Not with the money this team will use in FA next year. I think that scenario is not very likely.

Why does it force you to buy 2? I will only have one car

Just because it is "elaborated" does not make it true, the cost is NOT minimal, it is significant, a pick and 3.5 million. Minimal would be signing Dez Bryant to a vet minimum deal wihthno guaranteed and then waiving him. And no I dont think that will happen nor would I want it to. How was the potential "incredible"? The guy has been a disappointment with known attitude issues. He demonstrated how emotionally immature he was on hard knocks. The risk was bigger than you say and the upside was less than what you say in my opinion. You make a good point about moving on from a mistake, that is a good thing. At the end of the day this is not a huge deal but I view it as a mistake and not just because he is cut, I thought it was a mistake when the trade happened.

True. I still view it as an awful trade

No. It’s the 3.5 million and dead cap the browns passed onto us while also getting a pick. Lose lose for the bills.

What an awful trade. The browns won on both ends. Dumped the contract of a bum and got a pick for it. Bill look like suckers.

It costs more to waive him....LOL the Bills got taken advantage of here.

In terms of talent then probably true but the thing that gets overlooked is the contract. You cant have a bunch of all pros who are the highest paid at their position, but you can have a bunch of all pro's on your team if you acquire them through the draft. You have to consider the contract.

Tasker

You have to consider a lot in a short period of time before you throw the challenge flag. On a lot of those "line of gain" challenges, they end up being inconclusive. From what I saw he probably got it but there had to be clear irrefutable evidence, not sure we had that on that play.

Hey the Bills have a bunch of talent to choose from come Saturday from all the Bears who are going to get cut who are killing us.

or respecting it

Need an even number, just make it 6 preseason games.

That sounds about right, he is on par with Tyrod who also got a 3rd. I can see the legend of Teddy is still alive and strong.

But it would not define him like it does now. I do get how bad the performance was....it took Tyrod the entire rest of the season to throw the same number. Peterman has some good qualities but his throws to the sideline are a td the other way waiting to happen. Saw it the other night...when things are for real I think he will still struggle. But it looks like he may get the chance to prove that wrong.

He can live it down by playing well......in the regular season.

People actually pay for the protection plan?

It has very little to do with a TD, he has been running as TE2 because he earned it and jumped over O'leary. Nobody is calling him Gronk except Steve. I think Lee makes it because of his blocking ability, they are going to need it. So if can also be an FB that may get him a roster position.

I could see that happening. Can also see Thomas getting cut.

Ducasse, Groy, Miller, Mills are absolute HELL all right!

Henderson is an upgrade over Mills but he is one pee test away from a year ban. Kuoandijo on the other hand is not worth talking about in my opinion.

QFT

He knows where he is going before the snap and nothing stops him from doing that on some plays. DB's guess on those hitches and he will give up pick sixes, that is what Peterman does. It is also what he does well, get rid of the ball in 0.75 seconds cause by 0.76 seconds he will be sacked.

That was a bad contract from day one. But I dont see why you waive him, he is talented and has something to offer. If you are saying we should play the younger guys for experience I guess that is something you could do. I am sure the contract is not tradeable so he is a Bill for one more year.

Great post! What we see on these forums is that a lot people see things as black and white about pretty much everything.
