BADOLBILZ

That is such a bad take. What he did was stupid and unacceptable..........the argument is whether or not he's paid for it...........and he was punished and served his punishment. That's the reasoning.......not that what he did wasn't so bad.

Njoku did next to nothing last year and has a $6M+ cap hit............that would require some major payroll restructures to create.........so what are you going to do? Sign him to an extension? What would it be worth for someone who has been a bust so far? And if it's not an aav of big $ per year why would he want to do that going into his walk year where he is looking to break out? I just don't see how Njoku is a fit in a trade scenario. And Hunt certainly isn't worth a second or third round pick.

They are in the position the Bills were in recent offseasons...........not seen as a real contender..........so they will have to pay a bit of a premium............but that shows that there is some normalcy in the market and that below market is still a discount at this point in free agency. That Barrett deal was a relative steal for the top pass rusher in the first wave of FA.

In a normal year I wouldn't have been surprised to see him get $25M aav but I thought he would get $20M aav at least this year. I mean Watt got $15M aav.

Looks like he took at least a $3M-$5M discount. No state income tax, but still.........great deal for Bucs.

How do you weight Melifonwu's very recently over-drafted bust of a brother against Melifonwu 2.0? Sometimes there seems to be a correlation, sometimes there isn't.........but those two are pretty similar athletes. When you see something like Star Lotulelei playing balls out in his rookie year and then cruise controlling and cashing checks for the rest of it (and then opting out knowing his $ was guaranteed)..........and seeing his bro decide not to play in the NFL when he wasn't lined up for a big rookie contract like Star.......perhaps sometimes the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

You stated it in a very nonsensical way...........improving in the areas they need to catch the Chiefs........pass rush and more explosiveness on offense.........wouldn't make them more vulnerable to defeat elsewhere........those are pretty universally desirable traits..........but yeah they need to focus on getting better as a whole more than specific matchups with KC. Example........don't reach over a stud LT prospect who could be a $20M player down the road to pick a gimmick player like Kad Toney or a RB like Etienne in round 1. We all thought Cordy Glenn was going to be the LT in Buffalo for 8-10 years.....rosters change fast in the NFL.

Toney reminds me of a much less accomplished/productive version of this guy: In college.........even at the highest levels.........elusiveness without speed works. Warrick was amazing..........but he wasn't fast(4.58)..........he had a decent pro career.........sorta' Cole Beasley like production at WR and a solid punt returner(where making the first guy miss played).............but he never really materialized into that kind of big play guy in the pros that you expect from a 1st round pick. I suspect Toney is more of a 4.5 guy as well........he doesn't look fast on tape. Elusiveness without speed in the NFL is Devin Singletary..........it may work if they aren't expecting it.........but once they get some tape on you defenders just make sure not to over-pursue because they know you can't run past them if they don't.

No, he is just a RB...........and a running back with a lot of mileage.

An idea I have been kicking around is this: Buffalo put a 2nd round tender on Levi Wallace Denver put a 2nd round tender on Phillip Lindsay Then swapping them for each other.........pre-agreed.......obviously nobody is ponying up a deuce for either of them. Lindsay is that proven speed back.........$3.4M ain't dirt cheap for one year but it's not bad........and he's not real happy in Denver.

Njoku is due over $6M in base salary this year........and probably hasn't yet done enough to be worth half of that $.........and will want to have a big year and hit free agency. A player like Ertz is more of a proven commodity and more likely to be amenable to a team friendly extension, IMO.

Peak Jamal Charles couldn't have hit the LOS fast enough to find a whole last year...........it often did not exist.........which in turn made the backs they had more tentative. It got frustrating at the end..........I remember cussing out Moss in the finale for being tentative on a play I thought should have been an 8-10 yarder that he only got 4 yards on. When Williams came in he just barreled into the hole and ripped off big yardage.......you saw a difference. Like Moss you can time Williams 40 (4.52) with a dun dial.

Yeah like I said though..........if you don't block well, eventually it will compound when your backs get tentative.......then they leave yards on the table. It really all starts with blocking. Even players with extraordinary skills will not be as successful if they don't trust their blocking. Antonio Williams nice performance was more an example of a guy who hadn't been battered by unblocked defenders all year than anything else, IMO. His college tape was not very impressive. He is not as good as Singletary or Moss but if you block for him and he sees that and believes, then even he is a probably an adequate RB to win games with.

Devin Singletary (4.6) and Zach Moss (4.3) both averaged more than the league averaged per carry.........and yet the team average was 4.2........so crediting the success to Allen and pinning the failure on the two lead RB's isn't an argument that holds water. I will say this........the blocking was so underwhelming for such a long stretch of the season in the run game that I felt that late in the season Singletary and Moss stopped trusting it. They were hit in the hole by unblocked defenders so regularly that they stopped hitting it as hard. I think we saw that in the finale against the Dolphins when early on I thought the RB's left some yards on the table.....and then when Williams came in he ran with abandon thru those holes and got impressive results. The backs are plenty capable.......the numbers back it up.......they produce and are strong relative to the league in yards after contact. As for replacing them........Leonard Fournette is a much more impressive beast of a RB than Najee Harris and Travis Etienne...........and he's a career 3.9 ypc RB and only averaged 3.8 last year in Tampa. If you don't block it up it doesn't matter if you are a generational talent............and if you do block well then your RB doesn't have to be great to put up huge numbers.

Our pro bowlers are for real, though. Shaq laid an egg in Miami.

Miami got a player they can use.........they had needs at ILB.......for the 2018 version of Shaq that they accidentally bought.

The running game was disappointing and the backs were part of that but I think we have it out of perspective. They were pretty much a middle of the pack running team........about 19th in ypc and attempts but 11th in big plays(20+) and 3rd in the % of their runs that went for first downs. There is a perception that they are really bad at it, but relative the the rest of the league they aren't. As you said.........they can get A LOT better if they just block better. Their RB's are unspectacular but they also have very good #'s in terms of yards after contact........they are more than sufficient if you give them a gap to run thru. The Bills OL really struggled to block for the run last season.

Do you mean like Karlos Williams and Mike Gillislee.........who they got for a 5th round pick and nothing? Sure. But Devin Singletary is a career 4.8 ypc back..........Carson is at 4.6 but has more mileage and injury concerns. Why would you want to pay 7X as much money for Carson? Part of the issue has to be the old "grass is greener on the other side" or something because people act like they would be getting a massive upgrade and the tape and the numbers do not support that.

This is the kind of attitude that helped St. Louis win the Cup!

In case anyone is unaware of my feeling on runnin' bax..............I would not sign one for good money in UFA even if I didn't have to take relatively extreme measures to do that......like restructuring the contracts of guys like Tre White and Dion Dawkins who were just recently signed. At the point they are wrt the salary cap......in order to add a very good player they likely need to push some money of players already under contract down the road.........just to sign a player to a backloaded contract that pushes money down the road on them too. I'm not against that.....their window is open.......but do it for players at positions that actually change the outcome of games rather than players who you just feel like change the outcome of games. There can be a difference. Follow the Vegas lines.......RB's don't move them.

Or could it make that someone feel more discouraged about their situation?.........in the exact way that insta flexing is so good at doing........and why it's such a great way to advertise products at the young, impressionable and insecure? Can't say it isn't that either. There is a mixed message but it's his message and he's entitled to post whatever he wants and celebrate however he sees fit.

Well ya' see not that many people in their 20's are wealthy nowadays..........times are tough for that generation.........and there is a lot of social posturing at that age.........so they are often trying to make their lives look like what they think would be considered "great" online. There's a lot more on google about the phenomena and we have some experts here.......I don't want to speak out of school but the bottom line appears to be that "it says more about them than anything".......amirite in that synopsis yolo?

Suggestions to avoid controversy: - Have your agent edit a statement like that. - Don't use a self aggrandizing photo for that kind of content........on the couch, sans shades, smiling and holding baby with (fully clothed) wife would be more apropos. - THEN later send the self aggradizing lambo pic but make sure Rachel is semi-clothed in it.

That they are recovering addicts or sensitive to their struggle? Talk about throwing around a dismissive, nothing statement inappropriately. You and Hap know your way around the google machine, but still.........sometimes it's OK to accept that you might not know what you don't know.
