...."don't you know who I am"...

More man coverage and blitzing....I'll see it to believe it?

....no urinal cakes....

It's all that hill running after ice cream...happens every time.

Any trade would likely not involve Greg. But I could easily see Bosa dealt or maybe a AJE/ Solomon pkg? And the report says it doesn't necessarily have to be a DE. Obviously all speculation but interesting to consider.

Story by Jarrett Bailey Buffalo Bills get compensation update on potential Trey Hendrickson trade Aug 18, 2025, 7:16 AM PDT Buffalo Bills get compensation update on potential Trey Hendrickson trade originally appeared on The Sporting News The Cincinnati Bengals have been in a months-long standoff with star edge rusher Trey Hendrickson. The 2024 sack king has made it clear he isn't playing on the final year of his contract, and wants a long-term deal with more guaranteed money. And while the Buffalo Bills signed Joey Bosa to a one-year deal and recently extended Greg Rousseau, this is a move they should be all over. It was reported on Sunday that the Bengals were now listening to trade offers for Hendrickson, and now they expected trade compensation has been revealed. "Teams that have recently inquired about Bengals star Trey Hendrickson were told Cincinnati’s asking price included a young defensive player and a 2026 first-round pick, according to league sources," Dianna Russini reports. "The player heading back does not have to be a pass rusher." Considering the Bills' lack of success at the top of the draft over the last five years, trading a first-round pick shouldn't worry Brandon Beane or Bills fans - especially when you're in win-now mode like the Bills are. Send the pick, as well as any defender the Bengals want not named Christian Benford or Terrel Bernard and call it a day.

Who knows....someday Sam might be available.

I agree....its a foolish and careless strategy in dealing with maybe the most important room (wr) on the team outside of qb. We've wasted millions on wrs who we either can't develop or have no clue how to use. I like Shavers but is this kid ever going to get a chance?....if not than put him out of his misery and cut him. The money we wasted on Samuel/ Moore/Claypool etc, we could've just kept Hollins. I have no faith anymore in the wr decisions made by leadership. It's gotten comical.

Diggs was for 4 regular seasons a pro bowl caliber wr. His regular season stats reflect this. But his 9 playoff games with Buffalo were terrible. His success and catch % plummet in the playoffs. He wasn't clutch when we needed him most.

Josh has had a lesser cast since 2018. The offensive help that never came was wasted on failed defensive picks. This organization has had opportunities to trade up for quality wrs and has chosen not to. Shakir is our only reliable wr. We honestly don't know what we have in Coleman or Palmer? Samuel & Moore look like bust signings. And now we're considering Gabe which just reeks of desperation. The old expression "there's no-one to blame but yourself" definitely applies here to OBD.

Ben Johnson with Josh and Schwartz as our DC would've been a real nice combo. But that ship has sailed 🛳.

Both Bishop & Kincaid will be Utah busts. While Josh is in his prime, we just afford these high pick misses. When we settle for blatantly mediocre players like Hamlin or the possible return of Gabe, we send a message to our fanbase that knowing the system takes precedent over playmakers.

Hoping Shenault and Shavers make this team. I'll have to trust the staff to decide what to do with Moore and Samuel? Also love to see Wilkerson make the PS.

....and there's your winning answer...

Shavers & Wilkerson have impressed me more than Samuel & Moore. And the more I watch Bishop fail, the more sad I get re: we could've used that pick to get BTJ.

Then they're idiots

Yup, can't believe how poorly they've both played....along with a slew of dbs.

I'm keeping him over Cod...Cod serves no purpose as a CB.

This fairy-tale story of Hamlin needs to end. I don't even want him as depth.

42

Shavers reminds me of Hollins. Nothing spectacular but steady and consistent.

I know we should stop drafting Clemson players....maybe add Utah to that list.

Hot knife thru warm butter

All it would've taken is give up the Bishop pick and BTJ would've been ours. Embarrassing....

Max....get well soon!
