That's weird man. You get a boner when players are traded for players a lot?

I don't think we'll have to pay a QB big money because one that costs big money won't become available. On your other points yes, that's how we are going to attempt to win.

Saints went for it one last time knowing the water would break the dam. They are a complete mess - totally mismanaging the rare opportunity of having a premier QB.

Darn!

I'm with you.

I remember on hard knocks there was a huge emphasis on full backs by Rex. I'm by no means an expert but the NFL has clearly gotten away from using a FB except for short yardage and goal line situations but I see a return to using one coming to Buffalo on 1st and 2nd down.

I'm with the other posters that believe we've already made a "big splash" but that doesn't mean we are done either. I think it's all about TE and OL at this point and if something were to happen with a QB that can't be predicted we'd be interested. No doubt the vision is clear - run the ball, play great defense, expect the QB that wins the job to take care of the ball and let the outstanding weapons we have on offense to make the plays. I think there's such a thing as letting Sammy and Shady dominate vs expecting the QB to do it.

Yeah I'm with you on this. For some reason Chip has completely turned me off with his arrogance, not that I was wild about him, but he was an interesting guy to watch. I'd be utterly frustrated if I was an Eagles fan because every player that perfectly fits his scheme he gets rid of. He's the perfect example of why an organization goes down a slippery slop giving that much personnel power to a coach. I'm as content as I've been since the glory years with our FO and it's relationship with the coaching staff. They appear to be working in harmony.

Just goes to prove how smart Hughes was and how the nervousness of leaving Buffalo made him put pressure on his agent to get it done.

Reports say Browner was told he can shop his value because the Pats don't want to pay his 2mil roster bonus. He's the guy I'd go after.

But put things in relative terms. Doug climbed up to millions of dollars per year and buying million dollar homes. Say you make 50K a year - would you quit your job for an extra 50K in one year? Either way you answer that question it's stupid if you would.

Exactly except I think these agents actually tell the majority of the players what they need to do. I think they recite things like - great players like you have to keep the market up for all the players behind you - just like the players before you did. I know you want to play for the Bills but we must take the emotion out of this and realize this is bigger than you and besides need to pay you what you're worth. Then they tell him things like - the Bills will cut you in a minute Jerry if you hurt your knee so this has to be done. Then lost in the shuffle is a guy that wants to come back that just goes and gets the money. The Bills are in the position of power - they are the ones that by Tuesday will say no we're done and Jerry Hughes will crap when he goes to a team without our line and is never considered a good player again.

Because the Bills offer will expire. He's sweating that his agent gets this deal done with the Bills or he'll be on the Bucs before he can say 3 Mississippi.

And those teams with a QB usually can't afford to add a $10million defensive end. So Hughes knows he has to go to Jax, Oakland, Browns, Titans, Jets, Bucs etc. He should feel sick to his stomach.

Understandably Hughes is under extreme pressure to get his camp to get him signed. He's inches from playing with a terrible defense that can afford him. We're as desirable as it gets for an NFL defensive player.

This front office continues to show time and time again that they know what they're doing.

What it has to do with is the Buffalo Bills might move on in FA without him.

I hate when we think we can salvage a player after one year.

Depending on where he lands I disagree with this. If he goes somewhere that the supporting cast sucks he'll under perform and likely get cut. Happens all the time. If he stays here, performs, he'll likely see the larger portion of a contract.

I want Brooks Reed to replace him. I wanted us to draft him in the worst way.

When you have good players, keep drafting good players, make excellent trades to acquire good players - you lose good players.
