Two tears in a row and no supplimental draft activity - so the NFL can't capitalize on that to grow off season exposure. Teams sign a significant amount of undrafted players and the nfl isn't reaping any financial reward. Coupled with the growing popularity of the draft, the leagues interest in spreading out coverage over additional days, and knowing the need of additional players at camp - it would make sense to expand the number of rounds.

Why would you need to read defenses when you're going to throw to a covered WR?

I think we'll see the amount of rounds expanded in the next 2-3 years.

C'mon man

People buy property all the time and the decision isn't based on immediate return. Often times it beats paying taxes on the liquid and the little you make has a higher return than the interest. Sometimes the tax benefits for being able to write off the acquisition is the motivation. Another reason is the property could be purchased forecasting the neighborhood is headed towards an increase in value.

Maybe I'm missing your meaning but I went back to read the OP's comments again and it seems to me this thread has gone exactly where he wanted. JMO

I don't think you need the full amount in cash to make the purchase, just the necessary amount of worth for the bank to loan the money. I'm not saying every bidding owner would borrow the money but they could. Similar to most of us don't have the liquid money to purchase the house we purchase, but we have the reasonable means to make the payment. I know money will be an important factor but I actually think the trust is looking for more than that. Respectable bid - coupled with their comprehensive plan to keep them in Buffalo - will get you the second tier of consideration for the purchase. Then I believe a more detailed set of questioning will come after and the person the trust feels matches the wishes of the late Ralph Wilson the most will be chosen,

Put a little mud on it and he'll be fine.

I disagree that zero has no value. It's one more than -1.

I believe faces of the franchise and leaders of the team can and often are different people.

I wouldn't call it "shove" because it was indicated Kolb was struggling to beat out Manuel, ever how short the time was.

I disagree, I don't think it's smart to sign him now. He's got to prove he's straight for a reasonable amount of time.

It should be - I'm going to have pizza for dinner.

Is the foundation crumbling or crumbled?

I'm planning on going to the Panthers game in Carolina.

Exactly. Obviously you know it is and are nicely saying the idea of one guy going down ruins the season is nuts. The only player who can potentially crash the season is the QB (S).

What the...? He starts starting training camp.

Not if you attach value in not having to carry your personal one to each game.

So not ready to joke about the Kiko injury.

That's all?

Just because Pegula can afford any bidding war doesn't mean he'll go beyond what's reasonable. I also don't think you need 20-30 billion in order to create that situation for Pegula. That's what fans are most concerned about, will someone so grossly over bid beyond economic sense for a Buffalo market.
