Number of teams that would choose Tua over Josh Allen: 0 (including the Dolphins)

Sure, but that just happened. The poster was claiming he didn't get invited to the combine because of his RAS score.

Yeah, but they don't assign an RAS score. It is a calculation that needs all the specific combine testing numbers. They would just grade his perceived athleticism.

RAS scores are calculated from the combine testing... He couldn't have gotten it anywhere, because RAS uses combine numbers.

I was hoping for a dishonest discussion.

I'm sure all the teams have illegally colluded and have contracts in place for next free agency. Good point.

Nobody does. But he is still a slot player.

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.
