Mr. WEO

more chasing ghosts and howling at the moon with this. big surprise.

I was working. Missed most of the game? Did he explode?

Dude got paid. Old NFL story…

I wasn’t talking about ligament tears…

he's done this twice in an 8 year career. It would shock even him.

It's outside my area of expertise. But lateral meniscus "damage" isn't a medically descriptive diagnosis. "Full tears" are usually repair arthroscopically. He doesn't seem to have that since he's not having a procedure. A grade 1 or 2 injury might be amenable to rest/ice/PT etc. I assume they would just follow his symptoms in that case to judge when he comes back. Maybe repeat the MRI. If he's still pushing for OBJ to the Bills, maybe he just wants a buddy to be on IR with him!

He extended 4 drives over 4 games. McKenzie is better than Sanders in that role than Crowder was.

why the Chiefs?

6 catches (of 13 targets) for 60 yards and 4 1st downs over 4 games is "an outsized value"?? come on...he was a complete non-factor.

Injuries, shminjuries....the Bills are just (statistically) proven to be "unlucky".

That's a huge problem

How is it Beane hasn't offered TO a Practice Squad spot??

Oh....so it would be unlucky if Bills opponents hit every PAT this year, even though, collectively, they are averaging 94% success rate for the season (all 10 opponents so far, as a group)? Yeah, it's a bogus "stat", pretty cut and dry. It has no meaningful inference.

So, conversely, if the opposing kicker makes a FG/PAT, it's bad luck for the Bills? If opposing Kickers vs the Bills never miss a PAT all year...that's just "bad luck" for the Bills? It's not random, as fumble recovery often is. Balls bounce where they go.

He's played 14 games for 5 different teams in the past 3 years. It's not that he can't stay healthy--he can't stay on a roster. On his last 3 teams--3 targets for an entire season. None of those 3 teams had any use for him. Even in 2019, his YBC and average depth of target plummeted. He wasn't beating anyone. He's been on the field for 19 snaps since 2020--not because of injury.

How is a dropped pass or missed FG "bad luck"?

Fumble recoveries are basically luck. Dropped passes/int, FG/PATs aren't .

He was cut because he didn't have the speed going on

Was it even a year ago that TBD was measuring Brown for that gold jacket?? Ah....time does fly.

I can't imagine Beane would risk 2 year money on this guy.

this is sarcasm, right?

Considering their QB died in September, yes—it is impressive

They would have to, which is why they are stuck with him. If they cut him for skill or cap reasons, he still gets his money. "There are three separate kinds of guaranteed money When utilized, the full guarantee of a contract consists of a combination of skill, cap, and injury guarantees, rolled into one deal. The skill guarantee is unique in the sense that it's meant to protect a player from losing his wages if he were released. In this case, a player would receive guaranteed money if losing a roster spot was due to the declining of his skills in relation to his position. For example, a veteran place kicker who's gradually missing more and more kick attempts loses his job to a more accurate kicker, but will still be paid his full salary, after he's cut from the team. The cap guarantee will ensure a player is paid in the event he is released for salary cap reasons. The most common situation here is when a team releases players to free up cap space, to be used in signing new players. This, like the skill guarantee, would promise a player's full salary should he be released." Why would he, after signing the contract, negotiate away any money--as they are cutting him??

190 million is owed Murray.

well these are the very implications that make him untradeable. Bidwell isn't going to swallow that hit--certainly not because his next HC says so.
