I cannot believe there is one vote for the hypothetical trade. Who would want to give away one of the best players on the team, a back with elite speed, vision, and receiving ability to your main rival, and for one 2nd round pick? I cannot imagine any sentient adult thinking this is a good thing. Someone please go back to the old Marshawn Lynch trade threads to see how many of the posters who were calling for that are now calling for this. Same twisted logic, and reasoning ability, in both cases. They are likely the same people who lambast the idea of 'complimentary football', who think the running game is not vital. But great to see that the vast majority of Bills' fans on here would not want such a super stupid, team undermining move. Would go down as one of the worst moves in the history of the Bills. Looking for a nice contract extension for Cook, in the 10-13 million a year range, in the coming weeks. Needed and much deserved.

He is not a running back, a group that has been notoriously underpaid for years now. He did not need to do that. Cook may have, to strengthen his hand. But I believe this is a sign that the Bills will very soon do the right thing and sign Cook to a similar contract, though maybe one more based on incentives.
-
Great news, as Shakir will clearly be a cornerstone of this offense under Allen. He may become a perennial pro bowler once the Bills have a high level wideout or two on the boundaries--and throw the ball to the backs more. Seems like a bargain price, maybe a considerable one. Time will tell. Thanks, Beane! Now, show Cook some love..and lock up someone who is just as vital to this offense, and like Shakir, just getting started.
-
I was just mentioning Sharpe because he spouted the most ignorant, completely uniformed opinions on Allen and the Bills that I have ever heard. For example, this year he said that the Bills were better because Allen was no longer doing this: scoring a touchdown, and then turning it over on the next series, with the other team scoring a touchdown. He made the point that for every touchdown the Bills scored, Allen's turnovers lead to as many touchdowns for the other team. Then he said this is what Allen does in the playoffs, scores a lot yes, but his many playoff turnovers lead to an equal number of scores for the other team. So, just having some fun with one of the laziest, dumbest, misinformed 'analysts' in the world.

Well, then get ir done! May be able to revive his once very promising career in a place like Buffalo. At 29, the Bills would be ultra negligent to not see what he has left. Maybe he has a few ten sack seasons left in him? Bigger than I realized, at 6' 5" and 280 pounds. Also a good thing. Beane and the Bills will be careless if they leave any stone unturned when it comes to their D-Line.
-
When is the last time this Bosa looked like a top tier player? I cannot recall that, but unless it is mega cheap, and a contract that is instead laden with incentives, no thanks. One of the most over paid players in the NFL right now.
-
Wow, extremely enlightening. So many of us likely thought that the reason the Bills have not taken the next step in the playoffs, and especially intelligent analysts like Shannon Sharpe, was that Josh Allen was stinking it up in the playoffs. Now, thanks to your detailed breakdown, we all now that is likely not that case. Thank you!

NFL Off-Season Free Agency/Trade Positional Breakdown WR
Mister Defense replied to billsfan89's topic in The Stadium Wall
Actually, not a bad idea. 3 million base salary, with some modest incentives. And a clause in his contract that if he complains about anything behind the scenes or in public he can be immediately cut with no compensation. -
Gonzo Mock Draft Version 3.0 Final Version( Starts on Page 7)
Mister Defense replied to gonzo1105's topic in The Stadium Wall
Nope No Ezeiruaku. NO more 'undersized' defensive lineman. It is a running league again, as it was destined to be when most teams went smaller and faster. Duh. The teams that run and stop the run best will win. The teams that have the big beasts on the D and O lines will be the dominant teams in the coming years. -
Overall I agree with your last point here. But the Bills have a very solid O Line, and a great trio of running backs, though under-utilized this year in both the rushing and passing game. As they did in the Championship game, of course. The Bills, after searching for a difference maker at running back since McCoy left, have that player in James Cook. I cannot imagine them now saying, "Let him go, let's roll the dice again--and again and again. Rather than paying the man a good, deserved salary. It would be a huge step back for the Bills, as they add another significant need, weakening them, making it less likely they win it all next year. IMO.
-
Hopefully the front office has learned its lesson, as the league is doing now overall. Just watch the Super Bowl again to see how detrimental a poor running attack can be, even to the best quarterbacks. The best Josh Allen and best Bills are based on how good the running game is. We saw it several years ago, after they lost to Tampa and then started running and running, becoming the #1 running team in the NFL and looking unstoppable. And ditto last year post dorsey, and this year, clearly much more focused on the run. I think the front office will put their money where the logic is now, and not discount the value of a great running game to Allen and the Bills. You would not consider getting rid of a great lineman and the same logic applies to a great running back, both very difficult to find.

I had thought it was sarcasm, it's such a bizarre and ridiculous thing to say, an old worn out cliche that has no more legitimacy than if you added any other position to that phrase-see below. It is like people hear something and then just repeat it over and over and over, no matter how out of date it is and nonsensical it is. The facts be damned completely. Don't pay wide receivers. Don't pay cornerbacks. Don't pay safeties. Don't pay linebackers. Don't pay defensive tackles. Don't pay slot receivers. Don't pay tight ends. Don't pay kickers. See how each phrase is as stupid as the others and without any merit? That kind of stupidity has forced Cook and others to do extraordinary things to get payed what they deserve. You would have thought the last few years would have put an end to the devaluation of running backs..
-
Seems strange to offer several more extremely bad examples/comparisons here to support his point, the bad comparison! Jonathan Taylor had the 4th most rushing yards this past season, rushing for over 1400 yards. To you, he is "absolutely not" 'that guy' anymore? Did you see him in any games this year? Healthy again, Taylor was a beast again, and clearly in the conversation as one of the top backs in the entire league. And then you throw in another bad comparison, Breece Hall, a player who has never been, not yet anyway. Then you say 'these guys are just very up and down', I think implying that most running backs are that, extremely inconsistent, and also if the Bills give him a big extension it may seem like a total disaster' if the OL suffers a rash of injuries. To sum it up, here you imply that the Bills should not sign Cook to a big extension because he may flame out like the once great, now clearly not great, Taylor, who had over 1400 yards and 11 TDS this year, and that the Bills should be extremely wary of a contract extension because, for some reason, their O line may suffer a rash of injuries limiting Cook's effectiveness? Not very fact based or logical points made there to support your point, in fact you seem to undermined it considerably with your examples and analysis. With that logic literally almost any good or great player, and at any position, should never be offered a big extension. Seems like an awful way to build, and maintain, a great team, throwing sense and logic out the door completely.
-
Umm, how is this in any way relevant to James Cook and the Bills offering him a good contract now?? Mostert is 32, turning 33 in April. James Cook is 25. And furthermore, Mostert had over 1,000 yards rushing, at 4.8 yards per carry and 18 touchdowns--in the 2023 season. Cook is just getting started and clearly one of the top backs in the league already. So, you need to offer a dramatically better comparison than Miami not bringing back the 33 year old Mostert next season, to the Bills not signing Cook. The comparison is comically bad, in my book..
-
Exactly. That is why this stupidity, call for this horrendous move by the Bills, is so much like what some ignorant posters were saying about Lynch--he is a thug, and not that good anyway, look at home many yards he has this year, and that Fred Jackson is very capable, even better probably, so let's get rid of Lynch. We don't need him, easily replaceable... And then, with so much nonsense guiding their 'thought' 'process', most were quite pleased by the fact the Bills got a 4th round and conditional pick (5th round) for by far the best player on the Bills, one of the best running backs and players in the NFL. Ignorance often makes for supremely bad analysis and conclusions and this is a very clear example of that. If we Ignore all kinds of facts and reality, and are okay being guided by nonsense, fabrication, then yes, let's get rid of Cook. Easily replaceable, as Lynch was.
-
Yup, what happened with Lynch was as dumb as what some are calling for in the case of Cook. The things Lynch did were not huge red flags, but the actions by a young player new to the league making stupid mistakes. He was not used well at all by Gailey, and that is why the Bills had to showcase him in the game before the trade deadline when, of course, Lynch showed he was the best player on the team, field, and one of the top in the league. He was soon traded for almost nothing. He lead them to several Super Bowls and is a sure fire first ballot Hall of Famer. Cook did the same kinds of thing this year, and looked better and better, as all great players at his age tend to do. He is one of the top backs in the league, one of the best at running and catching, with elite speed, vision, and toughness. Many used the fact to support the Lynch trade that we had a good running back in 30+ year old Freddy Jackson to be the featured back. Lynch, like Cook now, was disposable to the ultra dumb fans who could not see the forest through the trees. Sad how some people, who don't use facts much, cannot see beyond their own misguided thoughts and strange whims. But I am confident the Bills pay Cook very well, and soon. If not, they will look as dumb as those who traded away Lynch.
-
It's a tired old, worn out cliche, that maybe had an iota of validity for 2 years. (But is your post a joke on that, or real?) It is pure stupidity today. Would be just as ridiculous to say never pay cornerbacks, wide receivers, lineman... just as ignorant--no basis in facts or reality. It is the same philosophy that the WORST teams in the NFL still rely on to make their awful decisions. Please see the Giants, Raiders, Titans, Bengals... and see how their belief in that dumb cliche, with no basis in reality, worked out for their teams. And then look at the teams those misguided mega dumb teams they traded with...
-
Someone more ambitious than I am should go back to some of the threads before and after the trade of Marshawn Lynch. They should look at all of the immensely ignorant and flat out stupid things that were said in regards to unloading by far the best player on the team, how that would be a good thing. How many of the same yahoos saying we should unload Lynch, and for some of the same type of mega stupid reasons, are now calling for Cook to be let go? And what kind of mega stupid reasons did people have for that bizarre move, the worst the Bills have ever made. I think we'd, at the very least, see the parallels in the level of arrogance, idiocy, and stupidity.
-
They will likely sign him for @12 million a year, with some extra incentives. I cannot imagine any Bills fan thinking that is overpaying for what is likely the 2nd best player on the team, one of the best running and receiving running backs in the league, and a big difference maker on this offense. Yes, underutilized this year, but that will not be the case next year.. To not do so would be a phenomenally ignorant and stupid move, creating a big hole in the offense as you lose one of the most dynamic play makers on the team--and in the league. At 25 years old. It would go down in team history as one of the worst moves ever. That is what the old, ignorant Bills would do--not this incarnation of the team. I have significant confidence that they pay Cook very well, and lock him up for 4-5 years.
-
?? You obviously did not hear that running backs are a dime a dozen? In fact, about 20 or so geniuses on this board have been saying that for year, and still, despite what everyone else has seen with their own eyes. 'Let Cook walk'! But why would the Bills trade away either of their two top players right now, creating more needs to fill in the draft and off season?
-
Well, one of the biggest Bills' busts ever was their first round pick (#19) out of Clemson in 1982, wide receiver Perry Tuttle. He had 107 yards his first year, then 261 in 1983, by far his best year as a pro. Then, cut or traded, and in his 3rd best year in the NFL he caught 1 pass for 7 yards. Went on to have a good career in the CFL, but no one cares, at least in our country.

Rodgers givin’ the boot from the Jets
Mister Defense replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall
You retire and go out in heap, which is very fitting for such a bad guy. Or, you beg another team to take you on, hoping there is another team as dumb, dysfunctional, and short sighted as the jets. Either way, as pathetic an ending as one could hope for such a guy. He thought he would go out like Brady did! But to someone like rodgers, all of that work that Brady put in, mentally and physically, were not even on his radar. Too arrogant and crazy to think he needed to step up his game if he were to play well into his 40's. -
Rodgers givin’ the boot from the Jets
Mister Defense replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall
A sad day for Bills fans, as the jets never had a chance with that washed up nutjob. I had hoped he would never leave. But all good things come to an end sooner or later. Part of life. Hopefully they continue being the jets and bring in someone with the same kind of skills and leadership ability as our boy, forever, aaron rodgers.
