    They probably don’t have info on a restructured contract yet. Sometimes it takes a few days to get out to them. OTC is the most accurate source for cap info by the way. If there’s a discrepancy between them and Spotrac, go with OTC’s info and analysis. 

    Barley ... we're not talking a couple million.  We're talking $211 million.  Something is obviously amiss.

    I think that was Chris Trapasso. He also had Jordan Hancock graded higher than Jahdae Barron.

    I don't recall it being Trepasso.  I know who Trepasso is.  This was some young guy on Zoom that they've had on before, I believe from PFF.  I never catch his name, but he loved the Bills' draft.

    Maybe it's a little wishful thinking but I watch a lot of Maryland games (that's another story).....and I always thought Prather looked like one of those players that would perform better in the NFL than college football.  Kind of like Dawson Knox in way, just didn't have that many opportunities in college but when his number was called he made the play and looked very smoothe doing it.  

    There was a guy on OBL last week I think that talked about Prather.  He was from PFF but I don't recall his name.  He thinks that he'll be a better wideout in the pros than his teammate Tai Felton.

    No one here knows how much he really wants or what the Bills are willing to pay, but I do know that Ty Johnson is making $1mil more than Cook and Darrynton Evans is only $200,000 behind Cook along with Ray Davis only $300,000 behind.

     

     

    He'll obviously get more than them...but $15M is too much.

    I don't think it's necessarily gonna be a who, but more so a what. I think the Bills defense will not only be top 3 in sacks, but also top 3 in takeaways. Opposing QB's are going to lose sleep when they see us next on the schedule. 

    To me, Babich has to be better at DC.  Maybe he didn't have the players last year, so this year there can be no excuses.

    This makes me feel more confident in my theory that the whole thing was somewhat of a planned stunt. I don't think Beane goes off like that unless he gets the okay from Pegula. Wouldn't surprise me if WGR knew about it ahead of time too, free content for them for a full week in a slow part of the NFL offseason schedule.

    I disagree .  I don't think it was planned at all.  Beane was really yanked at the WGR criticism and the accusation that he doesn't value WRs.  He defended drafting defense because that is the side of the ball that has failed miserably in the playoffs.  Plus the value in this draft was clearly on the defensive side of the ball.  I think the reason they led with the media criticism in the Embedded piece was that the National media overwhelmingly agreed with Beane and felt the push back against WGR was justified.  They showed the ESPN, NFL, et al takes.  It was only members of the local media that were critical of Beane.  Plus, since the piece dealt with the draft, it was the perfect lead in.

    Beane and co had a plan and executed it. They knew where players would be drafted and what they wanted or could get get. Really impressive 

     

    also, I love the players reactions to getting drafted. maxwells choked up ‘I am’ gets me choked up

    Totally agree.  They got the players they wanted, and were in lock step, especially with the first 5 picks.  Even when they pivoted to offense, they got good value.

  8. I remember the first time I saw Ruth Buzzi.  She was in a "magic" act with comedian, Dom Deluise.  He played the magician, Dominic the Great, and she was his assistant Shagugula.  I keep remembering Dom saying "No applause please.  Save until the end."  And Ruth just smiled with this goofy grin.  It was laugh out loud funny!  Next time I saw her was on Laugh In, which we watched as a family every week.

    Beane going ham on those WGR guys and saying that "bitching about WR is the dumbest argument he's ever heard" and then immediately turning around and signing Elijah Moore is one of the funniest things that's ever happened.


    As far as pure football: I like the signing. Moore had 500ish yards last year. He's a fast, functional NFL WR with separation ability, and is just 25 years old (somehow). I feel he rounds out our WR corps nicely.

    Beane said on OBL that he and Moore had conversations prior to the draft and decided to "stick a pin in it" until after the draft to garner interest depending on what the Bills did (sign a WR, what round, etc).  Since Beane did not have an available WR that he valued where he was drafting, above other players, he waited until round 7.  Based on that, the mutual interest was there post draft.  That's why Moore was in the building right after the draft.

    Nope, anyone signed after the draft, no longer counts towards the formula unless apparently you use this seldom used tag 

     

    The Bills will not get a comp pick unless Palmer and Hoecht do nothing for the Bills next year which we all hope doesn’t happen 

    Thank you, Gonzo.  To many dates are being thrown around.  Didn't it used to be June 1 and not the day after the draft?
