    Oh, that easy? :lol:

     

    I think Cook's agent would slam the phone down on your ear at that offer.

     

    And Cook could also blow his ACL out or tear his achilles in October. And totally destroy his projected net worth. 

     

    Or he could take a sure thing of 35 or 40 million now. Invest it wisely. And live comfortably off of it for the rest of his life. 

     

    I guess it depends if he's willing to gamble. That's why the guaranteed money is so important to players. And to be honest the agent is taking the exact same risk. A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush.

    This goes beyond OTAs. 
     

    I’m close to 40 years into my Bills fan hood. 

    The difference between him and Super Bowl winning QBs is work ethic. 

     

    I will most certainly not give it a break. 
     

     

     

    It might be time for somebody to get a life. And let Josh live his. He just got married for Christ's sake.

    That's stating a fact. Through three games, he was on that pace. I never predicted what his final stats would have been or will be in the future. 

     

    That said, nothing he did was flukey or gimmicky. With Kelce slowing down, Brown injured and Worthy needing time to learn, he probably would have put up big numbers. 

    Greg Rousseau had 3 sacks in the first game last year vs. the Cardinals. On pace for 51 for the season. A new NFL record. He finished with 8. Just stating facts.

    Interesting. Nohl Williams's zone numbers are better and his man numbers worse than I'd have guessed off the games of his I've watched. He is my CB10 after the normal nine names have gone. Might bring him into my thinking at the bottom of the 2nd. 

     

    I'd consider Harmon. He'd be tough for me to pass on. I'd take Amos or Hariston over Grant. 

     

    What exactly do those abbreviations stand for...? 

     

    YSNP ? 

    FI% ? 

    RTG? 

     

    I'm assuming RTG is rating...

    The one thing I will say living in Buffalo my entire life 

     

    I have met 100,000 people that were at the comeback game.. every single person.. they all stayed 

    I actually was at the game with my girlfriend. I also bought tickets for my parents in a separate section. I left at halftime with my girlfriend. We went to the parking lot and fell asleep in my car. I didn't even want to listen on the radio. I didn't know  the Bills won until my parents came to our car after the game and told us. They had stayed. Not proud of it.

    I don't want to derail this thread so this will be my last post on the topic. 

    This is a fact: The NFLPA has zero power to stop a player from taking any contract he wants (above the minimum floor). It would be illegal for the NFLPA to even attempt to force the stoppage of a contract that the two parties agree to.

    What I think you are attempting to say is: In your mind, the league, NFLPA, players and agents all collude to prevent that from happening. That is also highly illegal and would immediately trigger antitrust litigation. 

    Summary: If a player chose to, he could take a below market deal, and there is absolutely NOTHING the NFLPA could do about it. If they even attempted to stop it, the player could sue the NFLPA in federal cart and win BIG. You can continue to shout that the NFLPA would stop it until the cows come home, but it is simply not true.

    Or if you don't want to believe me, perhaps listen to the artificial intelligence that has a database far larger than you or I to pull from:

    Please quit trying to muddle this conversation with pesky facts and common sense.

     

    You might as well quit trying to explain it. He could literally be told by Josh Allen, the NFL, the NFLPA, and the Supreme Court that he's wrong and he would still argue that he's right.

     

    Personal opinion and the law are 2 separate entities. 

     

    Legalities are not a strong suit.

    So a couple of things-the NFLPA does represent every player, so they aren’t going to let someone take far less than what that players value is. If Josh takes $50-$100 million less to “help the team” what’s going to stop the teams from asking all players to take less? A team certainly isn’t going g to pay more for a WR, DE, LT than they are a top flight QB.

     

    Also, this is a business and Josh understands that part too. He feels loyalty to the Bills but he also feels loyalty to every other player in the league. These guys all want to see each other get paid. Josh is going to keep the price somewhat high because that means the next guy and the guy after that will get paid. These GMs and front office people are paid a ton of money as well, it’s not the players job or responsibility to make everything fit under the cap, it’s the front office-so they have to do their job as well 

    This literally makes zero sense. Brady took less than he was entitled to for years. A player can accept whatever contract they want that doesn't violate the Collective Bargaining Agreement. The more he takes, the more he's taking from his teammates. 

     

     

    NFLPA Contract Negotiation:

     

    The NFLPA (National Football League Players Association) does not require players to accept specific contracts, but they do represent players in contract negotiations and ensure the terms of the NFL Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) are met. 

     

    While the NFLPA represents players in contract negotiations, it doesn't dictate which contracts players must accept. Players have the right to negotiate their own contracts with teams, and the NFLPA helps them in this process. 

     

    The NFLPA cannot block a contract thats been approved by the NFL and agreed upon by the player.

    Can we please edit the title to "Joey Mimosa" cause this dude has a better chance of attending Sunday brunches then games. That is all.

    I agree, that would probably work schedule-wise… he could hit up a brunch spot in the Southtowns around 10:00, leave at 11:30, and then be at the stadium in time for warmups!

     

    Can we please give him a break. This guy has a better chance being a stadium shoveler then an English professor.

    Really not that weird. He/they saw how the season was going and the level they were playing it. A Super Bowl ring looked at the time (and still could be) a very real situation.

     

    So sign on at the end of the season on the PS just to be a part of it. Be in the building and the sidelines. Help bring along Cole Bishop and the Safety room. Boost team morale even further by being there. Get a ring. It's not about money.

     

    If he/they really planned on playing him, he'd have been here sooner, would have been given a spot on the 53 and would have put him on the field by now or at least this weekend.

    You get a ring as a coach as well. He would prefer to get a ring as a practice squad player that contributed absolutely nothing in the playoffs? Kind of confusing to me as well. If you're not going to use him, then sign his as a coach. Sign someone else to the practice squad that you actually intend on using. I find it hard to believe that he's not going to play at all.

    Bishop runs 4.45 and Elam runs 3.39.

     

    Benford. Douglas, Rapp all run in 4.6+ 40 yard time. Even for Poyer/Hyde, they were in 4.56+ range. 

     

    Speed isn't everything but I bet you they surely like to add some speed in the secondary so they have more options, like playing more man, be more aggresive. We'll see how it goes.

     

    3.39 is really, really fast 🏃
