again, that’s your speculation, which is not backed up by economic studies. So believe what you want I suppose. A Bills stadium downtown would not impact the redevelopment going on down there right now or in the future.

And a football stadium that’s used a dozen times a year down there is that much more additive to these current developments? No, it’s not. And hordes of suburbanites are not going to trek into downtown to eat on a random Thursday just because they can see the stadium from the window.

apparently so. Makes no sense to me. Atlanta as a city didn’t improve because they got rid of the Georgia Dome and built a new stadium that looks like a giant metal anus from the sky. And since that was built, still no one cares about the Falcons. And Atlanta is still Atlanta, which Buffalo will never be. It made zero impact on the team popularity or the city as a whole.

yeah I have to agree. If I look at the recent outliers to this, Hockenson was a 1 and has already been traded. Pitts could be very good but we don’t know yet because he doesn’t have a QB and they won’t use him correctly.

I don’t really know what the question here is. No, the new stadium is just going to be a football stadium that will host some high school championships and a few concerts a year. So what. if they built a covered stadium in downtown Buffalo for $2B+, plus got another $2B+ for necessary infrastructure improvements to put it down there, it would still be a football stadium that hosts some high school championships and a few concerts a year.

I absolutely am a rap fan and yeah his stuff is bad.

don’t sell him short - he’s put out several bad rap albums.

you’re aware of his twitter history correct? Beasley knew exactly what he was doing. He’s one of those sickos that loves twitter drama. How many times has he “quit” using it but came back? He can’t help himself.

Cole’s not wrong. Right now Mahomes is the best. In fact he has a bigger lead on Allen right now than he did a year ago at this time.

This has been rumored and/or leaked by those around the Ravens but never confirmed.

“What about the comp picks” yeah let’s let established guys walk for lottery tickets.

Bro @Airseven is not a Bills fan. No use arguing with him.

good breakdown 👍. Honestly I don’t know what the answer is at RB. i am hoping it’s a combination of Cook and Hines so they can focus on WR and OL.

such good pulls thank you. Yes Dan Patrick nailed it. In every aspect. And it is about timing. Every single top tier QB that comes up (Lamar is just the first,) that Watson deal is hanging over owner’s heads like the sword of Damocles. I mean, if I were them I’d boot the Haslems right along with Danny.

so are they win now mode or no? Because I don’t care about a 3rd round pick if we get a healthy (and I understand that’s a dicey proposition) Poyer for another year. It’s not an obvious decision either way so I get you there. But I don’t think comp picks should come into it at all, not for this team right now.

No one should be worried about chasing comp picks. So stupid. This board has an obscene obsession with these things. I never understood it.

oh no problem then I’m with u

Fairly recently? i mean he’s been out of the league for a bit but Welker was 5’8” 180 tops.

you wanted them to pay Edmunds $18M+ a year? I absolutely wouldn’t. I’m not even an Edmunds hater but that was surely a luxury contract by the Bears because they have so much cap space.

💯

sure, but doesn’t Watson’s off the field history also make him a ridiculous gamble for the Browns? Yes, if Watson does something similar again (allegedly), the Browns most likely would not be on the hook to pay him out (because he’ll be suspended or outright banned from the league). But they would still be back at square one, with no QB, and having F*ed the market up, for nothing. Honestly I hope that happens.

Honestly, that’s a big part of it I’d bet. And, while we can debate which one is actually the better QB, Lamar, to his credit: 1. Has the better W-L record (yes I know wins are team stats, not QB stats); 2. Has an MVP; 3. Isn’t a complete scumbag.

I honestly don’t know why they didn’t negotiate in earnest after season 3. Maybe he rightly suspected the deals would start to get nutty if he waited another year (they did.) that could have also been a mistake on his part sure, since the more he played into that rookie deal, the more risk of injury (which also happened.)

I think they most certainly were a well run org when Newsom was calling all the operational shots. Not sure that’s so true now with DeCosta. (Yes I know Newsom is still there at the VP level.)

don’t think that was an option under the rules bud. Drafted rookies have to wait until after their 3rd season to start to negotiate a new deal (as I understand it.) EDIT: ”Renegotiations: Rookie contracts for drafted players can't be renegotiated or altered in any way until after the last regular-season game of the third contracted year. Undrafted rookies must wait until after their second season to amend a contract. Any rookie contract that is renegotiated or extended in any way is no longer considered a rookie contract and is not restricted by the rules governing such contracts.” https://www.nfl.com/_amp/2023-nfl-free-agency-explainer-vital-information-on-franchise-tags-contract-term
