    I'm going to continue to be who I am. I use my eye for detail and quality to make money. Not saying it's any more money than you all make, but it is what it is. I tend to notice things that other people would never even think about. It's a blessing and a curse.

    To each their own I guess.  I just couldn't imagine dwelling on something so minor.

    You know that they have courses for anger management, right? You can probably find some free ones too to match your budget.

    Not angry just trying to help you quit making yourself look silly.  Thinking A.J. is a stud shows lack of knowledge for the NFL game.

    Me too. The Raiders got a great deal.

    Man you need to drop the whole A.J.  is a God crap.  If he was so good he would never have signed the deal he did with the Bills.  He was the last of the free agent qbs to sign.  There is a reason for that.

    I'm sorry but how do you build a top team by trading away talented players? 

     

    Darby trade made absolutely no sense, neither did the Ragland trade. Both players were still on their rookie contracts. Watkins too. Dareus is the only trade that "cleared" cap space for the future. 

    Talent at every position means nothing if you do not have a QB that can play at a top level.  As I stated the short term there will be suffering but trading away the guys they did allowed the Bills to go after their franchise QB with keeping their draft intact.  If they hit on Allen trading away what they did means nothing.

    Watkins and Darby trades were abysmal. Getting rid of Ragland while having one of the worst LB cores in the league was stupid. Trading for Coleman and wasting 3m and a draft pick. 

     

    Trading Marcell then signing a below average DT and giving him big money.

     

    This guy has no idea how to make a decent trade. piss poor trades up and down. 

     

    Man your just full of hot takes today.  All of these trades were made for either clearing us out of cap jail or for the eventual trade up for a franchise qb.  He knows short term there would be suffering but he is looking at a long term building approach which has been long overdue for this franchise.  Slapping a band aid on the roster when he took over would have done nothing but garner more 8-8 type seasons.  Beane is looking to build a top team for many years to come.

    And yet it didnt. He came in played and held out a 5th year option (players do that with Tag as well). 

     

    So again no new deal so was cost controlled for four years and had a trigger point. 

     

    He got re-signed

     

    Mack used his trigger point and got traded 

     

    OBJ used his trigger point (showed up to camp) got extended 

     

    so to say anything different is hypocritical and speculation 

    What is stopping these guys from holding out prior to year 5?  Say a team drafts a qb and he puts up monster numbers his first 3 years in the league.  He then decicides to holdout for a new contract.  Do you think a team is going to renegotiate with him or just let him sit?  It's not a new thing that guys hold hold out with multiple years left on their contracts so what is stopping a player on the rookie wage scale from doing this?

    I know it hasn't happened yet, but the way players are holding out I can only imagine that it's a matter of time before this happens.

    Did he play after that hold out?  Did he get a new contract to being him back after that holdout?

    All I am saying is that when the rookie wage scale came out players played through the 5th year option.  Now players are holding out after year 4.  With Donald holding out after year 3 it potentially creates a slippery slope where guys are either gonna get paid, trade, or just continue the holdout.

    People meed to stop undervalue 1st round picks and their 5 year cost controlled contract. Sorry that is way to much to ask for a non QB

    Are they really cost controlled for 5 years anymore?  Just look at Mack and Donald.  These guys are going to just start holding out earlier and earlier into their rookie deals.  Soon enough the rookie wage scale is going to become irrelevant.

    Let it go, dude. You’re crapping on a fantastic news thread. Take your takes to the Peterman Starts thread. I’ll be shutting that one down soon.

    How am I crapping on this thread?  Please let me know.  You have guys in here dropping Ryan Leaf comparisons but yet I'm crapping on the thread.
