That much???

Hopefully Miami learned it's lesson by getting smoked twice by the Chiefs this year. Don't make deals that will come back and bite you in the arse.

Detroit has drafted well. They'd be better served taking one of the top corners in the draft. They should be in a position to get one.

The NFL Network especially! The Chiefs are great. We all get it. However...outside of KC fans...we're all tired of being reminded. As soon as I see them heading toward the KC love fest, I change the channel.

I hope someone ponies up for Sneed as well. I just don't want KC to receive draft capital for him and that's my point. Go ahead and offer Sneed the big bucks as a free agent, but if he's tagged, keep your 1st round pick and draft a CB in the first round and let KC be on the hook for the big payout. I don't disagree that Sneed is an outstanding corner. However, haven't there been players that were probowlers on one team and just ordinary on the next? (Wasn't there a CB on the Panthers that did just that?) When I said difference maker, my point was a team has to ask itself will Sneed be the difference maker to propel my team into the SB? There aren't many teams that could say that...and in the meantime, you've just awarded KC more draft capital to replace him and save the huge cap dollars.

They'd be foolish not to re-sign them both. Just as Beane said he'd like to re-sign all of the Bill's free agents, it's not feasible. In KC's case, it may be feasible but both Jones and Sneed will cost top dollar.

He has a great supporting cast at KC in a Spags controlled defense. He could well be an effective corner on another team...but he may not be. I wouldn't give up a lot of draft capital to find out. I'd take a chance on KC either keeping him at a huge payday or letting him go.

Teams would be foolish to trade for Sneed. Let KC threaten to franchise and trade him. He's not going to be a difference maker in any other team's secondary. Let KC franchise him and then be stuck with a huge deal in addition to what they have to pay Jones.

I agree. There are plenty available that won't command too much. It makes sense to address those positions in the draft that carry large cap numbers...WR, DT, Edge, CB, OT and build those positions through the draft.

One Bills Live just had Daniel Jeremiah on. He was talking about positions in this draft. He said the D line position drops off dramatically by the middle of the 2nd round whereas there is depth at WR. Based on the Bills needs he opined that at 28, you grab your Dline player Edge or Tackle and wait on your WR. The only exception he'd make is if Brian Thomas is there. His concern about Tony Franklin is his frame. He's like Tank Dell who had an outstanding year, but wasn't durable enough to be available in the playoffs. He thinks Adonai Mitchell will also show well at the combine and at his pro day or individual workouts. At Safety, he has none in his Top 50 players. He sees them mainly as depth pieces who will largely play on Special Teams as opposed to being immediate starters, although he did sight Tyler Nubin's productivity at Minnesota.

L'Jarius Sneed is the Chiefs number one CB who had a season that rivaled Gilmore's best. They likely will unless Jones gets a lights out offer elsewhere. Still...if Jones is looking for $28M plus per season, that will tie up a lot of capspace.

We signed a high priced vet in Miller...at a contract that ties the team's hands. Yes it looked good for a while. Then he got injured. We put more eggs in that basket than we should have. Sign a couple lower priced vets...but build through the draft.

Hopefully Beane learned through this year's playoffs that the Bills need to provide Josh with more weapons to put more points on the board. Signing high priced vets to make a "difference" especially older vets...doesn't provide the difference you need to win.

L'Jarius Sneed...their top CB. He just had a year similar to Gilmore's best!

He has said in the past he wants Aaron Donald money. With his performance in the playoffs and this year...he should get paid more than Donald!

Sneed and Jones will both now play hardball. No hometown discounts. They will want top dollar...which they deserve.

Nothing is obvious on this board, Capco. The opinions by some are so extreme most especially when it comes to the Chiefs vs Bills. I'm glad we can count you among the more level-headed. A punter is not going to move the needle much considering Townsend was solid and consistent.

Would love it if he messed up Butker!

The Chiefs have won 3 SBs. I think it needs to be remembered though, that two of those SBs were against the same team...the 49ers...coached by Shanahan who has a penchant for poor coaching in the SB. Mahomes is great, Jones is great, Reid is great, Spags is great. You cannot downplay the collective quality of just those four. However...it was Shanahan and the 49ers. So...there you go.

Thank you! Yesterday on NFL Live, they were discussing the future of Russell Wilson and Tannenbaum suggested that the Jets should sign him to be Rodgers backup! He was serious! When the other 3 panelists reminded him that Hackett was still the OC on the Jets...and that it was a disaster when the two of them were on Denver...he still thought it was a good idea. Hannah Storm ended the segment thanking Tannenbaum for the good laugh!

I don't know what "these narratives" you are talking about that are bogus. I'm also not saying that the Bills are hampered by play calling (especially since Brady took over) or that Allen has been at a disadvantage. Not having an advantage is not he same as having a disadvantage. The Bills receivers this year were not as good as they have had in the past and in the playoffs they dropped passes and did not execute. That is not a disadvantage. That is not adversity. That is bad football, and you cannot expect to win in the playoffs when you play poorly and do not execute.

You are making excuses as to the Chiefs weren't good this year and other years and yet they still win SBs. You are also basically saying that Mahomes has had no advantages in his career whatsover. Where he has had more than most. This in no way negates his individual talent. As to his receivers...the point was all the miscues they were making all season which you point out, stopped in the playoffs. I'm complementing the team. They played great! Mahomes is great! Now...since you're such a huge Chiefs fan, please go back to their forums and bask in the glow of another Super Bowl versus coming to a competitors forum to brag about your team.

According to Shanahan's presser, the problem was Wilks was working with the SF defensive scheme previously run by Salah and DeMeco Ryans. Wilks...not coming from that system...was not as successful. There was a disconnect.

Okay. This is where you're becoming a Mahomes apologist...making excuses. What you're citing is the norm for any team in the NFL. No team is perfect every year. The truth is Mahomes has been given more than most if not all. Chiefs have had no competition in their division...so they make the playoffs every year with Mahomes. The key is that despite flaws exhibited in the regular season, the Chiefs show up and show out in the playoffs. All those "weak" WRs played well when it counted. And Jones it could be argued is the best DT in the game. He's a real difference maker.

NFL players deserve some down time. I don't begrudge them playing some golf in the off season. Plus...perhaps playing with Tiger he can receive some mental pointers regarding steadiness in the face of game adversity.
