People need to understand cutting Araiza isn't that simple in regards to the NFLPA. My guess is they wait until Kern or another punter comes available and then they just swap him out.

Exactly what it sounds like.... what do you want him to do; go all Rex Ryan and start spouting nonsense? He's obviously distressed over the situation, and he is not in any position to take sides due to the potential fallout regardless.

I'm also guessing Beane is working at what he can do to fix this situation and find the truth. One thing for certain, I doubt they give a great review of the PI.

I'm guessing Araiza's agent and he gave a far more mild interpretation of what happened and the Bills PI saw the cops were sitting on it and signed off on it being a likely non-factor. Then all this info comes out and McD, who seemed to really like Araiza, suddenly has a bombshell drop on him that those allegations that seemed unlikely may have actually been true and that the kid he's been working with and getting close with might very well be a despicable person who raped an underaged girl. It's that betrayal that is a huge gut punch.

Here's a thought, to avoid the NFLPA problem, just wait until Tennessee cuts Kern and sign him. Then you can just give a good BS answer to keep the NFLPA off our back too.

The NFL can't suspend him but the NFLPA can go after the Bills because he is currently a player in the NFL on an NFL contract and as such a member of the PA. The Cutting would be now, not back then.

I wonder if the NFLPA is also involved with the whole issue. If they cut him; the NFLPA would file a grievance since its a Civil Lawsuit not a Criminal Case

So the Bills are trusting the lawyer and their player over an accuser which isn't a huge surprise. Haack wasn't good so him being cut wasn't really a huge indication. To be honest it feels as if guilty or not; the supposed victim definitely has an ax to grind with Matt but whether its for legitimate reasons remains to be seen.

Well this certainly isn't good; although is she angling for money due to the fear of not winning a criminal case? Seeing as a civil case is easier to achieve restitution with than a criminal case. Why was his college sitting on it for 10 months? Well, I guess we should start working out some more punters.

Kumerow to Packers for a pick Howard and Crowder are also possible trade candidates

Watson was still paid for last season so it wouldn’t equal a full season suspension. Additionally he stated that he refused to play for the Texans so it’d be hard to argue it was a team imposed suspension

What I'd say is Allen has the potential and can be scarier than any other QB in the league due to the fact that at his best he can personally wreck a defense between throwing and running like no other. Allen has the Fullback-esc size over Mahomes.

I believe players either receive a hat from every team they visit or the camera crew brings 1 from every team.

Based on his interviews he probably couldn't of made him more attractive to McBeane if started yelling "Process" when he walked in the door. He sounds like a guy who has a bit of tweaking needed but a ton of raw attributes and a good head on his shoulders. While the trade up might of been a tad drastic; I'll take getting the guy I want over getting conservative and missing out. The likelihood of pick 25 + our 4th being more valuable to this team than Elam is rather slim. For all we know someone tried to trade up with Baltimore with a 26 or 27 and their 5th and the Bills merely upped it enough to win.

Here's something that may hint that Dallas planned to take him. His Dad played for them and Jones likes drafting those types of players.

While not a wow pick, he's a capable CB who has a sub-4.40 and isn't a stick. Coach him up McD

I’d say it would sound akin to this.

My guess is they intend to trade the pick and thus see no reason to host a party only to have the whole purpose for the party not actually happen.

I think you have to look at it this way, yes Frasier made 2 bad calls but it ends up both on the players and the coach. If Farwell was told to kick it short and somehow failed to make sure that all 11 players got the message then that’s almost entirely on him. He has arguably the smallest number of players to keep informed on every ST play and yet he somehow failed to give his kicker the play

Not really interested in any of them with their present situations. Toney scares me as why would he be on the block after 1 year aside from major red flags. Barkley’s contract is too big and he’s constantly hurt. He hasn’t even looked great since last year pre-injury. Bradberry I’d take if he’s released by the Giants. Keep his cap hit sub 9mil though seeing as he’d be CB2

I’d just wait until June 2nd, then there would be tangible cap gained

That's part of it Cupped pepperoni In-between Chicago Deep-dish and NY style flat pizza

Giants fans say he's very unreliable

Anyone who doesn't have orthodox or "old school" view on offensive play calling. I don't want to see runs on 1st and 2nd down in all situations or any of that run to open up the pass garbage. We need innovative. So Daboll but without the weird random onset run obsessions or strange need to get cute at times.

Did McD and the coaches choke, yes. But that was all Reid was known for until his time with Mahomes. A coach can learn and adjust; McD has grown over time himself. I do hope McD takes the blame, after all he shouldn’t be fired for this and it would give further credence to his 1 out of 11 mantra. In this case the plus coaches area screwed up while trying to prevent Mahomes from going down the field. For all we know the defense just wasn’t sure how to cover Hill + Kelce in this unusual situation. It’s not exactly a common situation to have the opposing team have 3 TOs and two of the best targets in the game. I have tried to figure out what the best plan for the defense would of been and end up slightly concerned regardless. If you run a traditional defense you run the risk of them going over the top with either of their major targets. If you rush less than 4, Mahomes likely has more time to wait and thus throw a longer pass. It honestly felt as if the Bills were hoping KC would kill their own clock by waiting for a long pass or by throwing multiple short ones. My suggestion would of been to rush 3 with Rousseau, Oliver, and either Hughes or Phillips. Have 8 guys in coverage with 6 DBs and 2 LBs. Have Edmunds and Milano line up at the line against Kelce and Hill and bump them off the snap. Don’t hold since that isn’t allowed anymore but just give them a thump. After that have the other 6 DBs play a protective umbrella with the LBs “covering” the two big targets. The bump should kill 1 second more. By keeping an LB following the two main targets you are looking for more sure tacklers but also to merely force Mahomes to put a little more air under the pass. Essentially do everything you can to keep them throwing shortish but while trying to make them waste time by preventing “Go” routes. Hell, use Hill’s running ability against them by trying to give an illusion of space so he runs around a little.
