If this were regular season I would be worried but given that it is pre-season I really doubt they are going to be taking shots. Also the starters won't play much so in general it isn't too much to worry about.

I don't think Addison is "safe" at all. I think if Efe comes on strong in camp and Addison isn't showing up I don't necessarily know if they wouldn't cut Addison. Addison saves some cap space by being cut, not a whole lot but some. Butler I think is going to make the roster since it costs the team 600k above his cap number to cut him.

For whatever reason the Bills seemingly can find LT's rather easily in the past 15 years for some reason haha. I hope Dawkins comes back 100% by the time the regular season starts. He is so critical to the teams success.

The Cowboys ranking is a joke, they have a horrible defense and a questionable o-line. The Bills probably should be ranked ahead of the Browns and Ravens at the very least.

Probably an inflated total but even if it is 3.5 billion that still blows out the next closest stadium by 1.6 billion.

Solid signing by the Ravens, Houston had 8 sacks last year and 11 the year before both on solid Indy defenses. He is 32 and that's not too old for a pass rusher either and has been fairly healthy the past two seasons. This isn't a dramatic shift but this is a player that can help them. May not move the needle too much but even 6 sacks is solid production for the money they gave him.

Shocked the Jets let it get to the final hour. They don’t have a vet QB on the roster and Wilson is supposed to be the future. Why haggle over offset language? Just seems like a sign of poor management.

Short term they have Mitch, Bates and Mongo can fill in at center if needed. I liked the Doyle pick as I think he can be quality depth long term. I never hate on oline picks.

Not really sure where else they could go with a 5th round pick. If he goes on IR and comes back as valuable depth in camp I would hardly say that it was a wasted pick. Never really a waste in my opinion to boost your Oline depth.

The defense was by most metrics graded out to be a top 10 defense. They had an elite secondary and an above average pass rush and a run defense that although it struggled at times finished the season out strong. It wasn’t top 3 like it was in 2019 but it certainly was in the top 10 by both the true eye test and the stats.

Not worried about Dawkins and Ike seems like a mild setback as they will hopefully only be out for a week or two. Hughes is a bit worrisome, hoping it is a mild injury just odd to see a calf injury. Not a great start to camp but better to have these small issues early in camp.

The defense is a top 10 defense, the special teams unit is solid and the offensive playmaking talent is elite and the offensive line very good. If this team had a mid-level QB the team would still have a capable passing attack and I think the ground game would be a lot more productive if it was needed more. I think a lot of the “lack of success” in the ground game is the result of being so successful at throwing the ball. This Bills team is far better than those later Manning Indy teams. I think this team is far more comparable to the Colts after Luck left and in 2020 they added a decent QB and got to 11-5. The Bills roster minus Josh is a lot better than you are giving it credit for.

It is an interesting to think what this roster would turn out with an average or below average QB. Like if Derek Carr were the QB what would this teams record be both last year and this year? I think this team is probably a 10-11 win team with a decent QB. Josh likely adds 2-3 wins which is impressive. I think this roster is a very well composed outside of Josh this roster is a lot better than any of the drought era teams. I think the depth, offensive line and attention to smaller areas of the roster are far better than in the past. While Josh is the big piece that gets this team into title contention the roster is far better constructed than in years past.

Probably would invest in an index fund over a USA based soccer team but hey if this is what he wants to invest in good for him.

Third behind Tampa and KC seems fair not sure at San Francisco is so high.

Better call in an expert at gruntling

The outcome while not obvious seems to work out for all parties involved. The Packers get one more year of Rodgers than a haul of picks in 2022. Rodgers gets out of Green Bay and gets to pick his destination (as it will be far easier for teams to trade for him at the beginning of the offseason) while also not risking missing out on the 2021 season. Denver has to be the front runner, wouldn’t be shocked to see some other candidates emerge but Denver just makes too much sense.

Of those 11 wins only 4 were against teams that would have a winning record and only one was by a more than one score margin (a blowout against the Browns). And 5 out of the 7 wins they got against bad teams were by one score margins. I wouldn’t say it was a mirage as the Steelers defense was a legit good defense until they got hit hard by injuries and their offense was able to be decent enough working around their limitations. I wouldn’t say 11-0 was a complete mirage as the defense before they got badly hurt was good but it certainly was slightly inflated and their 1-4 end to the season speaks to how they got hit hard by injuries and the inflated nature of their record.

Mutually beneficial, Diggs set the table for Josh but Josh also is by far the best QB to be throwing him the ball.

America’s team is a grand experiment in public ownership ironic.

Signed with the Eagles guess McD likes what he has...

I think the Packers resolve all this by just going for it with Rodgers and Adam’s for one last season. They basically let Adam’s know we will let you test free agency after this season and let Rodgers know if you play out this season we will trade you in 2022. It gives the Packers short term peace for 2021 and Rodgers and Adams know that they won’t be there long term. So I don’t see either on the trade market.

The methodology of these estimates may not be full proof but it is a nice way to have some sort of understanding of sacks throughout NFL history

Especially if the Packers are missing Rodgers (which I honestly doubt, I think they resolve the Rodgers situation by telling him they will trade him after this season) the Bucs path to a return to the Super Bowl is rather easy. Even if I am assuming the Packers have no issues with Rodgers the NFC is still pretty top heavy. The Rams are a dam good team but super thin, depth is something that can wear a team down. The Seahawks and 49ers should prove to be tough teams but both are significantly flawed. The Seahawks have a mediocre defense and possible Oline issues. The 49ers QB situation and skill players could possibly limit them. The Cardinals are solid but not sure if their Oline and defense will be good enough. The NFC East is going to be mediocre and so will the rest of the NFC South. The West also will beat up on each other which hurts them and the Packers are the only better than average team in the North. The Bucs are in a good position to say the least.

When John Brown was hurt this team was able to be highly productive passing the ball. I do wonder how much speed is left in Sander game at age 34? Sanders at age 32 in 2019 was averaging about 13.1 yards per reception bouncing between two passing attacks in the bad Broncos and the so so 49ers. But then in NOLA in 2020 he only average 11.9 per reception a respectable total but not a guy taking a top off the defense. But the Saints had a shot 41 year old QB with zero arm strength. If Sanders can get 70ish receptions at 13 yards per reception that will be a very good season (900+ yards) and add some bigger play ability. He isn't going to be that 14.7 yards per reception monster John Brown was in 2019 but if he can be a respectable zone breaker he will really help out the offense.
