Which is what I (and others) think, no team will sign him until he can pass a physical. When that time comes the Bills can see IF he could be a fit. It seems to me all the talk is meaningless until he proves he's healthy.

I'm dumbfounded as to why Watson and the Browns would want to play him. If he is suspended for the year, it's meaningless to give him snaps. The risk they take is what happens after he steps onto the field. IF the "twitter-verse" explodes and the story gets legs, it could spill out of the sports media world into the mainstream media. Having this "discussed" on morning news shows and women's afternoon talk shows will not make the NFL and them look good at all. Add the AMTA Convention coming to Cleveland in a week or two. If they play him and it does turn stupid, then I hope they reap all the bad press and not the NFL in general. The idiots should just lay low, but it seems Watson and the Browns are going to go down swinging the "He didn't do anything wrong" position.

I didn't either until I looked him up yesterday. He was a 4th round DE from the Rams in 2018 who was cut the following year. Jets picked him up and his stat line isn't bad. One of the reasons I guess we don't know him is his game logs stats against the Bills has been pedestrian at best.

Beane is great but he has missed on a number of DL FAs. Yes, they want a decent DL. I think he may have the right recipe this year.

@Ghost_002!, is there going to be a QB controversy?

So the go that going for them.......

BB believes it will cause panic to opposing team DCs.

Did BB want to throw his headset to the ground at the end of the half? He didn't look happy. I'd rather watch the game than listen to Michael Irvin.

You give a coherent alternative. But when it's all said and done, I'm glad the Bills ended up with Josh Allen. LOL, I had a couple of drinks and I had to re-read your post. For a second I thought you were against the Bills paying JA. I think you mean that a Franchise QB cost is in its own category and then divide the rest accordingly. I will say I'm pretty sure there isn't any "hard and fast rule" about that. Either way I do have confidence Beane and McDermott are aware of that and doing the best they can to find that balance.

Spotrac has Bills DL at 23. Of course, next year with Von actually costing money along with Oliver on 5th year it will go up. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/positional/defensive-line/

About $60M going to CJ Mosley, Carl Lawson and Corey Davis and John Franklin-Myers. Not that I'm saying they are bad players just seems a risky plan.

I agree Gunner. The argument can be made that the vast number of CBs on the Bills the last few years are Day 3 picks along with UDFAs.

BB is pissed he can't win without TB. He is going with a "scorched earth" policy!

Down to 85 next week, 80 the following week, then down to 53.

If you want to believe that it's fine. I see it more long term than myopically. Just to give an example: 2023 Cap hits for Allen and Diggs is $60M. Go back and look at the number of picks used to acquire those 2 players. I'm not going to list them all, but it's a friggin' lot! 2023 Cap hits for the next 2 players (Von and Tre) $24M. A #27 overall pick. I thank Brandon Beane knowing the true cost of players on both sides of the ball and continuing to balance this team the right way. It's a blessing to us fans.

Your statement I bolded is true for the contracted players. My point is that CapFriendly has all the info needed for hockey that the NFL does not need. The NFL doesn't need it because it's rules for team building are much simpler IMO. The NFL drafts a player with a 4-year fixed contract who is matured enough to either make the team or not. Hockey drafting is so much more complicated. You are drafting 18-year-old kids. There are even rules as to where prospects can play depending on age and where they played before being drafted. That player can sign an ELC (entry level contract) the first year or 4 years later. That player maybe signed a 2-way NHL/AHL contract. Call up and waiver rules are much more complicated. Buyout, No Move Contracts, No Trade Clauses and other rules are used much more and further complicate things. When I started learning the NFL rules (thanks to others on the old BBMB!) it didn't take too long. Learning the NHL rules has been much harder IMO and CapFriendly has the info to make it a little easier.

Thanks Astro as always. Off Topic Note: Great saying that Astro posted from his father's wisdom. My Dad always said, “The harder a decision is to make, the less it will matter.” Think on that. Astro mentions Rasheem Blackshear favorably again. Others have too. Looks like the young man has a good chance at a PS spot. Quinton Morris with a "Catch of the Day". Having a good camp. Probably a PS again for him unless he is in a battle for TE3 if the Bills go that route.

Perfect, thank you Colts. Gives McDermott and Fraizer good options to see what guys can do against a 1 offense. As to the Colts decision, I would rather have Ryan start the first 2 PS games and sit out the 3rd to get acclimated if it where me.

So true. What I just starting to consider is beyond the normal rotation, the options Washington and Frazier have in situational alignment. Pure passing, short yardage and the like, they will have a lot of choices with melding both the 1s and 2s with some interesting combinations. It's an interesting set of skills and talent and I'm really hoping Beane and company have finally got this DL thing done right.

I have been so excited about the Von, Oliver, Jones, Groot starting lineup I have to admit I have not thought much about Tim (great first name) Settle. I was happy with the signing, but if this guy can repeat/exceed what his 2020 stats were (5 sacks, 5 TFLs) with only 33% of the snaps, it could be fun to watch.

How about Josh and a Bison BIGGER than Paul Bunyan and Babe?
