Ethan in Cleveland

But yes he can. Not sure what you have been reading but he still gets final say

They are no longer alleged. He settled with every one of these women. You are correct the legal system let everyone down but there is no question of him committing these disgusting acts.

Goodell can certainly suspend him indefinitely. We don't know what he will do yet.

15 min of playing time missed for every assault. Unbelievably low. Nice message sent. You can assault four women and only lose one game check and none of your signing bonus. Unreal. Josh Gordon lost multiple seasons for alcohol. At this point they would be better off having no personal conduct policy. They can't seem to ever get it right. Goodell should at least double it to force the union to defend this scum of a person.

Ridiculous take. Coaching is primarily what prevented a SB win last season. Its a team sport. Coaching, special teams, and defense let all let Allen down.

Unless he goes over 1000 rush yards and 400 receiving yards I just can't see them keeping him. Priorities are Knox and Oliver this offseason and Davis next offseason. Me personally I let Singletary walk. I would then tag Edmunds to get one more year of decent but not spectacular MLB play without a long term commitment. I think Milano will be the prime target for salary cap cut this next off-season, regardless of what they do with Edmunds contract.

No way they carry 4 TEs. If I'm McD I go with Knox, Howard, and Doyle or some other backup OT. Cut Gilliam. I have no idea why he is on the roster. He does nothing well. He doesn't block well, he doesn't catch well out of the backfield, and he doesn't pass protect well. Their should be no roster spot for a FB unless they are a special talent, which he is clearly not. As others have said they need to reserve a few roster spots for special teams and backup OL.

If Doyle has to play they should just start Barkley to protect Josh from permanent harm

I didn't say tougher. Reed wins that contest hands down. He took shots and kept coming. Also agree he changed how WRs were used..But he didn't muscle away defenders like Irvin did.

Irvin was bigger stronger and faster than Reed. Reed played longer and had more receptions. Irvonus scored more TDs. Both are HOF worthy but slight edge to Irvin. I think Emmitt Smith is both overrated and underrated at the same time. I think backs like Thurman, Tomlinson, and Faulk are so much more dangerous than a more straight ahead guy. But as pure runners go, the guy put up a ton of yards going against NFC defenses. Yes Dickerson was faster and Brown more powerful, but Smith had great vision, very good lower leg power, set up blocks well, and and just enough speed that he rarely if ever was he caught from behind. That said if Sanders doesn't retire Smith's legacy drops a notch.

Neither did Cornelius Bennett

Honest question. Why is Shakir destined to be a slot WR? He is 6'0" and I just watched his Boise St highlights. He lined up outside in most of them. Seems to me with Crowder, McKenzie, and Austin ( my top 3) he has little chance to play slot. Yet he might get some reps backing up Davis (just like Davis did last year with Sanders).

Not true. If they did cut him(of course they will not) then the cap hit to the Bills would be the offset money difference between his guaranteed salary and whatever new deal he signed with his new club. Again its not happening but that is how the money/cap works for a guy on 5th year guarantee. There is no more prorated signing bonus money that would hit the cap as dead money because it had already been accounted for over the length of his current contract.

Cute exchange. Good for both involved. We would hope our players would be respectful and do the same for a young kid that may like a different team. In my home it's been an ongoing friendly struggle with my son who loves Russell Wilson, Bobby Wagner, and the Seahawks. He is a bit heartbroken as his childhood heroes move on. Much like I went through when Kelly retired, Bruce left for Washington, and the ultimate heart break to see Thurman in a Dolphins uniform.

I agree. Austin is pushing Stevenson off the roster and to PS. Crowder will push Kumerow off the roster. However Austin has the potential to at least give you something on offense where Stevenson does not. That's how I see it playing out. Hodgins is a figment of your imagination. A shadow of a player that never was... Yes they brought Stevenson up and he was not good. Not saying he can't get better. Like I said in other threads, they know 50 of the 53 guys already. 7th WR is one of the unknown 3

I never liked Darnold as a pro QB. He couldn't handle even modest pressure at USC Mayfield will win the job with ease. They will likely give each one a pre-season start but the competition won't be close

Led the team in sacks the two years he was here. Sad numbers but at least some production. On that note I wish that had kept Hughes for another year. I think he would have produced more than the other backup DEs and would have let Miller stay fresh for the playoffs.

NFL Wide 1. Mike McCarthy is fired before the end of the season 2. Chargers win AFC West and play Buffalo in Orchard Park in AFC Championship 3. Baker Mayfield had more passing yards than the Browns 4. Trubisky plays well and starts all 17 games for the Steelers who make the WC Bills 1. Ford plays better with Kromer and challenges Saffold for playing time 2. Moss makes the roster and has more TDs than Singletary 3. Knox makes the ProBowl 2nd team 4. Edmunds does not make the ProBowl

Good take. I would only add that some guys look good in shorts and others flash when the pads go on and they can hit. I would think Moss is a guy that won't look so great in shorts but with pads on he is able to showcase his toughness.

I like the plan. Have an unnecessary organ removed and miss any chance of injury in camp or preseason. Good move!

One more signing that does not involve Joe Haden increases our chance he ends up in Buffalo

It was mostly Brady for sure. But Brady did not win them their first SuperBowl and didn't do much to win them their last. Both of those were defensive gems orchestrated by Belichick. Everything in-between was mostly TB12

So if McD praises Edmunds it means he is getting an extension. If BB praises his QB it means nothing or something else. It's all coach speak and we read way too much into it. Myself included.

Let's just do what we did last year and watch the games and make assessments as best we can. I enjoyed the near real time game assessments.

I agree. We don't know what he truly is asked to do unless we see him in man to man coverage. And when the QB throws tothe outside is that because Edmunds has the middle covered or for a different reason. There are multiple plays that it still appears he is blocked far down field and takes poor angles. The guy is a 4 year starter at MLB. If I've ever said he was terrible that was hyperbole. He is a competent MLB. Has he lived up to his draft status and has he earned a top 5 extension? I dont think so but I hope he earns it on the field this year. He's only 24 and a 5 year extension means they have MLB solved for most of the rest of the decade. I think they could find a cheaper rookie to do what he does and spend the dollars on Knox and Oliver. But if the cap goes up they can probably find room enough for all these guys.
