Pretty talent group down there. The Rams, oh my. They are most definitely playing for the 1 pick next year, and the opportunity to keep the college quarterback in LA.

I don’t think we’re seeing how loaded the Bills are. Money has been spent to bring the baseline of talent to a pretty high level across the field, on all three sides of the football. Sims complained that paying good players is the same as having average players. I mean, huhhh..?? I listen to the show, and they say many silly things. They need to fill the time, and Florio especially, gets on a tangent and can’t shut up, and that leads him down some semi bizarre conversation with himself about this and that.

Life is short and he may want to travel around for Jessica’s tournaments. I wonder how things are going to be with ownership and the team over the next decade. Unforeseen circumstances, sadly.

You know, if Mrs. Pegula isn’t doing well and things continue on that path, there is going to be a lot of pain in the building for Mr. Pegula to endure. I could see good reason for him selling. He expected her to bury him, not the other way around. Devastating for their family.

Where receivers go to die. I don’t mind this. He’ll get hurt, or pissy about the lack of targets/catch rate. Unless he knows something nobody else knows, he’s expecting 8 to be his quarterback, and LJ will have completion totals averaging in the teens, which is where you want them if your John Harbaugh because that means his attempts are in the 20s, and there’s more running going on than passing. Lamar Jackson has a couple huge games a year, and those completely cloud the media’s mind with greatness (as a thrower…) and we all hear that and kind of believe. Unless he built a private indoor facility and he’s training like crazy to become a better passer, which I doubt he is, this isn’t going to end well for either player.

I just have to say, the Bills are putting their money where their mouth is. Sure, there isn’t a splashy offensive lineman yet, but pieces are coming in, and that’s how you build a team. Depth.

The NFL wants CEOs for QBs. An offensive lineman or linebacker is no standard for what’s expected of these high profile quarterbacks. Again, an owner has to feel comfortable with agent-less, endorsement-less Jackson as its franchise face. The NFL wants exactly the same. Because they’re one in the same. So far, Baltimore isn’t comfortable with that deal. I think the transparency of this whole situation would be fascinating to read about. It is not about play on the field as much as it’s about giving a player’s mom $200 million.

He’s going to sit on $32.4 mil until he’s ready to accept $45 mil for this season. Then, next year we do this all over again. i will say this though, the NFL off season is more interesting than all the other sports going on right now combined. LJ and Rodgers are filling up hours upon hours of talk show content.

He’s not a passer! What is this myth by all those that think Lamar is getting screwed out of money. If he was so good, where’s the money?? Truth is he was really lucky the Ravens transformed their entire offense to play to his strength, and both sides won. The Ravens were cool with continuing that, and consider his injuries (which no one cannot ignore), and sign him to a contract last year. Now, who wants him?? If he’s so freaking good, and such a great passer, who wants the fastest quarterback in the NFL?? Right now Lamar is colluding with Lamar. Obviously.

The ballsiest move and the only right move based on how things played out the last two years was to trade him after year three. Let someone else have the headache. I don’t care the age, it’s football, and honestly it’s not that hard. He has the physical tools, but unless he can simplify his thoughts and NOT think, his greatest asset is taking up space and making the QB avoid throwing in his area. I don’t know.. that’s nice, but the Bills 100% whiffed here all things considered.

I think it’s unquestioned that most love the guy. He plays hard and fights for yardage. He looks good in spots, stretches. I like it when it’s in the game. I know he gets twice as much out of it than he should. Testament to HIM. If he had the speed, this wouldn’t be a topic because the Bills wouldn’t be in a quandary of IF to pay him.. It would be WHAT to pay him. This is nobody’s fault. Singletary just isn’t a game changing back worth keeping instead of attempting to get more explosive on offense. Remember that Dalvin Cook 80 yard touchdown last year that came out of nowhere and in hindsight pretty much blindsided the Bills. Bills need that, or die trying to find it. Feel for Singletary, Beane might be looking at this as a Good bye, but no other team is taking him, so it’s a release, and he signs for dirt cheap on another squad. Wish him the best.

I’d be happy with any Bills player who can tackle for a loss. But what they have on the roster now at LB — cannot stand. Draft or free agency to come.

Perine. I know it’s over, but not Perine. Throw money at him until he says yes.

Yes, he was the center piece of that offense. And he’s a very physical back. He should’ve been an all time great. His size and speed and cro magnon toughness was unique. My assumption is he wasn’t obsessed with staying in shape in the off season.

He didn’t do his position any favors for being such a high profile player with a World of talent hit the wall so hard after year three. Not good for RBs that deserve more $$ Edit: he had more good years than I thought

JJ wants out because he’s quarterback is a very difficult person to be around. He also wants better play from that position. If he wants out or Payton doesn’t like him, could be a red flag.

He’s a great player. Much better defense with him on it. This is difference maker.

Are we really saying Ekeler doesn’t fit? You make him fit. It’s what coaches are supposed to do — make your best players the best they can be. That’s like saying we don’t know how Allen fits. With #30, Allen can go deep all he wants, Ekeler would own everything from the line of scrimmage to the sticks. Look how great he’s been with the Chargers. He should be even better if on the Bills. The offense would be sooo good with Ekeler.

Ekeler would be a set it and forget it guy in ALL situations. I don’t see him as an I got paid, I’m not playing a 100% either. He’s at the top of the NFL player’s food chain.

whatever happen there…??!!

That’s all we need… more culture. So the Bengals, Chiefs, and Jags can stomp on us like a bug.

Ekeler is no joke. We can say that McCaffrey is an all around better back, but if you said it was Ekeler, I wouldn’t disagree. He doesn’t miss games, and he’s an excellent short yardage and goaline back. He is absolutely complete.

Not a Jeudy fan. He’s soft, and tends to highlight himself despite the lack of highlights. Don’t like those guys. He is also fragile. We need rookie deals more than overpaying or play to rent this guy.

Nudge up the board

Runningbacks would be solved for the next four years. And there will be injuries. Make Nines a special teamer and one of the best backups who can rotate in to spell. Use him in the slot. I don’t know.. they didn’t do anything with him on offense last year even though he was plug and play.
