Thanks! Not the worst news....

So in summary of 22 pages...Reggie Ragland's knee is injured. The severity of said knee injury is still too be determined. The Bills also have two other injured LBs--Lattimore and Reddick. Reddick has been waived/injured. Lattimore has a broken face/nose and will play again "soon". The Bills signed Brandon Spikes and David Hawthorne to provide depth at LB--two vets who add depth at both ILB and OLB and could make the team but in the short term allow the team to stage training camp practices with a two deep LB corps Rampant speculation/debate on: - The severity of Ragland's injury - and the relationship to the two signings. - The wisdom of signing two vet LB's at this point - Whether the team knew about some pre-draft condition with Ragland's knee like Lawson's shoulder Is this about it?

Spikes is still a free agent.....Mammals with retractable genitalia signed Danny Lansanah

dammit........I heard his last meal was retatta on the way to ECMC

Nigel needs caring folks like you to help launch the effort...there is a special place in heaven for you...

Bradham is president of a new non-profit -- the society for the prevention of cruelty to beach umbrellas and cabana boys -- SPCBUCB

Sadly he passed on the MRI table...slipped off the table and fell, fractured his sternum and the bone pierced the heart...he's donating his patella tendon for patella trauma research.....sternum for sternum trauma research and big toe for toe trauma research. Shefty will be all over this in 15 minutes on twitter. (Hey its the Bills this could happen) #PrayersforReggie

The $30 million over 2 years is fair for a bridge deal for both sides. Both sides probably only want something in place like this for two years..the Bills because they have been burnt before; TT and his agent because they see big bucks after this bridge contract but in the short term they get to collect a sum that guards against injury. To make this great for the Bills I would add a third and maybe fourth year at the team option at about $19-21 million per year. I think SalC suggested this -- it would be like the Percy Harvin deal where the team held options for 2 more years at $9 million per year base...if TT is lights out this will be an appropriate deal and it gives the Bills some certainty. If not the Bills can walk away...

SteveFreeman22 are you pissed Reggie Bush has your jersey number?

We're talking about practice games....practice games....Man, practice games...

***** Fantastic script -- can't wait for the movie...thanks Astro...

I agree with the sentiment but I believe hiring Adam Gase was their best move and gives them an opportunity to improve...I am a big fan of Gase...I think Tanneyhill takes a step this year. What's that mean...he reduces sacks, brings his completion percentage up to about 64% from 62% and reduces interceptions to single digits while throwing for 30 TDs.

Ten years too late and sixteen years out of the playoffs -- the story of the Bills for far too long..

Wonder if any team in NFL history has had the top 3 players in a given draft under contract at some point in their career....pretty interesting for the draft that yielded 'Lil Donte in rd 1...

It makes sense for both sides to get something that is mid-range QB done...$16-18 million announced or so. Very few QBs get paid before they make a post season run. Orsweiler played his situation perfectly. Got starting experience as his rookie deal was expiring. Showed enough to get paid. Time will tell if the Texans made a good bet. Taylor's timing is good to but he took a risk to get in the position. Taylor took an average back up QB deal and won the starting role. His agent structured the deal to opt out so if his client did well he could get paid quicker...but this is a game where you need to make a deal at the right time...put incentives in to give you upside but strike when you can to get the guaranteed money. I would not be opposed to something like 5 years $90 million announced -- but looking like this... - Signing Bonus - $16 million Year 1 base - $7 million (fully guaranteed) ($2 million in playoff and probowl incentives)- fits in this year's cap Year 2 base - $13 million (Fully guaranteed) ($2 million playoff and probowl incentives) Year 3 base $14.5 million, $2 million in playoff and probowl incentives Year 4 base $14.5 million, $2 million in playoff and probowl incentives Year 5 base $15 million, $2 million in playoff and probowl incentives Basically $36 million in guaranteed money -- and smaller cap hits if he is cut after year 2 ($9.6 million), Year 3 ($6.4 million) and year 4 ($3.2 million) if the Bills have to cut him.. This is good for everyone--he is going to be the Bills QB for the next two years likely no matter what--give him that certainty and the money that goes with it and lock him up for longer if he proves to be the franchise guy...,this is a bargain and spreads the cap money to keep and build depth around him

Continuity could be defined as Greg Roman...

Shefty says done deal 1 year $12M fully guaranteed

Poster's contributions not worthy of the time it would take to think of something..

Pooj--they are trying new things--new twists on classics...listen to The Wheel from last night...good stuff. Bobby is energized...

Portland was a wonderful show.. Here is the set list: http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/dead-and-company/2016/moda-center-portland-or-53ff07a1.html Highlights for me: - Bobby's voice was strong throughout. His cover of Dear Prudence was well done...he doesn't have the lyrics cadence of the original Beatles so its always interesting. - Tennessee Jed is always one of my favorites and the Mayer guitar solos add to it. Guitar solos on many songs highlighted how talented this young man is..Space was a good highlight of this as well. - Sugar Magnolia and Ripple were great and traditional encores.. - they are having fun. We were walking around Portland and saw Oteil -- when he was talking about the tour he was beaming. Nice guy. Well worth it...made me wish we were headed to the Gorge tonight..

Good catch eBall...forgot Hank....damn...

When you combine an 0-3-0 starting record and the following stat line: 29 Completions 79 Attempts 36.4 completion percentage 364 yards 4 TDs 7 Ints and his amazing 10 - 26 record as the Bills head coach.. I gotta go with Kay Stephenson...best thing about Kay is that he led to Marv....who may be the best mid-season replacement coach in NFL history..
