He used the 8th overall pick for Decaf when he could have taken Cook in the 2nd or Kamara or Hunt. Hard to say that the pick was well spent.

That article didn't go into much detail, maybe I missed it. During a video session last year Belichick highlighted Gronk on a play where he was unable to hold the edge and made a comment about resistance bands not helping him on that one. Gronk had stopped doing squat and "normal" lifting that the team trainers instruct the players to do. From all the local stuff, even from some of the biggest homers ( Tom Curran) a rift does exist and the players and coach have no interest in closing it. My guess is Kraft steps in and gets them to play nice for one last run.

I wasn't before. That pick is one Shady injury away from being a top 5.

The only worry is that his delay in retiring foiled their replacement plans.

Wasn't half either.

I don't see anyone being outraged by the news, it's something to talk about a few weeks before the draft. He could have handled it and timed it better but as folks have said should we have expected anything but drama from RI. If his money is freed up then they can find an adequate replacement in FA or once cuts start in camps. The Bills are deprived of talent on both fronts and it's worth a mention. Beane has his hands full.

Sitting firm at 80/1 for the SB of it drops I will let yah know! side note: if you can stomach the penguins they are 10/1 nice odds for guys that can close.

What are the cap implications? Does this free up the money he would have made or is it somehow "dead money"

Take the Bills front 7 on D and take their 5 starting olinemen, does any other team have weaker lines than the Bills do right now?

The news on his health was bad but 1.25 million more bucks would have cured it? Yikes.

See how Wood retired. See how RI retired. Note the difference in fans reactions. Heck Wood just got a big signing bonus and walked away from the game, fans still supported the player.

Bleh, have some class big boy and get off the twitter machine. You SIGNED the contract yah big dummy.

Health comes first but if you give me 15 percent more I will ignore my own health? Seems like sour grapes, the pay cut and his buddy Wood retiring and being challenged for his signing bonus.

I don't think it changes your draft plans but it puts a damper on the expectations for 18. The Bills have an overachieving secondary, a good (old) RB and a good field goal kicker.

The Bills need to look after their own interests not an individual players. It may be best that they trade Shady for another second round pick and rebuild properly.

Reminds me of Zach Brown

He is close with EWood, are the Bills fighting Wood for the signing bonus? Was that ever clarified? That wouldn't help his opinion of the team. He is on his last legs IDC either way, just reinforces how crazy it would be to include the 19' first rounder in any trade up scenario.

Shady is on the back 9, if the Bills keep all their picks I hope they go BPA. Chubb is Ray Rice without the elevator incident.

Chubb is BPA

Luck still isn't throwing, makes yah think they should be considering taking a QB for themselves.

Did anyone else know what this was before they opened it?

WWLMD What Would Lamar's Mom Do.

Hot Dog.

Gruden is a hard ass but he is not a fool. I don't see it happening.

Jackson Payne Chark I would go full Whaley on Beaner if he comes away with that type of haul. #pukeface
