Bring in the UFL kicker

I don’t think the schedule is getting released this Thursday. With the NFL making a show of the release, we would have heard about it by now. The only thing you can find online is that it’s coming in May

I hope Hyde retires unless the Doctors say he’s 100% healthy. Neck injuries are not something you want to mess around with or grow old with. If cleared, I’d love to have him back on a one year deal. Or, if he does retire, bring him on in some form of coaching capacity.

No. I also would avoid interacting with him unless Josh was right there too

I mean, him and Kelce waving goodbye to the fans after the last playoff game probably didn't help. Not to mention his post game handshake with Josh this season, his obnoxious wife, and sexually assaulting TikTok brother. What's not to like?

McD just requested you be banned from the board

I mean, your statement ended with "He would be an asset to the Bills." So....

I saw the thread title and just knew I'd find you in here 🤣

Thanks for sharing. Maybe I'm spoiled or ungrateful, but I find the whole new stadium thing to be underwhelming and more of a negative. For all the negativity about pricing, PSL's, and the affect on longtime fans, seeing the new stadium just makes me angry. Maybe I was expecting more out of it, but I just feel like it'd rather keep things as they are. I don't see an overwhelming improvement with this new stadium that makes the experience drastically better and worth all the hassle that's come along with it. I know that's naïve and the stadium has structural issues, but this outcome just feels like a step in the wrong direction for the city and the fans. It's soured my opinion on the Pegulas and the NFL, and only reinforces the money grab this stadium has turned out to be

Great signing, 3 years ago...

You cared enough to read the title, open the thread, and response. So, you tell me

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/40052147/how-new-england-patriots-decided-qb-drake-maye-future-no-3-2024-nfl-draft The Vikings apparently offered #11 and #23, plus their #1 in 2025. Now, I'm not sure if they did this before Maye fell to 3rd, or overall prior to the draft. Without that, there's no way to know if Maye was the target

But is that only because they keep restructuring every year into bonus money?

Yes, Pat and Josh being 8th and 9th on this list should be adjusted after this season.

I see what you're saying, but you also need to take care of your own. Josh is now severely underpaid on the market and I think they need to give him a new deal after this season. He is easily the face of the franchise and we are nothing without him. He's barely been in the top 10 for his position and making 13 mil less per year that the top guys. As fans and the owners, we should not want him to have that deal.

If we weren't so stacked at the slot, I would be interested in Boyd and Renfrow. Although, Renfrow did seem to fall off a cliff and I'm not sure if that's just a factor of being a Raider. I'd be good with Yannick and Hyde on one year vet min deals

With all of this turnover we see with sportscasters, I wonder how much of it is based off audience viewership feedback vs wanting to bring someone in at a lesser salary?

You can be in a transition year and still get a future star at receiver. Let’s transition on defense and support Josh. Let the offense carry us for once. It’s doesn’t have to be fully either or

No

If Coleman works out, great. But I just don't see how taking the 9th best receiver, 2nd round player, is us addressing the loss of Diggs and giving Josh the support to push us to the next level. Considering that the only other starting position we drafted was S, I'm even more bothered by the Coleman pick. If Coleman was the LAST player on their list, why did we not move up and grab someone else? I don't think Thomas, Worthy, or Legette was on their list, or they would have taken them. I think most people here would be okay if we gave up everyone we've drafted so far, and next year's first or 2nd, to have moved up to 9. What makes me question Beane above all is, how is Coleman the only receiver in this deep class in the top 10 that they wanted? And if the answer is that Coleman wasn't the only player, why did we not make moves to get someone else? We keep dumping assets into the defense only to have that unit fail us time and time again. We have NEVER really prioritized supporting Josh in these drafts with a premiere player, outside of Kincaid.

What bothers me the most about Franklin and Walker is that we met with them so many times post combine. For Franklin, if the combine hurt him so bad, why did we keep meeting with him? Most of the players we met with are either gone or will be UFA's. Just seems like we didn't get the guys we wanted, or just wasted those visits.

I saw that too and threw up in my mouth a little

@GunnerBill Any idea why DB DJ Tampa is falling?

Take it with a grain of salt. He fell for a reason and I trust the GMs. I just want my ego to feel better 😋
