Josh Norman is regularly asked questions by the media (as is the sports media's right) and he gave a glowing review of the organization. Do you want him to please the 5th?

Postpone the seasons until the spring, why risk people's lives?

Jamis is much better at getting the ball down field in 2019 than Brady but Jamis is also so much more turnover prone. The trade off probably benefits a game manager plus like Brady but I think a lot has to fall right for Tampa Bay including a 43 year old QB coming off his worst season since before the Iraq War.

He will be 27 in November, that being said he is in his prime and I think he can anchor the WR1 position for 3 to 4 seasons and still be productive for another 2 to 3 after that. But my main point was that he is someone who in 3 years might not have to much "prime" years left and might need a younger player to take the pressure off.

Phillips and Oliver should start at DT with Butler and Jefferson working in. Hughes and Addision should start at DE with Murphy and AJ (and possibly Jefferson) working in. LB should be simple Edumonds and Milano will be in the Nickel and Klein will be the third LB in on "standard" sets.

If this team hits long term on Davis that will be huge for this team going forward. Brown and Beasley are older (and Brown carries a big injury history) and Diggs isn't super young for the position. If McBeane can get a guy like Davis to develop into a higher end starting WR it would greatly ensure the future of the team.

Winning and investment in the team will end up doing that. The Pegulas not only invested when it came to free agents and ditching cash to cap but they also built a state of the art practice facility and one of the best support infrastructures in the league. Now they have a head coach GM Combo that can put it all together and it's resulting in winning. All that leads to a good reputation within the league.

I think Long's salary made it harder to trade him.

Not shocking he found a landing spot, Oline play in the league is hard to come by. He should be able to hang around the league for a few more years.

I was fully agreeing, kind of confusing as to how I wrote it. This team's window to win in the next 2-3 years. Tre helps this team win the next 3 seasons far more than 2 first round picks and a second round pick would. Whereas even if Adams was as good as Tre the Jets are several years away from contending with or without him. The draft picks and cap space better fit the Jets window of building a team. Simply put the Jets are kind of where the Bills were in 2017 if they had Josh that year hypothetically. If the Bills had a disgruntled Tre in 2017 it would probably make sense to trade him and facilitate a rebuild long term as if you are 2-3 years away might as well take the cost controlled picks. I also think given that Tre is a model citizen and an All-Pro you take care of him as it is best for the team long and short term.

The Jets weren't a Jamal Adams away from competing in the next 2-3 seasons. Those picks and the cap relief of not having to sign Adams to a deal are of much more value to them. The Bills are a Tre White away from contending in the next 2-3 years. The secondary is heavily anchored by Tre and even if the Bills hauled in two first round picks and a second round pick along with a decent player for Tre it still would hold less value for the Bills over the next 2-3 years. Yes long term in a 4-7 year time frame could the Bills get more value out of 3 premium draft picks and the cap space from Tre? Arguably yes (Most player for picks trades usually look better long term for the team that gets the picks), but your window to contend in the NFL is short and losing your best defensive player almost no matter what the return hurts your team's ability to contend and sets you back from winning while you have as complete a team as possible. I also think the message you send to the team by trading away a leader almost certainly helps tank your season. Tre was literally the first player drafted by McD and he has been an All-Pro. You have to send a message to your team you are willing to take care of your own. Tre is also a super great guy who you feel comfortable handling a big contract and his play on the field more than justifies it. That's why the Diggs trade makes sense for the Bills given the window to win. The Bills might have been better served long term by having drafted a WR who would be in team control for 5 years with that pick and have some more sort term cap space. But Diggs makes an impact from day one and maximizes the team's window to win the next 2-3 seasons in a way a rookie most likely wouldn't have. Time tables matter. Even if Adams was as good as Tre on the field the Jets were better off trading him because they aren't going anywhere the next 2 years anyway. Adams no matter how good he was isn't the difference between the Jets contending and the Jets not contending. If you are at least a year or two away getting two first round picks and cap relief is insanely good for them at their point of rebuilding. The Bills on the other hand are a Tre White away from competing. The Bills need Tre to maximize a window to win in the next 2-3 seasons. Whereas had the Jets kept Adams they wouldn't see a window to really win with him until he was on a big contract in his late 20's.

I don't get this obsession with moving Ford into guard without seeing what he has at RT first. I thought Ford's play actually did improve at RT when Ty got hurt later on. He was tragic early on but I thought by the end of the season was playing at a respectable level. The organization is going to let him have an offseason to learn and get back out there at RT. If he looks bad there this season kick him in. If not keep him out there.

Seems reasonable for both sides.

Weird reclamation projects at QB will almost always be a fixture at the QB position. After Flutie, Cunningham and Vinny in 1998 every few years there comes around a QB reclamation. As others have mentioned guys like Brad Johnson, Kurt Warner, Michael Vick, Bret Farve and Nick Foles have had later career revivals similar to those 1998 QB's. So will 3 happen in one season like in 1998? Possible but unlikely, however these revival stories are going to come around here and there.

Possibly? I think Levi Wallace is a decent CB2 option and Norman is a reclamation project. So if Josh Norman busts they can plug in Levi Wallace and be fine.

That could be possible. If that is the case then there isn't much you can do. I do like that the team was aggressive to get Winters after Feliciano's injury. But it would have been nice to keep Long through camp.

I think so, I think he will be one of the top MLB's in the game. He was already playing at a top 5 level towards the back half of last season. I think he can put in a full season of top play at the position.

One of the few moves this off-season McBeane has done that I don't like. Carry him through camp, with one O-line injury and this Covid situation Long would have been a nice depth piece.

You can literally never have enough O-line depth. The attention to detail on this roster is the best I have ever seen as a fan. Winters is a starting caliber guard and in a season where depth is insanely needed. I love this move. Good to replace Feliciano short term.

It is better to know you are going to have football in October than to just hope you are going to have it in September.

The NFL needs to announce a delay to their season and come up with a bubble plan. Start the season in October and use the next two months to bubble up. Do 4 regional bubbles, 2 divisions in each bubble. You play your 6 divisional games and then 4 games against the other division. There is then a league wide bye week and you have 4 divisions travel to another bubble and play the final 4 games of the season. It seems like they need to find a way to avoid being in the same predicament as the MLB and they don't have a coherent vision.

Bring him in for camp in 2021. He was signed on a vet minimum deal so literally it costs the team nothing to kick the tires one last time on a player that you know can fit the scheme. It also gives his body a year of rest maybe he can get healthy?

Even if you wrote that off for some reason there is inherent risk to a lot of players getting the virus if we don't know the long term health consequences. We could be losing a lot of players down the line to possible heart and respiratory damage down the line. We really don't know what the long term impact of this virus is. I get people want to play the season and have football but the league needs to do a legitimate bubble plan because the MLB is proving there is no other way to do it. Do 4 regional bubbles, 8 teams in each bubble. You play 10 games in the bubble (6 against your division 4 against another division) you then swap to another bubble to play your final 4 games against a different division (thus only half the league needs to travel) and you get a 14 game season with 2 league wide bye weeks to help ease quarantine measures and provide a sort of reset twice.

76 Receptions, 1,123 yards, and 7 TD's.

Look at nations in the EU, Asia and Canada, they reopened once they had sustained low positivity rates for a month like the science says and they aren't seeing a surge. The US lowered rates but then reopened in a disorganized fashion far sooner than the science said. "Herd Immunity" is a moronic strategy. Sweden the darling of that idea had only 10% of the population had anti bodies and you need 60% to reach herd immunity. They basically admitted their own failure. So no you don't have to just let it "blow through"
