Sorry you have not followed this. They never gave Whaley any power. Real GM's hire the coach. Whaley did not hire any coaches. Brandon lorded over Whaley on his first draft that resulted in Watkins. Whaley wanted Hue Jackson. Brandon wanted Rex. He got Rex. Whaley wanted A Lynn. Pegs wanted McDictator. He got McD. He drafted for ea coach sys to then need to draft for new sys when coach was replaced and/or coordinators replaced. flip flopping d 3-4 to 4-3 to 3-4. o changes etc etc..... McDictator then says Whaley and staff did a phenomenal job. KC GM says deal was setup with Whaley. Pegs admitted Whaley did the whole draft. While media whispers Pegs privately admitting to friends he maybe should have gone with Lynn. Then booted him hours after his phenomenal draft ended. On a Sunday in am..saying decision was made after a process, after draft, a draft that just ended a few hours ago. Pegs saying no GM candidates have been considered yet and next day Panthers GM Beane interview is reported in the works. Only a tone deaf person would think McDermott did not have a hand in Whaley fired or that the decision was not make weeks ago before draft. regardless of what dictionary you look up the word in. This is all poor integrity. Whaley made mistakes and arguably could be said he needed to move on. But to do him like this was wrong. He was powerless. Then Coach working side by side with a guy he knows is fired just to ring out the draft is low life corp world behavior we live in. Don't get me wrong. I hope McDermott aces this gig. But the start stinks.

A lot of nice comments on this thread, however, no one seems to answer my origional question. Would you do what I propose, if NFL allows it, in order to get the 3rd rounder or not?

in·teg·ri·ty inˈteɡrədē/ noun noun: integrity 1. the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness. "he is known to be a man of integrity" synonyms: honesty, probity, rectitude, honor, good character, principle(s), ethics, morals, righteousness, morality, virtue, decency, fairness, scrupulousness, sincerity, truthfulness, trustworthiness "I never doubted his integrity" Not one part of above describes what McDictator and Pegs did to Whaley. Regardless if you liked Whaley or not. So it would not surpise me in the least if what has been rumored could be true in regards to draft data poaching.

I hope D Williams works out. He has come back form a long tough place since his playing days ended. A good feel good story here.

That is funny taken on a non racial satirical context. Thanks. Wonder where he did his internships? On a serious note. Congrats Cardale Jones.

Here again we have proof message board posters are very smart. AND funny at the same time. Nice job.

Deadline for 2018 compensatory picks is coming. Bills right now are -5 and +7 so in line for ZERO picks. ZERO to show for loss of very good Gilmore/Woods/Brown. If -5 and +4 they would get 3rd rounder. https://overthecap.com/compensatory-...llation-chart/ http://www.buffalorumblings.com/2017...icks-nfl-draft All the -5 are going to make their teams so Bills could still get 2018 3rd rounder if they cut 3. V Duc. R Davis and A Holmes could be cut on deadline day. Would only cost Bills 3.65 million in cap space for guaranteed portions. They could then offer them same contract next day. Big win for players. They keep guaranteed portions of old contract and get another of same amounts. (this has to be not allowed by NFL right? anyone know?) Question is if NFL allows this why would you not do it? These guys are not difference makers and Bills would get 3rd rounder that could be sweetener needed to trade up for 2018 QB(Darnold?) For just 3.65 cap hit you get 2018 3rd rounder in projected deep QB class. You know heartless bastard(Belicheck) would not blink an eye doing this(of course we all know he would have never been in this hole to start with. Look at Pats comps on site) Would our new heartless bastard (McDictator) do this? Would you? Seems like a win win for all, players and team. A 3rd round pick(especially in this scenario) for just 3.65 million cap space seems like value.

As other have pointed out. Why come down on these few when they are doing the same as ticket brokers? Which teams actively sell to and allow. Either allow it or ban it for everyone. Why doesn't the team just take some tickets they planned on selling to brokers themselves, and sell them to the waiting list? PS: I do find satisfaction for the idiot who sold all his games for about 4 yrs and now trying to claim medical excuse for 2016.That is the kind of lowlife person this "sting" should be intended to weed out. I do agree it is very unrealistic to expect a season ticket holder to be able to attend every game in their package every year.

This has train wreck written all over it. I can't wait. Should be fun.

We never said Two Bills drive posters are not smart. Good job.

I would pass on any of those who count against the compensatory pick formula. As it stands if Bills would cut two of the FA they signed they would be in line to get a 3rd round compensatory draft pick next year.https://overthecap.com/compensatory-draft-picks-cancellation-chart/ now it updated. Blanton does not count. Bills need to cut 3. It could happen.

Classic. Thanks.

It starts with "One" McDictator. PS: Will this work on "TWO" Bills Drive?

That is a loaded question. too many variables. Does Belicheck and their roster come with Brady? If Brady comes with all the Pats cheating I will take Kelly every time. I would never want the scandals and doubt about most of their winning. Bills were a dead NFL fanchise. Kelly is who brought them back to national prominance and fit in in Buffalo better than Brady ever could have. Right man for the right time.

Sadly. Yes. The truth hurts. Sorry. next time I will be more direct in my criticism. Why would anyone be happy with a list of player numbers instead of the player names? You don't need to answer. Have great day.

McDictator will make him an offer he can not refuse. He will not unlock the interrogation room until he signs. This TE has no chance going up against McChokehold.

And Bandits, and Amerks are considering moving out of Rochester. Mayby Pegs will buy the Bisons and they could use some direction. Put him in charge of all of it. It could be called "the Axis" if 3 teams or "Pegasus Sports" if more, w McDictator in charge. New marketing slogan. "This is not our Waterloo" "Stalingrad was misremembered" "Don't open a new front in winter" "We never win in winter anyway" "Winter is overrated" When will these guys learn bringing in all the guys from your previous team that that previous team does not want, never works. Ask Rex. And yet they all do it in all sports. Just to show ea case is unique I will admit, aside from my negativity above, this TE does look like an outlier in my scenario and could really help the Bills. There!, this board is kind of like a self help support group. Thanks.

Are you the guy who came up with the idea for Bears schedule reveal?

Man TP would have fired you too. It's Barfly. Get it right. Carry on... and says last Draft's on you.

Whaley did it.

McDictator McDick if he did the dirty to Whaley. McFail if it all goes bad.

We are firing UP!

McDictator. I will hold judgment until he wins a game as a HC and shows he can game manage. If he was behind the dirty they did Whaley, he will be OK if he wins.

McD gives me a lot of confidence although he takes a negative hit for the role(charade) he played in shitting on Whaley. For that he fits right in with Bills dysfunction. Lets remember both Pegs and McD both said Whaley did 2017 draft. When all injured get back from 2016 draft and 2017 pans out we will see how good Whaley did. I can not give McD a glowing report until he wins a game as a HC. And shows he can manage a game properly, not like Jauron and Rex and Maronne who failed at that miserably.Then needs to have a winning record next to gain full support. I like his going down fighting talk and if he actually does that he will earn a lot of respect that those guys punting on 4th and 4 from inside opposing 41 yd line lose repeatedly. Bottom line is if he wins he will be loved.

Take care DW. Thanks for improving this roster by leaps and bounds from the Nix Jauron days.You will be fine in your next job if they give you the power and control a normal GM is given.
