    Yep.  Let's wait for the waiver claim awards before saying he made the team.   Foster will likely get stashed on the PS after other teams' rosters are set...

     

     

    Practice sqyads arent protected. An nfl team can take from another teams PS as long as they aren’t their next opponent.

    His list has only 51 players.  So, I would add an O-lineman that can play multiple positions, and keep Logan Thomas as a 4th TE.

    My rule use of thumb.....

     

    3 QB

    4 RB/FB

    6 WR

    3 TE

    8 OL

    24 offense

     

    8 DL

    6 LB

    9 DB

    23 on defense

     

    K, P, LS

    3 special teamers

     

    50 roster spits

     

    the 3 extra would fill in fir short term injured players or young rookie picks, ir other raw talent you fear won’t get to PS

     

    if AJ injury is a 6 week injury then buffalo likely has a 4th QB on the roster

     

    The other 2 spots

     

    1 on offense between RB, TE, WRm and IL

     

    1 on defense would be between a LB and DB

    To a degree.  But as the signature columnists in the most important section of the paper, they have to be draws unto themselves as well.   No different than the on-air talent at ESPN or guys like Peter King during his SI stint.   Ratings and clicks matter.

     

    IMO, neither Sully or Bucky delivered on that mandate.   These particular buyouts may be driven as much by house cleaning as cost cuts.   I fully expect the BN to replace both guys and look for cost control elsewhere.    These will be very important hires and Dunne and Fairburn would be very good gets IMO...

     

     

     

    I aleays felt columnists...especial sports columnists are supposed to stir the pot and cause controversy and create click bait.

     

    as far as newspapers in thus day...

     

     

     

    eith the internet niw now you don’t have to rely on the newspapers to hear the news.  On top that people don’t understand that people are paid to write.p rpthus fees cgarged.

     

    with something like newspapers you don’t need to pay high salary for beat reporters.

     

    in BN they skew older where many are 15 or more years vets.

     

    i see newspapers becoming in ways like sports teams where only a few get hugh salary and stay around while 80% if the team us churned every 4 or so years.

    Rosen was talked about as probably the best pure pocket quarterback in the draft. He was available for the Bills to grab but they passed. 

    Any options on why exactly we didn't like him?

     

    -Injury concerns?

    -Attitude?

    -Concerns about playing in the cold weather?

    -Was he just overrated in general?

     

    Thoughts?

    After snorting the blow he got from giving up ssooooo much he wrote the wrong name

    Nate Geary said today in WGR two team sources have told him the bills had a deal in place with the colts to get to 3 and the Jets deal with them really hurt.

     

    He also said that's why they traded Tyrod. Not sure if he meant because they knew they were getting to 3 or if the 3rd round pick from Cleveland was a part of the trade package 

     

     

     

     

    Based on draft chart....12+22+cleveland 3rd=3OA.  Buffali probably also added one of their 2nds.

    When you say fill needs - I assume you mean starting players?  That would be a tough thing to accomplish although I certainly understand the meaning of your post.  

     

     

    You regularly get starters from 1st-3rd round.

     

    I have said this before...they trade 2nd 1st down and pick up another 2nd/3rd round pick that is 6 players, sthey pick a qb with one who competes for a job, then with other 5 picks they get 4 starters by mid season.

     

    With teams only have at most 4 years of team control uou don't sit on high picks.

  7.  

    Study also needs to look at other sports and cte io figure out what it takes.

     

    They also need to look at people who didn't at pro or college.

     

    Another factor to remember---the brain can heal from head injuries when a teen. At some point this stops like around 23-25.

     

    I got a bad concussion/head injury my freshman year year of college.  It took over 3 years to fully recover.

    IMO you don't need the combine to determine if they are worth it. Game tape tells the tale.. Any team who draft a player based upon combine numbers could be drafting  a Maybin type of player.

     

    as for the Bills if they have that much faith in a QB to move up you make the move because a franchise QB is THE game changer in this league

     

     

    Nor true...

     

    For QBS you have an equal measuring stick on who can make the throws needed that tape doesn't really measure.

     

    As fir trading up for a qb...utterly dumb.

     

    With the qbs coming out there isn't much difference and am some are slated to be picked 20-40.

     

    Buffali can stand pat, or even trade down from 22 to 27 or 28 and still draft a qb and pick up a late 2nd or early 3rd.

     

    The qb I'd sign as a free agent would be bridgewater
