Then you answered your own question… no?
I’m honestly not sure that I did
what would someone consider a successful season for Bateman or even the Bills new $12 million WR in Palmer? Is either one going to put up the roughly 1,400 total yards and 8-10 touchdowns that Cook has averaged over the last 2 seasons?
I’m not even sure I’m saying Cook should get $12 million a season, but people have to admit, a team’s 3rd to 5th best receiver making that money is kinda crazy at this point
-
So here’s the Cook question-how is Bateman worth $12 million a year but Cook isn’t?
and yes I know they play different positions, it’s apples to oranges, etc

He hasn't dropped a pass in a long time.
Yeah but remember he dropped a couple of passes a couple of seasons ago, so obviously that means he will always drop them, duh

Cook is getting really bad advice from his brother or someone.
He should attend minicamp, attend all preseason training, and be a team player throughout the season.
That will get him a much better contract than acting like a pouty little kid that is mad because he didn't get his way.
Grow up Cook.
He’s been a team player for 3 years! This is a negotiating tactic and as a running back he gets one shot at this. You’re making it sound like he’s the first guy to ever do this.
Your reaction is valid as a fan, but it’s why you’re a fan and not an executive or agent. He’s not being pouty or a child, it’s actually a calculated strategy. If he gets hurt, it diminishes his value, so he is minimizing risk. I’m sure the team would like to see him there, but they aren’t taking it personally-it’s business
I highly doubt he will be there next week, and don’t be surprised if he misses a couple of days of training camp. That being said, he will end up in training camp, some very misguided fans will boo him, he will be there opening day and he will play hard for a contract if he doesn’t get one during training camp. He knows sitting out games isn’t going to get him paid big money

How about someone being honorable enough to play out the contract he signed.
His contract is to play games. How come teams can cut a guy early, ask them to restructure (meaning take less money) and fans are good with that? He gets one real shot at making major money, and this is a negotiation tactic. He’s not going to sit out the season, he will be there when the games start, but people should already be prepared that he might not be seen u til much before that. Doesn’t mean he’s a villain, doesn’t mean people should turn on him (although they will), but the narrative will be painted that he’s a “bad teammate” even though there’s not a single guy in that locker room who will feel that way

Kind of crazy to think that the Bills secondary could very easily be Trent McDuffie, Christian Benford, Taron Johnson, and Cooper DeJean right now.
This is peak “woe is me” offseason trolling right here. At least make an attempt to make it not so obvious

Oh cool, another one of these "the guy didn't play well his rookie year so he's never going to be good" threads. Can we, for the love of God, ever actually give these guys a chance before we go all doom and gloom on them?

Really hope they pay Cook!
Go back and watch the games. He's arguably the second best player on the entire team. He doesn't take big hits. His vision in the hole is as good as Thurman and Shady. His speed is excellent. He has enough power to get an extra yard or two after contact. His hands once thought of as a liability by some are elite. His route running is crisp and quick. He deserves a massive contract. Thanks to the system he doesn't have a ton of wear and tear.
Just have an issue with your wording. IMO He has earned the right to negotiate for more money. I don’t believe he deserves a massive contract

Dawkins personality turns a lot of people off, unfairly.
Unpopular opinion, but let’s be honest, Dion is the epitome of “love him if he’s our guy, hate him if he’s on the other team.” Think about the clientele on this board, if Dawkins played for another team, he would be called obnoxious, overrated, he should just shut up, blah blah blah. We know him, we all love him, but yes, his personality definitely turns other fan bases off

I don't know if you are actually in the minority or not........but I think it shows that you probably just care too much about the outside perception of the team when there really is no rational reason to. But irrational things like worrying about outside perception of the team or whether officiating is unfairly biased against your team bonds fans to the product. It's an advanced suspension of disbelief.
The Bills have been a top 2-3 team for the last 6 or so years….why would you think they would be “under the radar”?

I really don’t think Cooper gave us much, but we’ll miss Hollins as much for his blocking and special teams work as his receiving.
If the best thing you can say about a receiver is his blocking, that’s not very difficult to replace. We all loved Hollins while he was here, but to make it sound like he won’t be replaced rather easily is far fetched

I must have pulled up the wrong page or something my bad
I love McLaurin. This is a man who’s basically averaged 1K a year and doing this while playing in the joke of a franchise that was Washington prior to Jayden Daniels.
Perhaps the most underrated WR around IMO.
Which is fine, you can, but he’s not elite. Need to have the talent AND put up elite numbers, he hasn’t done that yet. If you want to say he’s in the 10-15 range I’m with you on that, but he’s not close to being top 5 elite status

And just to be clear about AJ, I love him as a WR and he’d be by far our best WR and it’s not even close. Same is true of Davonte Smith. That the Eagles have both is a function of luck, circumstance and opportunity.
But not everyone can be elite. In a world where Chase, Jefferson, Sun God, CeeDee Lamb, and scary Terry exist, I can’t call AJ Brown elite. That’s not taking anything away from him either. But there’s some REALLY REALLY good talent out there right now.
Like Drake London never gets any publicity but he’s been incredible. He had more catches, yards and touchdowns than AJ playing on a worse team with worse QB play. We’re not gonna call him elite though.
Feel like Eagle players are getting a bit inflated because they won a Super Bowl, when the reality is they won that Super Bowl by having really good players at every position, rather than relying on a a few different stars. They won with depth, they won with versatility, and they won with a pass rush that was more about waves than any one player taking over every week. They didn’t have a single guy with double digit sacks yet they had 5 players with double digit pressures (Bills had 4).
Thats also how I want buffalo to look, and I see no reason they can’t be thatHe’s simply not talented enough IMO. There’s a clear divide between the level of Barkely, Henry and pre injury Chubb that Cook doesn’t have.
And even beyond them Bijan Robinson and Jamhyr Gibbs in Detroit are a tier above Cook
Before I make my full comment, 2 things: when you say scary Terry, are you talking Mclaurin? And if so, are you putting him in the same category as those other guys?!?!

PPG don’t tell the full story, but KC averaged 27 after Hollywood Brown returned, against some of the best defenses in the league. Add Rice, who was elite before his injury. Upgrade at LT (huge upgrade if Simmons is ready). Improved RB room, Royals.
I’ll be surprised if the offense isn’t very good.
So this could absolutely be my Bills bias, but aren’t you using the word elite to describe Rice pretty loosely? He was good, but elite is reaaaaallllllyyy stretching it IMO

I doubt it. Ravens will want to avenge the Divisional loss. They are the better team IMO
Outside of the Eagles, and maybe the Bengals.... they are the only team I don't expect us to beatWhy the Bengals? I get the offense, but what about that defense?

I hope Rapp breaks him in half.
So we have one thread where people say they don’t respect Poyer any more because of his hit on Coleman, and then in this thread there are numerous calls for Rapp to do the same thing to Diggs….we need to make up our minds!

I think losing Mack was an underrated loss. He was such a good blocker and made timely catches time and again. I’m very interested to see how Palmer fills that role. Hopefully, he’ll be more consistent uncovering in the passing game.
Healthy Kincaid will also mean change. I have no doubt that he’ll emerge as a significant downfield weapon. He should see more snaps, but will that combined with loss of Mack impact our running game? I don’t see us running a lot of 12 personnel. This will be something worth monitoring as the season progresses because ultimately we’re a run team first, and we may find certain personnel groupings limit that.
We all liked Mack, but when the top thing you can say about a receiver is how good of a blocker he is, that’s not a great thing.

Yeah imagine a world where the remedy for a prank phonecall is $250k
I'm sure the NFL is just as vigorous in pursuit of the rest of the prank callers and all those who leaked phone numbers will face similarly severe punishment.
All of this to protect the feelings a spoiled rich kid that did everything he could to fall down the draft order. Will they fine Cam Ward for telling Shedeur to buzz off? Im a bit incredulous how much 'the shield' and their media sycophants are bending over backwards for Sanders. It sure is going to be zany if he turns out to play like most other 5th round QBs
the fine isn't for the phone call, the fine is for the number being discovered by someone unauthorized to have it

kyle mccord got pranked, tyler warren as well. it happens every year. gotta learn to take a joke
I think who did the prank matters, you can’t just dismiss that. To me this one is worse because that kid has grown up around the NFL, fair or not his dad’s reputation takes a hit for this. That’s a huge breach of trust between the son, his dad, the Falcons, the players, and the league. At the end of the day it’s just a prank phone call, but we can’t dismiss it as nothing

Rashod Bateman, Contract Extension: 3 year, $36.75 Million, $20 Million Guaranteed
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
You’re right, he’s $10 million a year, not $12 million 🙄
the bigger point I’m trying to make is the impact these guys have on the game. I’ll ask again, what would be considered a successful season stats wise for Palmer (and for Bateman, considering this thread is about his deal)? We know that Cook has an impact on every game, and at this point we are all hoping Palmer has an impact on some games.
Also, not really sure how comparing yards is a new thing….1400 yards is 1400 yards
