To me it seems like he plays great when he’s 100% fresh, and then as soon as he’s playing with any kind of wear & tear, he drops off the map. Am I wrong? I’m guessing we’ll eventually hear he was playing the last 8 games with an ankle sprain or something.

Does someone have the video? gimme the drama, LOL agreed - the teams are always in the power position because they hold the money. The waiver system applies to all teams, and therefore we had the right to claim him. I've always found the system a bit strange to be honest, but it's the same rules for everybody.

so we would technically retain his rights for the next season if he doesn't show? I get that it doesn't seem that useful, but who knows maybe get a 7th in the end?

Does anyone know, is it possible to trade him to the Eagles? I guess not because the trade deadline has passed?

I don't agree with the "blow it up" concept at all, but they should be really examining why our guys drop like flies. Also, why they can't play in the heat. Shouldn't the sports science department be doing better on that one?

It's true, and as annoying as it is to lose games, especially like this, teams with perfect seasons are pretty rare.... The Chiefs are 3-3 and the Ravens are 1-5, so I would say we're in okay shape right now. This team won't give up.

Me too. I love the player and I think his brother his pushing him to do all this. I don't think he would get his BIGGEST possible deal in Buffalo, but I do think they would give him an extension. Now it's looking doubtful, given Beane's consistency in dealing with his own players.

As soon as this stuff starts, it's hard for it to go right.....

Right, and I understand the player's union negotiating for their players. I personally just thinks it puts them in a precarious position since it's not looked upon favorably if a player skips the voluntary workouts.

I've always wondered why the players get this option to be honest, it just blurs the lines. They're making multimillions in a sport where every competitive advantage is meaningful, so there's your answer. They're allowed to miss it technically, but it doesn't show well.

It is actually what he said, the headline is just as dramatic as it can be. That’s the news… haha I credit Beane’s honesty, while not throwing players under the bus, even when he doesn’t like their behavior.

I wouldn't assess the show that way myself. I would describe it as a pro-Bills show - Chris Brown and Steve Tasker are essentially Bills fans commenting on various team-related topics. I personally think the opinions they present are their own, just Bills-positive. I'm okay with that. When you step into main-stream sports media, it's far worse - a bunch of jackasses trying to create controversy....staged arguments or "bold predictions" meant to rile people up. I'd rather listen to Brown and Tasker and have a laugh.

I remember him complaining about it. I think his reasoning was identification purposes when reading defenses.

It does help that we got Christian Benford in the 5th round of the same draft.... If he was our 1st round pick, would we be upset with the outcome? And we get his 5th back to boot. LOL

For anyone complaining - 1. It's a one year deal for probably not that much money 2. He was a starter in this defense all season (meaning they know what they have, and he's a reliable option) That means - if we find a replacement, he's ideal depth. If we don't find a replacement, the spot is at least covered. Plus he's a great guy, not a bad bonus.
