But the difference between playoffs or not may be one win, hence you try to have a guy that gives you a chance to get that win.

Gotta imagine it’s a vet min deal. He’s not exactly an in demand player. Good person to teach the youngsters on PS and to be an emergency use guy. If Josh goes down for a week, Keenum starts, but we have somebody in house to back up, solid move.

I wonder if they will package Edmunds and a pick to move up. If they can get one of the Georgia LBs for example, lower the cap hit and solve the problem for the next 4-5 years at a lower cost.

Until he decides to sit.. he’s getting low balled and knows it, they will have to do something with him. I don’t support that, but it’s life in the NFL.

We agree on that! No way I’d touch that Adams contract. The guy is going to get at best 10 catches a game (average) and yes, maybe they make some that others wouldn’t, but I don’t think it’s the difference between winning and losing as much as people make it out to be. Diggs is a guy I really wouldn’t pay, no physical traits that scare you, he’s really a small possession WR. I love him, puts up good numbers, but a huge difference maker? No. John Brown put up over 1k here, Robert Foster looked like an NFL player with Josh. Josh will make any WR look good. I would be drafting one early this year and look to the future of a reasonable extension for Davis and letting Diggs walk. DJ Chark is getting more than Diggs right now, so he’s underpaid, but you can’t give him what the market will and expect to keep winning, he’s not the game breaker you need at 20+ a year.

Man, the Colts keep trying the Elway theory and blowing it. You can’t get guys that have never been greats and expect greatness when they are 40 years old. If they give up any real assets for him, their GM should be fired. I could see a flier on Mayfield, giving Mariota another shot, Minshew, whatever, but Matty’s Corpse is on Ice at this point. Just a bad move. Love to see it from a team that’s built to contend.

Always liked him, a little long in the tooth, but a good signing I feel.

Could not justify taking him in the first, BUT, I could see sending next years first to somebody to get him in the second. You think you are picking 32 next year, you aren’t getting that talent in that range and it’s always a position of need. If you can pull it off, I’d be happy with it.

I’d sign Winston for zero draft capital if he will make the move. Mariota would be #2, then I’d look at giving up picks for bad contracts.

I think you are wrong about WR not being a premium position, it is. That said, I don’t think it should be. There’s 2 out there every play at minimum. 2 things, 1)Diggs should have been extended before the market reset, reallly felt Beane blew that before things went batshit crazy. 2) Diggs is not the type of WR you pay big for. He small, not explosive, a possession WR. I like him, but he’s not the guy that can take any DB and over power, out run, out jump them and make the big plays. He’s a great route runner, does pretty well off the line, finds space. He catches a lot of balls bc of it, but still little after catch and not a great RZ target. Fan boys are going to point to TDs, great, but how often are they in goal line situations? Great between the 20s.

He was the GM for the Tre draft, people want to blame him for Buddy Nix drafting Manuel and give McD credit for Tre, that’s BS.

He had far better results in FA than Beane has had yet, go look at it and tell me I’m wrong.

His roster was the one McD got to the playoffs with, let’s not act like he didn’t put together a good roster. He missed on a WB which is debated if he had a call on. His track record was not nearly what people make it out to be. I think he had a better D built than we have now if we are being honest.

One of the greats, sad to hear this.

And even after all these years, there’s no real consensus on how to say his last name.!

Old shot, but yeah, I’d love OBJ here. Better to get him when/if he’s ready to come back. Evaluate what you have and decide later in the year what the move will be. Add that kind of weapon later in the year and you could well be the team to beat (not that the Bills aren’t already regarded as such).

I don’t take that for granted. Remember McD thinks he can make anybody a great CB, his history shows we can survive without the best talent at corner. In the McBeane Carolina days, they let Norman walk because they could replace him with less cost, they also haven’t drafted a DB high since they have been here AND the guys they have found have been solid. I honestly think it will come down to BPA at 25 or maybe they do like a certain player and go get them. WR and CB cost a lot of money for top flight players, but WR is substantially more. With an eye on the future, they are going to have to let Diggs walk or pay him big, they are letting Beasley go because of money, Davis is going into year 3 of 4 year contract, if he continues to trend up, he’s going to be 10M+ In 2 years. I think now is the time you take a WR. You still don’t “need” them to jump right in, but you can use it and develop them so you can let somebody walk rather than over paying. Allen’s contract really hits next year, Diggs is going to want a rework to 17ish too, you just added Miller for money, Oliver is going to get paid too 10 money next year, you have to pay for a MLB be it Edmunds or other, the roster is going to feel the squeeze of Allen’s deal, you have to start drafting value. With McD’s over confidence in his ability to develop corners, I don’t think you see one until round 2 at the earliest. There’s reason for them to look at drafting WR, MLB, CB, OL early in this draft. I worry more about CB myself, I just think history actually points away from it, unless a super talent falls in their lap.

How crazy is it, he fell to the third because he was so raw, yet came in and became the best player on the line (personal opinion), in very short order? The guy is a beast. Hopefully, we see a little more maturity this year, or he’ll cost us some taunting penalties, but you get to give people crap when you are whipping them.

If the Vikes really want him they can sign him to a deal that’s front loaded, make it a higher cap hit this year and we’d be screwed. They are up against the cap too though, so if I had to guess, he won’t be getting anything we couldn’t match aside from some stupid poison pill like more than 3 games played in NY causes an escalation of salary. The NFL discourages this type of thing, but it’s not out of question. Or, maybe he has family or a booty call there, just letting the Vikes pay for the flight and dinner? Who knows.

Actually, you can. Think of some of the debt as a subscription service you are paying for, like Prime or whatever. You have the ability to cut off the service and not have to pay for it anymore. Then you can kick the can down the road by transferring the debt to another card for a period, etc. You always have to make your minimum payment, but you can play until you run out of credit lines. With big dumps of cash, that can go on for a LONG time.

He and Miller really play the same spot, so he would have to accept that he’s a back-up and he paid like it. His numbers over the last few years pretty much tell that story. He’s still able to get pressure, but he rarely gets home anymore. It would be fun to see him at DE and Miller playing at LB on passing downs, just let them both go after the QB. I think his time here is probably done, he’s getting up in age we have 3 young guys, plus Miller now, doesn’t seem there would be room.

Didn’t seem as though it was, but started the night by slamming 2 of them in about a 15 minute span. It got real ugly from there. This was at the tail end of my college party days, I was a professional drinker, never have I ever been in such a state before or after that night. Most people have a bad experience with them and many have horror stories. The caffeine over load and the high abv is/was an awful combo if you put them down quick.

Worst night of my life started with those things.. almost died, NEVER again.

Would like to see Beas back, but I’m guessing he’s going to have to play ball to be on the roster by EOW. Hopefully, he gets it, he’s not going to get a better situation or shot to win.
