Incredible. Now is definitely the time to travel. I wouldn't mind having a plane all to myself.
A friend of mine said they found a round trip flight from Los Angeles to Rome for $500. Of course nobody wants to go to Italy right now.
We're on the verge of cancelling a trip to FL to visit an elderly uncle. Use hand sanitizer, don't touch your face, etc. is all well & good, but bringing young kids & a nursing home into the equation could be downright irresponsible.

Asked about his thoughts on Buffalo after he revealed he had met with the team this week, Higgins said their success in 2019 was impressive. He thinks it’s a team ready to break through. “It’s a playoff team,” he said. “It’s real cold up there, but I’m from Tennessee. It gets cold in (here too). But it’s just a team that’s hungry and you can tell they’re pushing for a super bowl soon.”

Josh Gordon - if weed has been his problem, maybe it won't be so much of a problem anymore. Probably the most talented FA WR when healthy, though that's been an issue over the last several years. Allow me to propose the cliche, low-risk, prove it deal.
Breshad Perriman - 1st round dud who did zilch for the better part of 5 years, or 1st round stud who averaged 5-101-1 over his last 5 games? I'd be willing to take a chance on the latter. 2 years @ $19M doesn't seem like too high of a price to find out.
Geronimo Allison - was off to a good start in 2018 (19-289-2 through week 4) before injuries derailed his season. Not sure what happened last year. I wouldn't give up any trade compensation if the Packers tender him, but he could be an upgrade on our roster if they decide to let him walk.

Ha, I dropped Josh Allen & Baker Mayfield for Fitzmagic & Andy Dalton. My opponent's tandem of Deshaun Watson & Jameis Winston was clearly no match.

I'd to agree and expound. I love Brandon Beane, and do think he was an upgrade. We took a clear step backwards last year for the long term. I think if we kept Tyrod and the status qo, we have another 8-9 win season, and possibly back our way into the playoffs again.
That said, I think Doug Whaley was under the pressure to "win now," and wasn't allowed to take that necessary step back year to help build us for the long term. I think he was on a short leash, and wasn't given the freedom that Beane has. Hence the reach for players like Sammy and EJ.
I realize this is an opinion thread, but I have a hard time agreeing that Whaley was under pressure to "win now". EJ was drafted in 2013, Sammy was drafted in 2014, and Whaley wasn't fired until after the 2016 season. That's 4 full years. Whaley was the last person to benefit from Ralph's "next guy in the building's turn to play NFL GM" policy, and gained some extra time due to the new owners' inexperience. The day he was let go was the day I started to billieve again.

Ryan Fitzpatrick - if only to complete the ACFE jersey collection.
In all seriousness I expect Jacoby Brissett. Apparently BB was quite upset at having to turn him loose at the outset.
I'm going with Nick Foles.
Btw, Garoppolo was the QB Belichick hated to lose. I don't think he shed a tear over Brissett.
Two weeks before the Nov. 1 trading deadline, Belichick met with Kraft to discuss the quarterback situation. According to staffers, the meeting ran long, lasting half the day and pushing back Belichick's other meetings. The office was buzzing. The meeting ended with a clear mandate to Belichick: trade Garoppolo because he would not be in the team's long-term plans, and then, once again, find the best quarterback in the draft and develop him. Belichick was furious and demoralized, according to friends. But in the end, he did what he asks of his players and coaches: He did his job.

Why is Breshad Perriman never in this conversation?
People seem to assume he's in line for a monster payday after the way he tore it up over the last 5 games of the season (25-506-5). However, you won't find much buzz about him online, and I think he ends up signing something in the neighborhood of 3 years/$30M. I'd be all for it. He has the traits of a #1 WR, and his recent accomplishments are much more important to me than whatever he did or didn't do in the years prior.

Funny irrelevant fact: Jonathan Taylor & Saquon Barkley both committed to Rutgers before coming to their senses.

You guys are confused. Hooper ripped on Buffalo for having Applebee's as the center of its nightlife, then mowed down some lady with his car.

He is not even that good anymore. This is 2020, not 2013. The guy hasn't played a full season in forever.
I love the off season. Nothing more fun than pawing through all the "Oh, look, a name I recognize..." FA posts.
I think there should be a fine imposed on anyone who, between now and August 1st, uses any of the following phrases in a post:
1. kick the tires
2. change of scenery
3. lunch pail guy
4. veteran leadership
5. high motor
6. takes plays off
7. locker room headache/cancer
8. downhill runner
9. road grader
10. so and so is a great athlete
11. stretches the field
12. character issues
13. tremendous upside
14. high character guy
15. great ball skills
16. sneaky fast
17. plays well in space

Vontaze Burfict would serve as a valuable mentor to our younger, less rule-breaking LBs.

Call me old-fashioned, but I wouldn't hate seeing Jonathan Taylor in a Bills uniform under the conditions the OP described.

Are you saying Brandon's choice of Aaron Maybin as our #1 pick was foolhardy? How dare you...........
Remember kids, RUSS BRANDON, HEAD OF MARKETING, was our GM one season.
Just one year of many when we wished someone would drop an NFL Draft magazine on the GM's desk.

If Gabriel doesn't reunite with Kyle Shanahan in SF I'll be shocked.
Man Trubisky sucks...
That's what I thought when Atlanta released him, but Shanahan's WR corp was in much worse shape then & he didn't go after him. I wouldn't mind the Bills signing him to a reasonable 2-year deal.

I think that Rosen is done in the NFL. I think he doesn't have the presence on the field (Brian Flores called it 'body language') needed to a starting QB in the NFL. I think he's unlikely to get another serious shot at a starting job.
Could be. At the very least, his NFL readiness was severely overestimated.

Good post. Rosen's best outcome is that some team misses out on the QB game of musical chairs and he becomes the consolation prize for a desperate team. He might also get a chance if a team loses a QB in preseason. As unlikely as any of this may be, such is the life of Josh Rosen. Personally, I wasn't high on him coming out of college and I'm not shocked by any of this.
He could make sense for the Chargers or Colts under the circumstances you described. Gruden has never met a QB he didn't like, and Reid & Belichick both have a history of developing backup QBs and trading them for profit.
8 hours ago, Ennjay said:Putting aside I don't give a rat's crap about Miami's QB situation so long as it stays bad:
Joey Harrington comes to mind. Not Jimmy Clausen because a lot (meaning a lot) of people thought he was a marginal talent to begin with and the Carolina situation wasn't as bad as AZ and Miami. (Cue the Notre Dame defenders; ND hasn't produced a decent NFL QB since ... Steve Beuerlein?)
Harrington played behind a crap O-line, but his situation was similar to that of many QBs who get taken early in the draft by teams who stink. I was referring to being drafted by a team with a 1 and done HC, then traded to an (arguably) even worse team after his rookie year. The worst most QBs ever have to deal with in year 2 is a new OC. Of course, back in the days of Harrington, rookie QB salaries were too high for a trade like this to even be considered.

The thing about the “ Wrong Josh” is he seems like a weeney....yet I still feel bad for the kid.
He doesn’t seems like Clausen, it seems like he’s got to At Least be back up material. I agree that he will get at least one more shot but if he ends up in another crappy situation I guess it must be karma.
I know he rubs a lot of fans the wrong way, but IMO the things he's done have been wildly overblown. Who cares if he had an inflatable hot tub in his room? Here's a list of his transgressions: https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2018/4/25/17249082/josh-rosen-draft-ucla-qb-comments

I think the Dolphins were trying to tank without being too obvious. Benching Rosen for Fitzpatrick seemed like a safe short-term plan, but then Fitz started playing well. At that point, having traded away most of their good players & turned Kalen Ballage into their 3-down back (?!?), the coaches may have feared a locker room revolt had they gone back to Rosen. Players generally don't buy into tanking, and if they did, you wouldn't want them on your team. Still, the fact that the 'phins pulled the plug on Rosen so quickly doesn't bode well for his future, at least in Miami's opinion. They'd either seen enough to know there wasn't a future there & didn't want his trade value further diminished by allowing the NFL to see more of him, or the Dolphins don't know what they're doing.
Rosen has every excuse in the book not to have found success to this point, as it's hard to think of another 1st round QB whose first 2 years were played under such adverse circumstances. I won't be shocked if someone takes that into heavy consideration & is willing to take another shot on him.

Please look over this roster Pete Carroll tool over in 2010...
A lot of the same players who took him to a Super Bowl. That team was loaded. Yeah he hit gold in Russell Wilson, who also played with most of that squad, with even better players at some positions.
Now look at the Bills 2017 roster, the craptastic team and McD got them to the playoffs. Ever since Pete has taken over it’s been a place FA desire. They’ve had things going right for them a team built there even before Carroll. So he got lucky drafting Russell Wilson, now he’s a great coach? The rosters McD has had over the past 3 seasons, the difficulties bringing in FAs etc, I doubt Carroll could have done what McD has, at best it’s equal. Carroll ain’t that great.
2010 Seahawks - OL one of the best, Solid TEs, Lynch, good WRs, Secondary one of the best, Great DLine, Curry was one of the best LBs in football at the time.... he took over a franchise is Super Bowl contending shape. McD took over a team that had not made the playoffs in 17 years!
https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/sea/2010_roster.htm
Carroll didn't inherit that 2010 roster; he built it. He was hired in Jan '10 and given full control over personnel. The link below paints a much more accurate picture of what he actually inherited: Matt Hasselbeck, Edgerrin James, TJ Whosyourmama, etc. They were an aging team that had gone 4-11 and 5-12 in the 2 years prior to Carroll's arrival.
https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/sea/2009_roster.htm
This is not to say that he's a better coach than McDermott, but the fact that Carroll is one of the best acquirors of talent in the game shouldn't be held against him.

Bills pre-draft private visits - update: via videoconference
in The Stadium Wall Archives
Posted · Edited by Buffalo86
That's good advice. As far as hand sanitizer, daily subway riding has taught me to a) always have hand sanitizer, and b) always keep one hand clean. To that end, I always use one hand to touch whatever I have to during my daily commute, keep the other hand clean, and sanitize as soon as I get in the office. It's as if the last 20 years have prepared me for this exact moment.
I bet Everclear is enjoying their highest sales in decades.
Also, apologies to all for taking the thread in this direction. Bill pre-draft private visits = good! Please carry on.
