This is why football is such a fun and popular sport. There are so many totally different ways to play this game. I personally enjoy seeing teams take on entirely different personalities and styles. The Ravens have a way that they want to play football and win games, and it works most of the time with Lamar, judging by W/L record. When you play them it's an entirely different type of game, and that's fun for fans I think. Probably for a lot of players too.

It's simple to me. The Bills hit the jackpot with Beane, Mcdermott, and Allen. They threaded the needle. It's so rare in sports, and it's a reason I would actually be surprised if the Bills don't WIN a Super Bowl or 2 over the next decade. This doesn't happen very often. Look around the NFL. How many teams have a top-notch GM, HC, and QB? New coaches and GM's usually don't work out, as we've seen here with these teams. But it's true all over the league. How many "next big thing" coaches have been fired just in the NFL after a couple of seasons? There is a TON of luck involved in picking the right people for your franchise, and that's OK. Everyone is great, wonderful, well-respected, etc. Few actually pan out. The Sabres have been on the exact other end of that luck. They have squandered so much draft capital it is truly stunning. Couple that with awful coaching and reckless GM's and you have what you see there.

YES! A big DT in the draft would make this a great offseason.

I would have loved a 2 year deal here, just in case he has an insane season In terms of the player, good signing, though!

Bills currently have the best QB in the division, and it's not even close. NE has an all-time great coach, so they could always be dangerous. They finished 7-9 with their entire defense opting out and almost no talent on offense. I wouldn't write them off. NE is now the pre-Josh Allen Bills. Chasing the top team but without a QB to match up.

Love it! I hope it's a 2 year deal at least so Daboll can't take him wherever he goes next offseason!

No, but Sammy is apparently known for having very long, in-depth and "out there" type conversations with whoever is willing to participate (probably mostly listen). There was a long article about it a while back. He's definitely an interesting character! I agree with those who've said that the Ravens seem like a good fit for both sides.

Sammy comes to town, and a meteor lights up the skies of WNY this weekend... I'm not saying that Sammy has some mystical power over space and time, but I'm not not saying it either.

Exactly... It's a nice luxury to have a guy who was talented enough to go #2 overall a few years ago as your backup. For the Bills. that's how far we've come, and it's great!

Terry Pegula loved Trubisky going into that draft. Not saying that had anything to do with it, but I'm sure he's excited to have the guy on the Bills as the 2nd option.

What about Slayton or Bohanna? I admit to knowing almost nothing about college football. I'm just going by how big the draft eligible DTs are! the good news is that this feels realistic (a giant DT in this draft) because Beane and McDermott seem to want a guy like that on the DL, based on their attempts to replace Jordan Phillips and their signing of Star originally, who isn't quite as big but played that role before here. It would be nice to have a guy like that in the system for little $$

LOL, right? But now it's laugh at the Chargers time, which is a lot more fun than remembering that history! I don't feel too bad.. the Chargers don't even have a fanbase in LA.

Solid addition as a backup who can come in and maybe win you a few games if Allen has to miss time, which hopefully will not happen. Plus Mitch gets a SB ring out of the deal. Win-win for all!

Detroit and Cincinnati But as soon as those teams get good, if that happens, things change fast. Look at Cleveland's all-star roster.

My only real rooting interest in the draft is the Bills drafting a giant DT. I'm sure the other picks will be fine and exciting, but I just want a 350+ pound DT out of this draft.

He fumbled the game away for the Saints vs the Bucs in the playoffs this year. That alone makes him a good fit for the Chargers, who enjoy heartbreaking losses.

There's all kinds of creative goofiness you can do with the cap. If the players you sign for big $$ produce then it's no big deal. It's bad contracts for big $$ that kill your cap structure.

Agreed, and it's so much fun to think this way now!

Chicago is central time zone...

Agreed. She's crunched the numbers, and they don't support doing this.

Most likely... Thats the marquee game. Lots of weird games for me this year... Am I actually going to root for Dallas? NE? Or Brady? The NE TB game is the non Bills game I absolutely can't wait to see!

Bucs Bills to open the season. That's why she said she would be a Bills fan.

It's totally crazy, I get it. Timing is just so strange... Just hours before the new league year begins. Who benefits? Not the Texans, that's for sure.

What? So he ends up getting cut and goes to NE in free agency?

I don't mean any disrespect to him, but I completely forgot he was even on the team last year.
