  1. My concern is cutting Medicare by $473B and Medicaid over $1T over 10 years. Eliminating the estate tax for upper rich in 6 years I think. Present estate tax is $0 for under $4.9M What this will do to the $20T national debt when Trump said that will be paid off in 8 years is a sad joke.
  2. With Taylor looks like $21M cap space in 2018 + yearly raise . I would guess that includes roll over from 2017 , not sure. http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/cap/2018/ List of Bills free agents in 2018 + sign rookie pool http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/buffalo-bills/
  3. World Series magic spotlights NFL's lost luster And then there's football. Concussions. Protests. Obnoxious owners. I don't know about you, but that's what has me changing the channel. http://www.cnn.com/2017/11/01/opinions/baseball-world-series-over-football-downey-opinion/index.html
  4. I do not think he will ever be signed again in the NFL Papa John Loses Dough: Pizza Chain Founder Loses $70 Million In Hours, Blames NFL Schnatter blames part of the downturn on the National Football League, which has faced turbulence amid widespread national anthem protests in the past year. “The NFL has hurt us by not resolving the current debacle,” https://www.forbes.com/sites/noahkirsch/2017/11/01/papa-johns-founder-net-worth-falls-70-million-in-hours-blames-nfl-protests/#7273c7f77ffb
  5. Gil Brandt ✔@Gil_Brandt Keep hearing good things about 2 QB prospects on rise: @SpiderFootball's Kyle Lauletta (6-3, 206) & @WKUFootball's Mike White (6-4, 227) 3:29 PM - Oct 24, 2017 I’d like to say that I first heard about Kyle Lauletta from my good friend, Will Stevenson (twitter handle is @DraftMarvel) back around March. If you are on Twitter and are interested in draft talk, especially when it pertains to QBs, he’s a must follow https://www.behindthesteelcurtain.com/pittsburgh-steelers-nfl-features-news-blog-long-form/2017/10/28/16552726/2018-nfl-draft-prospect-potential-senior-qb-riser-kyle-lauletta-ben-roethlisberger-replacement-nfl Another tread by The Rev.Mattb74 ESQ., thanks for a good article
  6. Patriots-49ers: Brian Hoyer originally part of Jimmy Garoppolo trade, but yanked because of compensatory draft picks The 49ers are not projected to receive any compensatory draft picks, while the Patriots are scheduled to receive two fourth round picks and a seventh round pick. Hoyer counts as a fifth round pick on the compensatory draft pick cancellation chart on OverTheCap.com, but if a player is released before a certain point in the year they do not count in the compensatory math. https://www.patspulpit.com/2017/10/30/16579320/patriots-49ers-brian-hoyer-originally-part-jimmy-garoppolo-trade-but-yanked-compensatory-draft-picks Ernie Adams I would bet
  7. I consider Kelvin more of a TE for his speed. I hope the Bills can sign him and Jordan Matthews long term.
  8. Hope the team gives them decent compensation for these temp signings and travel expense.
  9. follow up , that's a relief Water drawn from wells at a hazardous waste site in hurricane-hit Puerto Rico meets federal drinking water standards and is fit for consumption, the US Environmental Protection Agency said in a news release on Tuesday. The water being pulled from wells at the Dorado Groundwater Contamination Site, which is part of the Superfund program for hazardous waste cleanup, meets federal drinking water standards for certain industrial chemicals, as well as for bacteria, Elias Rodriguez, an EPA spokesman, told CNN. The water is "OK to consume based on the analysis that we've done," Rodriguez said. http://www.cnn.com/2017/10/31/health/puerto-rico-water-epa-superfund-test-results/index.html
  10. McCarron will be a RFA after this season Right of first-refusal only: $1.8 million 2nd-round pick plus ROFR: $2.7 million 1st-round pick plus ROFR: $3.9 million Teams must issue these tenders to any of their RFA players prior to 4:00 PM Eastern Time on March 9th (2017) in order to maintain their RFA rights https://www.acmepackingcompany.com/2017/3/7/14841572/2017-restricted-free-agent-tender-values-released-packers-jayrone-elliott-jordan-tripp Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer tweeted that the Browns sent a signed trade document to the Bengals to sign and send to the league, confirming the trade. The Bengals sent in the wrong document, one signed only by them. The league needed both signatures to approve the trade, and the deadline passed before they got both. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/10/31/report-bengals-botched-a-j-mccarron-trade-at-deadline/
  11. If I remember Kelvin was over weight the start of the season. For a 3rd rd pick is worth a gamble to motivate as more of a TE type.
  12. #28 , 1st rd , speed of a good TE , I love it
  13. Why in the world would the Panthers trade Kelvin?
  14. I love the Panthers , thank you , thank you. What a great receiver after losing Sammy. Hope we can sign him long term.
  15. If Taylor continues to improve I would still draft a QB high but not trade up for one.
  16. I would prefer Thursday Night games follow both teams bye week. Give players a chance to heal and have two long breaks in a row.
  17. NFL players seek meeting with Goodell, McNair, Kaepernick The Washington Post reported Saturday that a panel called the Players Coalition has requested a meeting Monday in Philadelphia http://www.foxnews.com/sports/2017/10/29/nfl-players-seek-meeting-with-goodell-mcnair-kaepernick.html

  19. The details of the Republican tax plan will be unveiled on Wednesday (Nov 1) "There’s only (been) discussion about cutting rates...that’s the sugar part of the bill," Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., told reporters in the Capitol this week. "The spinach part is what's coming up next." https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/five-issues-could-sink-trump-gop-tax-plan-n815126
  20. Good summary article of money involved, link posted by hemma in another tread http://www.espn.com/blog/buffalo-bills/post/_/id/29701/bills-save-54-million-in-cap-space-in-dumping-marcell-dareus-contract
  21. Informative link , thanks . Rodak is doing a lot better now.
