"We just followed our board".
Yeah, I've never heard a team say they were confident in exactly what every other team is going to do.
"The draft fell our way and we just followed our board" is the line

Yeah I think it’s time to update his weight definitely not 237 lbs as listed. Try at least 255 lbs! Hope someone asks him how much he is weighing these days. He’s jacked.
I doubt 255.
On a Pat Mcafee podcast during the season, he said he was about 245 and his coaches wanted him at 242 for a playing weight.

Did this need to be revived after two weeks?
No. Especially since the Op didn't like it enough to do as requested and fix the title.

Also the concussion hit to head by Jonathon Jones
Correct, I forgot that one. Also when he was running.

Anyone still worried when he scramble every so often?
Hes sliding a lot more now, and if memory serves, all of his injuries over the last four years were in the pocket.
He can handle the occasional scramble. Again he’s much better at sliding now than in 18.
Memory does not serve.
He was injured while in the pocket his rookie season (elbow hit by helmet).
He was injured rolling out of the pocket to the L - he tried to throw while being tackled and landed awkwardly on his L arm vs. Raiders.
He was injured rolling out of the pocket to the R vs the 49ers - tried to break a Joey Bosa tackle and run.
Foot injury, Bucs game, tackled while running

Many years ago, I worked with someone who owned a Pitbull. One day, he proudly told me that his Dog tore a cat to shreds, and he left it to die. He was quite proud of it.
This was the only time in my life, where I felt a sense of instant, and unrelenting hatred, for someone..

I used to always believe that - there’s no bad dogs, just bad owners. But then I had an experience that totally changed my mind.
I don't believe that there are "no bad dogs". I mean, a certain number of people are psycho, so why wouldn't there be psycho dogs and psycho horses?
23 minutes ago, BillsFan4 said:15-20 years ago I rescued a pit bull puppy when I was living in Florida. The owner was bragging about how he was going to starve it to death and I took it home on the spot (and reported him, but nothing ever happened).
The dog was great when he was a puppy. Obedient, well behaved. Then as he got a bit older he started to show aggression over random things. He’d growl when I fed him. He’d lay by my bed and growl at anyone who came near me at night. Stuff like that. But he never bit anyone.
Then I moved back to NY and brought the dog with me. I moved back home and my parents had 2 dogs. He got along with the female dog fine but not the male dog so we had to keep them separated. We also got my dog neutered.
Everything really started to change after that. He started getting very aggressive. Trying to bite people. He even bit me, pretty bad. And tried to bite me a few other times where I narrowly got away. He had never shown any aggression toward me before. And it was so unpredictable.
Then one day he was laying out in the living room and my dad walked by. The dog just snapped for no apparent reason and viciously attacked my dad in the leg. Bit his leg so badly that the bone was showing. We Had to call an ambulance and my dad was in the hospital for 3-4 days.
It wasn’t just one bite either. He didn’t stop attacking until I heard the commotion and ran up + grabbed the dog. As soon as I grabbed him he snapped right back out of it and was looking at me + wagging his tail and was no longer aggressive.
The town showed up (paramedics notified them) and took the dog to be put down.
That ate at me for years and years. I always felt like it was something I did wrong.
I am sure I somehow contributed to the problem but I don’t know how. I never abused him or anything even remotely close. I treat my animals very well.
Ive owned all sorts of different dog breeds. I’ve had dog(s) my entire life and never had a problem with any other dog breed. No other dog I’ve ever owned has even shown a hint of aggression.
Needless to say I’ll never own another pitbull.
Wow, what a story. Is your dad OK? I do think that some people have bred pitbulls to have a screw loose, because having that screw loose makes them a better fighting dog.

Sorry to you pitbull owners who disagree but it's completely irresponsible to breed huge killer dogs because you think they look tough or cool. Regular dog owners and people with little kids shouldn't have to worry about their lives being at risk because you think it's cool to have huge aggressive dogs:
Having had a ringside seat at a situation where a neighbor's chihuahua was fatally injured and had to be put to sleep after an encounter with a loving, sweet neighborhood dog who was in no way a "huge aggressive" dog (and not a pit bull), I would want to know if there is more to this story.
Factors:
1) Toy breeds don't understand size IME. They will charge at and bark/snarl aggressively at another, much larger dog. But the same actions that larger dog might take, that to a golden retreiver would mean "knock it off", can deglove a toy (warning: if you don't know what a degloving injury is, you may not want to learn)
2) A number of dogs who are well-socialized with humans and pets have high prey drives, and will chase the hell out of bunnies and squirrels. Guess what kinda looks like a bunny to a high prey drive dog.
Should a dog be outside a fence and off-lead in an urban area, No. So Jones by the link above is at fault for that. But let's not go down the "dog injured dog therefore is huge aggressive killer dog" wormhole.
Edit: I'm not trying to argue "Pitbulls from fighting lines are really nice doggo's" thing. Akitas are the Japanese equivalent of a Pitbull as far as I can tell, and I actively tried to talk good friends out of getting one. I don't think Presa Canarios are necessarily nice dogs, either. Just making the point that from the incident described in the link, I can't go to "huge aggressive dog/completely irresponsible".

Why does it matter to you , how is it Bills football related ?
In case you haven't noticed, this is not solely a BILLS football board. Other football topics are completely appropriate and are discussed here - other teams, players on other teams, other teams coaches.
In case you haven't noticed, we do other discuss events and criminal cases involving football players and coaches here, too.

Ouch.
Though seems a bit unfair to me. Firstly, I think Cleveland may want more than a sixth or seventh pick and, secondly, surely it’s the salary situation which is leaving Mayfield in limbo more than anything? The other franchises know the Browns are over a barrel.
It's true that Baker's 1 year, $18.9 fully guaranteed contract is probably limiting his suitors more than anything. I'm sure Cleveland would like more than a 6th or 7th or even a 5th, but they probably aren't going to get it because of the salary and contract situation.
Part of what Sharpe says is true. If Mayfield were seen as a "franchise altering QB", #1 Cleveland would not have sold the farm to bring in DeShaun Watson #2 when they did, other teams would be lighting up the phone to Cleveland
OTOH Mayfield played hurt last season in Cleveland, and it does seem to me that he's getting smacked around for trying to be a team player there. It was pretty clear that Josh Allen was struggling to throw properly when he injured his non-throwing shoulder vs LVR in 2020 and wasn't "right" for the next 3-4 games. The pundits were all "see, I told you it was a flash in the pan, he's regressing to the mean" about his play in the first 4 games when he struggled against Tenn, KC, then only passed 18 attempts vs. NE.
I seem to recall Terry Bradshaw after the KC game opinion that Allen would never be anything but a career 58% passer. Then of course Allen came out and threw for 418 yds, 82% completion against Seattle (just after Matt Hasselbeck went on the air explaining the injury Allen probably suffered and its progression "he's probably starting to feel pretty good about now") and I was like "well Bradshaw, that aged well, didn't it, Dufus?" (of course Bradshaw didn't take any accountability)
Bottom line is Mayfield looked a lot closer to a franchise-altering QB in 2020 with 2 good shoulders. And I bet he transcribes Sharpe's words and reads them every morning to fire himself up.

The link is blocked behind a paywall?
And saying duck is better, then putting a caveat that it's only been three games is BS
That's why they have no merit .. you either stand by your convictions or you don't
It's not TMZ, they try to put themselves out as legitimate football people.. you can't just write joke articles
Sam Monson admitted on Twitter that nobody at PFF really believed that Duck Hodges was better.
The strong implication is it was just something they said to "stir the *****" and rile up Bills mafia

Not up to the team. The nfl doesn’t want holdouts and it’s negotiated in the CBA
A few years ago teams could waive the fines. When AB was pitching his fit at the Raiders, some here were arguing t'was the team's fault because they were fining him vs. waiving the fines.
Has that changed?

Exactly
No offense to Tommy but our number two tight end was a dumpster fire
Were Getting a legitimate NFL tight end... Not a project
Agree. Hopes were high, but when he got his opportunities, he couldn't do the things I thought he could do much less the things where we all thought he needed to improve.
One certainly can't blame him, but his struggles certainly contributed to the Jax loss where he got 87% of the offensive snaps, and it was notable that the run game improved when the Bills started making him inactive (week 14 on) and giving Tommy Doyle some snaps as a 6th OL.
TE was a huge weakness behind Knox.

I think so too, and that seems justified given that OJ Howard has had his struggles with injuries and right now our TE room is Knox and a cliff.

QuoteReid's trial was scheduled for April but was rescheduled on Friday to Sept. 26. Reid, the son of Chiefs Coach Andy Reid, was charged after a Feb. 4, 2021, crash near Arrowhead Stadium that critically injured a 5-year-old girl.
Reid pleaded not guilty in June.
The trial was rescheduled after discussion during a brief hearing Friday concerning the availability of toxicology reports and some expert witnesses.-

I dont want to do things that give up next year's 1st rounder.
Neither does Beane.
If we recall our Beane draft history, in 2018 he managed to move up from 21 to 7 to draft Josh Allen - without giving up our 2019 first round pick.
He traded up from 22 to 16 for Tremaine Edmunds - again, without giving up a 2019 first round pick.
And of course we traded down and gained a 1st round pick in 2017 when we drafted Tre White
If you won't do it for your franchise QB, your franchise CB, or the LB you hope will anchor your defense, why would you do it now?
For whom?

It's a bit ominous that in Beane's response to a question about Poyer at OTAs he said "I can't pay everyone." Compare that to his language about Diggs' contract before his extension - "we'll visit it when the timing is right." Read between the lines. We're meeting a ton of safeties pre-draft and Beane said flat out he can't pay everyone. I think Poyer is done here.
There was more to it and I didn't hear it as quite so stark or negative.
Edit: from a Sal C article:
Quote“I want Jordan here,” Beane said of the keeping the safety in Buffalo. “I’m not looking for anything different than that. It's just business gets in the way sometimes, and I respect that. I'm not upset or anything. You want everybody to be happy and thrilled with their contract.”
Beane acknowledged that it’s hard to pay and keep everyone, and that agents of other players have also inquired about extensions.
“I mean, it's hard. There's other guys here that want to be paid to. I know that one is out in public, but that's not the only agent of a player this offseason that's on the Bills that's [saying], 'What about my guy? What are you thinking? Is there a plan now? Is there a plan after the draft? Is there a plan at all?'" Beane said. "We've had those conversations, but that happens every year. Some do work their way into the media for whatever reason, whether it's the player not showing, whether it's the agent discussing it. But I want to pay them all, the ones that deserve it and have earned it. And there's other guys here that I feel have earned it, as well, and want to do it.
"There's guys that have left here since I've been here that I wanted to pay, or our organization wanted to pay. But you can't pay them all, and that's hard, because I'm a people person. I love these guys and love them to death. But I also have a job to do, and I have rules to follow, from a cap standpoint and cash. So unfortunately, you have to say goodbye to some, and again, there's more than just Jordan, that would be looking to get an extension. Right now, we're focused on the draft."
So I think it's a good observation that as a 31 yr old safety, even an all-pro 31 yr old safety, Poyer is not in the same category of "must sign" to Beane as Josh Allen, or Diggs, or Tre White, or Von Miller.
I don't think it follows that he's "done here", but I do think Beane is going to wait for the draft to get serious about contract negotiations, and I think it's possible that in the first discussions, the Bills and Rosenhaus are far enough off that if he stays there, it won't get done.
I also think there's a good chance he won't stay there. Poyer is a fine player there is no doubt, and has all my respect on the field. He can Ball, and he's been under-rated much of his career (possibly the drinking had an effect).
But of the 12 safeties who have signed contracts with higher AAV than Poyer has right now, only 1 was 30 or over when they signed (Harrison Smith, 32). 8 were 25 or under; 2 are 27; 1 is 29. To me, that implies that Poyer's leverage may be limited. Being "all-pro Po" this year was great, but does it give him the clout, at his age, to be able to hold out a year and get the big bucks somewhere else? Maybe, or maybe it means he'll lower his drama-to-talent ratio to the point where he'll limit his market. If he plays and has a great year, he could get Harrison Smith money in 2023, or he could get injured and have to take a prove-it deal.
So I think after the draft, there's probably going to be some room for compromise.I think that Rachel Bush probably will lobby for "no compromise" and I think she has strong influence in their relationship, but at the end of the day I don't think she has Poyer's balls in her purse for professional matters, and both of them will see that holding out to the tune of $353k/week may not increase his value in the league, and there may be value in staking a claim to more guaranteed money, now.
Or maybe I'm wrong, dunno-
