Nah, AAV matters here. Yeah, the guaranteed amount is also very important. But if he plays out the contact (reasonably likely), he'll receive precisely the $46M over four years. And since his last year he receives $10.4 (plus $1M escalator each of the last two years if he plays 45% of snaps and we make the playoffs), even if he leaves a year early he'll have made nearly exactly the AAV times three years instead of four.

Why Trump’s Alaska Summit Was a Masterstroke of Leadership And Why the Left Can’t Handle It by Yassin Fawaz In a world where the mainstream media and radical left thrive on lies and misinformation, it’s no surprise that President Trump’s recent diplomatic efforts in Alaska are being twisted and ridiculed. Their agenda is clear: to undermine any success Trump achieves. In today’s political landscape, these forces have perfected the art of distortion, weaponizing every word and action to portray genuine leadership as a failure. No matter what President Trump does, they will twist it into failure. The recent Alaska Summit is no exception. They say Trump “left no deal struck,” “made no progress,” or worse, that he “failed.” But here’s the reality they don’t want you to see: Donald Trump showed what real leadership looks like—he took the first steps toward peace in a world desperate for it, put the ball firmly in Russia’s court, and sent a message that America under Trump means business. Let’s get one thing crystal clear: this war in Ukraine did not start under Trump’s watch. It started under Joe Biden’s watch, and Biden was a weak, indecisive president who couldn’t keep America safe or respected on the world stage. Biden’s failed policies and feckless approach invited chaos. While Biden played politics and hid behind empty slogans, Trump was out there putting American interests first, rebuilding alliances, and making the tough calls that the radical left couldn’t stomach. Alaska Summit wasn’t a press conference or a reality TV stunt; it was real diplomacy. Trump went to extend a hand of peace, and open a door that the Biden administration ignored. He didn’t come with ultimatums or force deals. Instead, he put the responsibility where it belongs: on Russia, Ukraine, NATO, and Europe. Do you want peace? It’s on you to make it happen. No one is forcing anything; no deals are being imposed. That is leadership, not weakness.

Act accordingly.

If only they could find a way to get Goodell to enforce a rule that teams are only allowed to play their 2nd- and 3rd-string players against Miami, they might be on to something.

Very funny, but a lot of people don’t realize Palazzolo is nearly six feet tall.

Biden Judge Blocks FTC Investigation Into Far-Left Media Matters Gateway Pundit, by Cristina Laila A federal judge on Friday shut down the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) investigation into far-left Media Matters. US District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan, a Biden appointee, issued an injunction against the FTC and blocked its investigation into Media Matters. The judge said the Trump Administration illegally retaliated against Media Matters. “This case presents a straightforward First Amendment violation,” judge Sparkle Sooknanan wrote. In May, the Federal Trade Commission launched an investigation into Media Matters for America, the far left group that targets conservative media outlets and personalities to put them out of business. Media Matters for America is funded by the top Democrat Megadonors who value their work. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/08/biden-judge-shuts-down-ftc-investigation-far-left/

Ah, Bill, you're right, or right in your main idea there anyway. Dang it, I wonder if the details were there at the bottom all along for me to see, as they are now? Dang me. Anyway, it's not in the form of an option bonus, but yeah, various portions of his 2026 salary slowly get guaranteed near the beginning of the league year for each of the next two years till you reach the whole guarantee, which is $28.82M, not $30M, by the way. All $28.82M is guaranteed against injury right at signing. Only $15.28M is FULLY guaranteed at signing but about $10M more of his 2026 and 2027 salary FULLY guarantees by the fifth league day of 2026. That includes $6.22M of his 2027 salary. Which would mean he's unlikely to be cut for performance before the 2027 season unless he has plummeted like a rock. Which hopefully does not happen and is quite unlikely that early after his season at age 27. $2.91M more will guarantee in February of 2027, but again, unless he's has massively regressed, they won't worry about that.

1. Most violent crime is intra-racial, meaning in the case of homicides that if the victim is black, all else being equal, the perpetrator is more likely to be black. In the age of mass surveillance and the widespread use of cameras on even people’s domiciles it’s rare that we have to jump to any conclusions right away. Knocking on doors gives us more knowledge every year. 2. Strict enforcement of all crime in violent crime hotspots is most likely to result in steep drops in crime. We’ve seen it happen before, and following the summer of 2020 we saw the effect that the opposite approach had: not just more homicides but also more fatal traffic accidents among blacks in particular. 3. Gang violence is a large contributor to inner city violent crime in particular. In my area there were recently a lot of OG shot callers and soldiers let out of prison after serving their time (10 year mins) for federal beefs. We subsequently saw a spike in all crimes. 4. I’m bearish on using soldiers to police generally. There are a number of reasons for this but the number of bad cops out there that served in the military is high up on the list.

VDM is the swing tackle anytime he gets plugged in or gets pre-season action he is solid he's also been in the system for over two seasons I think he's the swing tackle no reason to think he has been unseated by Grable or Lundt. So with the starting 5 and Anderson/VDM that takes you to 7 slots. I think they usually carry 9-10 O-line and I think likely they will carry 9. I think SVPG starts on PUP or goes to IR and they will reevaluate them. So then I think Grable and Lundt round out the last two spots on the bench. Grable with a year under his belt I think is someone they probably like as emergency depth and Lundt is probably the inactive 9th linemen they will develop.

The window will remain shut until the defense can finish a big game.

I’d play Winston over Wilson if they don’t wanna start Dart right away. Wilson has been cooked for a couple years. Afraid to take hits and checks down the second he feels pressure.

This is McDermott's defense. I won't accept Babich as a scapegoat if the defense disappoints again. Especially since McDermott personally chose him as an internal hire that he was already comfortable with. He's had almost a decade to get this defense right when it matters and it just has to come through this year.

we will see. I hope he starts a game.

I am one of the few Mr. Brightside haters. No thanks

I believe the $30M guaranteed includes this years 5.6M guaranteed money... technically, he has 24M guaranteed as part of the extension over the next four years (beyond this season).

It's so lame, and they way they tried to inorganically make it some type of Bills tradition just reeks of the kind of crap that newer franchises do when they have zero existing fan culture.

Shavers hasn’t been able to make any roster in 2 seasons and counting.

That may be the worst introduction to a sports interview I’ve ever seen. Not knowing Barry Sanders #20 Detroit Lions jersey .…and assuming it’s the jersey of a rookie QB for the Cleveland Browns….on a national SPORTS show! That’s beyond embarrassing. I’m glad I no longer watch any ESPN talk shows & I’m sad ESPN now has so many events that I like to watch that I feel the need to subscribe to ESPN+ to watch them. ESPN started out in such a promising way. It would be great if they returned to focusing on sports and hired employees primarily on their knowledge of sports.

I can’t see Wilson starting more than 4 games…maybe even zero, at this rate. Developing Jaxson Dart is the only way Daboll keeps his job.

5th round rookie. Had 1.5 sacks vs Lions and apparently flashed a lot.

Our Jordan Phillips? Or is that a rookie?

As little as Samuel has done here he makes it because of his contract and upside. I don’t think they were impressed with Cooper. I’m thinking the Bills keep 6 WRs this year because Shavers or Shenault can provide STs duty. Shenault is another guy I can see getting cut and then the Bills keep on the PS

It felt to me like he was celebrating with the crowd, not taunting the opponent. But definitely a judgement call you don't want to give the refs

Ill bawl.
