Maybe I'm mixing up my hockey and football waiver rules. I though veterans didn't need to go through waivers.

" 3 rd and 12 ....pass over the middle to Cooks for a 14 yard gain.....wait he comes up limping"

Nope. Were talent depleted. Remember the 8 - 8 drought era Bills. Stuck in purgatory, never bottoming out. We've kinda been there at a higher level of that... 2nd rd purgatory. Each year picking 26th-30th.... not acquiring the needed talent to get over the hump, and now picking that late has added up to deplete us. This team is incredibly flawed. Were injury prone. Those players that miss the most games, cost us the most, and hurt us the most being on the bench. It's a non working formula. Josh is almost 30. We can sit in purgatory hoping for a perfect storm of conditions to allow us to win... or step back, tear down the crappy pieces.... get some younger/healthier/cheaper talent in to replace them.... do it once, do it right. Give Josh a real chance

DK Metcalf got an extension, this year he getting $11m and has 9 yards more than Shakir who getting $2.6m this year. Then here's Metcalf cap hit the rest of his contract $31m/$32m/$34m and $41m compared to $6.7m/$13m/$15m/$16m/$1.8m. Yeah sorry give me Shakir over Metcalf based on performance and cap number more than not. Shaheed since traded in 3 games has 3 catches and 30 yards receiving, Coleman has 3 catches 46 yards over the last 3 weeks (which was 1 games played). But yeah let's give up 4th and 5th round picks for the super fast guy.

I think Jeremy wins the argument 😉

Old school

MIKIE *gigglesnorts* it's so cheeky hahahaaaa

He was traded for a first by the Pats FWIW. Brandin Cooks was drafted in the first round, traded for a first to the Pats, traded for a first to the Rams, traded to the Saints for a second.

Beane and McD. They're responsible for Bobby Brady

Your posts are old and not what they once were

No idea if cooks has any juice left but 60% of his starts last year were with cooper rush or trey lance at qb and he was comin off a couple knee procedures so you never know I think the saints attempted some shenanigans to force no teams to be interested in him on waivers but it got shot down. He still was held to the waiver process though but maybe that’s what you were thinking of? they tried to give him more guaranteed money in 2026 so no teams would want him haha pretty sneaky

Yeah….but for other teams. 😉

Definitely cut from the same cloth as he Bosstones. I'd heard the name but never the band. Listened to the album today, right up my alley!

If Brandin scores a touchdown I’ll be impressed.

Appears a replacement for Spencer Brown is coming soon...

His body quit on him. It was clear as day. Anyone who's athletic and washed out at any age or ability can recognize it.

I'm just excited about the headlines when Jimbo and B Cooks have multiple TDs to lead the Bills to victory... "Too many Cook(s) in the kitchen"!

https://dizzypigbbq.com/recipe/mad-max-turkey-method/?srsltid=AfmBOorhC5rYAMglV15tP97jJKANPlniiz_TXC1mbwcPth3QrEtgwxMI You don't need to have a Big Green egg to do this recipe. The principle applies to other charcoal / gas grills as well. The most important part of this method is icing the breasts beforehand so as not to dry them out while cooking the dark meat to doneness. The gravy is hands down the best ever.

Merge with "roster spot to fill the holes" thread please. 😉

500 yards and one TD last season with the Chargers Dude was an afterthought, and he's doing exactly the same here because he's not a starting caliber receiver

A more positive spin is that this is a team in transition, with young, promising players like Hairston, Walker, Hancock, and Sanders not ready to take over from the fast-declining old guard. That's ok--it's hard to stay on top year after year, especially with so many injuries--but the offseason is critical. Beane simply has trim the deadwood and find receivers, linebackers, and (once again) pass rushers. If I were him, I'd consider trading Kincaid, Dawkins, Bernard, Knox, Coleman, and others. Come back next year younger, faster, and less injury-prone.

KJ, that's a great response. I loved the Steakhouse analogy. And the George Pickens reference. I think the key as you said is they do not value talent. And that is why our roster is what it is. Mediocre to poor in many positions. And a great QB and RB. With a good O line, that has seemed to sprung some big leaks of late in pass protection. Add in very mediocre to poor coaching. And a ton of injuries. And I think we are fortunate to be 7-4 this season. But I do not even feel like we are a solid 7-4 type team. As we have looked horrible in several games. (We will find out on Sunday if there is anything left in this reign.) Maybe the signing of Brandon Cooks will put a spark in the offense. And lets hope Brady can use him correctly.

I've just always believed that Cooks was just viewed as a middle of the pack WR1 so teams weren't really inclined to pay him WR1 money for that. There seemed to be a pretty endless supply of playmaking WR's in the draft and defense's really didn't go all-in on capping passing games until after they watched the 13 seconds game in horror realizing that you weren't stopping the likes of Allen/Mahomes without putting a cap on big plays. Cooks production started to dry up after that. 2017 was arguably Brady's second best year in NE statistically. With Cooks there. The Patriots were notorious for not valuing WR talent. Brady's efficiency fell off considerably the next two seasons after the Cooks trade. Perhaps if they had kept Cooks that divorce never happens. By the time Brady left they had a WR room that was about bottom-of-league like Josh has now.

I think Gregg Easterbrook used to say something about good teams making hay in the off-season while the rest made panic moves during the season. regardless, we’re in panic mode
