Hey … you don’t need to apologise on his behalf …. I just think if he provided a different answer to this question then we aren’t talking about it …at the end of the day if he wants to keep courting controversy with comments like this ( it’s not the first time) then good luck to him … Im not going to lose any sleep about it…

Why the need to have such serious musings at the Pro Bowl? I mean … we all know that he isn’t the decision maker at the team and it’s not his call and he can’t see the future …. If he just says “yes and I’m looking forward to it” the media has nothing to blow out of proportion …

Not really … because the story is the comments … I don’t think positive comments are as newsworthy

Would anyone be talking about it today ?

“Are you going to be part of the Buffalo Bills next year ?” “ I don’t know …” How hard is it to say “yes ,,, and I’m looking forward to it “…

Geez .. would definitely have him at 60… I think he going to be a good player from the start ..

Looks like his base salary is $18-19m the next three years… which would be picked up by he new team . No guarantees after 2024 …so you can move on after that… It’s not big WR money anymore ….but questionable if his form over the second half of the season warrants that… I’d be thinking more like a third round pick would be the ceiling for what his trade value would be for a team to roll the dice …

Because something happened one year .. doesn’t mean that it will the next … Edward’s survived the year with no concussions… with limited playing time admittedly.. Edward’s would be crazy to stay here entrenched on the bench behind young established starters wasting his prime years …he signed before they drafted Torrence last year… probably saw a path to starting by beating out Bates .. that’s gone now …if he needs to show more playing time then here is not the best place … Didn’t Rapp start games this year when Hyde was injured ? They are going to have to get by on the cheap in a few positions in 2024 … seeing if Rapp can be a starter at Safety could be something they might go with … perhaps in conjunction with a third round safety and Poyer in the mix … would need to throw him a bit more extra money if they head down this path .. Not my preferred solution … just putting it out there as a cheap option for one of several problems they have in 2024

Edward’s is a starter in this league … he was injured in 2022… but before that had started 40 games on his rookie deal the prior three years including all 21 games in the Rams SB year .. He is very clearly behind McGovern and Torrence here …. Even if he is not leaving for the money then he needs to go elsewhere to increase playing opportunities…in the hope of making some money in his prime years .. Rapp was playing pretty well by the end of the year .. I would be interested in what was said when he came to the Bills about whether he had a starting role with the team when Poyer/Hyde moved on… if that’s not going to happen then I can’t see him staying again at the same money …

They all outplayed their contracts this year. I think the only one that might be back at that range is Jackson…who I would take back for sure .. I can see Dodson getting $5m a year from someone to be a starter Rapp and Edward’s gave them their prove it deals last year … they can start in this league …

That worst Chiefs team in recent history about to win the SB bro

I thought you wanted to trade away our draft picks though to move up in the first and take a WR?

Love a good bevy

It’s a nice sentiment … Cant someone get to Mahomes or catch the freaking ball next year though?

Chris Trapasso mocking Devontez Walker to the Bills at Pick 28… Says he “was having a good Senior Bowl”… Is this guy for real ? Dude makes his living out of the NFL draft …Does mock drafts all year around … I remember him in his final mock draft in 2018 he had the Bills taking Mason Rudolph in the first… ( ended up going mid third) …what a pick that would have been…

I think they are going to have to have done something prior to the draft … either signed DQ again or someone else on FA to be the starter …too big a risk to hope someone falls to you in the draft … particularly at the end of the second round … i like Sweat but not as the main man in his rookie year … as Gunner said … run to the podium and take him at 60… I think he will be gone at the top of the second though

I agree with a lot of this …. But what’s the expectation for DQ’s cheap one year deal? Hope they aren’t waiting for him to take one of Beane’s $1.7m specials Interested who you have your eyes on in the draft at 1T?

Been a journey for the guy … Hope he can make a few bucks ..somewhere

I might have had Fiske pegged a bit too low with the late Round 3 vibes unfortunately…

This is what the Bills want right at Edge … rotational guys …surely they can get some of these guys in Day 3 rather then day 2…

I think they would move on from him tomorrow … but this is the dilemma right…

Are people confident he is going over a 1,000 yards next year ?

Her cryptic comments becoming too much

As there was no previous Shrine thread …I mentioned in the Senior Bowl thread that one guy who caught my eye during Shrine practice was Xavier Thomas - DE Clemson … Going to follow his progress from here … He is 24 yr old already, and has had some injury … Probably would still need to be there Day 3 to take him … Never played in the game …

yeah a 3T…one of their best/ highest paid players …. Doesn’t seem a great 1T class this year …nor the FA class….this is a bigger concern in my view …
