Wayne Cubed

At 19, I'd probably pass. He has some interesting qualities but is way to light/thin and doesn't do anything extremely well. He's a big risk and I think there will be better players to choose from at 19.

No way this happens but this was with "With the First Pick" big board. 19: R1P19 DT A'SHAWN ROBINSON ALABAMA 49: R2P18 OLB JAYLON SMITH NOTRE DAME 80: R3P17 LB DARRON LEE OHIO STATE 118: R4P19 DE TYRIQ MCCORD MIAMI 140: R4P41 S TYVIS POWELL OHIO STATE 157: R5P17 DT JAVON HARGRAVE SOUTH CAROLINA STATE 193: R6P17 WR ROGER LEWIS BOWLING GREEN 219: R6P43 QB KEVIN HOGAN STANFORD

And those owners are correct, Buffalo hasn't maximized their ticket revenue. Look, obviously they won't generate as much as the NYs and Dallas's of the world but when you have a team like Cleveland, who has been just as bad as Buffalo, generating more money in ticket revenue, the other oweners, with shared revenue, have a right to complain.

Cleveland has been had 7 losing seasons and they were horrible in 2015... Yet they've generated more ticket revenue than Buffalo in 2015. How's that possible?

Line the pockets? I don't get this line of thinking. The NFL is a business, no? It's purpose is to generate money, no? These billionaires aren't running this league out of the goodness of their collective hearts. Some of them, <cough> Pegula<cough>, have sunk a great deal of wealth into this business. Are they not entitled to earn money back from it?

And to expand on that a bit, to get into the next level of season ticket charges, you are talking about another $100. Buffalo cheapest season ticket $260. Detroit, small market and fairly new stadium, cheapest season ticket $350.

League revenue, not team revenue. Teams still have to generate their own revenue to cover costs, it's not all covered under shared revenue.

Personal debt, like he just spent $1.4b, I'm sure he'd like to make some of that back. Not like he took out a loan or something.

A point people seem to also miss. Bills current estimated operating income for 2015 was $44.2m , according to Forbes, before taxes. It won't take too much more raising of the cap to eat into that and Pegula is still trying to pay back his debt from buying the Bills. Compare that to the Giants who's operating income is $105.2m.

Well stated. As far as I'm aware, and that was as of 2014, suites are not part of shared revenue. The only other non-shared revenue exception is Dallas merchandise, somehow Jerry has worked a deal where he gets to keep 100% of that revenue for the Cowboys whereas the rest of the league shares the revenue on merchandise.

Good one. How about these billionaires just contribute their own money, build their own stadiums and then let everyone watch for free? That makes sense.

Which then has to be split 32 ways... And then players/employers need to get paid... they need to pay other bills... It's not like they just pocket all $12b.

Ticket revenue is 60/40. Buffalo keeps 60, team sharing revenue gets 40. Last year Buffalo made roughly $49m in ticket revenue, so they gave the league $19m. Dallas made $96m, they contributed nearly $38m to the pot, so you can see why some owners want them to contribute as much as possible.

So you think Pegula, who is in a business which shares revenue, should tell Mara, who contributes $20m more annually in ticket revenue, to blow him? Do I think Buffalo can make as much in ticket revenue as NY? No obviously not, but I understand owners who contribute more than other owners wanting those owners to maximize their contribution. This is a business for them.

Why is this a surprise? Is Mara alone? No, probably not. If you look at gate receipts for 2015(according to Forbes), Buffalo made $49mm in 2015. The only teams below them in terms of gate receipts were Oakland and St. Louis. Surprise, surprise the 2 teams who tried to move. Let's not forget, ticket revenue is split. Do you think other owners are happy that they are getting less money to go play in Buffalo? Probably not. They want to maximize revenue and believe new stadiums are the way to do it. New stadiums in Detroit and Indy, both small markets, mean they get $5m-$10m more in gate receipts. Do the math, with 40% going into the generic pot of revenue sharing Indy/Detroit are putting $2m-$4m more in each year. And that's just the small market teams, Dallas puts in nearly $20m more. Right or wrong, owners see new stadiums as a path to more money.

The difference is Osweiler was a free agent. You can't compare the situations. I mean you can, if you want, but Osweiler as a free agent can drive up his price by getting teams to bid against each other. Happens every year, a player gets overpaid for.

I think the Bills would want compensation for what he thinks he's worth, as well. So if he thinks he's a 18m a year QB, that's a high 1st round draft pick and then some. Is there a team willing to give that up and pay TT? I don't think there is a team out there willing to commit that to TT based on 1 season.

The Miami Former Bills!

And then you work out a long term deal. Why is that hard to understand? Players want long term security and guaranteed money. If TT gets franchised that means he's worth that and the Bills will figure out a way to sign him. Teams very very rarely let Franchise-type QBs walk. Sure, agents work the media and make it seem like it could happen but it rarely does. As to your comment about signing him for less money, you do realise he could just say say no to whatever the Bills offer, right? And let's say he does sign for a lower amount and comes out and has an absolute all-star season, do you think he will be happy with that deal then?

Except all those 'middling' QBs were FREE AGENTS. A point you seem to be ignoring as to why they were 'cashing in'. They got paid because they had the opportunity to get paid. They didn't hold out mid contract because other QBs were getting paid more. And my favourite bit is you think he would just walk away. Cousins was still playing on his ridiculously cheap rookie deal this past year. The Redskins franchised him when they couldn't come to a deal. What did he do? He came in 24 hours later and signed his franchise tag not even bothering to explore other teams. The reality is an extension deal isn't going to get done. The Bills can't afford it this season. IF Tyrod has another good season, he will get paid or franchised by the Bills. It's simple really.

Agents are going to agent.

I'd say more Djent or Progressive. It's pretty straight forward 4/4 time signature. Mathcore is more about the time changes, going from like 4/4 to 6/8 then to 3/4 or something like that and then throwing in key changes and different cord progressions. Converge, Dillinger Escape Plan and The Number 12 Looks Like You are really the pioneers. Converge is more on the Hardcore side but still Mathcore. It's certainly not for everyone.

Adam Caplan ‏@caplannfl #Lions and former #Jets WR Jeremy Kerley have agreed to terms on a contract, per source. Not signing with the Bills then.

Goff to the Giants? So odd.

Just to settle this, Gilmore gave up 3 catches to Robinson for 50 yards and a TD. Darby gave up the deep pass to Robinson for 48 yards. Source: I just rewatched it.
