Not sure what the hell Beane was thinking with the Coleman trade. Did the same garbage with Kaelin Clay last year.

Glad the Bills didnt get into a bidding war. The Bears got absolutely fleeced. The market for Mack should have been closer to what the Patriots got for Chandler Jones and that wasnt even a first. Only a few players in the league are worth more than one first and they are both quarterbacks. If Trubisky sucks the Bears will have a long hole to climb out of

He was arrested last year. But the cornerback who just got out of prison is Sean Smith.

I'll bet the under on this one. Carolina's depth isn't all that great and at this point the Bills backups are almost all players Beane or McDermott hand selected. 1 at most. Could see them bringing in Daryl Worley at CB if the Raiders cut him though.

Not sure why everyone is getting on the guys case for bringing this up. Lawson has literally played DT in this scheme, both during the season last year and during this preseason. I agree. They should be moving him around because he doesnt have the first step to be a pass rusher.

Licht loves him some Ryan Griffin. It seems like every time he speaks about his quarterbacks, whether Griffin is asked about or not, he works his name in there. The Glazers made a big mistake bringing Koetter and Licht back this year.

Raiders dont need Clay, they have Jared Cook. Similar player who makes 2 million less a year.

Hoping they keep him as his skill set is different than anyone else we have. Wont be upset either way, but if I had to choose between him or Ray Ray, I'd keep Coleman.

You think the Bills should take a shot?

I'd be very surprised if they cut Coleman. I think he and Zay played a lot last night because they haven't had enough reps to get ready to play during the season. I also think if it comes down to either him or McCloud for the final wideout spot you keep the 4.3, 1st round talent guy, over the 4.53 6th round talent guy. My surprise cuts would be McCarron and Bodine.

I would have paid him in a second. He is currently slotted as the 19th highest paid Quarterback in the league. The benefit of signing a player like that stretches far beyond play on the field. He has been through the same situation as Allen is going through now, and could teach a him a lot. Peterman brings none of that. Its the NFL, Quarterbacks get paid a lot of money. Even the mid range starters

Pretty sure he is still PS eligible with only 2 accrued seasons.

He is a 5 '9 180 pound guy who runs a 4.53 40. He looks like he should be fast but isnt.

One of the worst coaches in the league. One of the reasons I don't worry much about Darnold is Bowles. Similar to Hue Jackson playing Baker tonight and sitting Drew.Stanton.

He gets 2 million this year and 2.1 next year if he ends up a post 6\1 roster cut. Not bad for 5 months of work eh?

Maybe that's why McCarron didn't bother running down the fella on the pick six. Gotta protect the texting thumb. Gonna need it asking old coaches for a new job Saturday

They had a press conference to announce his signing. He wore a suit. If I can find a.picture of him and McBeane holding a #10 Bills jersey, we could complete in wrapping it up as the biggest joke FA signing in Bills history.

Not sure who ends up looking like the bigger idiot after this. McCarron for giving up a job where he literally had to do nothing but watch football from the sidelines every Sunday to being unemployed. Or the Bills for eating 4.1 million dollars in salary cap space for him to be unemployed. McCarron, Newhouse, and Bodine all look like giant misses.

They have to do something at swing tackle. If it's not Deondre Wesley it's someone from another team because Newhouse.and McDermot are horrendous.

Would love to see the 1st and 2nd round wideouts we have on the field get any sort of separation from the scout team cornerbacks.

Good hustle there A.J.

I honestly could care less who our Quarterbacks coach is. You hear every year how a team brought in a storied Quarterbacks coach to work on so and so's footwork and its made a world of difference, and then so and so goes back out and does what he did the year before. Why, because so and so wasn't good and a coach wasnt going to change that enough to turn him into Tom Brady all of the sudden. Five teams have rookie quarterbacks picked in the 1st round of this years draft. If you look at who those teams employ as their quarterback's coach, you'll see coaches with anywhere from 1 year experience as a QB's coach (Arizona) to guys who have 12 years experience as a QB's coach (Cleveland). Outside of Culley, those other guys have coached 24 players who have started games in the league. 7 of those 24 have been successful, around 30%. Which is the exact success rate you'd expect when drafting a Quarterback from college. Long story short, these players come into the league with the talent to be good or to fail, 70% of the time they fail regardless of coaching.

Not to mention the other guy they traded away who was found outside of a police station shirtless screaming for his Mother. Idiots play on every team.

Absolutely not! When you look at what the trade market has been on pass rushers over the past 3 years this is a gross over pay. If any GM is considering this they need to be fired ASAP. I think the Mack thing has gotten to the point where the want for the trade to happen has outweighed common sense. Over the last three seasons two edge rushers close in age, statistical output and talent have been traded and they didnt fetch anything close to 1 1st round pick let alone two: If you look below Chandler Jones was younger, and as productive or more when traded by NE to Arizona. Player Age Gms Tack Sack FF PD INT Tack/GM Sack/GM FF/GM PD/GM INT/GM Mack 27 64 231 40.5 9 11 1 3.609375 0.632813 0.140625 0.17 0.015 Jones 25 52 134 36 0 9 1 2.576923 0.692308 0 0.17 0.019 Quinn 28 95 175 62.5 21 16 0 1.842105 0.657895 0.221053 0.16 0 If you look at what Arizona and Miami gave up to procure Jones and Quinn respectively, the value was nowhere near one 1st round pick. Player Value Points Received by Previous Team Value Points Spent by Current Team Adjusted Player Value by Round Jones Arizona Sent NE 292 Value Points (2nd Round 61) NE Sent 0 picks in return to Arizona Chandler Jones' adjusted value is then 292 (2nd Round 61) Quinn Miami Sent LAR 38 (4th 135) & 20.6 (6th 176) a total of 58.6 value points. LAR sent Miami 7.4 (6th 209) value points in addition to Quinn Robert Quinn's adjusted value is then 51.2 (4th 121) Bottom line is Oakland knows it will eventually resign Mack. But, if in the mean time they can fleece a team for the player based on his name recognition they would be glad to do so.

Would not be the first time and it will not be the last.
