The great thing about the combine is all the stories/refutes that come out. It's officially Lying Season people. Don't buy any "rumor".

He's just a competitive guy.

Slick Rick from the mailroom needs to step it the hell up.

I just hope he has fun and makes new friends.

What is ironic is that the generic [Misleading Title] is often more generic or misleading than the original title.

Doesn't look like surgery is happening.

That's where I would like to see transparency. Mic the refs. Let's hear the discussion. Show the replay booth as well so we can hear the process on some of these calls that are upheld/overturned. I think that's where a chunk of distrust comes from. The big decisions are made in the shadows.

It's nice to see but ultimately most teams meet with a lot of players at the combine. It's kind of footballs version of speed dating.

First off, nice goal post moving. Truly top notch. The "no brainier" comment I made had to do with rework his deal and kick in some void years. No where did I claim to be "all in" or some Allen expert. YOU brought up the cap number and I refuted that with how to easily and financially fit him under the cap at a value price. Why is it a no brainier? Because if you care about dead cap hits 5 years from now...hell I don't even know if I'll be alive 5 years from now to care about it. Allen has requested a trade. The Commanders have granted permission. I have (several times) explained how managing his cap hit is feasible. You can scroll back up. If you need to know why Johnathan Allen would help our poor DL...I suggest you try and actually watch football. You seem more interested in grandstanding then actually having a conversation. Something I no longer do with those unable or unwilling to grasp easy and often used concepts. You can have whatever last word you want. I won't even see it. Go Bills Finally, you ask questions that due to me not being in the front office of the Commanders or Bills would be impossible to answer as some kinda of "gotcha" or things you could easily find out for yourself with a 3 minute Google search. I would suggest however if you can't comprehend why reworking a guy on a 1 year deal would be something both sides would want to do...maybe you aren't the Master Strategist you claim to be. Maybe with the way you move goalposts and want to bait people to argue...you should switch the second half of your name to "Baiter". Be more fitting.

They won the Super Bowl. Maybe you were boycotting? And yes, they drafted the DL well. They also had picks that didn't pan out and took the opportunity when it was available to upgrade through trades. As an example, they whiffed on Jalen Reagor in the first round. Went on to trade for AJ Brown. Had a weakness a few years back at CB. Made a move for Slay. Those are the types of trades that take a team from good to Super. And again, that "$16M salary" can EASILY be redone to lower the cap hit to almost nothing. He's in the last year of his deal and would likely like some new guarantees. It's a no brainier. When all is said and done you can work that contract to less of a cap hit then the #30 overall pick is slotted to make.

For the Bills.

Have to remember, for years that's all we had here. It was the guys like Fred Jackson that started at Coe and worked hard to get to where he was. The spunky punter rising to the face of the media guide. Stuff like that was all we had. The Hamlin story was awesome while it happened and I'm thankful it turned out the way it did. But it does get aggravating hearing about it and seeing every time he does something on the field they have to launch into the story again even years later. My God, let the kid move on in life. Also, wasn't it Doyle that played through the injury (ACL tear?) in the Miami game where we lost everyone else to heat stroke? He toughed it out on one leg? That's what I think people like him for.

I believe he was and even at the time Beane went out of his way saying he didn't blame the Commanders leadership...it was JD's agent/advisors. Basically how I remember it, we made an offer and Washington did at the same time at a lower price. MCKissic has told his agents he wanted to stay in Washington, so they withheld the Commanders offer until he had agreed to Buffalo's deal verbally. Agent tried for the better payday rather than clients wishes. Once MCKissic found out about the Commanders offer he flipped to that as it was his preferred place all along. Wasn't the Commanders trying to swoop in.

Cue the other typical fan response 'we can't afford it ..." Simple. You rework his deal. Add some void years. I don't even know if I'll be alive in 2030 so I really couldn't care less about "dead cap" 5-6 years from now. Look at Philadelphia. Learn from that.

And? It's called void years. It's completely doable. With plenty left to spare.

Lol..wasn't talking about in Cleveland. But I think realistically, Allen could be had for a mid round pick coming off the injury. Buy low. Re work his deal and it wouldn't be prohibitive at all IMO.

Up to $15M a year. Actually lower than I thought but would be. Only $32M in guaranteed cash? This is a win.

Missed 9 games last year with a pectoral injury. Good force inside when healthy. Last year of his contract and is a $22M cap hit for Washington. Looked really good in the playoffs for Washington last year.

While I agree with that, Garrett, Oliver and Groot won't always be in the field. And Oliver still leaves the middle soft vs the run. Still need that big body inside.

I'm sure the words used by McDermott directly to Coleman in private were a bit more colorful than the ones he flashed to the media. But I'm glad McDermott acknowledged they didn't get enough out of him and he needs to improve. Keon is going to have to earn his role next year.

Shelling out the picks to get a Garrett does, however limit the likelihood of having the picks to find a DT that makes an impact in the draft. And I don't see the FA market deep there.

Considerably more skill needed than a kneel down at the end of a half or game. No one looking to ban that. It's not that much higher of a conversation rate than a normal QB sneak or a RB dive on 3rd or 4th and short. Teams are slowly starting to figure it out now.

I would have guessed Washington. Doesn't matter. They aren't likely to have the support to pass it.

Maybe. Maybe not. Stay tuned!

6 games played in the last 2 years and coming of an ACL. Hard pass. We already have Milano for that role
