I mean I get what you’re saying but the Bills have set themselves up for long term success on the offensive line. Their two tackles are locked in on long term deals. I think the next thing on Beanes to do list is McGovern and now can utilize the franchise tag on him if necessary. I think they let David Edwards walk after the season but have Alec Anderson ready to go on a cheap deal for either Exwards or McGovern and Grable can either be the primary swing tackle with the capability of him moving inside or pushing Dawkins inside as he ages. That doesn’t include Lundt who while early, looked impressive in his first action and Sedrick Van Pran who has been a bit of an afterthought because he’s been injured this preseason. As long as Kromer is here developing these mid to late round guys I don’t have a lot of worry about the OL especially with Allen behind Center

How is it not? 4 added to the 1 remaining. That is 9.6 apv. 30 guaranteed spread over 5 years. Buffalo will have outs in 2 and 3 years while having no real guaranteed money remaining. It’s a 5 year deal with Buffalo being able to walk away after 3 or 4 years and create cap space.

I hope they pitch in together and buy my a Cook jersey

Are you suggesting something needs to be done about crime?

I actually have a ton of confidence in our development of OL. Beane does well when he has a strong guiding hand on the coaching staff, Aaron Kromer is that on the OL. Much like Sean McDermott is that with DB. They’ll hit at these spots more often than not because they clearly do a good job collaborating. I’m hoping that Ryan Nielsen becomes the same value for us on the defensive line. Yes, people can point at the misses like Ford or Elam, but misses are inevitable. I feel very good about those two personnel groups.

Dawkins and Brown are locked up long term. I think the plan is probably to do the same with Torrence if he progresses like how they think he will this year. Young, drafted player who they can extend 4 years, maybe with some void years. My guess is the Cook contract makes it tough, but not impossible, to extend McGovern and/or Edwards. Luckily we have, probably, the best OL Coach in the game right now and they seem to be as good as anyone in the league and identifying and drafting OL.

That might be it. "Mike Webster" was well beyond my feeble abilities to turn into a D joke.

Great video but man Chris Brown’s calls are just brutal sometimes

I love James Cook. I'm so happy for him and the Bills

Our backup TE is set to make $14.5M this year and $17M next year. We pay Samuel $9M to be WR4 role player. We just handed Hoecht $7M/yr to sit out suspended. Ed Oliver is good and all but set to make $25M next year. There's a lot of other money to worry about than $12M for what Cook brings to the table. To the flip side: We have our Franchise QB locked up We have our OTs locked up We do not have any major WRs who will command $30M or even $20M We just got all the other major extensions done. The cap is skyrocketing every season with streaming money (a huge $25M jump that last couple of years) We have other guys we can restructure IOL is in the same underpaid boat as RB. To @Ya Digg?'s point, there is no need to worry about this $12M contract.

Lots of complaining here. This program is supposed to reporting the softer side of the sport. The Bills story is teamwork, family, strong sense of community, pride, the underdog, never give up, etc. That is what we are getting. Just remember the days when the Bills were irrelevant, had no star players, and were barely on any the NFL national coverage. You get one life. Time tics away. I am enjoying this.

That's fair. I am personally high on Cybo as I think he is a good, ascending player. Needs to improve against some of those twitchy 3 Techs a bit, and sometimes has a hard time picking up the right blitzer. But loving his trajectory and I think he's about to have a big year. (I hope lol)

It’s in an extremely crime-ridden area and switched management companies which killed its supply chain. But surely you wouldn’t fall for rage bait like that, would you?

but then throw in the historically bad, never-going-to-recover economy, and what do you have????

That’s a no brainer!

I do think we need to see Cook utilized more in the passing game now. Hes a way better runner than I ever though he would be, but he was drafted as a pass catcher and if we truly want to maximize this contract, he should be used like Alvin Kamara was in his prime.

Dems: “Yes we should try this.” Reality: Every time.

mostly because if Cook doesnt have a dominate run OLine in front of him, i dont think he puts up those numbers, and doesnt get paid like this. so sacrificing a top tier OLine because Cook wanted to be overpaid puts the team in a bad spot. has nothing to do with the other skill positions. i dont believe anybody else to be overpaid at the moment.

Haters are going to hate. It’s not rational. I don’t know how well the deal will workout, but I suspect it be fine. Assuming he stays healthy, I can easily see us getting 3 good years from him. If that happens, the contract will be a bargain. Remember he had a light work load in college leaving more tread on the tire for the NFL. The presence of Davis and Johnson lessen Cook’s work load as well and imho make it more likely he’ll stay healthy and be a major contributor over the life of the deal. I’m glad this is over and find it funny that there are many posts already trying to trade Cook.

Cook would be awesome in tecmo bowl...Get the corner and goodbye...

The first of many

Well that would be easier. Sign Bo Jackson and you literally wouldn't need a single other player!

Stick to Tecmo Bowl

why are there two threads?
