This. What the Bills do is probably not out of line with the rest of the NFL. This is an old article from 2015 and talks about the top 350 players that CBSSports rated as draftable rather than those actually drafted but they found that 149 out of 327 draft prospects were team captains with the remaining 23 from teams that only had game captains. So basically about 4 out of every 9 drafted player is a team captain. So having 3 team captains in a draft is pretty much par for the course.

Maybe, but Moore was 4th in yards per catch among Brown receivers with at least 20 receptions last season (Jeudy 13.7, Tillman 11.7, and Cooper (CLE only) 10.4). He was even behind one of their tight ends, Jordan Atkins at 9.4. If Moore was going deep he wasn't catching very many of them. Plus there's still the issue that he's an entitled primadonna like Diggs without the production to justify it.

61 receptions on 102 targets (59.8% reception rate) and you can't argue the low catch percentage was because he was going deep since he only got 538 yards for 8.8 ypc.

There's always a chance and the Bills don't have a lot of options but my guess is this will end the same way the Claypoole experiment did.

Moore's been a headcase at both New York, Cleveland, and even Ole Miss. It is basically a Chase Claypoole roll of the dice except that Claypoole at least had one productive season in the pros. https://www.si.com/nfl/jets/news/new-details-emerge-elijah-moore-profane-outburst-jets-trade-request-mike-lafleur https://sports.yahoo.com/elijah-moore-sidelined-vs-bengals-135039804.html https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/28189413/ole-miss-wr-elijah-moore-apologize-urinating-dog-celebration

I would definitely be in favor if they did this instead of adding an 18th game but definitely not if they do this and add an 18th game.

For what its worth, several Jets have came out and said that Rodgers was a good influence in the locker room though it is interesting that it has been mainly defensive players saying this.

Right, the story is trying make it sound like Jackson's trying to do something ridiculous when it is something pretty standard. But like you said, however, it's more fun to make fun of Jackson.

Lamar Jackson isn't trying to trademark the number 8, Jackson (or more likely his lawyers) was contesting a particular form that Earnhardt was trying to trademark. In fact, Earnhardt said that it was a backup that they submitted in case they couldn't get the form of 8 they wanted. Since Earnhardt got the trademark for the 8 he wanted, he has already withdrawn his second submission. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/motorsports/dale-earnhardt-jr-explains-why-he-gave-up-trademark-to-lamar-jackson-so-quickly/ar-AA1CCCw2 This stuff happens all the time.

Actually it was Tyreek Hill that filed for the divorce though later he claimed the filing was made by one of his staff without his knowledge: https://business.mammothtimes.com/mammothtimes/news/read/43876394/tyreek_hill_fires_‘bonehead’_staffer_who_dolphins_star_says_mistakenly_filed_divorce_papers

It makes sense that you are bad at positions that you spend resources on, especially with regards to draft capital. If you use a high draft choice at a position and the guy is a bust, you will need to do it again.

There's no way that the Jets have 250 VPs and SVPs. If they are offering 170 buyouts, its getting reasonably low in the organization.

Kind of strange. You usually offer these mass buyouts to downsize but a quick Google claims the Bills have 750 employees while the Jets only have 250. So it doesn't appear the Jets organization is bloated.

People around the league has seen this for a long time. Three former Bills front office people have been/are NFL GMs -- Brian Gaine, Joe Schoen, and Dan Morgan. That doesn't happen if other teams don't hold the Bills' front office in high regard.

Forgot about Rudolph but they seem to be all in this season picking up DK.
