Spotrac has Cook pegged at $8MM, which, BTW is what King Henry is making this year.

Von's career earnings are $187 Million, so what's $1.5MM among friends.

Here's the YTD Snap counts for the edge rushers on the active roster: Rousseau ED 735 Epenesa ED 607 Smoot DE 308 Miller ED 276 Solomon DE 75

I think that's called a "business decision" Would equal his base salary for this year, and more than recover his suspension $

The Baldy breakdown on the combined Von/Rousseau sack, makes me wonder what KC will have to do with their troubles at tackle?

From his pro day: Joe Andreessen, ILB, Buffalo Name: Joe Andreessen (Transfer from Bryant) College: Buffalo Number: 12 School Bio/Stats Link: HERE Height: 6-1 Weight: 240 Position: Pos2: OLB/ST Class/Draft Year: rSr/2024 40 Low: 4.60 40 Time: 4.65 40 High: 4.70 Dates: 03/14/24 Hand: 09 1/8 Arm: 30 1/2 Wingspan: 74 5/8 Height: 6004 Weight: 240 40 Yrd Dash: 4.65 20 Yrd Dash: 2.69 10 Yrd Dash: 1.59 225 Lb. Bench Reps: 32 Vertical Jump: 38 Broad Jump: 10'02" 20 Yrd Shuttle: 4.22 3-Cone Drill: 7.21 +8 LBs/40 Time Range: 4.64-4.65/Projected: 4.78/**-.13 His Strength and Vertical are pretty elite for a 240# guy. RAS of 9.36

He was listed at 240 at his pro day. I suspect the strength and conditioning folks got rid of some weight through diet and programs, but a 240 pound LB who can run is a rare asset to have.

Of course with Levi Wallace on the other boundary, that was a good business decision to throw that way.

Better get some run stuffers, Barkley behind that O-Line will be a nightmare for our current D.

I think he's out of call-ups. He was called up for Texans, Colts & Jets. Of course you could IR Samuel

Some of this is starting to turn into a participation award. JMHO

I think you need to add Benford, who is an elite cornerback. He was ranked 8th last year, and is currently ranked 4th after 16 games. Based on this year's performance, would you rather have him or Sauce?

He leads by example in so many ways. Guys been hurt since the first game, and just keeps keeping on, performing at a high level despite playing in pain.

Can you imagine what he and Josh could do in the same backfield? Throwing, Catching, Running [over people], he could be our answer to Saquon or King Henry. Also from the Central Valley of California [Sacramento area].

I think they can put 7 on the inactive list if they want to have 48 active on gameday - 5 rostered players inactive, plus 2 injured rostered players replaced by PS callups. The problem is you have 48 active on gameday, and you have to have 11 players on an average [Off, Def, Teams] of 155 snaps in a game. Your QB's don't normally play teams, and your kicker, punter and Snapper only play a few snaps a game, Bass averages 12, Ferguson and Martin about 9. The 48 game day actives when you back out the Kicker, punter, and long snapper and the reserve qb, mean you have exactly 44 players to cover all the snaps. Those 44 players each have to cover about 40 snaps a game. There will be a very limited number of active players who see single digit snaps even in a "just give it to 'em game" like we have Sunday.

Easier said than done, There are only a handful of them playing at any sort of high level. If you remember Linval Joseph, he's still playing for Dallas. Not a lot of 330 - 350 pound humans with the athletic ability to play 0 or 1 tech in the NFL. Daquan is still graded in the top 8 of the very large humans that play in the trenches.

Ulofoshio, who is never active is listed at 239.

Be just like the phish to trade him to the Bengals, as a replacement for Higgins

Mike Edwards is our very large human on the practice squad 6-5 363, he must be fun for our Interior DL when they have reps against the scout team.

I think this will give Buffalo Joe more snaps this week in case he has to play defense in the playoffs. I like that he's a "bigger" linebacker.

I think Mike White has been elevated three times already, but then declared inactive each time. Doesn't he have to be brought up to the active roster to be active this week? He was listed as inactive vs. 49ers, Lions, Patriots Thoughts?

I think we are limited to two elevations per week. Some starters are going to have to play some snaps. Can't imagine McD will send Josh out there for the opening series without the starting O-Line. Not sure if some players have playing snap % incentives that they have to reach, that has meant players have played in the past.

I saw someone mention Gabe and McKenzie. Can the case be made that their inability to finish the catch was contributing to Josh's historically high INT #'s prior to this season. This year relatively Josh has thrown relatively the fewest INT's of his career, and wondering if it's because his targets are more reliable at catching the ball.

Can't they designate him as a 3rd Emergency QB? or is that only in case of injury? Of course Josh has been playing hurt most of the season so there's that as well.

At Hail Mary Time, we can now trot out Kincaid, Knox, Coleman, Shavers [if active] and Hollins - all 6-4. Gone are the days of Bills only having Smurf receivers
