The Bills aren’t “set” at WR. They’re average there (no longer tragic). With that being said, Kupp doesn’t make a ton of sense. The Bills have lots of slot options. It wouldn’t be crazy to se another boundary guy though. That way Coleman and Shakir can work from the slot. I don’t foresee another move at WR but it isn’t out of the question. Mike Williams is an example of the kind of guy that could help (although the Jets wouldn’t trade him to the Bills). Cooper and Williams playing on the outside with Shakir and Keon in the slot. Samuel working as the gadget guy. That’s a pretty good room (especially with Keon coming on). I’m not expecting it but there is absolutely room to get better at WR. WR/S/DT/pass rush are the areas that they can still get better at (excluding kicker).

Cooked, hard pass

They put in these rules to make the game safer (horse collar, hip drop, hit to a defenseless receiver, etc..). They are good rules and need to be enforced. No one wants to see Chris Godwin miss an extended period of time over something that could be prevented. I wish that there was a way to take playing time away from the offenders. If you get one of those penalties or a fine from one of those plays, it’s a warning. The 2nd offense is 1 game. The 3rd offense is 4 games. 4th offense is 8 games and 5th offense is a season. That will clean things up and prevent these senseless injuries.

Dorian goes back into a reserve role. He will still find some playing time. It also allows the Bills flexibility with Milano if he struggles coming back.

I know a little bit about the lease and the situation from that time. This is kind of BS. Ralph and his team (Littman, Russ Brandon, etc) negotiated an iron clad lease that wouldn’t have allowed someone to move for like a decade. This was Ralph’s wish and way to ensure that the next owners would keep the team here. I don’t remember the specifics but certain groups explored buying the Bills but it wasn’t going to be “tough to move them away.” It was impossible. They would have been a lame duck in WNY for like a decade and paid a crazy amount (like more than the cost of the team if my memory is right). No one really knew the specifics until the bidding started and they were screwed (including Bon Jovi). The details are fuzzy but the overarching point is that relocation was never an option.

I have no idea what Rousseau’s value is before his new contract. I don’t think it’s beyond a 3rd or 4th on his own. Rousseau and a 3rd isn’t in the realm of what Garrett will go for. Rousseau, a 1 and, a 3 isn’t enough imo.

Fair. I’m not sure that he will get that (although he might). I’ve kind of been a little all over in terms of what he will get. It will be 2 firsts plus a little more. If I had to guess they will want a young, starter as a part of it too. It doesn’t seem like something that the Bills would do, but maybe something like Rousseau and 2 firsts or Elam, 2 firsts, a 3rd & 5th? I don’t know the other teams well enough to know what they may include so this is my Bills example. The Bills would not have to make a decision on a big extension for Rousseau that may or may not be a good idea. The Browns would get 2 firsts and a young pass rusher with upside. With Elam, you’re buying low on a guy that has flashed and has talent. I still think other teams have bigger packages to offer. Garrett and Crosby are “all in” moves for someone. Bears? Lions? Jets 😂😂?

He will 100% go for 2 1sts plus more. He’s, arguably, the best pass rusher in the world. Pass rush and #1 WR are the most coveted positions outside of QB. That’s what Justin Jefferson would cost too. You win with stars and generational players. Garrett isn’t Bradley Chubb (who went for a 1, 4, and Edmonds for a 5th). Garrett is generational. I’ll wager whatever you want that they get 2 first rounders plus more. I don’t know exactly where it’ll end but that is absolutely the comp. The Bears traded 2 firsts, a 3rd & 6th for Mack, a 2 and a 7. This compensation will be more. Our fan base has a history of overrating our own players (see any WR thread prior to last week) and underrating other players in the league (someone last week said that they didn’t want Davante Adams taking snaps from Mack Hollins). Myles Garrett is a HOF pass rusher in his prime. Based on this we are overrating the foot injury too: https://www.ankle-footspecialist.com/blog/myles-garretts-injured-foot With all of that being said, I don’t think that the Bills are the destination. The Lions feel like the ideal place. Za’Darius Smith would fit the Bills though.

Have fun everyone!! Super jealous of y’all going to this game. Hopefully you have a great time!!

That may not be enough. The conversation starts with 2 1sts and more. The Bills having a late 1st puts them in position where they may have to add a 2nd. I don’t think Garrett is a realistic target but that’s the price if he moves. They absolutely will get multiple 1sts.

Then we strongly disagree. His stats are well ahead of both MVP seasons. He’s currently the betting favorite.

Well of course it isn’t over. At the same time, it’s reasonable to have a list of the leaders at this point. Through 7 games, Lamar Jackson is the MVP.

I don’t know if you were chastised for the cost in draft picks or for the thought that DE was a bigger need than WR. That wasn’t a reasonable opinion prior to Cooper. Obviously Garrett is an elite player. He may be the best defensive player in football and plays a very important position. If you had a chance to get him, who cares what it costs. You’d be the Super Bowl favorite. I don’t know much about these injury issues people are talking about. If he’s injured, you can’t make that big offer.

If you aren’t starting with 2 1sts and more, you aren’t a destination for Myles Garrett.

This was, by far, his best game IMO. He looked dangerous and more comfortable. Having Cooper next to him will open things up for Keon.

I love these threads and watching what people think is “realistic.” 😂😂 “I’d give them a 2nd and Hamlin.” 😂😂 The offer, if you want Garrett, 2025 1st, 2025 2nd, 2026 1st, 2025 4th & Kaiir Elam. Something like that feels fair but still probably isn’t enough as the Bills will be picking at the end of the round.

Love Cheers!! I still watch it every weekday at 6 & 6:30AM. That show is still so funny.

2nd year but point taken…

Rudolph is better than Levis IMO. Levis would have made more plays and more mistakes. Rudolph will be steady (even though he isn’t good). If the Bills make mistakes tomorrow the Titans can hang around. With Levis in, they would have made too many mistakes regardless.

I don’t disagree. That’s just what Kuharsky responded to someone that asked on Twitter.

Apparently they are saying it is from “injury.”

It was meant to distract the fan base. Instead of saying, “our WRs are trash and never open.” The spin was, “we don’t need to force the ball to one guy.” It was a load of crap that most intelligent fans saw right through. Fortunately it only lasted 6 games and they were 4-2 in that span. Now they can have Amari Cooper eat twice and Mack go hungry.
