Nothing wrong with that in my opinion as long as you give the other person some notice.

I don't think Beane signs him, far too much of a distraction as good as he might be. I just don't think McBeane want to deal with the headache at this point. Maybe in 2021 if he is still out there and he his legal issues and league issues are sorted it would make more sense.

27 million per-year? That is insane Michael Thomas who is just as good of a player got 22.5 million aav or about that much. Are you telling me Hopkins is 5 million dollar better? Insane, good for Hopkins but that really throws the WR market out of whack.

If you are taking Moss over Singletary you are doing so more so out of blind faith in a rookie in a time split than anything else which would be foolish. I think that if Singletary gives you similar production to 2019 he is giving you mid to lower level RB2 play.

Mid 5th and higher is the cut off for Devin. I think the earliest you can justify getting him in with the last 2-3 picks of the 5th round. As you mentioned RB isn't the deepest position so by the back end of the 5th getting a RB2 with Rb1 upside is insanely good. 4th is way too high, 5th is where you take him if you really like him. I hold my value with him as a back end 5th rounder or more preferably a 6th rounder.

Ertz is one of the top TE's in the league and not too bad of an injury history. But I agree it is hard to justify significant draft capital and the extension he would want (which would be a 15ish million dollar deal.) Diggs was younger and already on a bigger deal (so the costs were more fixed.) I just don't see how with the Dawkins and Tre extensions adding Ertz a vet on a big contract would make sense. If the Bills want to add a TE I think a rental for cheaper player would make more sense. The TE out of Cleveland would be the type of player I would go after for a mid round pick.

I have Singletary as a 6th round value, Diggs as a 5th round value, Moss as a 9th or 10th round value, Allen as a 9th round value, and Brown as a 10th or 11th value. I think Singletary has at worst a similar season to last year but has RB1 upside. I don't see Moss taking that many more snaps than Gore did last year and I see the Bills running more and more effectively. If you draft Singletary in round 6 or late round 5 and he gives you what he produced last year which was RB2 value that's acceptable value for that pick. But then you have that insane upside at the most premium position.

My league is drafting later today, we drafted a few days later than we usually do just to avoid as much uncertainty as possible. I honestly did very little research until this weekend just because there is so much volitality.

Taking a defense in round 6 is insane haha loving the homer pick but that is a huge reach.

Henry I think they can get top 5 RB production out of. But Tannehill will be what holds that team back.

I see them having some issues but they are a tough team even tougher adding Clowney. But I just don't see them winning anything with that QB situation.

I just don't see Rosen staying happy and not causing issues as a backup in Buffalo. I do feel bad for him as he landed in a bad situation and got shuffled into another bad situation. Yes he might not be a starting QB but he got off to the worst start possible. Luckily for him he can pick his next spot and much like Jamis I think the best thing for his career would be to go to a team like Pittsburgh with an established vet QB and a good system. Sign a two year deal with the Sreelers and rebuild your value on the bench without the pressure of starting.

Not shocking he was the 5th DT (After Star's opt out) and he seemed to be a NFL backup caliber player so it isn't a surprise to see him get snatched up by a team looking for some DT depth. I am more curious to see how many other players that are cut will be picked up by other teams. I suspect one or two more will be. I can see one of the WR's cut being picked up for a 6th spot on another team and I can see one of the O-line players getting on a roster.

I don't see any conference needing to take the risk. I guess I just don't see how the proper safety protocols could work without a true closed environment.

What is wrong with playing in the spring? I really fail to see what the issue would be in starting a season in March or February. Yes it sucks but is it worth risking college students and their communities health for football at this moment? The NFL has athletes that can be isolated and they have the resources to test daily and create a bubble like atmosphere. Even the biggest college programs have the issue of their athletes having to take classes in person and may lack the ability to create a bubble like atmosphere. Playing in the spring a 2.5 month long season and then start the 2021 season in October to pad out the space between the next season and start 2022 as normal.

I feel like he should be added to the PS. He was on IR last season and didn't have a proper off-season this year. Former 5th round pick who was thought to be a good value at that point in the draft. Seems like he should hang around the PS for one season and then see if he can make the roster outright in training camp next year.

For the past 4 years I always heard how DiMarco was on the roster because of what he does on special teams. Can anyone confirm if was actually a good special teams player? It just seems odd that despite not being a good fullback during his time here he always hung around.

Slay is dam good top 12 to 5 corner the past 3 seasons, for sure. But Tre played like a top 20 corner his rookie year and then an underrated top 10 player in 2018 and was in my opinion the best corner in the league last year (and no doubt top 2.) So it isn't like Tre hasn't put up a good resume before 2019 either. Slay was definitely worth his money but I would still put Tre's resume as being slightly better AND Tre is much younger (And in any sport a contract is for what you are going to do not what you have done.) Slay will be 30 in January while Tre will turn 26 in January. That's another key difference.

His cultural relevance to the sport. In the late 60's and early 70's he was footballs biggest star and probably in part legitimized the AFL NFL merger. On the field he has a few great seasons by the standards of the time but then petered out due to injury. But his relevance to the sport is greater than his on field accolades

I keep hearing DiMarco is only kept for special teams and Jones is another ST guy. Lee Smith is indefensible, he is a specializing in a role he isn't very good at. Trade for Njoku and solidify the position with 3 young tight ends. I stand corrected, I think they hold onto him as the 9th oline player then and just make him inactive but then again maybe they do go 10 deep like Sal says.

I could see this team putting Feliciano on the Pup list to start the season and rolling with 9 O-line players and putting Fromm on as the third QB. I think they then will cut the 9th O-line player to make room for Mongo when he is back after week 6. It just doesn't make sense for the Bills to cut Fromm and expose him to waivers. My only other maybe on this roster is will the Bills risk exposing Hodgins to waivers? I like Mackenzie but if Hodgins is playing well why not use him in a similar role? Then again Mac is a proven solid gadget guy who can handle a few plays a game and make an impact which adds a wrinkle to the offense.

There isn't a month that goes by since he passed in late 2011 where I don't think "what would Patrice have thought about this issue" agree or disagree with his take he always had an interesting perspective.

The top corner on the market is making 16.7 million (Darius Slay) and is not quite as good as Tre. I think Tre wants 20 million a year and the Bills want 18 million a year. I think they settle in around 19 million, somewhat team friendly but paying their best player and all around good citizen/culture setter.

If you aren't invested because of the "politics" that will be messaged then honestly why watch a sport comprised of 68% young African American men and be surprised that they want to speak out about the issues they feel are impacting their communities? If you are invested less because of Covid, then I understand. No fans in the stands doesn't bother me personally (been watching the NBA bubble and it isn't any less interesting to me) but I can get people not enjoying it as much. Also while there haven't been a ton of opt outs there is enough to make you think things are a bit off more than usual. The only thing that is making me less invested this season is the possibility of a Covid outbreak on a team messing up the season. I think the NFL should have bubbled up like the NHL and NBA (Make 4 regional bubbles) and this way the chance of an outbreak is far more limited. If I knew that there wasn't a good chance of a Covid outbreak I would be just as invested as ever, right now I am "just" 90% as invested as I would be for a "normal" season. To quote the late great Patrice O'Neal, "they for sure thought the DC Sniper was a white guy... Sniper? That's a white guy crime"

I suspect that Tre's extension will not "kick in" until the 2022 season. By then hopefully the cap bumps back up and things become easier to manager for Tre's deal.
