Ive always wished I could go back in time to the moment this guys parents came up with his name.
Maybe they didn’t know you can name someone a III…? His dad was probably Jordan Jr.

Im sure he believes that… Practice will be easier with all the talent depleted.

My buddy back in the UK who’s been a lifelong Falcon fan says not to expect anything but a role player on ST with the off-chance of sporadic success on offense if he’s doing the things Gabe did.
Regular run of the mill depth guy.

Yeah if he produces more he will get paid. But that’s a stretch of projection, imo.
Interesting. How do you perceive that to be a stretch of one?

Call up and offer a 2nd next year for one of them. Some will say to wait until they are released, but then you get into a bidding war. Get on the phone, do a reworked deal pushing money into 25' 26' and get Mack. Beane needs to step up and just do it.
With the current cap situation for these 2 years giving up a 2nd would be the worst decision. Even a 3rd would be silly.
More importantly factoring in that same financial forecast, how would you be paying them? Pegula is showing a reluctance to pony the money upfront…

I don’t agree that numbers just go up the more you play. Leonard Floyd had more sacks last year with less playing time than the year before. It doesn’t work that way.
Brian Burns has proven much more as a pass rusher than Greg, imo.
For a 23 year old? I disagree. You have to factor in the playing time.
Floyd was on the Rousseau stat line, actually less, when he signed that deal with the Rams that worked out around $16m a year. That was 3 years ago… All the while in his career he was playing 80-90% of the snaps and coming away with less production.
The point is if Rousseau is averaging around the same statistics as guys who are playing 20-25% more snaps in a year, why wouldn’t he get paid if he sees more playing time?
He’s a great defender against the run and only sees a portion of the pass rushing snaps… With the way the market is now if he sees more playing time and increases his production he absolutely gets paid. -

Met Mark Morrison in ‘97 at The Gallery @ Turnmills… Guy was an interesting character. Definitely not chill by any standard.-

Atlanta has the talent to challenge for the NFC title. With Cousins in the fold, they are an easy bet to win the south
Yup. They soared into front runner after the Cousins signing. Prior they were third behind Tampa and NOLA. -

I do so enjoy discussing paying Greg Rousseau for a potential 9.5 sack per year average, when the guy has never had more than 8 sacks ever.
Ok. I understand that sentiment which is why I referenced a guy in Brian Burns getting a mega deal who’s not much better but sees a significant amount more in playing time… Groot hasn’t played more than 60% of the snaps in a season and actually has decent production. Give him more playing time those numbers will only increase…Youd be paying him for production and potential. Both have significant upward trends with an increased playing time imo.

I agree for him but hate it as a Bills fan.
Eh. We all thought it was happening last season until near the very end…Maybe he’s sick of the “run it back” and like many have said is doing it just to get started on the relocation there for Rachel.
Don’t like it but he’s not what he was 2/3 years ago… would have hated it then.
Best of luck to him on every day except the 2 he’s facing us.

His value is somewhere around 4 years $70+ million right now.
That’s exactly it. Right now that’s high for a situational guy…Hes easily capable of more. Be that statistical, play time or both.
What if he has a strong season? Guy as it stands averages 40 tackles, 10 TFLs, 6 sacks & 14 QB hits… all on limited use; he’s averaging around 55% of the defensive snaps over 3 years… last year was his highest @ 60%.
More playtime is only going to make that price skyrocket… Again, he’s capable of it and still has ways to grow being relatively young in terms of experience at playing the position.

Extend him. Elite at setting the edge, run stopper and developing nicely in the pass rush. He reminds me of Phil Hanson. So not a game wrecker but all-around great DE.
Think that’s a very fair assessment. The question becomes how much his agent is asking for him on a long term contract. With the way some of these contracts this off-season have been, it might get pricey.
I mean look at Brian Burns, who I would say is about the production you’re probably going to get if Groot plays 75-90% of the snaps in a season, where you’re getting around 9.5 sacks on the year (for an average).
That guy just collected 5yr/$150m… Now I’m not saying that’s what Groot will get but the expected play time for him is going to increase this year. If he pans out even similar to Brian Burns stats do you pay him something similar?
Someone will if that happens. Kid is ultra talented at what you said; defending the run and is still relatively raw to football; 6/7 years of playing the position? A lot of potential in him.

...he'll rack up some sacks early, then fade late. This seams to be the theme for our defense. Maybe our whole defense should be on an NBA load management rotation?
They already were… Wasn’t that the whole thing they were doing the last couple of years? -

Not bad, serves a purpose on ST and insurance for Milano/Bernard/Williams.
Don’t love it, don’t hate it.

What’s absolutely wild is the Bills are probably the most successful team vs KC the couple seasons. KC has won 2 Super Bowls. I do 100% believe if Milano and Bernard were playing they’d have beaten KC in the playoffs this year, maybe if even one were healthy.
But it is what it is.
Yeah, that Bernard injury was the writing on the wall against a team who makes their meal on the middle of the field… Milano and Bernard? No brainer. That would have been a W. -

Reid didn't win a SB till he got to his 2nd head coaching job, and after 13 years HC experience in Philly
I'm confident McDermott can do that to.
Thats just an excuse. We’ve sniffed the SuperBowl once and even then we got blown out by the Chiefs.
I have faith in McDermott as long as he’s the coach. There’s no other option. But predicating the results of other people isn’t applicable to any or every situation. Furthermore, there’s a longer list on heavily tenured coaches who’ve never won a SuperBowl.

You look at what they can do with no talent and they become scary when they have some pieces.
Revert back to the final seasons with Big Ben, they refused to build an OLine to protect him and facilitate the ground game. I don’t get it. Their identity and mantra is all about being a hard nosed, take it to you team but the intricacies of today’s football show you have to have complimentary pieces.
Get RBs and WRs when you have no line play or semblance of QB… Sure they tried with Trubisky and Pickett but they weren’t and are not the answer for sustained success. Neither is Wilson.
Speaking of Wilson, when Seattle where stuck in that myriad of mediocrity they were drafting and signing younger guys pretty much every year until they got it right with Wilson. Don’t know why teams choose a different Avenue. Even the Pats were drafting guys at relatively high picks to back up Brady which in turn netted them more capital in the form of trades.
4 minutes ago, BullBuchanan said:Have you actually seen teams go "all in"? The 49ers went all-in, the Rams went all-in, the Eagles went all-in.
We did the opposite. This team has been running back the same team for years.
To an extent, yes. But it wasn’t broke and we dominated. Sure it was just the regular season and we faltered in the Playoffs but there was always a chance to make it work with what we had.
Now, at least imo, is the time to just focus and go all in on riding the talent of Josh. Give him everything and anything to be even better than he has.

I like Pittsburgh and they fact they are always trying to be a contender and never settle but at some point they have to realise the problem is their offense and need to apply the appropriate finances on that side of the ball.

This has been discussed to the extreme here… Josh is winning at least one MVP and multiple Lombardi’s.
The other coin? Who knows. Pat would have walked into a sh-t scenario like Josh did. Maybe he makes it? Maybe he doesn’t. The sure thing is, again, the Chiefs and Josh being the success they have been.
Reality is our guy is just as valuable and dominant as Pat without the accolades.-

Someone pointed out that Diggs’ 2023 was a rerun of his 2022. Fantastic first half and miserable second half. No idea what to make of this other than it’s going to be interesting watching him in 2024.
Sit him the first half and save it all for the second…🤔😂

I'm all for trading picks from next year as well as our later rds to move around this year. Beane can really ball out this year and I think he will. There are 5 teams with 2 second rd. picks and 5 teams with 2 in the 3rd....AZ. having 3. We need to hit on the first 4. BB gonna have to wheel and deal.
Lets say we stand pat @ 28… Do they give up 35 & 66/71? Probably not as they pick 27 anyway…
Maybe Washington do 36 & 67 to get to 28? -

Why didn’t Thunder Thighs Fournette ever work out? He fits this need
Commitment to the game and staying in peak shape. Maybe they believe it’s his number one priority? -
5 minutes ago, ngbills said:
Question I have is Beane trying to sign anyone right now? Were we talking to any of these RB's or other guys that signed? Are we talking to guys right now or are we just playing the waiting game. The way they handled the Allen restrux makes me think they are ok just resigning a few of their own, adding late free agents and the draft. Hoping that I am wrong and we can at least add a legit WR, S or DL.
My thinking is they are happy with Ty Johnson and are giving him an opportunity to get more money and have themselves as the fall-back option.
There’s still a lot left on the market, RB isn’t that much of a concern imo. Safety should be their priority.
Bills sign Nicholas Morrow

So who is ‘morrow’s, Morrow?
