Sojourner

Not giving up much for Budda tbh as he’s a FA next year and is playing on the club option because a contract extension couldn’t be worked out prior.

That play should be called “Spiller”. josh almost got his beans spilt all over the 50 of M&T.

totally with you dude, I think it’s just a rumor but something is brewing for him to be taking that action. he’s always been a teammates guy on the sidelines from what I’ve seen. lets say you remove moore, there is still loads of talent there. id say it’s on par with what josh has here; Odunze/Allen/Swift/Kmet/Herbert/Johnson isnt the worst group a rook could be throwing too. an extra early pick next year may even be tempting as they don’t have a 1st or a 4th (unless the fields trade hits the requirements). id give up a 1st and a swap of 2’s… their later pick for our earlier out of the 2 second rounders we each have. Something to keep an eye on for the next 3-4 weeks. If it continues and the bears lose several games the iron may be hot to strike. EDIT: they actually have their own first. don’t know what I was thinking of. Maybe just one of our 2nd’s then?

He’s sat on his own the past 2 games and left the field on his own at the end of the Rams game on top of that. He’s being used exclusive in the short passing game to the extent he had one game last season in which he eclipsed his total production through 4 games this season. It could be just a rumor but a top talent on a franchise isolating himself during game day in the most public portion is very telling that something is wrong.

I’ve been reading talk about DJ Moore being unhappy in Chicago and the rumors are circling that, privately, he wants to be traded. What DJ instead of davante?

so it seems he’s selling shares of each of those that will total $8b and not just the dolphins franchise itself?

He sounds high but the enthusiasm is low.

What about that Vikings pick? essentially a swap of diggs for adams at the price of 2024 6th round and a 2025 5th. If they, like is being asked, take the salary on. the dead cap from stef really would essentially be adams for that earlier trade price. wouldn’t be that bad imho.

thats f-ing wild!

last season it was him and cook splitting the safety job opposite until the playoffs. he was the guy opposite Reid except the game they played us where it was Reid/Chamari Conner. guy can play and has to be an improvement over damar at the free safety. damar, at least to me if he’s playing, is suited at strong safety far better than the free role. sadly, for that role speed and coverage instincts are not something that come to mind when you think of hamlin

I hear you. the hilarity becomes when people state that buffalo are just pretenders and play easy teams. that conversation has happened at least 4 or 5 times with my coworkers alone this week, to which I reference the 43 games of not losing a game by 6+. the record over that span was 32-11. must have been a sh-t load of crap teams we played. outside those who are actual fans of the sport or people paid to talk about sports, the majority of opposing fans only have something to say when they lose. that’s always indicative of a good team.

I understand how it works, loosely enough to cover the allocation of league adjustments to it each year and how teams spend. My point was more that if a team is constantly forcing themselves to restructure everything because they are that far in the hole, what is the actual point of a salary cap to begin with? if buffalo follow what you suggest I don’t think they even come close to being at the level the saints are. which is why, if you’re at that level there should be some form of penalty for egregious financial management.

Between them and the browns, once the season starts I’m seriously not understanding how they have largely the same roster but have been -$20m+ on the salary cap for consecutive seasons… 2025 browns: -$42m 2025 saints: -$97m if the teams look anything like they do this season or even better in terms of players, then what is the actual point of a salary cap. especially for the saints. like you said, declaring bankruptcy is about the only thing you would thing to negate such a financial hole where the “business (players) stays the same”

houston must believe the black uniforms had something to do with why baltimore beat us.

if the shoe fits…. 🥁

Maybe they’re getting a QB? in all seriousness, I read this from mike florio the other day after the whole rashee rice information and thought it might actually be something both teams consider come week 8 depending on where the respective teams are at offensively and in terms of divisional/league standings.

brother… if there’s any player I’d take in a heartbeat, no thought needed, it would be mad maxx.

as it stands right now they have $11.65m in cap space for 2025. jets have a shade under $87m. that’s my reasoning they secure his services; they can pay the wages easily on top of qb familiarity. maybe they factor that cap space for a cheaper alternative next offseason? tee higgins talk again. or do they apply it to another pass rusher? chase young is still intriguing and could be even cheaper than his 1y/$8.6m if he has an average year again.

i just got done reading that and noticed they feel that the texans might have even been the only team in play so they got once heck of a deal it also referenced the whole trayvon “14 need to get up outta there” situation which is hilarious. does anyone post that “7 needs to get up outta there” when the cowboys are on their usual downward spiral?

correct. buffalo is the only team to not throw an INT. 9 teams with 1 so far on the season. Josh/Buffalo has thrown the 4th fewest pass attempts also @ 104

his age and cap hits are my only concern for the 1st round pick. sprinkle it with the attitude that he apparently seems unwilling to play with a “qb he doesn’t know”. a second rounder, sure. but a first I’m not sold on giving up. he’s been very healthy in his career so far. is this recent injury just a decision not to play or is it an actual issue and if so, how serious? will he be out multiple weeks? if it’s 4-6 weeks he’s out that’s a tough trade even for a second. christian watson could be interesting but I doubt GB trades him plus he comes with his own injury problems and can’t be counted upon. maybe michael pittman if indy’s season goes in the pan and richardson is out. prob’ not as he’s leading that team in targets with 29. very few options out there that are attainable for reasonable value.

pretty easy when you trade every piece of talent except your LT, who they overpaid in a trade for anyway. no contracts and a plethora of draft picks… used correctly and you can turn it around. many don’t so that’s credit to the team. even more so being just after the bill obrien tenure. mcd either has the team bounce back or it could be like you said, a horror show. bills edge it 31-24

are markets that big a thing for prime time anymore? I’m sure people are tuning in droves, just as much if not more to watch a chiefs/bengals matchup than a texans/bears or falcons/eagles. not a chide question, actually asking.

1. who knows. i’m sure something would have come out by now. 2. might be right that something is bothering him but the snap counts suggest the coaches feel he’s able to be out there the majority. 3. better start coming up with something more dynamic to stop the teams who want to run. that LB group can all play sideline to sideline. 4. roll with torrence a few more games. he’s had some rough patches but hasn’t been a complete liability like sunday night. 5. i’ve been in the hedge my bet camp on bass but something’s got to give. he either does a complete change or course or you move on asap.
