Just when I thought nothing could be worse than last year.

You are one cold mfer...😁

Cook was nowhere near the player of last year in his first 2 seasons. Surely Davis could improve? In any case Cook will be forced to play this year whatever happens, so the actual alternative is Davis in year 3 + a drafted speed back (for example) or an FA back next year. Not sure it would be that far off what Cook provides in the aggregate. Good player for sure, great last year in fact, but there is some severe overrating going on with this guy. Or to put it another way the extra dollars on WR or Edge have the potential for a bigger talent upgrade than the seeming downgrade at RB Agree with you in the pass game - need to see it to believe it.

????? This could not be less relevant to what I said.

Bunch of snitches in this thread. I know who I'm not partying with!

Whatever happened to the turkey burgers at SJF? Can we talk about them?

Baylon Spector is injured, why bother?

The bit about the contract is straight, but the number of snaps is incorrect. He's been primarily a STer, 328 defensive snaps, 384 ST snaps #STsnapscount

Idk, it's kind of timeless in a way, not a bad thing at all. I need to not buy anymore hats, but I'll trade 3 current ones for 1 of those.

Homestain taking his morning dump...

That's 12M before taxes. The $6M after tax is a lot of money, but most folks wouldn't call that generational wealth. Sure if well managed it might turn into generational wealth, but so can $1M. If you invested $1M in the Nasdaq 100 index 30 years ago, it'd be worth over $15M today.... No one is asking him to take a discount to please the fans. I think these are his options: 1. Play out the reminder of the existing contract (he gets $5M this year). If he has another great season, his worse case scenario is the franchise tag and a one year contract. The franchise tag one year contract for running backs next year is probably $14M-$16M. $20Mish over two years, but the big downside is year-to-year guarantees. If he has a down year or misses time due to injury, he risks 3/4 of that $20M. 2. Accept the Bills offer, which he clearly feels is less than he is worth. I'll assume the Bills have offered him at least $10M/year for 4 years with 3 years guaranteed, but we have no information on their offer. It's probably at least $30M guaranteed. This greatly reduces his financial exposure and the downside risk of bad season or a major injury. 3. Try to get more money. He can agitate (Hold out, hold in, request trade, etc). If this becomes annoying enough (or a big enough distraction), the Bills might do something to get him more money (increase their offer, trade him, promise not to franchise him next year, etc). Since he has nothing to lose because he can always choose #1, or #2, why not try #3? Hold in seems to fit all his goals in ensuring he does not get injured during camp and possibly getting him more money, but he doesn't really have a lot of choices once the season starts. If the Bills don't change their offer and don't trade him, once the season starts he has to play a lot of football for the Bills if he wants to get paid in the future.

That's always been his story, right? He plays well and knows the scheme well enough that McD had him competing with Dodson and Bernard for the MLB job in 2023. But he just can't be counted on to be available. IMHO the Bills would do well to give roster space to someone less injury prone. He wasn't available for more than 1/3 of a playoff game in '23 - one of the reasons we called AJ Klein off the sofa into the MLB spot vs KC. According to Spotrac, $2.9M for 26 NFL games (712 snaps) to date. Roughly $4k per snap Peanuts compared to what Von got
