Depends on the structure of the agreement. It's possible that they keep the guaranteed money around what he was to receive this year alone, while lowering his cap figure for this year. Maybe they approach him with an honorable way of retiring as a Bill under "his terms", orchestrated under the terms of a more cap and team friendly for the Bills. Devil is in the details.

If that's the case, which I would hope not, then either Boobie and/or Brown would be on the chopping block. This team would have 5 NFL caliber RB's. Two to many.

Actually, to be honest, as unpopular as my opinion may be, I wouldn't mind giving Bryce and Boobie the nod. Or for that matter, whoever Rex and co. would like in that position. My personal belief is that the first year the new coach should for the most part have the toys and pieces he'd like to make his vision work. Last year it seemed quite apparent to me that Freddy was quickly regressing and I don't see how that slide doesn't continue. In regards to your second point, yeah, for the most part that's what I was saying in this instance. Not so much purely on the football aspect of it, but if this rumor and narrative is to be believed, maybe a part of the decision was to make the fans happy and more importantly treat one of our most revered players in modern Bills history with respect and dignity. After all, how much better would Bilal Powell be than even a declining Jackson? At most, minimal, right?

I get the possible criticism of not wanting to have a "meddling" owner. We've seen how there are some owners in this league that due to their nature of wanting to be involved in some of the day to day decisions that it has in many cases negatively impacted the well-being of the team. This in my view seems to be a little different, even though it's apparent that Jackson is a player on the decline he still provides value apart from on the field but his symbolic and intangible (leadership,fan happiness) impact is a bit difficult to quantify. The owner stepping in protecting his interests and that of the fans in my view makes this case perfectly acceptable.

Cap is expected to go up $10M next year

I ain't gonna lie, I thought his value was going to be in the 10-12$ M a year range. Great signing and value.

It always happens. Players who played at a high level for us who jettison the team and the fans turn on them. Some are even disparaging Kiko by insinuating the main asset he had was his hair

He will

I like these guys. For some reason, some believe Hogan is overrated. I believe he is just the opposite and probably will end up playing an important part in this team's offense for the foreseeable future.

So, who did you vote for?

Who did you vote for? And I already stated the candidates that intrigue me the most this cycle, which would be Jeb, Walker and Rubio. I'm going to give them all an equal shot at my vote. And you just called me a "plant"? Not only do you make moronic comments, but you're also a wee bit delusional. So in your eyes, as long as you aren't an outright rightwinger, you are a "rhino". That is shallow to say the least.

It's not two and two. It's moronic.

So your argument is that since the government was shutdown for a total of 3 months in a 19 year span which accounts for barely over 1% of this entire period, that the shutting down of certain branches of the government (even though most stayed funded) somehow played a role in what you perceive to be the "biggest economic boon in US history"? That's your argument?

Ha!

I like seeing commitment. It's one of the pillars of what success looks like.

We should hire this guy as our GM. In all seriousness, what he proposes looks sound.

If they strike it down, my guess is that the justices will allow some sort of grace period for the subsidies to expire in the hopes of not causing total immediate chaos in the private health insurance markets and a possible deal to made in Congress *chuckle chuckle*. If they don't allow this grace period, then Congress probably will end up doing an 18 month extension. The Senate which is slightly made up of individuals that are more serious-minded will easily pass this extension with probably around 60-65 votes. Then it will go to the house, they will hoot and holler, Boehner will pretend he is siding with the tea party folks and at the last moment, he will do the responsible thing and put the extension up for a vote and it will pass with around 250 votes with approximately a quarter of the GOP house members voting for the extension. And that will mark the end of Boehner. My guess is that it won't reach this conclusion. 60% odds in my view that one or two of the conservative justices will side with preserving the subsidies.

Considering that she created her own server (on the day she took over as SOS), I guess we'll never know if she actually followed protocol. However, according to the AP,

In all Seriousness, Walker does have that mid western charm and composure that makes him a likable candidate in the eyes of many. He also has that unique ability to have the potential to unite most factions of the GOP, which would increase turnout. Having said that, his penchant to commit unforced errors perceived by the mainstream media (which of course then turns out to be an actual unforced error due to the power of the press/media) is troublesome not only for the donor class, but any middle-of-the-road conservatives. He has got to get better.

By the time they restructure Shady's contract and make whatever additional cuts that will take place, we'll be close to $25M a year left for FA. And IF need be, we could always restructure Mario's and get us up well over $30M. Considering that we have now addressed one of the Guard positions, the QB and RB, there is plenty of space to do whatever is needed to still improve the team.

They don't dare tell the Clinton's what to do.

They could, but they wouldn't dare do that to the Clinton's.

She's a much weaker candidate than I had originally thought.
