Question no "journalist" will ask Joe Biden: "Joe, who stopped you from running for president in 2016? You were the sitting VP. Why didn't you run, and, instead, gave the field to Obama's Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton? Who are your true masters?" .

Someone in the pro scouting dept must be on a pretty short leash with that recommendation.

I think it’s the speed and the fact that Moore has played for bad teams with bad QBs. Palmer was playing with Justin Herbert. Moore can do something the Bills have been missing, which is consistently getting to the third level. His ability to do that will open up the field. Which means everyone gets to eat more. This offense could be really dangerous.

I like your thinking. You start one for the pros. I'll follow up with a cons.

We definitely need a couple of burner identities here. 'Jeremy' and 'Sneaky Joe' should work.

Do we really need to resign the 117th [of 125] ranked wideout in the league last year? Even his run-blocking which he was praised for was less than stellar last season.

Cook is a tough prospect for armchair GMs, because he's clearly a tier below the truly elite guys, which last year was Barkley & Henry, but he's also good enough that he's very hard to replace. Contrast that with Singletary, who was (and is) a good NFL RB, but ultimately doesn't give you much more than a guy off the street. A lot of those runs where Cook got into the secondary untouched weren't just due to the O-line. It was also Cook using his vision to pick the right hole, then using his elite acceleration to burst through before the defense could get there. We've seen a ton of outside runs the last couple years where Cook just turned on the jets and was able to turn the corner on the edge defender. They didn't all go for long runs, but every one of those was a significant swing for the Bills. Turning a potential -1 to 1 yard play into a 7 yard play makes a big difference, especially when it keeps going our way over and over. In summary, I would love to have Cook back beyond this year. I'm also weary of paying money to any RB, and extra weary of paying Cook elite money when he's been a step shy of elite. I'm hoping that he balls out this year, and either we re-sign him longterm, or we get some real compensation for him in like a tag-and-trade scenario. (By which I mean something better than a 3rd-round comp pick in 2027.)

Yes, exactly. $15m a year for a two-down RB is not manageable.

He raises the floor. Potential will have to meet production for the room to keep him off the field. That happens it’s a win for the team. Someone doesnt or an injury happens he slides right in a win for the team.

It's not about that chart it's about getting what we want from them. They have to buy more X from us and do other things that we are not privy to. They need to beef up military, they are way behind on what they should be spending. They have to do whatever we tell them and apparently they bent the knee already

Isn't that true for any player that we want?

This is very cool and impressive. The architecture of Buffalo is severely underrated by those who are not aware

Wait. So do you want him or not? I mean, your original post reads kind of as if you do, but also that you don't? Now this post states you do? I'm now confused. And you don't bring people in that have consistent miscommunication with your QB after 4 years of playing with said QB

Problem is the Bills in order to accommodate signing DK would have not only had to have given up a 2nd plus a late pick at minimum would also likely not have been able to sign many if any significant defensive free agents. I get that the Bills wouldn't have signed Palmer but he's only accounting for about 27.5% of what DK is making, probably wouldn't have been able to manage the Bosa or Hoecht signings as an example.

You can't even get yourself to look at Elon in a neutral light. Your programming is impressive.

Nobody is going to offer him more than what Jacksonville is on the hook for. He will sign for the vet minimum and continue to collect the remainder of his pay from Jacksonville. He has complete control over where he wants to go. He can choose to chase a title as a role player or try to find a spot on a team that needs him to be a WR2/3 in hopes that he can get enough receptions and stats to get another deal down the road.

He's still around (87). His son (Jr.) is the PR spokesman for Erie county

Whoever performs the worst from Samuel, Moore or Davis. Or an injury happens and everyone is retained. That simple.

He will play for the vet minimum this year. His Jags contract has offset language. That means every dollar over the minimum that someone else wants to pay a dollar comes off the Jags deal. There is no incentive, at all, to play for more than the minimum. Gabe makes no more money.

Been talked about to death in the Gabe thread. Many fans (like myself) don't mind kicking the tires on a vet minimum in camp, but he's not likely to be a difference maker as he wasn't capable of being a WR2 when he was here. Some fans just don't think he has anything and isn't even worth a 90 man roster spot. Personally given that I don't think a 90 man roster spot is that valuable why not kick the tires?

Yes, they did the smart cap thing and smart way to run a franchise. But I would have sacrificed one D slot this season and a next season pick to bring in DK. The level he could elevate the offense, would have made a huge difference. He would have been Allens Kelcie. And made the O near un-stopable. Not saying they can't get it down with what we got. I have a feeling Moore is going to have a good year. And Keon will continue to improve.

No different than why they bring any min vet in after the draft competition. A lot of potential in the room without a lot of production.

Got it. I had to re-read it. Oddly worded but I understand now.

I've heard some of the same speculation, and I'm with you on Carter. From the way Beane was talking in post-draft, it sounds like Carter is going to "move" to primarily 1tech instead of primarily 3tech. Sanders and Ogunjobi are primarily 3techs, per Beane. Walker is a little different in that he played more 3tech in college but it sounds like the Bills want him to play more 1tech for them, maybe. But in any case, they need at least 2 guys capable of adequately playing 1tech on early downs. If Carter just bombs out, then sure he might be cut. I don't see that as super likely, and frankly it's bad business to cut a 3rd-round pick in year 2 unless you're certain he can't play. Regarding Jones, any cap implications if he's cut in week 6? His salary would be guaranteed by then, so Pegula would have to eat that, but that aspect doesn't impact the cap.

Gabe is probably the 2nd best WR currently available behind Keenan Allen. He will likely get offers far and away higher than what we could offer. They said maybe the Steelers would be interested as a Pickens replacement
