sign important pieces, and/or upgrade positions with the amount of Draft Picks we have and the amount of space we have (even with the money we'll come up with from releases and restructures). As while we be in decent shape as far as people under contract - we aren't in great shape in both cap and amount of Draft Picks. It really comes down to what we wanted to do. For example - the one player that made the most sense that we were linked to that was traded was WR Rashid Shaheed. The cost for Seattle was a 2026 4th & a 2026 5th. Many have said "why couldn't you pay that?". The issue there is that even though Seattle has the same record as us, New Orleans would view our pick as more likely than not coming in below Seattle's pick (given our history and, well, Josh Allen). So we'd have to beat it. Which since we don't have more than one 4th - would require a 3rd and a 5th. So now we'd be costing ourselves 2 replacement bodies in the first 5 Rounds, as well as cap space if we wanted to have him beyond this year. A steep price to pay in the grand scheme of things.
