I don't know. But he must be paying a premium for sure
Nor ally you would have pre trial hearings to move things along. As far as I know, he hasn't been to court in over a year.
I just looked out of curiosity… and yes, Jerry jones attorney and also a Texas state senator of 30+ years. A recent lengthy extension to move the trial outside the legislative session of January through June.

Amazing how money can drag something out like this. The judge must be a Chiefs fan.
Normally you don't see something like this go almost two years without court appearances of some type to address the case
doesnt he have Jerry jones attorney or some such? Its been so long that im getting blurry on details -

No They are not
they literally said that the stadium will not be 100% completed by September of 2026 but it will be operational and ready to hold a football game with fans
Just not 100% complete
I’ll say as a public statement 18 months out, that actually gives me a bit of pause on whether it’ll be ready.-

No offense - this is complete fan lore off one TD in one game. His catch % is like 40% against Revis and the Jets in the games Revis played. The only 100 yard game Stevie had in his career was the year Revis played just 2 games and didn't play that game.
yea- he wasn’t locked on revis island but to say he made revis look like trash is definitely mythology surpassing reality-

I seem to remember a lot of those picks being thrown when there were still downs to spare, which was the most maddening part. It would have been different if it was last seconds, or 3rd or 4th and long, but I felt like it was always 2 minutes left, timeouts in hand, 2 and 7 and he'd take a completely unnecessary risk and throw the game away.
meh- I’ve gone back and forth and sometimes your best shot doesn’t come on 4th down so you have to take the coin flip for a 30 yard gain on second down if the opportunity arises because you are unlikely to get a better chunk play later and winning one coin flip is easier than winning 3 coin flips.
there were plenty of days I hated in the moment but ultimately like more than seeing a 7 play turnover on downs or failed Hail Mary

What he wasn't was a top tier starter.. he absolutely was a low-tier bridge starting quarterback his entire career
Which is better than 70% of the NFL... 90 quarterbacks on NFL rosters there's about 22-24 worth a damn who you can start and get some wins
Ryan Fitzpatrick was always at the bottom of that 24 but he was always a legitimate bridge starter.. not a throwaway, not a bottom feeder
Ryan Fitzpatrick was always a serviceable bridge starter... Every team he went to he always went to the top of the depth chart which is something most NFL quarterbacks cannot say
He literally climbed to the top of the depth chart for like four or five NFL teams which is the opposite of not good... He wasn't a game changer which would be correct
He was serviceable
I would take him over a guy like Anthony Richardson if I needed to win a football game.. Anthony Richardson went top five.. I would take him over a guy like Mitch trubisky who went top five
There is a distinction between being an upper tier starter and even being average quality... Even bad teams need a quarterback.. Ryan Fitzpatrick was always the starting quarterback on bad teams typically.. he had maybe one team ever that had playoff aspirations and he had a great season with the Jets and threw an interception on his last drive in Buffalo
It doesn't erase his good season
I think a good example of defining terms being important.
below average starter and below average nfl player at his position are very different
I think universally the board would call him a below average starter (ie around 20th) not below average on a roster (say 40th)

well he was a gunslinger in the mold of Brett favre who didn't have the same arm talent
that's why he's not a Hall of famer
I was at that game versus the Jets at home when they needed to beat us to get into the playoffs.. and at the tailgate I was telling all the Jets fans I love Ryan Fitzpatrick but you're going to get Ryan Fitz tragic at the end of the game
And low and behold
He still was a good quarterback he just didn't have the elite stuff and was too aggressive for his arm strength
honestly I would be curious if the numbers support my theory that he was fitz tragic because he could play within his limitations most of the day to keep it close but didn’t have the arm talent when it was crunch time and everyone was giving 110% and you couldn’t live for another down because you are down 5 with 38 seconds left….
Seemed he was smart enough to know he had to throw it still and see what happened at that point. Even if his arm made it less likely to connect than Josh - still better than running out of bounds short of the sticks,

I literally wrote its a bad look. I agree. I doubt this will affect his ability to be a leader in the locker room. If he wins the job and wins game nobody will care. If he scrubs out of the NFL people will look back at the pre-draft dinners and the speeding tickets and say he was a bust waiting to happen.
Still stunning a player that multiple teams took to dinner as if he was a first round prospect lasted until the 5th round. Has to be more than just his play on the field.
FYI I agree, it's a ludicrous speed but driving through western Ohio and Indiana is as bad as driving though Kansas.
I should be a better person but I do enjoy driving fast.
it’s ultimately a case of “this guy has flags for being self centered and clueless”this isn’t proof he will fail but it’s surely another data point in the wrong column if you are invested in his success.
to do it twice this month is likewise a data point in the does not learn from mistakes column

Call me crazy but I still think that Coleman was drafted to let Shakir walk and now our pass catching resource allocations are all kinds of messed up with a million slot guys, the leagues richest backup tight end and prayers Elijah Moore can get behind a corner occasionally
if you gave beane truth serum I think the hope was Keon, Samuel and a higher end WR addition - see something like Devante, DK
but Keon hasn’t shown to be a real starter, and Samuel struggled and now that high end salary has to split between Palmer and Shakir to fill multiple roles.

Much of the discussion this offseason has been about Keon Coleman and the step forward he’ll need to take to become successful. In fact, Brandon Beane constructed the WR room with the expectation that Coleman would take on a bigger role.
I’ve seen fans with some pretty lofty expectations including comparisons to Tee Higgins or even calling him a future WR1. Personally, I think that bar is too high.
Yes, I do believe Coleman will improve from last season, but I’m expecting more of a modest jump rather than a breakout.
His draft position also matters here. Historically, receivers taken late in the 1st round to early 2nd, like Coleman, tend to have decent, not elite, careers. That includes guys like current Bills WR Elijah Moore.
Tim Graham recently dug into the numbers using TruMedia and looked at all WRs drafted between picks 28 and 35 since the NFL’s 2002 realignment. Here’s what he found (excluding newer guys like Coleman, Worthy, and McConkey who haven’t played enough yet):
Average game: 5 targets, 3 catches, 44 yards, 0.3 TDs
Average season: 13 games, 35 catches, 471 yards, 3 TDs
Average career: 77 games, 203 catches, 2,691 yards, 15 TDs
The top careers in that group belong to Jabar Gaffney, Kenny Britt, Hakeem Nicks, Tee Higgins, and Michael Pittman. Even former Bills darling Kelvin Benjamin ranks in the top 10 for receptions and yards — meaning his career was actually above average for that draft slot.
So when you look at it, Coleman’s 2024 season already puts him close to the average for WRs taken in that range:
29 receptions, 556 yards, 4 TDs
There’s definitely room for growth but expecting him to become a dominant WR1 or a high level WR might be unrealistic.
That said, I’m optimistic we’ll see some improvement. Personally, I’m projecting:
2025 prediction: 38 receptions, 625 yards, 3 TDs
What about you? What are your expectations for Coleman this season?
seems like an odd range of picks/years without context -

I think it's fair to question whether Coleman will take a step in Year 2 or Kincaid in Year 3.
But to declare the idea that they could an unreal "dream", especially Coleman after a single season, is a little much. We've seen a number of players on this team take steps or bounds forward unexpectedly.
It's a little early (again, especially in Coleman's case) to be telling people they're dreaming when it comes to them taking a leap forward.
Some players come out of the gate swinging. Some are late bloomers that take a couple years of development before the game slows down for them. Declaring a Round 1 pick is definitively who they are after 2 seasons and especially after their Rookie year is foolish.
ironically, I think you have it backwards. Coleman is younger but has a more measurable physical ceiling which is going to make what we need from him very hard to accomplish.
Dalton on the other hand is at a position that often takes longer to master AND for which he has high end physical traits.
it’s going to be tough to push chips in on either til we see it but dalton seems incredibly more likely to become that guy

Addressing the Oline.
The Bengals seriously addressed WR, and they have missed the playoffs in 3 of the last 5 years with Joe Burrow at QB. He’s not chopped liver. The Bills addressed the OLine, and we are regulars in the playoffs and a top Super Bowl favorite. We didn’t win the SB (yet), but we were in the playoffs, while the Bengals sat at home.
Some people want to whine so badly about our GM and HC they lose sight of reality. The Bengals are doing better is not a hill I’d want to die on.
meh. Both are frustrating.
I’m not loving a debate between whether it was better to watch Phillip Rivers or Donovan Mcnabb? Just spitballing two good QBs without rings from 20 years ago
I think I’d be ok tanking a few seasons in exchange for an appearance. 12-5 and Super Bowl run followed by 5-12 or two 11-6 seasons losing in the divisional? I think probably give me the first

I mean, it's clearly some type of drug based on the fact he's not saying it was something else and he IS saying he isn't talking about it. I guess I'm just surprised at how lax the league policy is now about stuff like that. I mean sure, I can't prove exactly what drug it is, but again it's naive to think it wasn't drugs on any level based on the fact he's not clarifying that it's not and he's saying he isn't going to talk about it. In terms of what do I want to happen? Well, they're a rival so of course I want a suspension but it's clear that's not going to happen. It's just crazy to me.
I think the nfl would be hard pressed to cost him millions under the reasoning “must have been illegal if he doesn’t want to talk to reporters about it” even if we all have the very reasonable assumption of what it is-

I think Kenneth Davis was a more complete RB than Ray Davis is. Ray is a good change of pace back with more power than Cook. But I find it ridiculous to want Davis to start over Cook. Or that we'd be find without Cook bc we have Davis.
He's a completely different RB. He's a 4.55, 3.9 yard average guy - who's got average vision and runs kind of tight. Ray Davis was not brought in to be James Cook's heir apparent. He was brought in to replace Nyheim Hines' roster spot and the role that Zack Moss had before him.
If/when James Cook leaves Buffalo, his true replacement will come in the 2026 Draft and will be a similar style RB with speed and elusiveness.
the thing is we would be fine without cook because we have Josh….
But whether that means we are optimized for a Super Bowl run… maybe?

There are no safeties available who would be a definite upgrade over our starters.
Cant say that about Jaire who would walk into a starting spot across Benford
Sub packages. You’d see all 4 of Hairston, Benford, Alexander and Johnson on occasion.
and you could also argue that Hairston is better off in nickel and dime packages as he gets his play strength up
also none of the 4 are iron men -

Shopping. Go to stores website. Add to cart. Proceed to checkout. Put all your information in and place order. Stuff arrives on your door step a week or so later.
or the same afternoon.
The economics of Home Depot doing free same day delivery for like $5-10 items really gets me.

I agree and disagree.
If I say they aren't tough anymore it's all relative to what these guys used to do. I believe they don't play as tough as they used to play but also play a whole lot smarter. The hits they don't take now prevent them from long term injury. They training they do now is vastly different. Plyometrics, mobility, and versatility matter more than the shear power that was preached just 20 years ago.
In fact, I bet if you took the average body fat and weight - both are down since 1995 I'd bet. These athletes today are in better shape and more finely tuned than ever before.
Hopefully their quality of life improves because of it.
yea I ride the fence on this…obviously a fan and often advocate for preserving the game… but also the reality is it’s quite rough on the body and we normalize some extreme things to protect the game.
especially in recent years I’ve fallen under them being incredibly well paid even at minimums and grown men can make grown decisions…. But some of these are certainly grown up choices they have to make in risking health for money.

well if it was you…It seems a lil more than just a sore knee-
I literally couldn’t walk. After a game on Sunday, I wouldn’t be able to walk on my own, under my own power, until Wednesday, Thursday. So I was only able to play under the pain meds. I couldn’t put any pressure on my knee, so it was like, I can’t keep doing that to myself.”
