Doc Brown

Maybe. You'd have to find a trade partner willing to deal with that player though. The league seems to be doing everything possible right now for those who don't get the vaccine to make life as uncomfortable to them as possible. Getting tested once a week > Getting tested daily. That along with peer pressure makes me think at least 95% of players will get vaccinated.

Not used to this. Fifteen years of being a sleeper in the 16 to 25 range is my comfort zone.

A message to the fringe players to get vaccinated. Smart. Really.

I have a feeling the vast majority who watch him on a regular basis aren't getting the vaccine regardless. Still. This "just asking questions" shtick is pretty transparent.

My favorite Churchill quote. "If Hitler invaded Hell, I would make at least a favorable reference to the Devil in the House of Commons."

Don't they usually alternate home/away the first week of the season? Week 1 - @Jax 1:00 Week 2 - Jets 1:00 Week 3 - Pats - MNF Week 4 - @Saints - 1:00 Week 5 - Pitt - 1:00 Week 6 - @TB - 4:25 Week 7 - Fins - 1:00 Week 8 - @Jets - TNF Week 9 - ATL - 1:00 Week 10 - Bye Week 11 - @KC - SNF Week 12 - CAR - 1:00 Week 13 - @Fins - 4:25 Week 14 - WFT - 1:00 Week 15 - Colts - Flexed to Saturday Week 16 - @Titans 1:00 Week 17 - @Pats 4:15 (could be flexed)

Investing is gambling too. Just better odds and usually a lesser return.

Not really at DE. Carlos Dunlap in his prime maybe? The often forgotten Eagles DE opposite Reggie White. Cortez Kennedy holding the mantle so maybe he's destined to wreak havoc inside. Brandin Bryant already had #90. I don't mind 96 but if 99 were to open up for some reason I'd jump on it.

Just for fun from last year around the same time.....we got the #5 pick. We still had Etienee mocked to us.

Pry should've invested in that dog coin.

I remember the hype about Favre going back to Lambeau just as nauseating.

True. Although I'd argue the NFL does a better job than any other league in creating parody though in various ways (hard cap, schedule design, no lottery draft, etc.) than any other league.

Just shows how much better the NFL is run than any other professional sports league. People get excited about a schedule release.

JOK had a heart condition that apparently constituted the slide. Pry cost him around 10 million bucks in total contract value and no chance at a 5th year option.

So polls are mostly bunk but let me explain the results.

Main difference is pry the injuries. Vander Esch missed 13 games in the last to years. They drafted LB's though in Parsons and Cox.

Wish they had a live feed to the room when the Jags drafted Etienne. Something I'll always wonder about.

Probably not but if they spent a 1st or 2nd round pick on a LB I'd be more inclined to guess they wouldn't pick up the option and make this a make or break year for him.

That and the inexplicable selection to the Pro Bowl this year makes the decision a few million dollars harder.

I feared a turnaround for the Browns when they hired Stefanski and got Baker into that offense. Luckily, the NFC North is so stacked that even if they win the division they'll pry be injury plagued by the time the playoffs come around. Patriots always benefited from a banged up Steelers or Ravens team over the years come playoff time.

He was only selected to one pro bowl on the original ballot so the 5th year option will be 12.791M. I'd see him wanting a four year extension or new deal like White, Dawkins and Milano got. It's hard to project contracts but my guess is he'd demand 27 to 30 million guaranteed. That might be enough of a difference to convince him to sign an extension if we do pick up his option. He could very well bet on himself but there's always that injury concern like you said.

I made a mistake and read it wrong. It's actually projected to be 17.425M next year according to overthecap. About bout a 4.7M dollar difference. More digestible though.

True but we're not sure if the Bills will be able to afford franchising him at this point. The cap is expected to take a significant jump from 2022 to 2023 so I lean to be on the safe side and just pick up his option now.

The franchise tag for a LB is projected to be around $19M next season. A $7M dollar difference. I doubt they put the franchise tag on him next offseason unless he has a monster 2021 season. They'll most likely either have to sign him long term or let him walk after this season if they don't pick up the 5th year option.

Now that the draft is over and the Bills have until Monday to decide on whether to pick up his 12.791M dollar 5th year option for the 2022 season. Was interested to see where fans stood on this.
