I don't think they care much. I wouldn't. The Chiefs traded him; he didn't leave of his own accord. And then they won the SB without him anyway. Plus, and it must be said, as great a WR as he is, he's a garbage human being. And while they hate losing to us, I bet they hate losing to Cincinnati even more.

Beane did say they've been talking to his agent for the last three weeks. And he didn't say this, but I think they wanted to wait to see if anything else came free before the trade deadline.

Speaking of bars, I saw your screen name and immediately thought of the Palm Isle.

Well, I think he's one of those older dudes that seem to show up every November in search of a(nother) ring. I'm fine with it. Less wear and tear means he'll be fresher in January. Plus, you don't want to foreclose options and flexibility at the trade deadline.

Beane doesn't know what he's doing! The sky is falling!

And why exactly would Beane tell anyone he tried to trade him? What does that do for the team?

And another rotting branch snaps off the Bill Belichick coaching "tree."

Packers realize they got fleeced and trading a guy who's "almost 30" sounds better than trading a guy who just turned 28.

And this is exactly how BBB operates. You almost never hear about our interest in guys before we acquire them. That helps keep their price low, especially when other teams and agents know that he isn't swayed by public opinion. I actually believe Fournette's agent almost torpedoed his shot at coming here... I could picture Beane calling him after the reports came out and saying "you better retract that story if you want us to keep talking." It's also why I don't think we're in on Suh (although I think we should be). I also wonder if some of those stories -- Suh, Henry, etc. -- are quiet plants by Beane operatives to distract people while he works on the deals HE wants. And one other thing: do you all realize that we got a starting CB for the price of a draft pick swap? That's highway robbery. Everyone saying "it's like giving up a fourth" is missing the mark. That's what a dumb GM does, give up a pick in a straight trade. We gave them a low third, they gave us a high fifth... and they gave us Douglas on top of it, with an extra year of control. Appreciate the genius.

Or maybe he's just the type of guy they want here, as they've shown repeatedly with guys like Hyde, Poyer, Von, etc. And they know with Tre out and our safeties aging, they need a linchpin-type back there to continue helping ALL of the DBs grow. Doesn't have to be about Elam, though maybe it is in part. Of course, the biggest reason they got him is to make the DB corps better.

How you feeling now?

He was the proverbial blind squirrel in that game. Just happened to find an acorn for once in his life. I prefer to look at it as, nobody even wants to contemplate having him lead their football team. Rasul Douglas and a 5th to us for a 3rd

Sorry for putting this here, but this headline from the Athletic made me laugh: No trade interest shown for Patriots QB Mac Jones Despite some speculation, the Patriots have not received any trade calls for QB Mac Jones, per sources.

Bills have beaten four teams who were at or over .500 at the time they played. Dolphins have beaten ... zero such teams?

lol, that about says it all right there

Sometimes?

I knew I heard someone grinding an axe somewhere

Funny how the national media didn't notice the London game was a lost home game for us until the Chiefs were also impacted. Also, an easy way to discern the age of a poster is whether they're rooting against the Chiefs or the Fins next week. It's not foolproof, but I bet most people over 50 (like me) still hate Miami so much that we could never root for them except when their winning would guarantee us a playoff spot or seeding. And even then it would be difficult.

Both teams are flying over this week, as opposed to when Jacksonville was sitting there waiting for us. That’ll make a difference. Also, ***** Miami. I hope the Chiefs win a long, nasty war of attrition and both teams somehow get stuck in Munich for days afterward.

Quite honestly, all scenarios aside, I cannot bring myself to root for Miami. Ever. You think their fans are full of it now, if they beat the Chiefs it's gonna go to a whole new level. Chiefs fans won't change, win or lose.

Literally all of the years since COVID have blurred together.

It was in 2020 when the Titans got the 1 seed, and KC still ended up hosting the AFC championship.

Cards targeting Nelson Agholor on the “hands team” was pretty funny lol

idk man - Niners looked PRETTY BAD

Let’s ride baby
