Ya Digg?

It’s always amazing how quickly the narrative changes too. When he was drafted it was widely said that he needed a couple of years to be ready. He was made the starter sooner than anyone anticipated, struggled some but also showed that arm talent. After that rookie year people instantly forgot that he still wasn’t ready so when he struggled last year the narrative became he will always struggle because that was the hot take. It’s now funny to listen to a lot of these guys on tv and radio coming out and saying “I told you he has talent” when for 2 years they have been crushing him. The same 2 years that everyone at the beginning said he needed to get up to speed.

It's an insane amount of wishful thinking if you think he will sign for less than 30+ million a year because "he loves buffalo" or "loves the process" or anything like that. That's the going rate for a franchise quarterback. Beane knows this and that's what he is planning for. Stop thinking he will sign for less - he won't, and let's be honest, he shouldn't if he's considered a franchise quarterback. His agent won't let him sign for less and his teammates won't let him sign for less either. Everyone in football knows it's a business, they all want the top guys to get paid. If they are sold on him and think he's the franchise guy, the sooner they can sign him to an extension, the better

Uh oh, should we be worried about Tre? Gives up a touchdown last week, got burned by Diggs there, just got paid so now he's gonna dog it.....time for a trade?!?!? *Before you kill me, please realize this was said with large amounts of sarcasm - that's a great throw and catch

Totally different situation because.....well you see with him......you don't understand the bust rate of a guy like AJ......If you're not getting it by the 2nd game.... Also to pick on another rookie, Davis only scored 1 touchdown which is as many as the undrafted fullback/tight end scored

If someone says it's not an issue or it's premature to say it's an issue, they are putting blinders on. It's certainly an issue - that being said, the Bills finally have an offense capable enough of fixing that issue

It was a great, clean block-there has to be awareness by the defense too. He didn’t launch at him, he didn’t hit him in the head/neck, it was simply a bad call. The dolphins CB had pretty much literally no awareness on that play

I’m more surprised when Josh actually gets sacked at this point!

It’s deals like this that makes me continue to question why people think the Bills can’t afford their players. The rams are laying Goff, Donald, Ramsey, Woods, Kupp all too money plus they have Gurley’s dead cap hit on top of that. People need to stop saying the Bills can’t afford all of their players. I will say it again, if the Bills want to keep a player, there is no issue whatsoever with them keeping that player

If this comes of as condescending it's not meant to, but the Bills will have no problem signing these guys if they choose to sign them. Take a look around the league at what other teams are spending. Look how much money KC has handed out lately. New Orleans, Dallas, the Rams....they all have an incredibly high number of large contracts and they don't have issues. They even said this weekend that if Brees had retired New Orleans would've gone after Brady! If the Bills want to keep these guys, they will be able to keep them.

Convenient how he’s left out, isn’t it?

I think the fact that it was a conditional 7th round pick the Panthers were very aware of what could happen. We don’t know the full working of the trade so there could be things in there, but making the trade with less than a week before cuts leads me to believe they knew there was a high likelihood they were giving him to the Bills for nothing

Yikes-you say something like that and accuse the other side of being brainwashed?

Not a chance-he will be claimed by a team far higher on the waiver list. I doubt he even makes it past Washington at #2

I’ve said it before-if a team like the cowboys can pay all of the guys they are paying, if the Chiefs can afford all of the contracts on their roster including Mahomes huge deal, the 49ers have several large contracts as do the Seahawks, I’m not even a little bit concerned about the Bills guys getting paid. We just aren’t used to having guys that will get paid a second contract here. This is pretty much a “nothing to see here” issue

It always seemed as though we saw the max out of Fitz but most people felt as though Tyrod had more to give. I'm not saying that's the reality but that was the perception

Uhhhhhhhh what?? The guy threw almost as many interceptions as he did touchdowns-although to be fair he didn’t throw that many interceptions (40 Ted, 36 int). He will always be loved for the comeback, but man, to think a career back up quarterback would be better suited to run this team than Josh....yikes

Those giants linebackers would never see the field now except for goal line, 3rd and short, or 4th and short. Far too slow to keep up with the players today. As soon as the coach and QB see those guys in the field they make sure those guys at matched up on the slot or a RB

I don’t think getting Hodgins onto the practice squad will be very difficult. He’s a late round pick and there is no new film on him. I would find it hard to believe that he would pick a different team to sign with as well-he knows the system here so it is MUCH more likely he will play here than anywhere else. Honestly the same can probably be said about Duke...

Why is it greedy for the owners to make more money? Are you greedy because you ask for a raise at your job? Companies are willing to spend large amounts of money to have their name on a stadium, so why isn’t that ok? I hate this sentiment that because these guys have money any time they find a way to make more they are greedy. The Bills already give plenty to charity, much more than you or I could ever give.

I think it’s pretty obvious back up QB was not really a priority the last couple of years. They needed to upgrade a lot of positions and Beane has done a great job of that. I do think they have enough quality starters and depth that if Allen does go down for a game or two they have enough confidence in Barkley to do enough in those games. They know they need to upgrade the back up position, and perhaps they put a call in to gauge the I tweet of Dalton, Marriotta, etc. but they chose to focus their money and resources over the last couple of years on making the rest of the team better

I will admit I am probably nitpicking, but I don’t think it will be tough to sign Tre at all. He wants to be here and a deal will get done. Money is almost a non-factor in my eyes honestly. The chiefs are paying Mahomes all that money they just signed him for, are paying Watkins, paying Hill, have some guys on def that they are paying AND just made Kelce the second highest paid tight end in the league. The Seahawks also have huge contracts, as do the Niners, Cowboys, etc. and they always make it work. We are talking about the signing will be tough because we are laying Dawkins, Diggs, and maybe Milano before Tre? We just aren’t used to having this many guys who are worth keeping and paying more money to. if your front office guys are really good at their jobs (which Beane definitely is) you can always work out contracts to get the guys you want signed long term. Sorry, don’t mean to come down harsh on your post, but I see people say it will be tough all the time when it reality it won’t be that difficult.

I can’t believe this is being discussed AND to this length!! Moves like this is what the old Bills would attempt to do and what this board would kill them over! We finally have that young superstar and now people want to trade him for draft picks? People need to get over this idea that the Bills are only going to be able to pay 1 guy top dollar-look at the really successful franchises, they have paid multiple guys a lot of money. Paying Tre does not mean you won’t have enough money to sign any other guys, and saying he should be traded is just a ridiculous statement. The Bills finally have something positive going and some of you are ready to start all over. you know who trades away a top corner for a couple of picks? The Jags-do you really want this team to look like the Jags?

Everybody does to an extent. It's why we buy certain clothes, why some people buy a certain car, why you make a particular post on social media. I'm not saying it's the only reason, but everyone cares what other people think about them. For example, I'm a teacher in my "real life." You think it doesn't upset me reading what other people are saying about teachers and education right now? Why, because they barely made it through high school they know how to do my job and because I want my students and myself to stay safe that makes me lazy? Do those idiotic statements keep me up at night? No, but they definitely have an effect on me in the moment. It's the same thing with him, he's allowed to have a reaction. So to you being a man means you aren't allowed to react. Yes he is getting a ton of love, probably 10-1 the amount of hate. Think about how much hate he is still getting. You're delusional if you can say that it wouldn't bother you...you're just fooling yourself if you think that. There's a difference between playing a victim and having an angry reaction. "Being a man" also allows you to react every once in a while

Is he playing a victim though? I'm sure most people are saying they support him, but I'm sure there are a ton of idiots out there attacking him because he is thinking about playing football. Even if it's "just" 500 or 1,000 people who are saying negative things towards him, that's still A LOT of people being jackasses! I'd be willing to be that number is a lot higher than 1,000 people too...I'd be pretty upset if I had hundreds or thousands of strangers saying some probably pretty awful things to me just because I was thinking about not playing a game

I still don’t understand the mindset that it’s completely fine for a team to cut a guy before his contract is up but get unnecessarily upset when a player holds out. Holding out is the best leverage a player has to get paid more money-if you ever listen to the other players they never hold it against one of their teammates when they hold out. If it doesn’t bother the players, why does it bother the fans so much? Please don’t give me the well they make millions to play a game response, the owners make even more millions to just WATCH these guys play a game
