Since teams offset salaries of fired coaches that find new jobs, wouldn’t this just all resolve itself if Dennison found a similar job with another organization? Oh, right.....

I’ll see if I can get that from him. He also writes for a Browns site and I’ve seen what he’s written about fits there. But the Browns will likely be running a scheme that utilizes a lot of zone blocking. That’s a bit different from the Bills although we also need somewhat nimble OL because they all need to be able to pull.

I know the guy who did the article (Sobo) a little bit. He was just having some fun with possibilities that make some sense for each team. FWIW he is a big fan of how the Bills FO attacked the interior OL last off-season. He is a former lineman and is always a good person to get opinions on everything OL and DL.

Man the Jest are a train wreck. Not sure why anyone would work or play there. The exceptions would be for them to ridiculously overpay for someone like they did CJ Mosley or give someone a job at a much higher level than they warrant, like they did with Adam Gase.

I was in Pittsburgh a few weeks ago and a large amount of pizza and wings were ordered in. Someone said “I’ll bet these aren’t as good as you get in Buffalo.” My complete answer would’ve taken like 10 minutes so I just shrugged and didn’t say anything. I didn’t want to be THAT GUY. For the record on the wings I had one. Huge bats that couldn’t possibly cook anywhere near as fast as the flats. Had a bat. Meat wouldn’t pull away from the bone. Soggy skin and not just because it was takeout. They were in the big, disposable chaffing trays and there was about 2” of sauce they were swimming in. I got one off the top but it was still really soggy. Asked which ones were the hottest. No heat at all.

Excellent screen name btw

Not sure what he did. I certainly don’t condone illegal prostitution, but he could be on the registry for doing precisely what he was caught doing here as a oliciting prostitution can get a person on a sex offender registry. Or he could have done something much worse. Dunno.

I’m very sorry for your loss

That is all correct. This year of the contract was obviously structured this was to force an extension before the season or let Dareus hit FA while he could still get one last big contract. Side note: Since this is the last year of the current CBA, the June 1st designation does not apply to any player - even those cut after 6/1. If a player is cut or traded it all hits this season.

Teams are only supposed to use a tag with the intention of retaining the player, but there isn’t much to be done if the team makes an effort to do so. In this case the Jags clearly want to keep him even if he doesn’t want to be there.

I agree. I have no problem trading high picks for young, proven talent. But there’s almost no way Carolina would want to trade him. The theoretical caveats to that - unreported serious injury, major locker room problems, looming suspension - would make me not want him.

That makes no sense. You’re saying that you don’t want an elite quarterback because you never want to have to pay one. Too much fuss is made over paying franchise QBs. They’re well worth what they make. Teams have to draft well and be willing to swap out some expensive players at lesser positions, but that is far easier and much more preferable to finding another elite QB.

https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/tredavious-white-21768/market-value/ Spotrac estimates his market value at 5 years, $78M. That’d be the biggest contract for any CB. I say that he’s worth that. I’d do it as an extension, not a new deal. That would keep him here for 6 more seasons and keep the salary low this year, but he’d get his signing bonus a year early.

You’re going to get murdered here for this because it’s been brought up and argued so often. You’ve been a member since ‘03 so I don’t think that you are trolling. I’d bet that you just occasionally visit here and didn’t see it before. Quick answer: Love Tre, he is a fantastic CB. Josh has great potential. But in this league you take a top 5 QB every time over those.

scUM certainly dominated in the early years. Not so great recently, though. 2,991 days and counting since they beat tOSU.

Saleh was not expected to be that serious of a candidate for the Browns HC position. His interview nearly got him the job. It was extremely close between Stefanski (who had the advantage of being Depodesta’s guy the previous year) and him. That guy is going to be a HC in the league very soon.

That’s EXACTLY how I felt!

Update: Haven’t eaten since last night. Still not hungry. And I worked out this morning.

I don’t see the point in rehashing passing on Mahomes at this point. It’s been done to death. We should have drafted him. We didn’t. Arguing otherwise is ridiculous, but now everyone needs to move on. For the record some of us were calling for the Bills to draft Mahomes. I sure was and I was pissed off when they traded out and let the Chiefs have him. I wanted the Bills to take him - or failing that, the Browns (who I also root for) to trade up for him. Watching neither get him was a bad as watching the Browns trade out with the Bills for Sammy Watkins and both passing on Khalil Mack.

Reid certainly moved up a tier in coaching hierarchy with this win. If he never got the SB win he’d be sitting in the Marty Schottenheimer tier.

That’s a hell of a stat. Wow. ? I looked them up and I didn’t realize that the Chiefs are the only one of the four that didn’t pop their championship cherry this year. Again. Wow. Sure beats seeing the Warriors, Pats/Steelers, Penguins and Yankees/Red Sox win yet another title.

OMG I’m still so stuffed. I feel like I barely ate and I’ve been uncomfortably full since before the opening kickoff.

I live in Williamsville. Prices are up 20-25% from when we bought 7.5 years ago. Homes are not on the market long if they’re priced reasonably.

Why? He’s certainly a proficient runner now. Being a marginally better runner isn’t going to make or break him as a pro QB, his passing is. He should spend his time working on that.
