Gayle may be legally planted to become owner. BUT.. does Gayle have the ability to pay the estate tax? Estate taxes is why Ralph Wilson's daughter didn't get the Bills. It's also why the Cooke family had to sell the Redskins to Daniel Snyder. I think the Saints will be up for sale. Sadly. But people want to tax the rich, and this is a result.

The Jet QB room is veteran heavy, with both Bridgewater and McCown on fresh new big contracts --- this indicates the Jets may be taking the slower route to rebuilding their QB position. I could see them drafting a project type QB to sit on the bench for a few years.

Feeling good about it player wise. Not so confident coaching wise (Daboll).

Because they knew it was weak, but the options were worse.

None of the UFA QB's wanted to pay NY state income tax. Truth hurts.

The Patsies are going to draft him?

Imagine a dinner date---of Casserly and Nancy Pelosi.

Dang! The QB market is nuts. bad knees Bradford, 1 year, 20 mil slightly above average Cousins, 3 years 86 mil below average Taylor, almost a 2nd round draft pick (in context, Cleveland looks smart with this move) below average 39 year old McCown, 1 year 10 mil elderman and Wonderlic wonder Ryan Fitzpatrick is still employed four start unknown McCarron is a leader for the Bills bridge QB duties Kaepernick fans have been re-energized then there is Foles

I know Cousins was a long shot for Buffalo. But I kind of expected a visit.

In Organization Behavior, there is a model called "Success to the Successful" That is Beane. He's been successful all off season. Each of his moves benefited from the quan of his prior successful move. Nice to be off the "losses to the losers" model.

How Beane dresses for work.

Lolz... go away The league year hasn't even opened yet.

It did work out for him here. He was a perennial backup in Baltimore. In Buffalo, he proved to be starter material. ..just not our future starter material..

The correlation is sky high. Highly successful entertainers with stage fright (a form of anxiety) comes to mind. Also, another poster suggested KW suffered from bipolar disorder. I could see that. Makes me wonder... do the Bills have a team Psychologist? If not, they should. Many millennial pro athletes could use some life coaching.

When you see the countless posts looking to sell the estate to trade up and draft that magical "franchise" QB, -- it makes you wonder: maybe deliberate tanking would have been a wise approach to the 2017 season. (given the Watkins and Darby trades, one can argue the tank was on) If the Bills tanked: we wouldn't be talking about trading multiple first rounders plus other picks/players for a shot at Darnold, Rosen, Mayfield et al. We'd be talking about which to choose with our naturally given draft choice. What happened: the Bills played balls to the wall. I believe they exceeded their potential and got lucky. They made the playoffs and earned a less than mid-first round draft pick. Would you have rather tanked (and pick a franchise QB without selling the farm), or made the playoffs? Me? I'm glad the Bills went all-in and made the playoffs, that goes so far in building a winning culture for the future. Also I look at the Sabres suckitude and can't help but feel once you tank, it's hard to wash the stench of losing out of the locker room.

If they pickup a QB in free agency (not an impossibility) I could easily see them trading down with 21, then making a selection with 22. Having said that, I hope they trade up for Darnold/Rosen/Mayfield.

All these big athletes, they write off everything. Reminds me of a Seinfeld: Kramer: "It's a write-off for them." Jerry: "How is it a write-off?" Kramer: "They just write it off." Jerry: "Write it off what?" Kramer: "Jerry, all these big companies, they write off everything." Jerry: "You don't even know what a write-off is." "Do you?" Kramer: "No, I don't." "But they do. And they're the ones writing it off."

Gronk does not fit the process. He's a me me type of player. He's not a McBean style team player.

Congrats to her. What a cute girl... too young for me. I wonder if her mother is hot and single.

Let's look at Russ Brandon... because as they say in the Army: There's no horse dead enough that it can't be kicked some more.

I think McBeane et al. will be calm. If draft things don't roll right, the fall back plan will be another year of Tyrod, which while not great, it's not a GM career killer.

I just read another op-ed (Bills road map to trading up) that said the top 4 picks are good enough. I'd be OK if the Bills traded into the top four for Mayfield/Rosen/Darnold. Agree with the tone of your post: don't freak out if the football people do their thing, and that thing may not be a QB.

Smokescreen. Moving from the cesspool (from a family point of view) of New England, to the land of milk & honey is a no brainer. McD is postured to be the next HC of the patsies.

Buffalo is an NFL town. To wit: the #1 TV ratings for the Super Bowl---and the better regular season attendance (those who actually go to the game) than many teams in wake of kneeling-gate. Yet again at the Spring meetings, the league will say that Buffalo needs a new stadium to pull their weight as a partner. I hope Pegs tells them to pack sand: Buffalo does more than it's share pulling in viewers and putting butts in seats, with ticketing and licensing revenue probably exceeding at least 4 other teams.

I don't think "drafting around" someone who later turns out to be stellar is a gaffe of infamy. It's just a garden variety oops. Despite pundits that make it seem like you can evaluate players to the tenth of a degree--the draft is pretty much a crapshoot. Also, I don't think the future success of a traded player is gaffe of infamy. Who cares? They're gone. What is important is the production you got on your end of the trade. Bills most frequent gaffes of infamy, IMO, come in awarding star money contracts to players who turn out to be mediocre at best. That's a gaffe of infamy because the player had a track record and the future is somewhat predictable--you should have known better---and you louse up future year salary caps.
