Bernard makes more sense at Strong Safety, but again what O said before, that’s a process. Benford, I doubt it.

Thanks for inserting common sense. Just because there are rare examples like Ronnie Lott who converted from CB to Safety, and a different NFL back at that time doesn’t mean a CB can convert to Safety. It’s a completely different role. I’m not saying Benford can’t learn over time, but it’s a process. The most I’m willing to say is we’ll see.

It’s not the NFL’s responsibility to assess the tax implications in those states. Besides, the game checks are taxed in the state they play in so when the Bills play in FL or TX, there is no state tax. It would be impossible to manage. In addition, I work in medical sales. Now it’s not NFL$, but it’s for many of us multiple six figures. I’ve never worked for a company that adjusts for sales people and mgrs that reside in NYC, Boston, and San Fran. No company cares in my industry. The bottom line is these players need to know how to wisely invest so they have $ for the rest of their lives. More don’t than do and why they are broke 10 years after finishing their football career. It’s also silly they don’t take their off season to finish their degrees as now they can almost always do on line. On line has exploded in colleges since COVID.

Exactly! There is no way they can accurately predict the avg. BAC for each stadium. This is a nonsense article. Is it possible our folks were pretty happy? Sure, but did they just poll certain lots where people tend to down a bit? Probably.

This is a play for Lamar to get out of Baltimore. I bet if he gets to go where he wants he’ll accept a more reasonable offer. Still in the 40’s per year, but not all guaranteed. He’s an idiot if he thinks he can strong arm any owner into that one. He’s from South FL, so how desperate is Ross to get him and drop Tia before they commit to Tua. Where they don’t have tons of cap but it is SW FL is Tampa. Brady’s gone.

78, the owners don’t care. It’s all about profit, and only profit. I understand working for a large corporation in the past.

That will never happen. All of the other three major sports employs a great deal less players and although they have guaranteed contracts, it’s not a 53 or should I say a 69 man roster including PS. These owners love this cap as it’s a hard edit, and a hard cap. There are certainly manipulations in Terms of cash over cap, and converting roster to signing bonuses. The owners don’t want exemptions as that is less profit, and they expend a ton to buy a franchise. They get incredible tax exemptions, but they also expend a great deal of cash.

Andrew Brandt is one of my favorites in terms of the business of the NFL. He used to have a weekly stint with Ross Tucker each Wednesday morning at around 6:30 am EST. He was always so informative evaluating and educating the NFLR audience on these topics. He’s the farthest from the hot take uneducated POV. An attorney and former business guy for the Packers forever and now with so many outlets, he’s like EF Hutton. When he talks, I listen. Thanks OP for sharing.

Round, I’ve been banging this drum for a bit once I heard the Fish were letting him walk. Yes, he’s not a blocker. We don’t need a blocker, we need a weapon. Grab him for contested catches and we have our 12 personnel. We have our 21 with Cook and Hines. We can get our top 11 personnel by drafting a speedy WR in the 1st round, then 2 Guards. Take the first 3 rds. and later maybe a safety. For the love of God no more CB’s, DE’s, or RB’s.

That I can buy. We’ll written.

We’ll agree to disagree as there are some who either don’t understand nor possibly with McDermott’s defensive philosophy, and per DVOA we’ve had to #1 defense for awhile. Part of that’s is finding depth and developing of which McBrane has done both. Offensively he did the best he could to keep improving the line, and hit on Dawkins, Morse and I believe in Brown. His back and neck injuries kept him from year 1 to year 2 when it’s critical for a lineman. Most linemen grow over the first three years. Knox was developed over three years, Diggs was the equivalent of a 1st RD pick who was not the same in MN, and was a 5th RD pick. Single tart was developed to be an effective RB, but took time. Cook showed signs in the 2nd half of a budding, explosive RB, and with motor probably testing the market Hines increasing his role in 23. Does he need to do more with less or restructuring a number of contracts to signing bonuses to extend who we want like for them Tremaine as they believe in him. Given in 17 Whaley was fired the day after the draft and Beane magically was immediately hired, if you don’t think he and McD had a plan on the DL, that had nothing to do with Whaley. They just can’t ever acknowledge it as breaks league rules. The man was just GM of the year voted on by his peers. I’ll take their opinion over fans anyway if the week. It’s not like the pro bowl popularity contest or top 100.

There is always a way to manage the cap if you have the will. The cap is exploding not necessarily this year but will catch up next year to pre Covid expectations. We’re up to $226 mil which is behind the expected increases. Next year there has been predictions with the new tv and Amazon contracts as well as European $ up to $256 mil., then will hit $300 mil in the coming years. The new CBA coming at the end of the decade will score us whether you like it or not an 18th game. The point is Allen restructuring salary to signing bonus would get us healthily under the cap. If they go in on Diggs and Dawkins, we’d be fine and could get one free agent of note. If the talent is there I can see a world where Beane moves up and we go from 6 draft pics to 4. Im not saying he will, but he can do it if he believes he has the talent in hand. We definitely need a talented WR and two Guards. It’s also a deep TE class. The crappy thing is not having Avon for probably 2/3 of the active season maybe making it back by November. My suggestion to newer guys on the board, not the Wiley veteran TBDers, to use Jimmy Johnson or other draft value charts and add up the points about suggestions moving up or down. im not there yet as I’d like to see what happens in FA. Once we get past the first wave, we’ll have a better idea of options Beane has for the draft. This narrative of Beane being a poor drafter is not true. It’s the business season now and I’ll drag up the Polian comments as it’s still salient to this conversation. Most people on this board who are old enough to remember Polians drafts here and Carolina and Indy knows he was a master at the craft. Hes said year after year on NFLR late hits on Wed nights his lifetime hit rate for drafting is 57%. 57%! Put that in context when thinking of Beane. If you look at Ron Wolf along with Polian, both wearing Gold Jackets, I might add, and Beane just won two years ago GM of the year. Given his peers clearly voted him as the best GM in that year, he’s not a poor drafter.

We need a better interior line, more dependable weapons than just Diggs. We have our pass catching speed RB’s so check. We have a number one WR and TE, check. Davis is an ok 3rd WR, but he needs to spend the entire off season developing his route tree with Allen and Palmer. Palmer can do more than just coach QB’s. They need someone to throw to and Davis needs the development. Now 2 Guards, and #2 WR with a. High draft pick and lastly, convert a number of salary to signing bonus and pick up Gesecki. I know he doesn’t block, but we want weapons. Make this offense undefendable and over power and crush you’re opponents. Pull a line from this guy. Honestly, I was just trying to weave this classic line. Gotta love a little Conan crushing enemies lines on a Sunday morning.

Yolo, take all the time you need. Ive been sick and tired of the non stop negativity. It’s as if people didn’t realize we were 13-3. ######ed. go slow my friend. Be steady.

Personally I’ll wish Howard continues on a one hour contract a week if Howard Picks the Bills on Tuesday mornings. That would be fun. he’s a great guy and a staple. The criticism needs to be tabled, as he was good for Buffalo and made me want to listen to WGR 30 years after leaving my beloved home on South Park avenue.

When you think of Dobler, also think of Deacon Jones. He single handedly changed the rules as he was famous for the ear slap to the ear hole. Supposedly before they recorded sacks some group counted 36 sacks in 14 games. He just was placed as tough, not cheap.

AJ, I get one a month. Ok I’ve hit my limit for February. My concern is there a top flight WR in the draft. I hope so as we can’t afford a FA.

It’s rare I have time after 5 am to chat on a weekday, but I’m sitting waiting for a doc so I couldn’t agree more Gesecki is the TE erosion of Hyde and Poyer where they weren’t used properly by their former teams. They shined here. If they convert Diggs and Allen good portion of their salary to signing bonus we should not only be under the cap, but should be able to afford a TE. They don’t get paid nearly what a top WR would get paid. These two are just big and fast WR’s.

It’s semantics. Suggs doesn’t turn 30 in til November 13th so basically 2023 is still a 29 yr old. I’ll agree with you we need the best receiver we can get in the draft and if he’s worth it even trading up. 2-4th rds should be 2 Guards and a Safety. You can get very good Guards in the 2nd and 3rd rds. I would also place a bid on Gesecki for the 1B TE. We’ll have our 2 pass catching RB’s in Hines and Cook, 2 pass catching TE’s in Knox and Gesecki, drafting a top flight WR, 2 Guards and a Safety. This is a dynamic offense with a solid line as Dawkins, Morse are solid, Bates and Boettger are fine for depth along with Bates, and I still believe in Brown. He was injured all off season and linemen take 2-3 years to develop. His back issues sidelined him all off season.

You go good times. I was at a wing sports bar through the 1st quarter. Had a ball joking with a couple of friends. It was fun especially as my sister flew down for a week and brought me a 4 pack of MT Beef and Cheese burritos. I unapologetically ate all four of them as the only thing I ate yesterday.

you actually watch the halftime show. That’s the bathroom eat a whatever time and let your significant other talk to you for a half an hour. I’ve conditioned mine to talk in commercials only. I could care less about halftime. Just don’t talk during plays. My sons know th drill and are the same now. They shh me until the huddle. I actually love it as they are NFL truists. Both were excellent football players younger.

You are that bud. The game has fun so far.

well we would reset the franchise tag for RB with our is paid $43 mil per. You’re such a widest new era. I love it. Have fun watching the big one bud.

So I waited to respond to these threads as I was waiting for the final injury report. Pretty much almost all of the players made it back to practice except for Covey is still LP meaning questionable. I’ll guess the lines of the Eagles are too much as dynamic as Mahomes can be, and it will be…. Eagles 31 Chiefs 28 It will be a dynamic game where there will be lead changes and goes to the wire. This is going to be one heck of a game. It should be fun.

Hatched or spawned. 😇
