Hope he gets millions for this. Life and career ruined.
She doesn't have any money. If he wins a case against her, it will probably just be a moral victory.
But if he DOES win,I think it gets him back to the NFL sooner.

Right. You dont know anything about labor/employment law.

OMG. Why would you trade away a WR still on his rookie deal? That would weaken the offense no matter how many detractors there are.

Worth it on his speed and athleticism alone. From his draft profile:
Competitive, well-rounded receiver possessing both elite quickness and long speed to go with solid play strength. Isabella has the feet and fakes to uncover in a hallway closet, and the former high school sprint champion proved to Georgia that his ability to win deep should not be underestimated. Isabella could become a menace on option routes with the ability to add vertical routes from the slot, but he must improve his pass-catching consistency and smoothness into his breaks in order to transition all that speed to the NFL.
Ceiling is a Beasley/Welker/Edelman type slot guy. Could be the slot yin to Kincaid’s yang, so to speak.
That was 4,5 years ago. Hasnt worked out so well for him

He might be our new kick returner.
Hasn't done much as a returner but the potential is there

I mean what, do you want them to hand Elam the job if he isn't progressing in understanding his role and how to defend in a zone defense well enough? Reports from camp yesterday was that he was giving up receptions in coverage, while running with the 2's.
People have a Jones here talking about how McDermott won't play rookies (or young players) for mysterious reasons even though the poor trodden upon rookies are so much better than the guy who is out there.
News flash, when rookies have been better than the alternative, they've played.
Tre White: 16 starts as a rookie.
Dion Dawkins: 11 starts as a rookie
Zay Jones: 10 starts as a rookie (no, he wasn't good, but he was better than the alternative)
Tre Edmunds: 15 games as a rookie (again, made mistakes, but better than the alternative)
Ed Oliver: 7 starts as a rookie, including being benched for a few games. Phillips was better.
Cody Ford: 15 starts as a rookie
As a team overall improves, and is more attractive to FA, it becomes harder and harder for a rookie to be "better than the alternative"
But the truth is, rookies get playing time if they deserve it by being better than the alternative, and lose playing time if they don't. And deserving isn't limited to a few good plays fans see, it means understanding the play call and their role and being in the right place doing the right thing every play.
Well said!

I think they mentioned he subbed in for Taron
Rapp as Nickel? Interesting.

Over two years, right.

This premise ignores the fact that many of these guys were not good PASSERS and exploited their athletic ability to gain some yards.
Some have,or will become effective passers. Josh has certainly improved that part of his game,but many don't.

12 personnel, not 21.
Beane just reiterated on One Bills Drive that Dorian will stay at weak side LB,for now,maybe this season.

Found this interesting
The kick [I think he means punt] returners were Khlil Shakir, Darrynton Evans, and Deonte Harty. In that order. New faces, new places.
During kick return drills they used some new faces, as well. KeeSean Johnson, Dane Jackson, Kaiir Elam, and Alex Austin showed a mix of familiar and unfamiliar numbers.
I think you both might be confused. It wasn't written especially clearly.

I wonder if they might consider him as a practice squad stash especially if we plan on running more 12 personnel this year
Well if they DO run more 12 what good does he do on the practice squad? Looks like he provides quality competition for guys like Morris.

Ya but he was only in a handful of games
His KR ability was phenomenal and idk why he wouldn't have been more involved given his playmaking ability
Sorry for any confusion....two of my comments were merged; one about Evans,one about Hines.

Liked him coming out but has struggled to find a home. Some upside there.
Had a couple injuries I think.
24 minutes ago, JerseyBills said:Idk. Could have sworn there was an article with multiple sources saying Hines would be way more involved on O. I mean he was ridiculously explosive but certainly behind Cook and Harris , was hoping for some Cook/Hines backfields
Great chess piece and weapon. Sucks..
I don't know about "great". Hasnt done much offensively for the Bills and his Bills career might be over.

We don't have a returner.
Harty , Cook and Shakir can return kicks

Terrible for Hines, speedy recovery to him
Does this mean we now get the other Cook?
One doesn't equal the other. Cook wouldn't be replacing Hines, the primary returner only occasionally getting offensive reps.
Bills will likely replace Hines with a low cost back that can also return kicks, like Darynton Evans,Jaret Patterson.

Cute.

Has anyone suggested we trade Gave Davis for him yet?
That would be a bad move . How many touches would Jacobs take away from Harris and Cook? That's not an efficient use of RBs.
And how much better would the production really be? Then you have even more questions at WR.
All this assumes the Bills could trade for him and pay him what he wants.

Bring in Cook!
Not the same type of RB. I dont think this inspires Beane to sign Dalvin, but I would bring in a RB-KR guy, or two.
-
There are a number of backs still available and several have return experience.
With the change of kickoff rules, and the presence of Harty and Shakir, Bills return game should be okay.
I feel bad for Hines as I hoped he would be more involved in the offense.

How do you figure? His injury doesn't help the salary cap.

It doesn't make any sense that there continues to be speculation about other RB's possibly joining the Bills. This is the deepest RB backfield we've had in years.
Cook - Has lots of promise
Harris - Proven quality RB
Latavius Murray - Continues to produce at a good level
Hines - Speedy, really good return guy who has shown the ability to play well
We are set at RB, there isn't a need.
I wouldn't TRADE for Dillon but might give him a look if he gets cut.

Ted Koy,early 70s. Listed as a TE,at 6-2 212. Played mostly special teams but supposedly able to also play RB,FB,WR,LB, and S.
-
If they really intend to run more "12" it makes sense to improve TE depth. And if Kincaid does play mostly as a slot receiver, even more so.
Bills gave WR N'Keal Harry a try out
in The Stadium Wall

What difference does it make to a salary guarantee if he is signed BEFORE the season starts? Depends on the contract, and whether the Bills offer guaranteed money.
