History is foggy for too many to say that because Cook is the feature back Johnson can't be Fred Jackson. Jackson had Lynch ahead of him 3 seasons; in 2007 Jackson played in 8 games. After Jackson left Spiller came in as the primary hyped back. By his final year the Bills brought in Bryce Brown to try to unseat him. Time after time the roster had a back more highly rated than him to be above him. Jackson for 1k yards when Lynch didn't even break 500. For some reason everyone remembers Lynch as a better back. I don't. 13 years (11 of them worthy) Lynch did beat Jackson's stats. For the 6 years of Jackson in his prime he was as good as Lynch.

Not ready to let him walk because he ran his mouth but not going to pay him what he is asking. It's counter intuitive, in my humblest of humble opinions, to talk openly about money and want to be a part of a team. However, I'm not in the NFL (yet... There's hope)... And I'm not looking to negotiate a million dollar deal (yet... There's hope). Either way, offer him the right contract, make him well paid, avoid void years, make it trade friendly on the back end.

Woah rip

Some could say the same about a few of those dudes, like Poona Ford, who was entirely cast the wrong way in our defense and never should have even been brought in if we can't and don't know how to use him.

There are exactly 6 topics that are permitted to get a topic off course: 1) pickle juice in Italian cuisine 2) 3.5 3) parking your 350z and filing a police report because you lost it 4) firefighters being arsonists 5) gugny 6) male nursing

Was he ever a firefighter, electrician, or EMT?

Even then, no one truly appreciates how amazing moulds for. 5 yards and 1 TD from the 10k 50TD. He was as good as any other in the league.

That's why these guys were let go. No other gms let Beane know. That's amazing.

as i mentioned a few times from what i take from what i was given the Bills made offers to pretty much every pending FA on good faith that they can sign it then, test the market, and have some time to consider it. i'm sure there was a deadline to sign it - for obvious reasons this is essentially required. it makes me curious to what exactly was offered to Douglas, Cook, Morris, Cooper. I'd assume it was not "fair market value" in the literal sense and hope and presume it was more "value to this team, adjusted," of course. By that I mean, the value against fair market to where this team is going and what it wants to accomplish based on who that player is and what they have done for the team and process.

At least the team knows them all. Wonder what the final offer was to Douglas at this point. There was an offer. If I'm Douglas I wait until camps begin and an injury pops up.

Gilmore would be fantastic.

comp picks!

I can't even imagine how many warnings I have...id bet at least 20.

For a decent offer, as depth, id taken him for the run games. Wish we could PS him and activate him for the Ravens, and what few teams can run.

i hope he makes a career in dallas.

I see your point. I was thinking of the angle that the safety skillset is difficult to project beyond the top 1 or 2 in the draft. Very few of the highly projected safeties amount to high end players. 2014: 18 - Calvin Pryor (NJJ), 27 - Deonne Bucanon (ARI), 30 - Jimmy Ward (SF) 2015: 27- Damaris Randall (GB) 2016: 14 - Karl Joseph (Oak), 17 - Keanu Neal (ATL), 2017: 6 - Jamal Adams (NJJ), 15 - Malik Hooker (IND), 25 Jabril Peppers (CLE) 2018: 11 - Minkah Fitzpatrick (PIT), 17 - Darwin James (SD), 28 - Terrel Edmunds (PIT) 2019: 21- Darnell Savage (GB), 27 - Jon Abraham (Oak) 2022: 14 - Kyle Hamilton (BAL), 31 - Daxton Hill (Cin), 32 - Lewis Cine (MIN) I think there are maybe 4 solid top starters in that group. Hamilton, Fitzpatrick, Joseph, Ward. That's 11 years of players and 16 first round players.

why? (hoenst question)

i really had some hopes for him to become a hybrid player to take the spot of the Jordan Poyer big safety.

i meant dime. i had meant dime back. i think he can cover TE's inside the hashes well enoguh where the quicks and speed will be less valuable.

Id draft a QB late if one falls there or look through the roster cuts/PS at cut downs to build a career backup here.

Is love for Douglas to come back and eventually become our dime CB. Light a fire under his ass to tackle *Fixed nickel to dime. Brain fart.

he's not as bad as people say but we could certainly get better at the position. He does not make mistakes. He is a micah Hyde light.

UNCC guy!

Ok that wasn't fair. Coke jokes are fun tho... Anyway, it is my understanding that the Bills put offers to everyone they wanted to bring back, which is literally most every free agent and at an offer they'd like - and there has been little to write down about Cook but I don't know much there Evidently the off-season map started a long time ago and included the values of every player they had and who they wanted. They made the offers to their guys open ended. They extended offers to people they wanted. They are waiting the game now.
