Bobby Douglass era for da Bears - ha ha LOL!!!

My prediction - the first time Gilmore blows a coverage and points at Poyer, Hyde or White should be priceless!

So how many games did we win with Shady and Josh in 2018? This team had OJ, Thurman, Marshawn, Fred Jackson and Shady and won nothing. It is a QB league! Bills need a 3rd down option now that Beasley is gone. Duke is a very good 3rd down back.

@GunnerBill I thought so but he failed in slot in MIN and played pretty well outside in KC last year. He did fall down on Gabe's 3rd TD ion AFC Divisional - cruel Gabe did that to fellow UCF alum!

I wonder if Mike Hughes is a candidate. Zone heavy background in MIN and started late last year for KC. Believe he was a team mate of Gabe Davis at UFC

IMHO most likely Bates competes fopr RG starting spot with Ford (if still here), this signee and a C/G mid-round draftee. Bills have spoke with a half dozen or more IOLs at Combine / Sr Bowl etc.

They do need backups. And unlikely OBD loses Bates as we have right to match any offer. It likely comes down to whether Dorsey and Kromer want Bates in new scheme more than anything else.

Same source. Per game averages. And only 5 TDs over 2 seasons. Pass for me. Good college player who didn't translate to pro game - it happens

If 4 catches for 40 yds and 1 rush for 4 yds is a go to player then you would be correct. I would expect much better to trade for him.

Lets look at his combine scores to start. Slow 40 for a WR, especially a gadget guy. Did not do agility drills due to lingering injuries. He was used at all 3 WR positions at Colorado but has not shown same position flexibility in NFL. Basically a slow footed slot WR. Not a hybrid RB like Samuel or Patterson. 0 TDs last year. No ST return ability. Would have trouble getting on the field here.

Just watched and saw Oilers fumble the punt inside of 2 mins. So Bills had blocked punt, blocked FG and fumble recovery on STs. Also had 2 missed FGs. Man the Bills offense was anemic in 1988

Went to this game and sat at midfield 20 rows up behind Bills bench. The group behind us were all dressed in Oilers garb - Mike Munchak's family. He was an All Pro guard for Houston. The only play I remember is a blocked punt by Bills

Would be a no for me. At $5mm per year Gates would be in top 50% of league by position. Can't see someone giving him this on 5 games worth of film. Bills could have assured a 2nd rd pick by offering him $4mm and chose not to. Have to believe that OBD feels confident they can keep him at a cost acceptable to them.

It was Vic Carrucci and he said it was via an insider at Colts HQ. He implied it was not a Frank Reich move but owner interference.

Can someone make sure he gets the locker space next to Shaq Lawson

Was listening to Sirius NFL network around 11:30 am today. They stated the Colts cutting Wentz was directly related to his choosing to not get Covid Vaccine. And that Irsay the owner drove decision. Makes me wonder if their antivax positions and subsequent loss of games played by Star, Beasley and Feliciano led to their releases.

RIP John. A gentleman in a profession sorely lacking in them.

Benjamin and Corey Coleman were trades for WRs when we had none - worse than FA signings imho

Great minds think alike my friend

I will say Poyer and Hyde. Pressure equals bad throws equals INTs. The more the merrier.

We restructured him prior to 2020 guaranteeing his next 2 years base salary. As he opted out in 2020 that year did not count. So he has a cap hit of $7.7mm made up of $5.1mm guaranteed base and $2.6mm prorated signing bonus. This is the predicament. Per NFLPA agreement When a player is released (or retires), the team is relieved of having the pay the player's base salary (P5) and any Roster Bonus that may become due after that, but still will need to account for any Signing or Option Bonus prorations that haven't yet counted against the Salary Cap.

I am at a loss here. Does this mean we play a 4-3 as our base now because our front 4 is better? Wouldn't we be inclined to stay with our base nickel even more so?

Really a weak player. Smallish to be a border CB. He has only 25 starts with 2 teams with poor pass defenses. MIN didn't elect to re-sign at end of first contract and have decided to pass on him again after 1 yr deal. And CIN let him go after 10 starts in 2020. Its a pass for me.

Good question. Was his college # as an Aggie.

Shaq Lawson to the front please? Shaq Lawson?
