I wouldn't get too upset about his tweets. Beane is smart enough to know its a ploy. They know Cook's value. Its somewhere between 9-10 million a year. He isnt as good as Barkley, McCaffrey or Jacobs. He doesnt give you nearly what Kamara gives the Saints in the passing game. He is a 2 down back who struggles in pass protection. You dont pay runningbacks who play 47% of the snaps 15-20 million dollars a year. The Bills are playing with all the cards here. He's under contract for next season. They can trade him but dont have to. They can keep him on the roster and gradually reduce his carry share to Ray Davis. Or he can hold out. In any of those scenarios the Bills dont have to pay him. In any of those scenarios Cook still remains a 26, going on 27 year old running back who isnt worth the money he wants and likely wont get it.

They should have been interested in him in 2019 when he originally hit free agency. Now he is 32 and at the end of his career.

Depends on what the criteria is. If its strictly based on output and impact on the games its Mario Williams. If its both that and longevity in a Bills uniform its Schobel. For me its Mario Williams.

Welcome to silly season in the NFL. My poor Raiders' fan brother in law. He woke up thinking he was getting Stafford.

He is in the final year of his deal. Maybe they think they can get younger at the position, save $18 million on the cap, and improve other positions.

The thing is its quite clear what they are doing. The problem is adults who still want to be teenagers and fit in are easily fooled.

No the owners daughter was all about him. He made way too many appearances on her social media. Thats the point I was making.

So you think everyone's opinions hold the same weight? Even if they've shown they are completely useless? LAME

McDermott absolutely ran the 2017 draft. White and Dawkins were his picks. Whaley and Monos were absolute clowns. Whaley should have spent more time trying to find a QB and less time with the owners daughter.

Far be it from me to criticize the Memphis Showboats GM but McDermott and Beane have been here longer than Monos was in the NFL. So essentially, his opinion is about as good as Deleware Don's. Screw this guy.

I would trade him as well. Good back but he has trouble staying on the field on third downs. Good player not great. They need to focus on getting a #1 WR and an Edge who can disrupt games.

Not surprised in the least. They've had way too many injuries over the last few seasons. They need a new plan.

These are the type of threads no one comes to complain about how the Bills value high character too much. Go figure.

It's just really early morning.

We really have to stop this narrative. Reid is one of the best offensive coaches of all time but he isn't revolutionizing offense. Part of his genius is calling the right play at the right time but part of it is drafting great players. Scheme and players are symbiotic one doesn't work without the other. Let's just call a spade a spade with Worthy and Coleman, one guy is running by people in the Superbowl, and the other is a jump ball specialist who can't run a fade route. It's not only about scheme and it's not only about talent. That said, that does Coleman do that's elite? He can't get off press. He hasn't shown he has reliable hands. He isn't fast. And he can't run a full route tree. Scheme doesn't fix that.

Gotta love the millionaire rapper who just happens to be playing the biggest show on planet Earth playing the "America doesnt like me" card.

Dude they literally picked top 15 in 3 of the last 4 drafts. What am I lying about?

Is Smith not a difference maker on there team. My God man.

Every team has aging, average vets who take up minutes because they know the system. The salary cap necessitates that. They arent supposed to be difference makers. The Bills have a Von Miller, Daquan Jones, Dawson Knox and Matt Milano issue. Guys who take up way too much of the cap who are either always injured or dont make enough of a difference.

Why do you have to go in on Phillips? Guy wasnt even on the roster to start the season. If you want to be mad at a DT look at Daquan Jones and Ed Oliver, guys they pay tons of money to do a job they cant get done. Jordan Phillps is so far from the issue on this team.

And they'd have 10 right now if Mahomes wasnt throwing them the ball in the redzone.

Again this year doesnt count because they havent drafted anyone yet. So the last four years they 11-6, 14-3, 9-8, and 4-11. But keep pretending they didnt have very high draft picks. Carter was picked 9th. Davis was 13th. Smith was 10th. But yes, all because of trades.

So what you're saying is if the Eagles hadnt picked in the top 15 for 3 straight years they would have still had Smtih, Carter and Davis? Their Dline would still be this dominant?

Looks a lot like the TB Super Bowl. Just need to get to him.

Now thats some arm arrogance.
