Hawkins' pro day was absolutely bonkers. How a guy with those results had to go the CFL route, I'll never know. http://www.nfldraftscout.com/ratings/dsprofile.php?pyid=73738&draftyear=2008&genpos=CB

He'll be right at home then

Draft Sam Darnold in the 4th, where he !@#$ing belongs. Sorry BB

Brian Hoyer leads the Bills to a 4-0 start before suffering a season-ending injury. Cardale plays the remaining games, Bills end 5-11.

Because Matt Cassell takes the first snap again!

Voices in his head and blatant opportunism, me thinks.

I think Raekwon is on the Denzel Perryman-Reggie Ragland spectrum. A guy I'd trust to marshall the troops as a Mike but has some limitations in coverage. Keep him to easy zone assignments and you're fine. Not really slow, per se. Not quick either but they all play fast due to instincts. I like him in the late 2nd/early 3rd range but I think we already have one of him (a better version, recovery pending) and everyone hates that guy now If/when you get round to watching Jarrad Davis, Erik, then we'll talk about a potential SAM.

Not ready to write him off just yet but rookie year wasn't promising. Same situation as Sammy with having screws put in his foot. Maybe he's just not quite there mentally with it yet, especially considering limited in-game reps to test it out.

If you see anything on this subject from BillsWire, they made me do it At least people bother listening to you. The only time I had a source, people ignored it.

The events of the last few weeks have led me to believe that intelligent life doesn't exist in America and the search shall continue in Canada.

Why would you ditch Richburg for a guy held together by parcel tape?

No.

I don't like the guy one bit but I'm not going to railroad him into something he doesn't want. Not to mention, the guy to draft is in the 2018 class. Just !@#$ Crossman off after 2017 and take my boy

Would pay money to watch Mangold run a slant.

Kasay and Hanson were fine kickers in their own right, as Dan had been until the past couple of years. Nothing wrong with valuing experience. Just a mere observation at this point. It's a trend for now but it only takes one move to break that.

The biggest thing it comes down to - does Danny Crossman trust young kickers? In Carolina (07-09) he had John Kasay who was 38, 39 & 40 for those seasons. In Detroit, (10-12) he had Jason Hanson at 40, 41 & 42. In Buffalo so far, Carpenter ages 28 through 31. Nothing suggests he won't go down the vet route. If Carp goes, expect a run at Hauschka or Zuerlein.

Someone needs to learn how the salary cap works. And how to spell Dareus.

Yeah. Got rid of Wilfork, just plugged Branch & Valentine in and barely missed him. Alas, we're not the Pats. I think it should stand for something that he's committed to the team, the city, the fans. Must be something good about Buffalo if he's still buying in after all these years.

On the proviso of drafting another CB by R3, I'd take that deal as a stop-gap. I still think Verner could be a handy player, just never lived up to expectation.

Tough one all around for me. I've been giving this a fair amount of thought recently and I'm pretty sure I'd hate it but I could learn to live with it. The plus points - for a team that's pretty cash-strapped if they keep Tyrod, $6.8m is a lot of money to free up. If this is a rebuild, a 34 year old dude on his last legs probably isn't going to be the difference maker in the long term. It would give the team the best chance at getting some value out of Adolphus Washington. He also has a $500k roster bonus due in mid-March, decision has to be taken quickly (akin to ripping off the plaster nice and early, let people accept it). The down sides - Kyle is the heart and soul of the team, his veteran leadership could be vital in the early stages of what it seems Sean McDermott wants to instill in his charges. He's still a capable player in his twilight years. We don't really have anyone capable of replacing him as a full-time starter just yet so we would need to acquire one early in the draft or a mid-tier FA to at least rotate with Washington. I see the logic if they do it but, if you follow me on Twitter, I'm going to apologise in advance for my language on the day that happens.

Maybe we'll stop getting edited transcripts now

I know someone that's worked with him. She's suitably delighted with this news.

Bye Scott, you awful son of a B word.

I actually think it might help sway the depth guys more than it will the superstars. Guys like Lorenzo have talked about accountability being an issue and I'm sure that festered throughout the roster under Rex. The top guys want the best situation financially but, if you can overwhelm players with your character, you might be able to sway guys that have limited options to come your way.
