I will make two obvious assumptions about gore:
1) he will carry ball 6-8 times a game amd usually when we need tough yards.
2) he will be used as a blocker more often then a runner.

Let's see who signs Bell.
Raiders dodged a bullet.
Davis needs an accountant---or at least some sort of business team. He owns one of the truly national teams (fans in all regions of the US), yet his team is dead last in revenue?? They bring in less than the Chargers...a team without any real fan base.
Crazy.
It is very strange that a franchise whose value is so high is so low on revenue- i assume it is it least partly due to them moving but to be below the chargers is crazy.

I don’t see him leaving Atlanta. Julio is one of Arthur Blanks and Thomas Dimitrofs guys. The Julio trade was Dimitrofs first move as a GM. I could go either way. Julio is an amazing wide receiver. He has had some great games playing in the cold. He is the ultimate ‘throw it up and have him go get it’ receiver.
The reasons not to do it-
Julio is hurt a lot and misses a ton of practice time. This isn’t as big a deal when you have an established relationship and chemistry with your quarterback. In Buffalo it could prove a bigger issue.
Julio has a very tough time in the red zone making touchdown catches.
If Buffalo can make a ton of moves in FA and not need as much team building through draft, I would be ok with giving up a first for him.
All of this is so true so i do not think making him highest paid on a 4 year deal makes sense. If he could do 4 years 48 million maybe but i think he gets more now

I think Blue collar guys would be willing to play in Buffalo and some might actually prefer it. We need to stop targeting the flashy high maintenance types looking for the publicity and notoriety that comes with a me, me, me attitude. Focus on and pay the FA who wants to be here. Team guys would be fine with Buffalo especially after talking with past player ambassadors. Don't overpay WR and RBs just to get them in town.
D. Allen signs with Fins....Who's up next?
I will expand this also to family men- Buffalo is a great place to live with a family. I live in orlando and the magic have a difficult time recruiting single dudes but the ones with families are easier sells when the magic are winning.

I am definitely going by position vs player-OL unless Josh Allen is there(which I highly doubt) maybe Hockenstein it we believe he is a truly good blocker but we need OL help and the draft appears deep there.

Worst case is we cant get anyone good to take our money........so we end up spending to the limit we are FORCED to spend and roll money to the next year......and try to fix our team through the draft.....and end up taking defensive players when our offense needs SO much help....
Then ppl start calling Josh Allen bust when once again he has no OL and no quality pass catcher's to work with
(Jesus....I hope this does not happen)
This is sadly possible- no offensive players want to show up for less than big money. I understand that though if I can get paid relatively the same and the Texans are calling most single dudes would prefer that situation both on the field and off the field.

I heard someone on the radio yesterday saying he was where AB was supposed to be filming something. AB announced he had to go to the bathroom, so they said they would show him to the private restroom. He said “no, I have to go home.” Apparently;y, the private restroom wasn’t acceptable and everyone had to wait for him to go home and come back. Odd dude and all about AB.
Story is believable to me based on what i have heard about him being a diva- not a process guy at all.

I love Buffalo.
But..... guys like Shawn Merriman and Kyle Williams and LorAx are not gonna change this perception by tweeting. Guys who are young, like Landon Collins, are laughing at memes about AB getting traded there. 35 year old dudes saying its not so bad ARE NOT reaching younger dudes. They just aren't. Shady is younger than them both, and closer in maturity to the young guys, was traded here in his prime and ACTIVELY RECRUITED GUYS, and we got...... no one.
It's time to face facts, like we do every time we have tremendous cap space every 4-5 years. NFL. Players. Don't. Want. To. Come. Here.
The only way to seriously compete with the Rams or any other team in FA is to have a great QB and a great team. Period. No amount of "Buffalo is so awesome!!!!" from JimKelly#1Fan is going to replace that.
Wait you mean that having a winning team will make getting free agents easier? I had no idea that would matter. But how did my stating buffalo is not exciting turn into this rant?

I think many players feel this way-Buffalo is a nice place to live just not as exciting as NYC or LA.

Every trade has language about passing a physical
If the player never shows up, he doesn't pass, and the trade is voided.
I believe this is correct-I know it has happened before but I am not certain it is in every contract.

NFL is all about cost vs production-therefore pass on all. but I like Clowney most of the three and by quite a bit.

If he cost 13+ million i would not go near him. I can not beleive anyone gives a NE lineman money like that when they cut him

Yeah as a boxing fan I can tell you the reason they have weight classes is to make more money, and not having 'little dudes fight big dudes' is just a byproduct.
There are so many exceptions to your example it's a waste of time keeping it going. If you honestly think Steve Smith, a notoriously tough, undersized, and ridiculously strong wideout famous for taking a ton of abuse going over the middle back when safeties could actually make contact, is losing a fight to a college QB...nope.
we will have to agree to disagree unless one of us can line this fight up(do you know Tyree Jackson by chance?)-but the reason boxing went to weight classes is too many small dudes were being pounded by much larger men and people did not want to pay to see it. Lastly I am not questioning toughness of Smith but toughness does not make up for that much height and power.

Lol you set the parameters of 8” and 50lbs...Cousins outweighs Curry by a bill and Malone played at probably 80lbs over Stockton. Try again.
Wow yao ming was actually 70 lbs heavier and 9 inches taller-same as malone vs stockton- my point is you found the major exception to the rule and were so proud of your cleverness. There is a reason they have boxing weight classes and it is because little dudes get messed up by big dudes in fair fights.

You’d probably take Yao Ming over Ben Wallace then.
Steve Smith would tear that kid apart.
How about demarcus cousins vs steph curry? You had to pick a dude who retired 8 years ago after being injured his entire career. Clever. But i will play along- you would probably take john stockton over karl malone.
-
All the comments about how crazy steve smith is, while accurate, are not needed because 80% of NFL is crazy. If you play a game at a high level where every week you get hit that much in the head it makes you nuts. Few hit the age of 50 without some major mental issues.

I will take the dude with 50 lbs and 8 inches every day in a straight fight. Both dudes are arhletes so yeah i take Jackson everyday all day.

I hope Buffalo is looking at Ross from AZ and Johnson from Orlando- both seem to have good hands and i really think they could part of a strong recieving corp that goes 5 deep relatively cheap. I do not like the idea of spending big money on WR since QB makes WR look good- or bad- so often.
22 minutes ago, Mr. WEO said:I'll never find the logic in this type of comment.
Why should they pay for a crappy minor league when they have a premium one that costs them nothing, and where nearly every single player comes from?
.
I get your logic but I think they are worried about XFL being successful and Would rather break even on a product that they control then have a different league pop up and be successful against the NFL wishes.

As I read mostly reasonable responses I realize how absurd the premise is- you must have total loyalty to one team. It is built on the concept that the NFL is anything more than an entertainment venture. No one sanely argues you can only like one movie studio or one genre of book. I do not begrudge somone the right to be all in but the argument you must be is absurd.

I grew in rochester and love Syracuse and Army in football but live in orlando and root for UCF. If they play each other i will figure out order but i definitely have multiple teams in college.

I disagree mostly because he drafted him and those guys always get more timeI think he will get more chances for that reason. I also think that McD knows that the QB situation hasn’t been ideal for a developing WR. In addition, he’s shown the ability to make plays have big games, he hasn’t been a complete no show. I believe that he will get his full rookie contract to prove himself and the Bills will make a decision on him at that point.
The first line is most important- guys like NFL head coaches need to be proven wrong after they make a decision and Zay has not been proven bad- even though he is a long way from proven good. Also i do not think we will have 5 better recievers this year on roster and he is not a huge salary.
-
I have watched several game each week and it shows me how few guys on defenses are truly great and how many work with certain systems- basically how many cbs can be press or zone but not both and true of all defense positions
-
I think people on here might be jumping the gun the list of people whose name will come out- while Kraft will likely be the " biggest" to most i bet they will release a few politicians names befpre this is done.

Do you need a better reason?
That is the only reason this story is so disturbing- otherwise it is simply embarassing but not something worth the effort.

I can not believe anyone will give him that kind of cash since he just sat a year where he was offered 14 .million. His loyalty is not the team but himself which is not a bad thing except for where it cost 25 million a year.
7 hours ago, IgotBILLStopay said:I think people thinking Bell wont get 10 mill per year are delusional. Besides being a RB, he also has outstanding ball skills as a WR. He had 80+ catches for 650+ yards the last time he played. That would easily have made him Bills top receiver in catches and yards. If Sammy got 16 mill per year, there is no way Bell makes 10 mill per year. He may not get Gurley money, but he will come close. Additionally, unlike Gurley, he has produced in the post-season at about 130 yds from scrimmage. This guy can be a game changer. An OC can get so creative with a guy like Bell in the backfield.
I expect him to get at least 30 mill guaranteed if his conditioning is good and he passes his physical.
Did anyone say less than 10 million a year? If the Bills can sign him for 4 years at 40 million i would say do it now. My bet is 4 years about 55 million

I am missing why 6 million a year is setting people on fire- he is supposed to be a good blocker and has had a good offensive year- 6 million is what guys like that get in NFL. I bet Jesse James gets much more.
