Voted no just because I’m a big Worthy believer and it’s tough to shake the feeling that the Bills now not only let the Chiefs get Mahomes but also his next Tyreek.
I do get it in a vacuum though. If I were just told hey we made these trades and got these picks but I did not know it was KC then I’d probably be all about having 3 top 100 picks this year.
This…. If Worthy wasn’t our guy - KC was getting him anyway. At least this way we strengthen our draft capital and weaken theirs.
Outside of Elam, Beane and Co. have shown their willingness to move up and get their guy (especially physical freaks). Obviously there is something they didn’t like with Worthy.

Offer fractional ownership (complete with profit sharing for stadium revenue) with the PSLs…

Amen. The over-reaction on this board is hilarious.
And for everyone bitching that it is "only" a 2nd round pick, we also got a 6th this year, and a 5th next year. Those picks matter when you are reloading the roster.
All the reports I've seen say we are giving a 6th this year and a 5th next year... not receiving them.

Football wise...I am EXCITED about the roles of Shakir and Kincaid expanding. Management wise, I am puzzled why we didn't do this after June 1st and lessen the cap burden given we didn't get back any draft capital in this draft.
I am actually not that concerned about the offense, I think we will still be an elite offense, I mean we were last year and went 6-1 with our WR1 and WR2 producing very little in that time last year.
I just don't understand the timing if we didn't get a pick in this draft.
I assume the valued the draft capital to move up this month more than the cap burden savings of waiting until after the draft.

Fans: "We need bigger buffaloes!...We need top of the line amenities!...We need a bigger buidling!....we need a roof!...we need beer and food stands every ten feet!....we need a thousand TVs in the building!."
Ownership: "OK, this is what that will cost to build and provide all that and what we will charge our customers to make it happen"
Fans: REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think most fans were fine with what we had - and would rather not have a new stadium (at ours and taxpayer expense).

CPA question - is the PSL deductible for a business… or is the purchase price just the cost basis for when it’s sold later?

Yes they will. And I do think that is reasonable. But my buddy who has had season tickets since 1986 has told me that trying to buy seasons to resell to pay for profit never has worked. Recoup funds yes, Profit no. SO a small fortune to attend an NFL game. Yippee 🎉 *sigh*
Until Josh Allen came along it was a loss every year. The preseason games are what kill you, because there's next to no market for them. If I'm strategic with regular season games I can generally profit off of the individual games I choose to sell, which supplements the games I attend.

You think a game ticket that costs $100 today(STH cost) will be $120 in the new stadium?
Yes, that's my pure speculation. If they're going to get 2-5x for the PSL, they're going to keep the season tickets reasonably within reach of what they are now.
I think a $100 ticket now will be $120 in year 1.
I think a $200 ticket now will be $240 in year 1.I think a $300 ticket now will be $360 in year 1.
Secondary market prices are going to shoot up. Those that bought season tickets and paid for the PSL are going to try and recoup some of that PSL fee. Individual game tickets sold by the team directly may increase more... but I think season tickets remain with reach.

Interesting way to look at it I had not thought about previously.
Big question will be current ticket price or new? I think club, and stress think, will almost double from current levels in 26
Think prolly looking closer to 5x for highly desirable seats( lower bowl between the 30s) , graduated out from there depending on location, and prolly being somewhere near 1x for upper upper seats.
All just pure guesses on my part!
Pure speculation - new ticket price will be within 20% of current. I think they'd lose too many season ticket holders if they package a PSL fee and huge jump. 5 years from now I can see the season prices being double what they are now.

Borrowing at any rate higher than inflation for non-essential or non-income producing purposes is a poor financial decision... but you do you.
I'm not sure what PSL number would be palatable for the masses. I've had season tickets for nearly 20 years. 2x my season ticket cost is justifiable to me. 3x is my break point. I have no idea if that's realistic or not, but that's the walk-away figure I've come up with.
-
washed up Cam Newton, Kyle Allen, Teddy Bridgewater, Taylor Heinicke, washed up Carson Wentz and Sam Howell... that's who he's had throwing to him.
I think it's realistic for him to match his best years here... which puts him at Gabe's production levels at less money. It works if we find a solid WR2 in the draft and dont expect Samuel to be more than he is.

No, you're not alone with that thought.
I'm less amazed that Gabe got bank because teams overpay for WR2 all the time. What HAS surprised me is that quality #2 guys are signing for far less than I expected on the market. Spotrac had him at $11.5M AAV and the Bills got him for $8 M a year (with potential void years) and Marquise Brown for $7 M
I think the Bills made the more financially sound move.
Agreed - at this price point he can be a WR3 or WR2b... what Gabe should have been. I'd still take a Round 1 WR to have a true WR2 and potential WR1 when Diggs declines.
Diggs, Rd(1)ROOKIE, Samuel, Shakir, Shorter/Hollins paired with Kincaid and Knox is pretty formidable.-

He got a lot of mileage out that game and some of the other big plays he’s made. I wouldn’t call him pedestrian. I think he’s a good WR2 but like you pointed out he does have some flaws. My prediction is that he’s the same WR he was in Buffalo.I think he's proven that he's not a good WR2... If anything he's a below average WR2 and above average WR3. If he goes on to be a good WR2 or low end WR1 in Jacksonville, it'll be an indictment on our offensive system here.

I like the signing and value.
Maybe it's a "grass is always greener" mindset, but how is Gabe Davis worth 1.5x Samuel or Hollywood Brown in the open market? I understand that he's younger, but his health has always been an issue. What am I missing? He had one historic game several years ago, but otherwise has been very pedestrian. He never had a 1,000 yard season, never had 50 receptions... despite being in a pass heavy offense with a great QB, and 3 different OCs had a desire/need to get him more involved.-

No, he does not fit in at all. He seems to be the opposite of what the team will be looking for when signing some mid level free agents.
It seems he really wants to stay in Dallas also.
He did play for Carolina, so at least that box is checked.

I'd say Food Service grade is consistent with the fan experience too.

My tickets are up 20%... maybe its 10% more plus getting charged for an extra pre-season game at regular season prices.

I'm much more concerned with Babich going there than Frazier. Babich should be made DC, even if only in title.
Obviously Beane and Pegula read this board.

You might as well pencil in a trade up by KC to jump Buffalo.

Beane literally added a promising draft prospect at every level on both sides of the ball
in The Stadium Wall

I get that you can't grade a draft until they play - but I think we can grade the logic behind the decision process. I think that this draft showed that Beane is comfortable in his position and didn't need to force things to keep ownership happy with a shiny new object. If Coleman was their man from jump, it makes sense to trade back and get extra value. I love Bishop.
Like others, I would have loved to see Franklin or Rice here based upon their pre-draft rankings. That said every other GM valued them less than their rankings too, and I'm guessing that they access to intel that we don't.
We appeared to get good value at positions of need. This team has to turn over some mid-level guys. With any luck we found a few solid starters and a few more capable players in this league.
