Whether the gap is large or not, if the Bills are at their ceiling as far as offers go and Cook is still pushing for more the stalemate can easily continue. Cook isnt worth more than $13.5 million a year. A new contract for him should be around 4/$53.5 million. Thats the very top the Bill should be willing to give him in both years and cash. If Cook is looking for $15-$20 million he needs to test free agency in March. He is a good back, but he plays with a superstar QB, a great offensive line, and comes off the field on 3rd downs. He should not sniff what Barkley, McCaffrey, or Henry make.

Also, they certainly don't want to play Bosa in preseason, and Rousseau only a bit (if at all)....maybe not even AJ the way he has been playing. They don't want to play the rookies the whole game, so they need some bodies.

I assume your 5% figure (coming from PSLs) is accurate. Just to be accurate, state and county 38% is also coming from us (the taxpayers) . Terry and the NFL portion is also coming from us (from profits). As we are the ultimate consumer, all costs are ultimately borne by us. I'm not complaining, just clarifying.

Hopefully he’s chowing down on these Amirite

Dallas is going to want a lot more than what you offered. Epenesa had 6 sacks last year, the second round pick is presumably going to be a late 2, and Cook is great but a running back doesn’t have the value of a top 3 defensive end, who is also only 26. At the very least it’s going to cost multiple 1st round picks, and that’s just the start. AJ has no trade value, no team is jumping to get him, ima use Dallas wouldn’t even care if they got him in a deal. To get a prime time player, the Bills would have to make a prime time offer. Epenesa and a 2nd is not even remotely close to that

If it is close just push it across the line and move along.

😂

I was at this practice and saw some of the water bottle back and forth between tre and this kid and was wondering what was going on (missed how it started) - went on most of practice

He also sat out multiple 4th quarters during blowouts. Thats why when people were say "Lamar had better stats", well yeah he played more. Josh probably sat out 2.5 games in total

Slacker

That’s right, I already forgot about him,

You're all gonna be sorry when the Golden Ghost racks up 90 sacks this season. Leave Baylon alone!!

I think this was only true from like 2019 to 2021. It’s been a disaster since. Tre (twice) Milano (twice) The Bengals playoff game Hamlin Von The 2024 Chiefs playoff game - no LBs Benford Bishop Rapp (did he miss the Rams game?) The numbers weren’t too high but the injuries were of massive significance when we couldn’t afford them. Defenses can’t really overcome those. Offenses can if you have an elite QB to mask them. That’s why when Keon or Knox or Kincaid miss time, Allen is still going to get us points. When teams lose 1 or 2 significant starters on D it seems like they always go to ***t. That has not happened to the Chiefs in any playoff run. They’ve missed guys on O but not so much on D like ever. That I recall.

Well, Specter is hurt, again. That's my guess.

Significant risk in a prolonged holdout. He would be effectively diminishing his value for his contract year. As you call out, Davis could perform, which further diminishes his value. Another person called out Bell for the Steelers in 2018 as an example from my post. Even so, we are talking about an event that happens maybe once a decade. The probability he practices and gets injured is far greater than a holdout creating a situation that is truly detrimental to our success. Everybody gets hurt in such a situation and likely for that reason it is extremely uncommon in the NFL.

When ya can't have Mack....

Okay, the question is why, and who is hurt /underperforming that they decided to sign him, inquiring minds want to know, 😁🍸🚬

Thank you for trying to make me feel better. As a homely yet ultimately lovable man, I’ve come to grips with meangirlitis of people like @ComradeKayAdams and keep it in a lock box of sorts to spur me on. Sure, I fire down an extra rack of my favorite cookies now and again to assuage my pain, but 6 days out of 7 I’m doing well for an ugly bugger. As for Megyn K, I kinda like her style. The ‘y’thing may be parental, not really sure and to be blunt, I think she’s a lovely lady but a bit slender. Of course, I fit the category of “older men” as described.

Oh well. The GOP doesn’t want to play nice, why should Dems? As I said, it’s like extracting pus from a wound.

Now you’re moving the goalposts. Not unlike you, I will say. Half true.

I don't want to just beat them, but give them a beat down and set the tone for the season

Agreed. Week 1 really sets the tone for the season and IMO the Ravens are the best team in the NFL. This could have huge implications for the #1 seed.
