If it's just alarms, a team could bring him in as a UDFA and see how he does. If it's clear he's never going to be that good again, probably the word's gotten out.

I saw a clip where Arazia was at his goal line when he punted, and the ball landed beyond the opposing 25. The knock on Arazia is apparently that he doesn't get enough hang time, and that's a big worry. The Bills had a punter with the highest average in the league a couple of years ago, Bojorquez, and they cut him, and so have the teams he signed with. I don't know if he didn't have enough hang time or if he couldn't kick directionally, or if he wasn't a good holder on FGs and EPs. Whatever, there's a lot more going on there than just punting for average. it would be great to have someone better than Haack punting for us, but I've read that Haack is an excellent holder for Bass. So it's not a lock that Arazia makes the team.

If you give a bad cook the best ingredients in the world, dinner will still taste bad. Sorry Jets.

Would any team draft any CB who wasn't confident about his abilities? He'll find out what the NFL is about, right quick. Actually I think this attitude is what the Jets need -- someone confident who might help turn around the garbage fire culture in New Jersey. He'll probably be one of their best players until he walks away as a FA or is traded because the Jets can't afford to pay him in a few years.

Belichick is a great coach, but he's a mediocre GM. The Pats should strip his GM duties away and let him concentrate on coaching.

Does anyone know what Tennessee's cap situation is? It sounds like they couldn't afford to pay Brown so they made the best deal they could. As of a couple of years ago, Brown was the kind of WR all the teams wanted. Big body, fairly fast, good hands, good routes. A prototypical 2018 franchise receiver.

She's 5' 8"

The current roster has almost no holes for starters and has depth at most positions. Keeping all our picks just means good players get put on the practice squad and become emergency fill-ins for other teams. I'm tired of seeing Bills picks plucked away. Better IMHO to reduce the number of picks overall by 1-3 and get higher positions / better players. CB/OL/WR and maybe safety.

Other than Van Miller, I'd go with Curt Gowdy and Merlin Olsen.

So I've had NFLST on DirecTV for years, with a satellite dish. Service has been great. But we're moving this summer and honestly the only reason I've had DirecTV has been so I could get NFLST. It sounds like people here have experience getting NFLST via streaming. Any recommendations on which service we should get? I want local programming as well as HBO etc. Thanks in advance.

At the rate the Browns are going, they're going to have five guys on their team. That's all they'll have money for under the salary cap.

OMG I hate the offseason.

That's a decent ranking. I just want to note that being in the third tier makes him just slightly above average, and yet he's getting paid like a much better QB. Each team in the AFCW plays six divisional games. It's hard to see any of them doing better than 4-2, considering the high level of competition. If the Bills can repeat at 6-0 in the AFCE, that's a leg up on the One Seed.

I suspect that Allen knew he wasn't getting every nickel he could get. He's still going to be fabulously wealthy. He wants to win and if he scoops up all the nickels there wouldn't be a way to keep the team together. This guy cares a lot more about hoisting the Lombardi than in being the best-paid QB. The teams overpaying for QBs are the ones with big holes in their roster.

There are at least 12 QBs that you could reasonably put on a Top 5 list. It's a silly argument. God I hate the offseason.

Not so sure about Ford. He's still on his cheap rookie contract and provides a warm body that can fill in at guard or tackle. Not a good fill-in, for sure, but at least available for emergencies, which is what most backups in the NFL amount to. Once his rookie contract is over, I agree, he's gone.

There were at least two long runs where several Bill defenders had a chance to prevent conversion of a 3rd down, and where they just fell off. The Bills have no one besides themselves to blame. msw's post is exactly right up to the point where it says we'll never know. Anyone who watched that game knows what happened.

Whaddya mean LA isn't that great of a football market? Didn't you see the SB parade, where dozens and dozens of fans straggled in next to the street where the Rams were parading? Obviously I'm being sarcastic. People warned for years that LA simply has too many other options for entertainment or participation.

Jay Leno said if that happened to him, forget the doctor, he was gonna call all his female friends.

Every team has holes, somewhere. Some of those holes are deep canyons and others are mere depressions, where the player isn't quite good enough but isn't a disaster. The Bills are built to have as few holes as possible and to have whatever holes do appear be as shallow as possible. Right now the only holes on the team are at CB and backup safety. There are depressions on backup OL positions, and I would like the receiver corps to be deeper (we were so deep there last year) and a better RB. Compared to the potholes every other team has to work around, we're in great shape.

Y use one why when you can use 2?

The newer logo, with the charging buffalo, looks dated to me. So 70s. The standing buffalo looks classic. I'd actually like to see them go back to the standing buffalo as their standard helmet and logo.

This is great news. Does anyone know what this does to this year's salary cap?

One end zone should say BUFFALO and the other NY STATE. Especially after the new stadium is in use, because NYS will be the owner of the facility.

Fair enough, but their needs are very different than ours at this point. The Panthers are very far from being a SB team, and they have a lot of other needs to address, to the point where an expensive, older CB is a luxury they can't afford. It was pretty stupid of them to trade for Gilmore last season instead of conserving draft picks, but pretty stupid is how you get to be in their situation these days.
