Firechan.... Down graded punter... Restructured Matekevich.... Went w rookie kicker last year.... Let pricey but good KR walk.... What are you blathering about?

Your not reading the part that says 2020 gaurenteed money was rolled over into 21 league calender day. I dont believe clinical obesity was one of the NFLs qualifying high risk conditions.

No one is arguing Ertz had a great 2020. He has never been that low, and usually for all his time avgs. 65-75 % Cannot cherry pick stats or years , espcially w all the external factors for the Eagles and he only played 11 games.

Pats should have signed Brisset instead of Cam.

Agree ...wait for more info. Tweet from Lawyer seems ranty, unhinged, and unprofessional. My gut tells me this is garbage....

Please cite me your insider info that Star was paid out or that his contract was null if the season was cancelled. He may have got gaurenteed money when he restructured, this is not his 2020 salary. Here is a base article describing the process. https://athlonsports.com/nfl/nfls-opt-out-policy-how-it-works-who-not-playing-2020 Can you post Felciano's tweet? Again please back up your claims with some form of evidence. Here is the tweet FYI, found after a 1 min effort on Google. The Tweet was musguided too, and based on early assumptions and misinformation on the opt out terms. Guarenteed money was shifted to the next season. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/agents-take-how-key-players-opting-out-affects-salary-cap-for-2020-and-beyond-plus-more-opt-out-details/amp/

Your right that's a lot of BS. He was only gaurenteed 350k. He likely qualified as high risk due to a past heart condition. Non high risk players only got 150k. I'm not sure what I think about his opting out. As a worker, along with a lot of others, who went out in the world and had to earn a living during the pandemic, I'm not totally empathetic. It is what it is and I dont know Star. I just would love him to show up in shape and ready to go. The silence, apart from this 2nd hand tweet is not good though. Can Bills count on him?

going to bed ^

Man, its wicked exciting. People are way too knee jerk with the takes these days...all over. Ertz had a bum QB then a rookie guy who mostly ran. He only played in 11 games. Players have down years and it does not mean they're done. As for the compensation.....in Bean we trust.

Our WR room is insane

Does anyone know when we find out if Star is even viable? League year? I see Bills cut EJ Gaines. How long do they give star?

Sammy Watkins said John Ross was made of glass. Hard pass for me. With track history , injuries, and production, not a guy you can count on.

I dont dig the signing for the dollar amount. He's not a #1.

They have a ton of dollars tied up in TEs.

Too quick to judge their off season. Theyve never paid OL. My guess is they will sign young guys, likely draft a young option type QB where Cam and he can run a similar offense. On defense they still have a ton of solid players, and maybe some of the opt outs return.

I meant pass defense ...Bills pass defense was #18, and much better down the stretch. We were excellent the season prior, and that tells you the fix is not as elaborate and big moves are not needed. The Bills had and excellent DVOA rank at seasons end, finishing 4th overral. Fourth, we come to the Buffalo Bills, who end the year as the top team in the AFC. The Bills are also red hot right now with DVOA over 40% in six straight games. In our weighted DVOA ratings, which lower the strength of early games to get a better idea of how teams are playing now, the Bills have narrowly passed New Orleans to rank as the No. 1 team going into the postseason. That from https://www.footballoutsiders.com/dvoa-ratings/2021/final-2020-dvoa-ratings We could all around with more data and facts, like how tough our strength of schedule was, how the Bills played versus top 10 defenses and top offenses...how they played against playoff teams. But you can google that stuff. Hint; it supports that both 2020 ( and 2019) were very good seasons..not Jauron years with no results. Its frustrating to hear a viewpoint like yours. It was a great season, and I think your missing the incredible accomplishement and consistancy, and instead can only see the few blemishes. We were 6-0 in division and beat two very good teams in the playoffs. I love that we're creating a stable base .

Great move for him...he'll get tons of work.

I disagree with most of your points. So do facts and data. This team came up short one game Shy of the superbowl, won in a number of ways and generally had a fantastic season. Bills had the #3 offense overral, often deferring to run because of the effectiveness of the passing game. They gave defenses fits, and their 13-3 record speaks to that. Hardly predictable. The Bills got decent pressure on the QB, ranking #15 in sacks. They were #18 in pass protection, and really improved later on after early struggles. I agree we can improve here, but not by panicked moves. This team will likely never be a true blue power running team. Id be surprised if some move was still in the cards here; likely a young Guard\ Center and some form of dynamic RB or WR. They've downgraded Addison and will likely make some additional moves for players. Please stand by. BTW continuity is no fad or "latest narrative"; its a time tested recipe that has produced excellence.

Im sick of everyone giving the Pats the benefit of the doubt; This is a bone headed dollar amount and really questionable move. Smith is a solid 50 catch 10 TD kind of guy in the right system, but this is the most money the Pats have ever paid a skill position. Its the kind of money you give a 100 catch hall of fame type guy. Its crazy.... We should relish this floundering by a franchise. GL getting WRs to come w Cam as the QB plan.

Tampa will be sick again next year.

Serious question...do you watch football games and did you see a game called the "Super Bowl"?

We've talked about this a lot before. Overdorf is just an accountant...had more sway back in the Wilson days...Littman was the real "tyrant" IMO.

Very comfortable and glad. This was a good move, and good contract. Felciano is tough as nails, and folks were letting his performance during the playoffs against some crazy good pass rushers override his general solid play and the good game film he is capable of. Not saying he didn't have a few moments of struggles this past season, but 2020 was an insane, terrible year, John had a serious injury, and was also asked to shuffle all over the place. So we've really done well to keep together a team that was one game away from the superbowl. Let's also not forget our schedule was brutal in 2020 and this team can add the 1-2 pieces via the draft. I'd really like to see an electric player taken in this draft...

Mongo should not get a big pay day. I predict 5-6 million per year. With a 3 year deal, maybe backload it to have a soft cap hit for 2021. I think fans are giving him a hard time as he was coming off a major injury, and asked to play several positions in 2020. Mongo played poorly in the AFC championship and the Colts game, but otherwise was not as bad as folks say. No, he was not the weak link on the OL during the reg season. I think his play during the title game is clouding some folks judgement. We are forgetting the better games and really good 2019 season where he gained a rep as a tough as nails guy. Dont underestimate the value of a versatile multipositional linemen.
