He is also a slot player, and that's not exactly what we need.

Too old and hurt too much.

Free agency just started. There us also the draft. Trades are a possibility. No reason to panic the 2nd week of March. The roster is currently under construction.

Officially a bust of a 1st round pick. Oh well. Beane really needs to get the 1st and 2nd rounders right more often, starting with this year's draft!

Common sense is to follow the rules because the penalties are lost draft picks and fines. The burden of proof is on your side. Provide some evidence that it happens all the time and most teams do it. I think most teams do follow the rules and are careful what they say to who they might be courting, and the evidence backs that up because there are so few tampering allegations year to year.

Yeah, most GMs will have conversations but they will veil everything and be careful.

I think it does happen. For sure. But I think it happens less than people think. You have a few instances that get out to the press, like this, and people use that to assume that most teams are doing it all the time. That's just a leap in logic and not supported by anything. You can believe that, but there is very little evidence that it happens all the time. It is just a conspiracy theory that fans like to propagate.

Can we wait until at least a week of free agency has gone by before we evaluate it?

The Bills always use their cap space. How have they done nothing with it in the past?

Says who? That's just speculation. And that's a common fallacy that people who break the rules and the law use to justify their actions. If everyone is doing it, it makes it OK for me to do it. But there is not evidence that all the teams are breaking the rules. There's a legal tampering period now.

Pregame penalties? "Personal foul. Pregame penalty. Opposing team looked very aggressive coming out of the tunnel. 15 yard penalty will be assessed on the opening kickoff."

Why? Where is Taron Johnson going?

I'm not sure something like this deserves its own thread. Could have gone in a general FA thread or something. But good to know, I guess.

Hey, that is pretty cheap. A one year prove it deal.

Like, one day of free agency 😂

Again!?

I don't understand what's going on.

That's just bogus 😆 Mack Hollins has 2,000 yards and 15 TDs in his entire 7 year career. Josh Palmer has 2,200 yards and 10 TDs in just 4 years. Palmer has twice the production rate.

For the Patriots??? Lame.

I still enjoy the other successes, like regular season wins, winning the division, getting high seeds in the playoffs, players getting awards and recognition, breaking records, winning playoff games, etc. Of course, it doesn't equal a superbowl win. That trumps everything. But I derive satisfaction and entertainment from the lesser winning as well. It doesn't mean, for me at least, that I am content or that I am fine not winning a superbowl. That is always the goal. But I take a more nuanced approach and allow myself to enjoy the successes as they come.

Herbert is overrated and they had a lot of guys who were pretty similar in caliber to Palmer, I'd say. So the opportunities were spread around a lot.

Decent size, decent speed. Not spectacular.

His advanced metrics are really good. He is a good route runner and separator. He plays on the outside, which is what we need. That price tag is more than I expected, but he obviously had a lot of suitors and the Bills wanted him.

QBs always look their worst playing for the Jets.

Good. Makes the Jets weaker and he is out of the conference.
