Bleeding Bills Blue

OOOO stats! what do they know?!

Who would you rather have? Woods - Goodwin - Hunter - Powell or Jones - Boldin - Matthews - Holmes/Streater/Brown

Just roll with Tyrod again...

Comp picks for 2019

I think that was 2 years ago?

Until he gets hurt... Or he didn't want to play here anymore because he wants to go somewhere with a stud QB so he can get his targets, or he wanted way too much money. Who knows

Well they got there by making frugal moves at times. Building through the draft and not mis-casting players a la rex.

So when chandler jones gets traded coming off an excellent season, for a 2nd round pick - its a smart plan.

Just run the ball more!

also dont have to hear about sammys foot anymore

Hes on the last year of a deal, and fills the gap in the lineup for now.

When the patriots do it they're geniuses!

I look at it like this - we were probably far apart on contract talks if there was interest at all. That means a franchise tag, or nothing but a comp pick. Comp pick maxes out at the end of the 3rd and we wouldnt get it until 2019. It's maximizing an asset. Gaines was brought in to allow us to do the darby trade - which brings us a 1year replacement in Matthews, plus a player who may be more likely to sign an extension if he succeeds here.

cuz we could get a 2nd round pick from a probably bad team. Ducasse is just going to get cut.

never trade 2 firsts for a non-QB

Not to mention - he can still be on the 53 and not dress for gamedays. That allows him to continue to practice.

They won't stop talking about the guy and he legit hasn't done an interview or tried out for a team in months. They think he's blacklisted because of his protest... no he's blacklisted from media coverage of his protest. When is a media circus around a team a good thing...? I'm sure our new HC would love having to answer 20 questions about why CK isn't playing over Tyrod. Every presser.

He doesn't bring a whirlwind of distraction. I'd rather have RG3... The media circus that he brings is worse for literally everyone else on the team though.

Yeah - we have 3 expiring contracts, and a really solid out for lorax should we want to upgrade the SAM spot. Cutting ragland now would leave us with 2 2017 rookies as the only LBs on the 2018 roster.

He doesn't have to dress on gamedays... but you are jumping the gun here. You don't know what you have in the guy yet to determine making a financially irresponsible decision. Its surprising that they haven't given him a look there.

Probably the worst thing you could do for him. He didn't practice for over a year... he's not going to get better sitting for another year. You end up doubling the cap hit if you cut him, and creating a huge depth issue in 2018. Splitting that cap hit with next year - you'll have 1.5 million less to spend, and 3 free agents in Humber, Hodges, and Brown.

I dunno - I'm waiting for him to not look tenative. Hes going to have to get faster at processing.

Just call it the... the great the poor and the appalling

shots fired! Doesn't give you a good feeling about ragland
