After the Williams deal it was just a matter of time before this got done. 12 mil AAV with 30 guaranteed is fair to both parties. Cook may not be valued that high by other teams but as important as he is to our offense, an extra million a year is peanuts considering how much the cap goes up every year.

How can this be any team other than Miami? I don’t care if they are 2-16, I hate that team more than I ever hated Brady (who owned us) because they are the anti-Buffalo. South Beach, warm weather, bling, SOFT PLAYERS, and a completely delusional fan base who doesn’t bother to show up to their games. Hard Rock putting AFC East Champs on their hotel before the game was even played. There was nothing better for a regular season than being 3 games down with 6 to play and then ripping their pathetic hearts out in Miami to win the Divison. HAHAHA Fk Miami! As for KC, we just get out coached and out played every time in the playoffs. That’s not on them, it’s on us so hard to be pissed at them. Yeah, they get every call their way but we’ve been fighting that battle against almost every team for 2 decades so we know that going in. I blame McD’s defense first but the reality is, Josh has had opportunities to win 2 KC games in the 4th quarter and didn’t get it done. Yeah, Diggs and Kincaid dropped balls but there were plenty of plays before that that could have been run better. I do think he got screwed on spots last season though.

Tasker kinda sucks but I don’t care, I love that guy. For all he did for us he can mash marbles in his mouth as much as they will let him, all the more power to him. Kinda like when we first signed Tre back and everyone was like “He’s WASHED” and I said I don’t give a sht if the man is on one leg I’d make a roster spot for him. Not the smartest way to field a team but I like being able to root for guys who I love and think represent Buffalo. Just so happens Tre isn’t washed and will be a solid #2 until Hairston is ready. Steve can smoke stogies and screw up analysis for the next 10 years, I don’t care.

It’s just one pre season game so my pronouncement may have been a little premature I based that on the horrendous angle he took on the Giants receiver who had huge YAC because Hamlin took the wrong angle and then got blown by. When Dane Jackson got torched on the TD, Damar looked like he had cement in his shoes as he jogged to the sideline watching that sweet TD toss by Dart. IDK what his responsibility was on that play but he wasn’t close to providing help. He did have some good run fits though

I only look at individuals during pre season. I don’t care about the score. 1) James is getting paid 2) Walker is the real deal and will get significant playing time this season 3) Tre White was making business decisions out there 4) Tauron Johnson was not (dumb) 5) Shavers made the team 6) Jackson is a project, I’m glad he made that stupid Offside in the pre season 7) Sanders had some plays, showed some potential 8-Bosa is a beast still if he can stay healthy 9) I love the way Frank Gore Jr runs the football 10) Davidson didn’t help himself 11) Buffalo Joe is backup MLB. He’s everything McD loves in an undersized LB 12) Mitch / White doesn’t matter. If Josh is out for any length of time we are done 13) Ty Johnson with the 3rd team outplayed Davis with the 1st 14) Damar Hamlin is horrible, he’s slower than last year if thats even possible. He should not be on the team

I’d offer Cook a touch above the Williams deal and if he balks, run him into the ground this year. All the leverage is with Beane and the Bills. If Cook holds out, he loses money and doesn’t show what he can do on the field again. If he wants to risk playing this year without an extension then give him 75% of the snaps. If he balls out, good for him. We always hav the franchise tag but I doubt Beane would ever use it on a RB because of the hard cap implications.

Cook is going to sign. The Williams contract just set the market for non-Henry/Barkley/Early CMC running back contracts. It’s 11 mil/yr AAV. I’d guess Beane will accept a little more than that to get the deal signed and continue to send the message that Buffalo drafts and retains it’s own (unless you suck like Edmunds, ha!). It won’t be more than 12 mil/yr.

Cook will sign for an 11.5-12 mil/yr AAV for 3 years. This is all posturing

Tua is a good dude and a good QB. He’s not a very good or great QB. He does not elevate the play of those around him which great QB’s (Josh, Mahomes) do. It’s well known what his limitations are - off script plays, throwing deep outside the numbers, so good teams take away his first read and clog the middle. It’s not that complicated, and a lot of teams don’t have the talent to do that. If McDaniel stuck to the run a lot more and Miami invested in their O-line instead of paying bajillions to wide outs and washed up CBs they’d be a better team. McDaniel can’t help himself with the play calling and their GM is an outright disaster and must have pics of Roth with a goat because there is no reason for him to still be employed.

I think they will extend Torrance before McGoven because he’s younger, a draft pick, and on a skyrocketing projectory. Unless McGovern is willing to give a team discount which he’s been fairly vocal about not being interested in.

Parsons isn’t coming. This is how Dallas players have to negotiate with Jerry. Cook will be signed within the week. I’d guess 12-13 AAV Torrance will be extended, they will try with McGovern, Edwards will walk at the end of the year. We have too many up and coming O-lineman on good contracts to extend Edwards.

Eh, you have to have your hands on the leg to feel the ACL (or lack there of) so you can’t tell from the video. That didn’t seem like excessive laxity by the inaccurate eye ball test. If they thought there was any question of an ACL injury I have to believe they’d have gotten the cart out. I’m not too concerned about al these injuries. Let’s see when it gets closer to opening day. McD tends to be very conservative especially early in camp. These guys are all acclimating, he’s not going to push anyone and possibly worsen an injury, especially roster safe guys.

I think this is the first summer in 3 that Tre wasn‘t rehabbing some injury. That’s a big deal especially as players get older. Tre White Goalie Academy is back!

You know how this is going to go. Tre is going to start, and at some point Max will take over after he’s “earned it” according to the McD criteria. Will that be by the end of camp? Who knows. We were still going to need a cost controlled, long term solution at CB2 so I still think Max was the correct pick.

Yawn. Wake me up after the 3rd regular season game and then we can start drawing some conclusions. 3 days of camp without pads and people are drawing conclusions. Hilarious. The only thing you can take from this so far is 1) Josh will probably start at QB 2) Bishop is a starting safety, it’s his job to lose and 3) They are going to make Max earn the #2 CB spot. Shocker. (I love that Tre is looking good so far. Love that man)
