No one is paying Ramsey over the next 4 years. Thats not how NFL contracts work

Extremely odd. Maybe Minkah wanted contract renegotiation with only 2 years left, but this feels like the Dolphins got better and the Steelers got worse

Minkah Fitzpatrick

There’s something ironic about a game with a weed username fearmongering over gambling and integrity.

Making the playoffs twice with 2 different QBs in Cleveland is as impressive as anything McDermott has ever done.

Sean Payton has 6 wins against Andy Reid FYI.

I mean OJ went to trial and the Patriots lost a draft pick. none of that happened with the Bills. I remember you even said for Bills fans to not get too attached to that extra first rounder we picked up. But of course, we hung onto it. And you said the Carolina Panthers “complained” but I haven’t seen any evidence that happened either. Or that they leveled any kind of accusation. So again, maybe the Bills and McD carried over some info from the Panthers. It wouldn’t be that surprising. But now the story/narrative has taken on new legs over the years.

Sure but that doesn’t change the evidence from being circumstantial. I don’t know. I think it’s very plausible. I do think we’ve gone to “circumstantial evidence” from “common knowledge.” Which was my point. You can have suppositions. They may even be true. But arguing it’s fact, and using that fact to malign Beane’s character imo is a bridge to far. And I ***** HATE Beane lol.

Maybe. Maybe they were determined to make it work until they got the offer for the second and couldn’t pass it up. we don’t know. what we do know is factually 100% not true is that we entered the 2024 offseason over the cap because of the Diggs trade.

That’s kinda my point. It’s “common knowledge” because we all kinda thought it happened. But none of us really had any info about it. Your “evidence” boils down to @HappyDays being curious. This is probably some sociological phenomenon where if something is repeated enough, it becomes factual. It’s not shocking you don’t have a link Carolina complained. Because I don’t think it happened.

You said we were over the cap BECAUSE of the Diggs trade which was of course easily proven false. But really it ties into this narrative that 2024 was this year where we couldn’t add talent. Which is just not true. Samuel was the 4th highest paid WR that period. Good for one of the 30ish highest paid WRs in the NFL at the time by AAV. What REALLY happened is that he was basically a disaster of a signing and was 178th in yards. We made a similar valued signing in 2025 with the addition of Josh Palmer. So if Curtis Samuel was the “consolation prize” because of the Diggs trade (which he wasn’t of course) or because the cap situation was just “so bad” then 1 year later in apparently MUCH better cap shape, we signed….. basically the same value player…..again.

Curtis Samuel was the 4th highest paid WR that free agency period. Him and Mack Hollins were signed weeks before Diggs was even traded. So really this is completely misleading and revisionist history.

Where is the link the panthers complained

Yeah it was “common knowledge” based on supposition, largely by you if I recall correctly. dont get me wrong, I’m not saying I necessarily disagree. I just am asking if there’s any proof or if you actually heard something

What is your source on that is my question. a supposition is one thing

If that’s the case, I’m on pace to have been posting for 400 years by Christmas. Too much pride

No one is saying this. Lots of folks are saying they wouldn’t pay the Dak/Lawrence tier. Which is why I included Baker. Because he’s a tier above. IMO. I LOVE Baker. He’s 8-12 for me.

Someone has racked up 1 too many warning points. Don’t fall for his tricks@Simon

“Baker is the worst QB that I would give franchise money to” is not a controversial take!

Bro I STG I’m not having a Baker conversation I don’t care.

I’m more concerned that TJ has switched to offense, personally. In all seriousness, you are 100% correct. This offense’s only “explosives” come from Allen’s extending or Cook.

No I guess what I’m asking is about the “what Carolina believed” part

He was arguably a top 5 QB last year. 2 years ago he was almost out of the league. like I said, opinion noted lol.

Huh

What, again.
