The kid is in Boston with HARPOON brewery, and drinking bud light (fixed that for ya - although I do enjoy a Sam Summer or Rebel Rouser IPA now and again)

You could pretty much wipe out year 1 impact - might have him healthy and ready to play by November, but he would need to get in "game shape"....but that said, I just might!! Haha There is a difference between "dropping out of the first" and dropping all the way down to 50 though....and I'm not interested in a trade up

Then we would still be above them.....

This! For the first year in a while, rookies will have a hard time making this team let alone being an immediate contributor. With that said, a guy like shaq could contribute in a big way right away. A guard/OT would be a nice fit but realistically could they crack the starting five? Not that our five is all world, but we have seen rookie linemen struggle not just here but around the league (there are certainly exceptions). I hope for an impact player at 50 - but anyway you slice it we are in the best position roster wise than we have been in a longgggggggg time

Is Henderson a better fit for LT instead of RT? Either way, if he's lined up at one of the spots, I can imagine there will be LOTS of chips to the edge rushers outside shoulder to allow for Henderson to better get his hands on the defender, something that he struggled with towards the end of last year (guys were giving double moves, and getting around him to the outside) The whole o-line is still a work in progress (the whole point of what Whaley was saying) - and we won't know what the five is until the start of camp That said, I'm expecting a better performance out of the group based on the new coaching staff compared to the old staff alone And lastly: enough of everyone speculating we could see Mario restructure this offseason to make way to a Mathis/Evans trade....we reeaaallllyyyyy need that restructure to happen next year so we can avoid cap nightmare/signing all of our FAs

thinking of picking up a new habit....smoking is intriguing... someone talk me into it!

THIS, time a million you dont bite the hand that feeds you (thats why no real change occurs in Washington, money trumps politics/money drives politics)

and only about 5-7 of them worth signing will take money....one of which, Dareus, is already coutning 8 million against the cap this year, so his contract will probably require about 5 million more in salary for the next season....its not unfathomable... Glenn, if he has a great year, will command top dollar...same goes for Gilmore...we have the room for both (especially with Mario restructure next offseason)... And the icing on the cake is, the cap continues to rise....we have the money, we will keep our players

He's referring to ESPN

im glad hes not going to the Pats

Bummer - I'm already in Saratoga, made the trip just for this meet up....bet you feel bad now gugny

He may also be both of those things but he is certainly one of the Okayiest I've seen as well

Maybe not the okayiest - but belongs in the discussion - Kerry Collins

Come on penguins - lose this freaking game tonight! You can do it....you can do it.....

how has no one responded to this post, hahaha perfect

didnt you know Richie bullied everyone in Miami, thats probably why Clay is hesitant to sign but for realz, Its pro sports, 90 percent about the money, 10 percent about playing where you want/with who you want (at least on first big contracts...after a player gets paid they are more willing to "take less for the right situation"... now if that difference is an average of 7 million here, and 8 million average in Cleveland...would seem like a no brainer for Clay to bring his talents to Orchard Park

channel 4? that bum squad? why would you watch anything other than channel 2 (obviously just for fat Kevin O'Connell or whatever that pudgy bastard weathermans name is)

I have been anti-clay on here for the past few days, and quite vocal about it (to the point of annoying others im sure) with that said, im kind of coming around on him....my biggest points were that, as stated by the OP (although I have watched him quite a bit - Clay, not the OP, thats creepy), he does not overwhelm with size, speed or stats...but he really does seem to do a lot of things very well, and im starting to think could do things even better in a better offense The biggest draw, and why im starting to change my view on signing on him, is what he brings to our potential offense. When he is on the field we can be more successful at hiding what we want to do in both the run and the pass game, he can move from the backfield to the line and vice versa, he can hit the flats, go routes, stay in pass pro and then even slide underneath, screen passes, as well as be a traditional TE....basically, he can bring an element that we have not had as an offense in a long time AND a weapon that Roman has proven he can effectively succeed with I kind of think I want him now?

he can grumble all he wants (even though I dont think he will, hes been paid his money up front), we own him until after 2019, and I dont expect them to redo the contract 2-3 years from now....so yes, we did really save money

again, for THIS instance, its a smart move...this is a once in a lifetime type instance (for this coach/franchise in this exact time and place) and keeping Fred does nothing to stop the coaches/gm from what they want for the season Freds little 3 million will not stop us from pursuing any FA at any positions it simply keeps a good thing going for the business

its all about timing....and its a great decision to keep fred RIGHT NOW this is Pegulas first offseason, and they are making waves (intelligent waves) The fans are excited, why ruin that by letting go probably the most fan favorite player in the past 10 years? This is not necessarily indicative of a meddling owner who should leave football to the football people....its a businessman realizing when to keep a good thing going as its best for the business

when your coach is a moron, yes, he routinely stashed better players on the bench for unknown reasons

Congrats on the job! Jobs are jobs man, they pay the bills....can still enjoy other things about the dream job in your free time! Cheers!

If we shut down zemgus and Ennis Is out for any period of time, we can pretty much lock up last place....so, let's shut them both down!!! There goes any offense
