Thanks for posting~ FANTASTIC to watch!

It's bad news for every franchise when a team overpays and ups the market for a players price. Agents get cocky and players at the same position demand even more money. CJ Mosley, Ragnow, Jalen Ramsey, Dak, Elliott and some recent safety deals are examples Sure it's great for the players, but bad for the teams

Well- I think the defense really missed him, he is one of the Bills most expensive players and it's the offseason so not much else to talk about!😀

Not sure having Star back is anything but good news. The McDermott 4-3 or nickel "system" relies on a big 1 tech DT to crash the line and free up LBS. Last year the dudes we had playing DT did not do that very well and the defense suffered against the run-I still shudder at that horrifying 1st Kansas City game thrashing last year. This year we can dare teams to run and maybe have a better chance of stopping it!

You guys won't like this, but Stephon Gilmore. Great player, miserable team. If he was just a couple years later and paired with TreD on this roster....well who knows:)

Not sure I'm a fan of a Whaley going on record throwing Nix under the bus- leadership needs to take ownership of mistakes. That said, he probably isn't making this up- at the time EJ wasn't regarded as a sure fire 1st round pick as I recall. I'll never forget some of those 1st practices I got to attend at SJF college EJs rookie year. EJ strolls out, Tom Selleck mustache and some swagger and I'm thinking- well-- maybe we got something here! Then he proceeds to throw every other pass into the stands and we all knew then we were in trouble-- again. Articles like this make me thankful even more for McBeane!

I was at that game in AZ- was a truly great moment after Diggs made the catch! Was high fiving with family in the stands and hugging- we thought it was a winner. Cardinal fans (who are pretty cool) started leaving and giving us "good game" nods. The fluke duck play aside, that was a heckuva clutch drive, as our QB was cash money

Totally agree. Working with a Union is extremely complicated and it's hard to find middle ground. This seems reasonable- I mean essentially you are free not to get the vaccine, but there are negative consequences you must deal with. I think the NFL overall has been masterful throughout this crises and managed a full season last year

Disagree- A good team today that is in tight but not critical cap shape is way better than a crappy roster with nothing but hope and cap space!

What are you talking about? Please add some context for us out of towners who aren't privy to the local news. Did he show up out of shape? Do you own a restaurant he showed up in and he's fat? Can't follow your 4 word post at all and this site is how some of us keep on on the scoop...

Not sure what the new Texans GM was supposed to with the QB spot- -inherited a pissed off QB demanding trade (Watson) -QB in all kinds of trouble getting a message from 7,000 women (Watson) He could not anticipate either of these things To top it off, Texans had no 1st OR 2nd round pick. That's bad So they got a decent free agent place holder (Tyrod) and drafted a rookie they hope can play and/or develop Guy is doing the best he can with the hand he was dealt

She's pretty cool- has like a Masters in Analytics from MIT. Does predictions on games, signings etc for NFL Network. Sometimes right, sometimes wrong, but she has some sort of statistical model she uses to make predictions and reactions. I like her. Doesn't hurt that she is an absolute smoke show

Agree this is great news- We keep our very good center We don't create another hole in the O Line Bills save cap room- wins all around

Yup-obsession with ex Panthers stings on this one. A fine player to add for much cheaper- doubt any other team in the NFL would have offered a contract like this

I thought originally the idea was posted by Matt Millen, former Lions GM. And the absurdity of the idea made sense. 1st round picks are critical in the salary cap era-sure if you have Tom Brady you can whiff, you can get lucky, but otherwise no gimme those picks

Great thread- felt a lot of pride in the folks at the game and how loud they were. Could hear from my couch in Arizona! One of the few thinks I do miss about NY is my Bills season tickets!

This doesn't make any sense to me- how were defenses less able to gel than offenses this offseason? I thought the NFL and NFLPA did a remarkable job coming up with a plan and completing the season this year-- personally I thank them for it

Josh Allen is playing great for sure. However I never understand why fans root for QBs to get these obscene contracts- are you related to him? The $30 million + contract will be a huge drain on the Bills resources for years. It becomes hard to retain top talent with a bloated QB contract (see Rams, Eagles, Seahawks, etc.) The longer the Bills can hold off paying Josh like this the better for the team- it's not personal it's just business. Use the QB rookie deal window for as long as possible

I live in AZ and have watched all the Cards games IMHO, here's what I think: -They miss Kenyon Drake- the backup RB Edmunds is hit or miss -The secondary is shaky- Baker and Peterson can play, but the others can be exploited -They really miss Jones- LB crew is average -OL seems decent- better than in recent years -WRs are pretty good- Kirk and Isabella can fly. Hopkins is still a handful and Larry the legend is clutch Kyler Murray is a demon- he's hell on wheels when he runs. Reminds me of Dark Helmet from SpaceBalls because he is so small with a huge helmet. His legs and feet are so fast it's hard to see them move! He will run the ball and get yards- -Coaching is ok- I think Kingsbury has a couple of cool plays every game -Defense can be outsmarted- I have seen them pushed around and also seen them thrown on Should be a fun game- wish I could go! Had tickets but then they limited fan attendance:(

I don't imagine a trade would be in order for even a healthy Ertz 1) We like our premium draft picks 2) Guy is pretty expensive 3) He has been publicly belly aching for a new deal- that won't stop with a trade 4) He is already 30 5) Cap # is uncertain next year- adding high $ players is not smart 6) He has no Carolina Panther experience

Let the year play out! Maybe even the option year as well! Don't rush into a franchise QB contract. Sure it would be great for Josh, but NOT for the team at all Overpaying too early would be a potential disaster, and the folks running the bills are too smart for that (now)

I agree with this- haven't purchased madden in a few years I liked old PS2 Franchise mode- playing GM was fun! The new console version of franchise mode stinks, and I am too old and disinterested to play online games with strangers

Best player on the roster at a premium position. This had to be done! Happy about this!
