Wow. Talk about an overpay. Good for Diggs. I'm sure other teams were not willing to pay that.

I was obviously talking about the cap. 30 million in dead cap does hurt the team.

There are negative fans here who will dislike any analysis that says the Bills are good. They are heavily biased, just as there are some who are heavily biased the other way.

Come on. They certainly know a lot more than you do. And on Diggs, it didn't make sense from a cap perspective at all. The move hurt the team. That's why it seemed impossible.

Gosh, that is terrible. Obviously being paralyzed is terrible for anyone, but to be so physically gifted to be able to play pro sports and then to lose your physical abilities like that. I'm sure that was really hard to deal with. RIP.

I don't do any.

Does the Diggs 1st rounder count? Also, considering many of those teams in the top 10 suck, is this indicative of success do you think?

So, don't listen. Easy fix.

He turned into Sam Darnold for a second...

I do think he was an undesirable starter. But what evidence do you have that he was the worst starting safety of all 32 teams? I mean, I'm not denying that, but that is a pretty strong statement, so I wondered if you looked at all the starters for the other teams and compared them somehow.

We usually do. Yes. It is simple economics. The time value of money. A dollar today is worth more than a dollar tomorrow.

And shifty. And the difference about his shiftiness is he did it at full speed while moving down the field, like changing directions didn't slow him down at all. I'm always amazed when watching his highlights.

It's obviously cap. Because they kicked the can down the road with void years and how they structured contracts.

Based on what? Just your eye test?

I'd like to see Keon play with more urgency.

Simpson was ridiculously good...

In 2024 Josh Allen's cap hit was $30.4 million. They restructured him last year and pushed money into later years like they usually do, but not quite the full amount they could have, if I remember correctly.

I guess we'll see. Let Beane figure it out.

There isn't really a team in the NFL that doesn't have needs, though, on both sides of the ball.

The narrative that Josh Allen is doing everything by himself and has no help has always been false. For one thing, the Bills have built a very good oline in front of him. They've made trades for big name receivers (Diggs and Cooper), they've been more balanced on offense and gotten good running production. The narrative is just false and always has been. Edit: All the normal contrarians reacting negatively, I see 😆

That is not slow for cornerbacks. Hamlin isn't slow. Rapp plays faster than his 40 time suggests, I think. His slow 40 time was a surprise. Look, we don't have a bunch of burners, but they are not slow as a group. It just isn't the case. Go around the league and look at 40 times for corners and safeties and you'll see that ours are perfectly average.

4th? He is a great 3rd safety and a good spot starter. You can do a lot worse than Hamlin.

I moved on. It is a new season.

We really don't. Christian Benford has good speed. He has an 8.14 RAS. Good size and athleticism. Cole Bishop is very athletic and fast. He has an RAS of 9.82. Even Damar Hamlin was a decent athlete with an RAS of 7. He wasn't slow or unathletic like some claim. Evan Cam Lewis is fast. He ran a 4.44 40 time. He is plenty athletic. Taylor Rapp is probably a little slow, I'll give you that. Elam was very explosive, but he is gone now and he sucked anyway. So, there isn't any truth to the Bills secondary being slow or unathletic. That is just a myth.

Starters aren't determined by their draft round. Taron Johnson is a great starter. So is Benford.
