Wait, what?! Why would I need to stock up on food?

Come to the light, Carol Anne 😱

This is BIG. I hope Swider and Benny stay.

Word around the campfire is that, very recently, the coaching staff has been given cause for hope. We'll find out tomorrow at 4:00. I've sent out the "bat signal" to the one connection I have left on the hill that gets reliable information. Haven't heard back yet.

It was real. Rock was all choked up as he tried to transition to the next award. Will Smith is nuttier than squirrel turds, and is lucky Chris Rock is a solid, old-school dude who wouldn’t press charges or sue.

IIRC, Jim has already said that Buddy is gone regardless. The jury is still out on Jimmy Junior. I haven’t heard anything definitive, but I trust @DCOrange and his sources.

I think it is more common than you think. I played a college sport which helped a lot. I had 35 friends before I even stepped on campus. Girls came to our parties and wanted to be around us. I wasn’t the most outgoing or “coolest” kid in HS, but I played sports and I was kind to others, so I had a lot of friends of all different types. I consider myself to be an extroverted introvert. I can “work the room” and feel comfortable in any social setting, but I’d much prefer to be my myself most of the time.

Nah, I made lots of friends right away. Also crushed tons of pusss. College was the best 7 years of my life. To the OP, did you ever actually try to hang out on campus other than during the day? I knew commuters who never hung out at night or on the weekends. Also knew people who lived on campus and went home every weekend. I never understood that…

Good thing we have like 8 picks and not a lot of needs. Agreed about the dire need for CB2, but Beane will have the picks to maneuver around in a draft that’s pretty deep with CBs. Also, Beane seems to have a knack at finding good DB’s in the mid-late rounds. I completely trust him. I just like Dotson a lot, and would be thrilled to land him at 25. Your point is understood though.

Man…I’ve been watching a lot of Jahan Dotson highlights lately and I think he might be my favorite WR in the draft. He’s deceptively fast and explosive. Great route runner. Love the way he catches the ball. Not the most physically imposing guy, but he’s going to be a problem in the NFL, IMHO. I’d be thrilled with him at 25.

Not a bad signing for potential IOL depth. I don’t think this has as much to do with Bates as it does with losing Mongo. From what I have read, he fits well technique wise with what Kromer wants to do.

I got it WR, CB, IOL 😁 Treylon Burks/Jahan Dotson/Jameson Williams Andrew Booth/Kaiir Elam/Roger McCreary/Kyler Gordon

Mine was not driving but on a boat. A shrimping boat. You see, my friend Bubba had a dream to be a shrimping boat captain, and when he died I felt compelled to fulfill his dream. People called me crazy, but I didn’t listen. But shrimping was hard! That is until Lieutenant Dan came down to the bayou to help. He was a troubled man. Anyway, the sea was angry that night my friend. 80 mph winds, 20-30’ swells, rain as hard as momma’s fryin’ pan. I don’t know how we made it out alive, but I think Lieutenant Dan made his peace with god that night.

You draft a ***** punter at 25, that’s how! 😂 Personally, I’d like to go offensive skill position (WR, RB, TE) with our first 2 picks 🤷🏾‍♂️

Right. Isn’t it a good feeling that we really don’t “need” to go out and spend a ton of cash in FA? Our biggest needs now, arguably, are CB, WR and NT (maybe lesser so after Tim Settle signing?). Nice to be able to swing for the fences with every one of our picks in the draft.

What the hell do you want? JC Jackson for the vet minimum? Chandler Jones to play for unlimited wings? Jesus! When you have very little cap room, a very good roster, and quite of few core players coming up soon for new contracts….you add value depth pieces in free agency. I don’t get what’s so hard to comprehend. Did you not learn math ever?

If you read the entire OP, it actually makes sense. He’s mainly referring to those FAs (such as Saffold/Landry) who are in the “twilight of their careers,” but still have a couple good playing years left in them. They already have had 2 or more good contracts, so $ may be less important to them than winning. Take a guy like Christian Kirk who could have probably signed a 8-9 million dollar/year deal in Buffalo and have a legit shot to win a chip. Now he’ll be making ~17 million/year playing for the Jags 🤢🤮 It depends on the FA and where they are with their careers, IMO.

But why kick the can down the road with important players such as Knox, Oliver and Edmunds (debatable) approaching the time for new deals? I just don’t understand your logic with the way Beane has always handled free agency.

I mean Alex Cappa, who many consider to be in the same “range” as Norwell in terms of FA value just signed a 4 year/40 million contract. Chandler is projected to make ~16.5 million/year. I’ve seen the salary cap really isn’t a thing argument, but where do you see $$ like this coming from? Not trying to be snarky. I’m just wondering why you think these type of deals are achievable.

Fair enough. Some examples of these 1 or 2 “impact” players Buffalo could afford in FA right now? At positions of need, of course. Thanks.

We get it. You don’t like the move for Saffold. You want to make Jacksonville type moves with peanuts for salary cap space? Come on man.

Athletes like to win 🤷🏾‍♂️

I had french toast sticks and coffee for breakfast. Was going to go for the egg-normous burrito, but I need to be productive today.

This would be a huge get for Cuse. Kick Joe over to SG where he belongs. Q Copeland could play either guard position off the bench while he develops.

I was just saying to my son last night that I was rooting for Duke to win it all. He told me he couldn’t believe those words were coming out of my mouth.
