This makes it even more puzzling as to why the Bills would make him a first round draft pick. I admit that I'm a McDermott homie but I'll bet Beane would not have drafted him in the 1st without strong McD support.

A hell of a running back but a deeply flawed human being. He's number 8 on the list of most rushing yards in a season but all the guys above him did it in 16 games. He ran for 2003 yards in 14 games. For comparison, Eric Dickerson holds the rushing title at 2105 yards in 16 games. That's an average of about 130 yards per game. Very good but OJ's average was 143 yards per game. And he did it on a mediocre team when the D knew they'd hand the ball to him. Props to his O line -- the Electric Company -- because they would turn on the Juice: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_Company_(football)

The guy does well in straight man coverage but he screws up in zone and when he has to make adjustments. Maybe he'll eventually learn but at this point he'd only have value to a team that plays straight man as a base D. This is the NFL so I doubt there are any teams that do that. He wasn't a first round pick. What mystifies me is why his shortcomings weren't apparent from film or scouting. Any thoughts?

In other news the Washington Redskins announced today that they are changing their name to the Washington Commanders.

I'll drink to that -- a shot of Jamisons with a Guinness chaser if you please

and it must be in the 4th quarter and tried by the trailing team.

But it's only greed when the other guy does it.

I just love the concept of void years. Haven't we all had a few years of our lives that we wished we could void?

Rasul listed as a "salary conversion." What does that mean?

Cap casualties. Bills looking to get down under the cap.

How are opponents selected for each team (outside of its division)? Is it random or is there a method for calculation a team's opponents?

Well said!

Let's try a counterfactual: (that means I know this trade would never happen but let's assume that it's on offer) Mahomes for Allen trade, straight up one for one. You are the Bills' GM, do you do the trade? Why or why not?
