I’d like to see some supporting evidence that the dollar amount of WR overpays in FA over the last 3 seasons is equivalent to any other position sans QB. the Beasley and Brown contracts were in 2019. The NFL has changed a bit since then. Amari Cooper wasn’t a free agent. Diggs didn’t play a snap on the extension given to him in 2022, are you being sarcastic that it was worth every penny?

Remember when they "turned down the temperature" for five minutes?

We've now had a decade of hysterics about "fascism" and "Nazis" in America, with the press calling ordinary border enforcement and policing things like "ethnic cleansing," "white supremacy," and even "genocide." In Trump's first term, it led to the Congressional baseball shooting targeted at Steve Scalise. This time around, we have Luigi Mangione and now today's diabolical attack in Minnesota, allegedly by Vance Luther Boelter. There are far too many mentally unstable and suggestible people on the left for them to so recklessly turn up the political temperature every time they lose an election.

I've always agreed with this approach to foreign policy as laid out by Levin here. This is what I'm talking about with the split between MAGA conservatives and traditional conservatives when it comes to foreign policy. Trump trying to appease both is tough to do.

⬆️ Hey Finding! Scoreboard.

People on the left have to do an honest evaluation of their party and goals and ask themselves why this is happening. Its one thing to go behind the keyboard and play the role of a troll, but things like this are happening almost once a week now. It is also time for all of the media to take a long look at how they are delivering news and acknowledge the potential impact that it is having on viewers in a post COVID society where mental health issues are widespread in every area and demographic.

The stupid OP couldn’t wait to blame this on MAGA. It looks like it wasn’t done by a MAGA. If it’s true and it wasn’t done by a MAGA, should the braindead OP apologize to the board?

I don’t actually think Cook is as valuable as most here. His workload and usage doesn’t warrant a premium contract IMO. Over the last two seasons the Bills found the right usage. He broke down in 2023 and the Bills reduced his usage in 2024, which worked well. I have broken this down a couple times already but it equated to about 50% of snaps in competitive situations in 2024. By contrast, Barkley plays nearly 100% of snaps while games are competitive. His usage is probably even more important. Cook is a 1st and 2nd down player. He’s not on the field for obvious passing downs or for obvious running downs. No 3rd/4th and short. No goal to go from short either. He wasn’t on the field for 3rd downs or obvious passing downs because he’s only an okay receiver and he’s poor at pass protection. He’s also not on the field at the end of close games when we are running the ball to close it out. So what does Cook do well? 1st & 10 or 2nd and 5, he’s been really good. He's kept the load off of Allen and that certainly has value. But I dare say that there are a lot of RBs that could be effective in those situations with Allen at QB keeping defenses honest. And of all the high leverage situations on offense, Cook isn’t on the field for any of them. So I just don’t think a premium contract anywhere close to $15M AAV can be justified. In short, even if Cook does give us an extra 10% on plays (and that’s debatable) it’s got less value on the plays he’s in for than it would on the higher leverage ones that he’s on the bench for.

Well, if that's the point it's a bit off target. The reason WRs are paid more is that they're more valuable to the team. It's that simple. More, while there are overpays at WR, there are also underpays and values that are right on target. Overpays hurt regardless of position. You claimed that Harty was an overpay. Fair enough. That Harty contract hurt more than the Bears got hurt overpaying for Tremaine Edmunds because Harty is a WR and Edmunds isn't? Nonsense. Each contract will hurt more or less based on a ton of factors, including performance, injuries, team fit, contract specifics and on and on and on. Position isn't particularly one of those factors. The Bills have gotten plenty of good values at WR as well, John Brown, Manny Sanders, Cole Beasley, Mack Hollins, Amari Cooper and on and on. Diggs' 2022 extension was worth every penny. And the success of the Bills offense, and team, speaks for itself on how well these tactics have worked.

Kid is consistently extreme with his comments up to being “very pleased” with the idea of ICE agents being murdered. All the while imagining he’s got the high moral ground. It’s disgusting.

A top 15 RB because of the higher hit rate at the position along, you can draft a 1st/2nd round prospect in the 3rd round, you get him in his peak physical years, and you don't have to worry about giving him a 2nd contract.

***** him. That ***** made an insinuation in the last day or two that he was going to start “taking his 2nd amendment right” more seriously. We all know what he meant by that.

I’ve got nothing with animal crackers. Sometimes there are Animal Crackers in Happy meals though.

According to ABC News, the list included several high-profile Democratic politicians, such as Governor Tim Walz, Representative Ilhan Omar, Senator Tina Smith, and Attorney General Keith Ellison. The names also included abortion providers and pro-abortion rights advocates. Seems like a liberal for sure. Waltz appoints him 6 years ago and now he has ties to Waltz? This is insane *****.

The radical Left is a terrorist organization and should be treated as such

So you Mass Deportation advocates: tell me how this is supposed to work. Stephen Miller (he controls the autopen that is the remnants of Trump's brain) mandates 3,000 deportations a day. Local ICE bosses say, well, then we gotta go where the illegal aliens are rather than waiting for criminals to drop into our lap. Targets worksites: construction, agriculture, hotel maids, whatever. Old school republicans complain: we can't stay in business if you deport our workers! Trump says "I hear you." No more targeting our great hotels or farmers or construction companies. Just get the criminals. Maybe jingoistic vote-for-me things like "mass deportation" don't really translate into governance? Who'd have thunk it?

Can we be better than blaming and insulting either political party when somebody dies like this? It’s an American for gods sake. Nobody wants this *****.

Big Johnny Cash fan, another great story teller Some of Knopflers music reminds me of him.

⬆️ Biden is mentally fit dude sezwhat? 😂

That basically applies to all premium positions. The premium aka edge/island positions in the NFL today are: QB PassRush1 LT WR1 CB1 (if system is man coverage because zone coverage is not playing on an island) First and Second round for sure and subsequent mid-rounds if the evaluation is close......go premium. This thread is talking about efficiency..........if you are going to be shopping in free agency you are most likely to get value from FA from the non-premium positions like Guard, Safety and RB. The Bills have invested recent second rounders in all 3.

Yeah, those are the ones that significant contracts. The problem with “any position” is that WR is quickly becoming the second highest paid position. So an overpay or bad contract for a mid tier off-ball linebacker will hurt less than an overpay or bad contract for a mid tier WR. That’s the point.
