None of whom have a ring among them…

Re the salaries part, I don’t disagree, which was kinda my point, kinda not. The response to my initial post was kinda presumptuous on the part of that poster, which was why I worded it that way. Relatively speaking, if the reported #’s are true, I hardly think he was offered a “raw deal”, I think he was offered fair market value in a declining market for RBs. To your second point, IMO unfortunately for Saquon, even if he plays and lights it up in 2023 I don’t think he gets a better offer next season. He’ll have 1 more year of wear and tear at a devalued position where depreciation happens at an earlier age than other positions. It is what it is and 1 year is not likely to see it change for the better.

You say that as though you know my profession… I can tell you they’re the same in that salaries are set by market pressure in what I do as well. IMO, if what’s out there about what he wants and what he was offered is true, he’s getting some bad advice from his agent. The market for RBs is not uptrending, and while a 4M difference is obviously a lot of money, he’s not likely to get a better offer next season and he’s likely to lose out on more than that in the long run.

It’s just like an NFL broadcast… so much better with the sound off. I almost would have rather listened to Beth Mowins do the play-by-play…

When asked about Kyle Williams first ever career INT off of Jay Cutler in the postgame presser, Martellus Bennett moodily responds “I don’t know what happened on that sh!t. The fat guy got a pick.”

Joe Devlin lived down the street from me when I was growing up, coached my HS girlfriend’s brother’s t-ball team, and near as I could tell, based on all appearances, didn’t really seem to like children, umpires, manners, or really anyone in general.

Any idea where I can get me one of those 13M per year raw deals?!?! Sign me up!!!

Chris Watson wasn’t a punt returner, he was more of a punt catcher.

I wasn’t arguing for Hopkins, I was arguing against your assessment that that I bolded and italicized, that Davis is fine as a WR2. Hopkins would have been a nice addition as a WR2, but not at anywhere near what the Titans gave him. IMO giving a 31 yo DHop that contract just compounds the mistake they made in getting rid of AJ Brown.

Year 3, actually. Allen started 2018, Diggs first year in Buffalo was 2020. I don't think the mistake was in the WR corp in 2018, though, I think it was in the QB room. They were undergoing a roster makeover. Allen's first season as a Bill was not supposed to be his first season starting, but for the mess that was AJ McCarron and Nate Peterman forcing him into action, when he truly did have no one to throw to. 2019 he had John Brown and Cole Beasely, so I would hardly say he was "without anything even resembling a competent WR" as @Billl states, though he may have been soley referencing 2018.

Horseshoe up their ass in 2022 aside, I'm not sure that I'd call Kirk "You like that!!!... definition of stat padding" Cousins as your QB a good situation. They're a mediocre to borderline good team that will never get over the hump with him under center.

Beane's reported attempt to get one of the first round WRs in this year's draft, his ultimate selection of Kinkaid, his interest in DHop and OBJ, and Davis's play on the field last season when defenses adjusted to him combined with Digg's frustration in the offense at the end of the season would suggest otherwise...

If it wasn’t gonna be Buffalo, this probably has the least impact on the Bills (and the rest of the league). Have fun spending the balance of your career toiling henceforth in mediocrity, Nuke. At this point in your career, AJ Brown you ain’t.

Newton was also brutalized in the pocket when he wasn’t running. NFL officiating is almost as much to blame for his physical demise as is his style of play.

Let me get this straight, the Pegulas bought Johns Hopkins University so they could add an apostrophe?!?! But… why?

Not taking anything away from Hyde, that was an amazingly athletic play on his part, but it was far from a perfect pass. If you watch the pylon view at the end, it's behind Aghalor and because of Jone's barely NFL caliber arm he's got to put a ton of air under it so it takes forever to get to the WR. A perfectly thrown pass would have been out in front of Aghalor without the loft on it and Hyde would have had no shot at it.

Woodward and Bernstein… just as hard hitting… and nearly as old

Had to look him up… he has almost as punchable of a face as wrong Josh and Kirk Cousins.

How about Ritchie Incognito… or maybe they have already and we just didn’t know it… 🤔🤷‍♂️

Well I know you weren’t Kenickie or Sandy, cuz they’re no longer with us… Frenchy?!?!

Reverence is reserved for divinity or something extraordinary… there was nothing out of ordinary about Taylor. He was perfectly average at the end of the day.

Trust me, if you’re dumb enough to bring up your wife’s mashed potatoes in the middle of a press conference it’s DEFINITELY your fault. 😂

Ok, they’re suspended, but can they still do promotional work for DraftKings, Caesar’s and other league sanctioned gambling sponsors… hypocritical m****r f*****s.

Maybe so, but that’s not exactly a good reason for opting for the word vomit that McDermott ultimately put out there… and don’t call me Surely.

He’s not the one who threw a big ol’ can of gasoline on the fire, though. McDermott is to blame for that fiasco. He could have easily taken some attention away from it by making is seem like a nothingburger, but he chose to escalate it instead.
