Did Bernard , Shakir and Rousseau go to social media asking for money? Or did they handle it like professionals?
No they didn't. Not every player is the same. Just cause a guy has an ego and goes about wanting a new contract in different way, doesn't mean the fanbase has to run him out of town.

No- But I don't think the boss would be particularly pleased if their workers complained on social media that they want more money.
I get it's not the end of the world and maybe I'm old school. (Even though I'm only 34 years old). But I think going to social media with contract stuff is just immature and isn't the right way to approach it
It's the way it is now with pro sports. Most don't make a big deal about it except this fanbase.

He will always be guilty in my eyes. Then I can move on from the trade.
We doing pretty good compared to the rest of the world.I don't care about the off field stuff. If he wins a Super Bowl or is a dominant WR then it's still a bad trade.

Oh, young man, your reading comprehension seems to be lacking. I truly don't care what he's done, but it DOES make him look childish. It also makes anyone else who does the same look childish as well.
If he re-signs, he re-signs. If he doesn't, he doesn't. If he gets traded, he gets traded. If he leaves in FA next year, he leaves in FA next year. I did not claim my belief is gospel either, I said it was my belief. You young whippersnappers don't have to see it my way and I am good with that. I can take my belief all the way with me to get my Senior breakfast at Denny's in the morning.
That's the way the league is now. I've never seen a fanbase so old school in my life. Many are so anti diva

Bringing this thread back to first page so all can admire how the Bills are building with their new generation of core players.
Skakir, Bernard, Rosseau. Sweet.
And as another thread said, now Benford.
It's great they are signing their new core. I'm not sold they will ever win with this core either. While they are very good to great players and have the Buffalo culture, they lack that elite ability.

I would say pretty well. Other than Von, who was not drafted by them, can't think of a one that got in trouble. Maybe except when Zay Jones went nuts that time, but I don't think BBB drafted him.
I'm not talking about guys staying out of trouble. I'm talking about winning Super Bowls by avoiding these type of guys.

BBB knew what he was doing. They simply don't draft guys who don't fit the DNA.
How's that working out for them?

Where are the posters who chastised Beane for trading down with the big bad rival Chiefs? Show yourselves.
What a sick ****
Choking out someone is incredibly dangerous and should be an attempted murder charge, not an assault. I bet it was a woman too. The Chiefs are easily the biggest scumbag team I’ve ever witnessed. My hate for them has exceeded the Patriots by a landslide.
While I don't agree with what he did, I have no issues taking guys like that if it ends up with Super Bowl wins.

Turns out Beane was right… What a trash 🗑️ team KC is… scumbags all over that roster.
I will take guys like this any day if they win Super Bowls. Being a blue collar, bring you lunch pail to work team hasn't won anything.

IMO a lot of the underwhelming views come from, how hyped many were for Kincaid. From his scouting report and the draft, fans were hoping for that elite TE and to be the Gronk of the Bills.
He's going to be a very good player, I don't think he is going to a standout like many hoped.
-
I'm surprised they are selling as well as they are. Back when it first was announced there was a lot of backlash and many who weren't going to pay the PSL.

That’s what it is now. The Bills don’t care about people reselling seats. They haven’t in at least the 25 years that I’ve had them.
Its how it was around the league til recently. Teams seem to be cracking down big on re sellers now. Look at the Lions who revoked a fans ticket for selling most of his tickets. I can them cracking down on those who sell more than half of their tickets
-
If the plan is to sell all seats to season ticket holders, how strict will the Bills be in terms of fans selling their tickets?

If I was the Bills I would have taken a flyer on Deebo. Especially for a 5th. Yeah he had a down year but so did a lot of 49ers.

Later in the Draft? Have you met James Cook, Khalil Shakir, Christian Benford, Spencer Brown, Terrel Bernard, and O'Cyrus Torrence? Not to mention Dion Dawkins and Matt Milano coming here a couple weeks before he arrived. And Tremaine Edmunds in Round 1, who went on to sign a 72m contract with the Bears. Greg Rousseau has exceeded where he was picked. Ed Oliver is not nearly the failure this board makes him out to be (truly feel that Jones being completely washed this year played into his being neutralized with double teams).
Yes, Elam was a miss. Yes, Kincaid had a disappointing Sophomore season. But this idea that this regime is terrible at Drafting is overblown. Josh Allen or not, we wouldn't be consistently competing if we didn't have hits. And every team has misses - that's the nature of the Draft.
I'm not saying any of those guys are horrible or that Beane is bad a drafting. All those guys are very good players. I'm saying that he hasn't hit on many game breakers. IMO it's due to how they draft.
I have said it before, they will take a project that is hardworking over a projected blue chipper if he has ego issues.

Can you explain why the teams and NFL have a problem with STH selling most of their tickets? The team has already gotten the money from those tickets, they’ve already been sold, so why does it matter?
I don't know why, especially when you have to go through them to sell the tickets. They make sure to put in the fine print when you buy tickets.
If you have seasons but 2 tickets and you sell some, it's not a big deal
My guess is it's those who have like multiple tickets and sell the majority to make a profit each year.
-
@BillsFanForever19 yes it's much harder to find that elite talent later in the draft. Somehow other teams manage. IMO why Beane doesn't find those players is due to putting a heavy focus on culture and scheme fit over talent.

Seems like if you really cared about cultivating international fans you would make the tickets available to local fans. The NFL clearly has data that there's more money to be made selling to Americans traveling. Penny wise dollar foolish move, another one of those corporate moves that's just about short term dollars and not building longer term.
I disagree. My guess is local fans were buying them but a lot were buying them to re sell them.

We're 10+m over the cap. You're talking about signing 3 of the Top 10 Free Agents available. You act like that's something that other GM's pull off. When do you ever see that?
Osa Odighizuwa is a DT, not a DE. And he's expected to cost 90+m by himself - https://www.star-telegram.com/sports/nfl/dallas-cowboys/article300983019.html
Even with restructures, void years, and lowering the hit in Year 1 - we're still paying a big cap hit in Year 1 for each. It's not realistic.
Then you better hope Beane finds that in the draft. Something he hasn't done much of.

The narrative that Beane has been reluctant to make moves is simply untrue because Beane has given up multiple draft picks to make a move. He's also traded players to get picks that he then used to move up more . How do you think he acquired Josh Allen? I believe he may have given up one or more picks to acquire Tremaine Edmund in that same draft. He also gave up multiple picks, including the 2021 Bills' first rounder, to get Diggs in 2020.
You and several other posters who seem to hate on Beane have selective amnesia when it comes to Beane's work as Bills GM. Acquiring Josh Allen was the greatest coup in Bills history, and probably among best in NFL history. NFL history is littered with examples of big armed college QBs taken in the first round who crashed and burned in the NFL, including many with far more polish than Allen when he was drafted. Maybe the reason that Beane hasn't taken any more big swings in the draft is that there hasn't been a player he believes is worth doing so. It may also be that the Bills haven't been able to find trade partners. Nobody outside of the Bills FO know that.
It's not just trading of picks, outside of Diggs and Miller, he really hasn't gone big in FA either. Mostly mid tier guys to fill holes. While it keeps them competitive every season, it takes bottled lightening and a lot of luck to win a Super Bowl.
I would sign Holland at Safety,
Osa Odighizuwa at Defensive End
D.J. Reed for CB
If you're worried about cap space restructure guys and add void years. Worry about cap space when you get there. I'm of the opinion that winning a Super Bowl this season is worth going back to the drought era.

So owners are allowed to sell minority shares and do other things to make money off their investment. But the fans that pay outrageous fees for season tickets aren’t allowed to make money off their investment?
You can sell tickets and teams have no issue with people selling some of them. Its when you sell more than half is the issue. There was poster on this board who said they hope the prime time games are early in the season as they can sell them at highest price.
IMO my guess is teams are fine if fans sell 4 games or less. If you have season tickets and can only go to 2, there is a good chance you will lose them.

These are people who bought season tickets for years when they sucked. Nice reward for your loyalty.
If they were so loyal they would go to most of the games. Teams are fine if you re sell a few games. It's when you go to only 2-3 and sell the rest to pay for the tickets that's the problem.
To be fair they aren't the Lions aren't the first team to do it and they won't be the last. I can see it happening when the new stadium opens.

maybe because they are really good seats? i wonder what percentage local residents attend the game
They are being proactive. Especially after that Lions fan had his tickets revoked from selling them. Don't be surprised when some Bills fans get the same treatment for selling their season tickets going forward.

You're right most players don't go to social media asking for money. What I'm saying is this the norm now of the diva players.
