    Yea I didn't love it as a list either. But I do think they had Barkley pitched right. Agree with you about Geno in the top 12. That is bonkers. As is the idea that Tim Boyle is the real backup in Green Bay. Sitting your 1st round pick behind Aaron Rodgers is one thing.... if Rodgers goes down, Love is playing, The reason Boyle is getting 2nd team reps the first week of camp is the typical "make the rookie earn it" thing. Even Pat Mahomes took 3rd string reps early in his first camp.

    Barkley has actually put in credible performances in the last 5 years unlike half that list. 

     

    The top 6 makes sense. Then it's a joke. 

     

    Smith, Flacco, Henne, Daniel, Siemian. 11 to 15? When was the last time any of those did anything? Barkley is no worse than any of those based on performances in the last 5 years.

     

    It shows that numerical lists of these sorts are really really pointless. They should group them into types of players and have a few standout names at the top and bottom. 

     

    Then you get the likes of Kyle Allen at 21. A guy who actually looked competent in games recently. He should easily be top 10.

     

    Beyond the top 6. You would get a better ranking if you just selected names at random

    NFL has ranked Barkley 27/32 today for what it is worth. 

    That list is utterly laughable. It has Geno Smith in the top 12 and Tim Boyle, a QB who has thrown 4 NFL passes in the top 20. You just need to read the comments about some of the QBs to know how bad it is. The Henne one for example is just absurd. 

     

    I'm genuinely surprised that article passed the editorial process

    For context, $14M salary this year would make Milano the 12th highest paid LB in the league.  Even excluding guys on their rookie deals still, Milano is not close to being the 12th best LB in the league.

    But in terms of value to a team, he is close to it. The Bills system is one of the most LB dependent in the entire league

    Would we get a comp pick if we let Milano walk? Turn a 5th round pick into a 3rd round pick

    Only if you release more qualifying FAs than you sign. So you'd need to release a lot more players than just Milano

    Yeah, but they don't know any more about the deal that either you or him. 

    I'll let people judge the probability of all of them being wrong and 1 person on a forum being right

    What "journos" you follow.  Schefter specifically said he is under through 2024:

     

    2020: Year 1

    2021: Year 2

    2022: Year 3

    2023: Year 4

    2024: Year 5

    The local beat reporters and cap tracking jounalists

    This feels like a dumb decision to me. I would think that he has trade value

    You don't think the team might just have tried that route before they cut him?

    A bit weird at this point as Morse doesn't have a BU with Feliciano hurt and Long Cut.

    Bates.

    Are there any that we’re expecting based on health/family members health?

     

     

    Also, I can’t help but wonder about what others have said..... are these guys going to avoid going anywhere and self quarantine and get tested for the duration of the season? It almost seems like being in the facility has its advantages for avoiding this.

    I’d be surprised to see anyone other than Diggs and honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if they snubbed Tre. Times are a changing but I still don’t think we get love as having any top players. 

    Hyde was in the 60s as a Bill in 2018,so he's a virtual lock. Same with White, you don't get 1st team All Pro at a high profile position and not get on the top 100

    D.K. Metcalf is 81?

    In the latter half of the season he was becoming a massive threat, it's a bit high but with recent games in mind, it doesn't surprise me 

  8. I think revolt is completely the wrong word to use. 

     

    The players are the ones taking the risks if they play, and when you look at how strict the sporting pre cautions are for sports like soccer, cricket and f1 in countries with far fewer infections, you can understand why they are taking a stand.

  9. It doesn't make sense for the Titans. You are paying top price, with no idea of how bad the financial situation will be next season and a seriously good rookie just drafted. Very few recent big contracts have been worth the money. They should have just kept the tag.
