This Bishop statement is outstanding-PEAK offseason nonsense and I love it! Little evidence to suggest growth-no crap, they’ve had lifting and like 3 OTA practices. Then you compare it to Bernard’s 2nd year that nobody saw coming. Great, nonsensical stuff!!!

I don't know if Beane sees it that way though. A surprising amount of GM's around the league don't. I keep hearing he never gives RB's second contracts but the only two pieces of evidence are Singletary or Moss who are just JAG's. He was in on trading for McCaffrey (who also happened to be the 1st round pick the last year he was with the Panthers) and has even said that he'd consider drafting a RB in the 1st round. If he thinks that way why even have an analytic staff? I'd rather draft a RB that at minimum gives me 85% of what Cook gives me for a fifth of the price.

If you have the ability to have not one, but two bonafide WR1's on your roster and fit it in your salary cap (as the Bengals did) - it would be absurd not to do that. WR is a premium position. If I had one complaint about Beane, it's that he allocates too much cap to non-premium positions. Making it difficult to make big moves at premium positions. I'm jealous that Cinci is the kind of place that realizes that if it comes down to not paying a LB so that you can pay a top end WR - you do that. Um... it comes down to his market. I do believe that Middle Linebacker is the least deep position on the team and have been surprised that no one has been brought in to at least compete with Buffalo Joe and Baylon Spector. I like Joe. He exceeded expectations as a UDFA from UB. But is he someone I think we should be relying on if something were to happen to Bernard? No, I don't. If Pratt has starting options or people offering him any sort of big money (relative to what he is), than no. But if his market is one in which he's willing to take a backup gig for backup money for us - absolutely.

I see Dorian Strong as a relative lock, personally, barring injury or very unforeseen flop. Tre White I could even see agreeing to go to the PS to help the Bills secure a young prospect like Strong on the roster. But knowing that Alexander is unlikely to play for Buffalo in 2025, I'm thinking White simply replaces him in your depth chart and Strong beats out Ingram and Jackson. Hancock is also a lock, but as NCB, DB, or S?

Anyone here care to answer ?

They're so emotional... a bunch of girls crying over facts on a sports message board.

I'm not too worried about it. The Bills have never passed on a RB in the draft or let one go in free agency and lived to regret it. It's the nature of the position. Replaceable. You can find talented one's all over the draft and at different levels of free agency. If Cook tore his ACL on the first day of camp I'd expect Johnson, Davis and whoever else they had to be plenty good enough to win a SB with. And the fact that Cook has had to come off the field on passing downs diminishes his value to me further until he can prove more worthy of being on the field on those downs. Those are the downs that ended their season the past two years.

They have the option of the franchise tag also. the bills rarely use it but it’s there if they want to.

I agree with your comments -right on about the defense!

No it wasn't. Most teams should at least be able to pay two guys at premium positions near top of the market money even with your QB getting elite money. I think the Eagles just did. Outside WR is a premium position. It's on the Bengals now to nail the draft and find value free agents.

There are LOTS of examples, but I will go with this one A thread Homey brings back every evening. 84 posts...........................62 by homelander..............................3 by the next highest. He is talking with himself.

Cook's relatively low mileage (in college and the pros) is a positive with respect to the RB age cliff, but also a potential negative with respect to his overall evaluation (why hasn't he had a larger snap % thus far in his career). The safest bet in my opinion is to help Cook go bonkers in this contract year, and allow him to move on with dignity. That seems like what Beane has in mind. Then Davis and Johnson and another rookie (or other low-risk acquisition) steps up. And so on and so forth.

Not everybody fits in these categories. But they explain a large part of the motivations and anger behind each party.

never thought for minute that he wouldn't. And y'all wanted this.
