Do you like our odds with Josh and a decent roster vs Tyrod and an better roster?I don’t like the Steelers entire offseason though, candidly. They 3/4 pushed in the chips for a Super Bowl they aren’t going to win.
Obviously the Bills, but many here act like the Steelers have that choice. Or that they shouldn’t extend one of the best defensive players in the league because they don’t have a Josh Allen level QB. It’s ridiculous.
I don’t think it’ll work out for the Steelers either, but they’re trying and giving themselves a chance to do well this season. What would you have them do? Simply tank season after season until they can draft a FQB? How’s that been working for the Browns?

$108m guaranteed over three years
That’s why they gave the guaranteed amount, which is different than the AAV.

sitting in qb purgatory chasing Lamar and burrow is a fools game
So you’re saying they shouldn’t try to win games or keep their other good players?

This seems a little premature, no?
Regarding nine eleven, they weren't a cook or two down. It's always like that (long wait to get a table/long wait to get food). Place is run terribly. They make you jump through hoops to get their wings (open limited hours, long waits, only take cash, no A/c). They have the dream restaurant business, people lining up out the door for one menu item. Should be the most efficient money making machine in America. But they manage to screw it up to the point where I don't bother going.
Rant over. It actually upsets me because like you said they are the best wings I've ever had.
A friend is in The Buffalo Wing Coalition. The group constantly rates and updates rankings for wings in the city. 911 is only 1 of 5 places in the Tier 1 Elite category. The others, in no particular order, are Bar Bill (original), Kelly’s Korner, Adolf’s and Sonny Red’s. I’m sad that I’ve only been to 2 of those.

I don't understand why that gets reported as $41m/yr...it's 95% most likely not going to be that...they should report it as $36m/yr...and even then, without having looked, I'm gonna assume it's a two year deal with a void year even if there isn't a void year...like he'll restructure or be cut after the second year most likely as a pre workout bonus designated as a post June 1 cut or something?
But yeah, why do they report average yearly salary based on the total value and not the guaranteed value or at least give it as two values: the guaranteed/yr and the max value/yr.
It's not just a small annoyance either, people use that to calculate % of cap at signing and such and it drives narratives and pro bowl/all pro voting, etc.
We don’t have all the details yet, but if new money is $123M over 3 seasons as reported, then that’s $41M AAV. Where do you get $36M from?

Another guy refusing to play for the Sabres.....er... Commanders
He’ll play. He’s due almost $20M this season. He’s not jeopardizing that. I don’t blame him for wanting an extension now and I don’t blame Washington for not giving it to him.
His situation is similar to Amari Coopers’ in some ways, but very different in a couple others. Same age, one year left on contract and both wanting an extension. Both teams reluctant to give them one with any real guarantees beyond this season.
But Cooper had a vet min salary because the Browns kicked his cap out with a signing bonus conversion. McLauren has been paid a $2.8M roster bonuses and is still due $15.5M in salary, $850k in per game roster bonuses and $250k in incentives. Not many teams can trade for that. Also the Browns were tanking. Washington will be in contention unless something goes off the rails. They aren’t motivated to move him like the Browns were with Cooper.
In short, Washington isn’t trading him, it would be nearly impossible for the Bills cap-wise and giving him a big extension would be a huge mistake.

Anyone ever been to San Felipe, Baja, Mexico? My dad offered me a plot there that he isn’t going to use and cost to build (at California code) is very inexpensive compared to the US. I intend to visit this winter, but would welcome any insight. I wouldn’t spend summers there, but it seems like it might be a low key place to chill in winters.

Happy to hear the surgery went well. I hope it’s the first step toward health and happiness.

I am in the process of making this decision. I appreciate all the info. It will almost certainly be a split between two locations. Kids are both in college and their decisions on where to live will probably impact mine.

Adding “natural flavoring” to liquor and beer is a horrific trend. Those flavorings are almost never derived from what they are supposed to taste like. In fact, they generally don’t really add flavor, only aroma. When more than a small touch is used they do add a horrible aftertaste though. That one looks particularly disgusting.

I mean, if he’s going to miss a couple days I guess you can steal a day or two looking at an extra guy?That was my guess too. Hopefully they already know what it is and aren’t waiting on an MRI or anything like that.

Turns 30 this year, I don't think we have the cap space either.
I agree. Not just 30 this year, but 30 with a large, new deal. So some big, guaranteed dollars. I love McLauren as a WR, but that’s a huge risk. Also it would be crippling from a cap standpoint. Nearly impossible numbers-wise and destructive to the roster to find a path to make it work not just this season, but the next couple of years.

You can’t be on the pup list unless it is due to football related injuries from what I understand and they can’t practice at the start of training camp, so he will not be practicing next week when camp starts.
This is all correct, except teams can move a PUP player to the active roster at any time prior to cut down day. So while I agree that he will likely miss practices at the start of camp, it’s not mandatory that he miss any time. The team can activate him if he’s ready by then. Players on PUP after cut downs must miss 4 weeks.

That’s rough. I can’t imagine and hope to never have to deal with anything like that. As most here know, Jim Kelly’s son, Hunter, died of Krabbe Disease, which is inherited. I hope that this is not that or any other untreatable illness and that the child is fully healthy soon.

Did you hear that scientists have been experimenting on lawyers instead of rats. Two reasons. There are more of them and the scientists don’t get nearly as attached to them.

How can you get axed for selling tickets if you bought a PSL? The whole point of the PSL is that you have paid for the right to buy season tickets and no one else can buy season tickets for that seat. There is nothing in the contract that says you can't resell them. You can legally resell every single ticket and there's nothing the Bills can do about it once you bought the PSL. Purchasing the PSL guarantees you the right to buy those tickets. That being said, if you stop buying those season tickets, you forfeit that right in the future.
I don’t know for a fact, but I would be very surprised if there isn’t a clause in the PSL contracts about this.

I thought we were ranking beer. That said, if you’re ever near Stowe, VT it’s worth going to The Alchemist to get a Heady Topper from the hand pull.

Thanks but thats not counting Miller right (thought you mention Miller later...)? I had 8 from Groot, 6 from miller, 6 from AJ, and then Smoot and Solomon had another 4.5 and if we count Toohill he got 1 as well.
Considering the underwelming nature of last years DE performance (and better DT play beside them), I think the over is pretty easy. Also not sure why Hoecht is considered in this group. Its all EDGE to me. If groot takes a step forward (AGAIN) then thats half the total right there. If Bosa stays healthy I think he easily surpasses his 5 from last year.
That counts Miller’s 8 sacks per ESPN. They have him listed as a LB, but he was a DE here. There was another DE listed as a LB I included too.

Bills DEs had a total of 18.5 sacks in 2024, 23 in 2023 and 26 in 2022. 2022’s success was behind 8 each from Miller and Rousseau. 23.5 probably would require Bosa to stay healthy and ball out.

Don't know if this has been posted yet, but is this a fair ranking for the Bills?
It would be very difficult to argue that the Bills aren’t in the bottom quartile wrt to the criteria given.

Well I’ll be damned; it’s called Sexual Misconduct and Molestation Liability Insurance. Good God Almighty.Organizations that work with children, the disabled, the elderly and other vulnerable persons almost always carry a Sexual Assault and Molestation (SAM/SML) rider to their general liability policy. But that’s for the organization. Even that would not cover damages the individual assailant would be liable for. Though the policy might cover some/all legal fees.
Individual liability policies usually don’t cover intentional acts or damages. It’s doubtful Hairston would’ve had that policy while in college anyway.

they are both meaningful, though I’d also argue that the fully guaranteed money total is more meaningful. the combination of AAV and fully guaranteed money paints a clear picture of the contract. IIRC you suggested that guaranteed money per year should have been the figure reported instead of AAV. that is not meaningful at all.
