One thought if I’m advising Cook. And oh I’m not 😆.. to the above thought of the value of $1M now in the future. What is the value of playing with a perennial SB contender? With a top 5 QB and very good OL? A really nice 3year deal that averages $11M a season with significant guaranteed $$$. It replaces his $5M this year by $6M. Allowing his high end contributions with 50% of the snaps for career longevity? His brother was more in the 70% range and it shortened his career. Multiple examples of guys who held out for big $$$ left great situations and were out of those contracts after 1-2 years. Let’s say he goes to a another team like Dallas. Is he better off in 2 years? Not sure 🤷🏻‍♂️Careful what you wish for.

With the 8th pick in the TSW 1.0 Mock draft, the Carolina Panthers select Shemar Stewart, Edge, Texas A&M. GM-The Panthers will likely try to trade down in this spot, particularly if Jeanty and Sanders are still on the board. Stewart is possibly the most athletic edge prospect in the draft. He’s a potential bust or boom. With a big need at this position the Panthers take a shot. @Kirby Jackson and the New Orleans Saints are on the clock ⏰

But does he have a mancave dedicated to himself? And a Rolls on a rookie contract to attract his next angry GF 🤷🏻‍♂️🫢.. I didn’t think so 😆!!!

6 weeks for PED’s. The expectations of injuries. A high pick like Grant and a lower pick to fight it out for a roster spot. Seems like at DT the Bills typically have injuries.

Panthers Bears Steelers

BB on Cb’s who can’t tackle. Think they like Thomas from Florida State and Burke from Ohio State as they are good run defenders. I would think one of those goes to the Bills at 56 or 62.

Very good point. Just not sure it’s this year. So I agree either late round this year or relatively early next year.

Bills picks-2 DT, 2 CB, 1 Edge, WR, LB, S, OL. DT, CB, Edge/S are first picks imho 🤷🏻‍♂️

Grant does it all.. and it currently is a passing league.

You do know that the Bills tried to get Thomas? That has been documented by multiple sources. Douglas was a solid trade I’m just stating the facts.

So just sign Benford? What exactly would you have done? Let the rest go and do what? Sign Milton for $21M.. this DT draft is outstanding. I fully expect the Bills to take both a 1 and 3 tech DT. A CB #2 opposite Benford. Then draft or go into FA next year to replace the rest ?

That’s fine as an opinion. What exactly what you have done? Provide examples. Traded a 1st for Metcalf and a $30M contract ? Milton Williams at $21M ? Just wondering 🤷🏻‍♂️

Correct and your expectations are higher for a 3rd round pick mid season? That helped the Bills D significantly. Cooper I will concede didn’t work out. But both mid season were viable trades to help the Bills win. Rather Bills do that than nothing mid season.

You are the only person I’ve experienced who says Hufanga, Holland, and Milton are elite. Heavy overpays by all accounts. Metcalf and Reddick are good but not elite. FA overpays isnt how rosters are built for success in the NFL. It’s primarily via the draft and keeping your own good players. He’s sacrificed this season by not overpaying in FA for above average players but keeping his own at below market value? Benford is a better value than any player you have listed. Good chat it’s clear we won’t agree. But I wish you good day sir. Go Bills 👍

You are doubling down that the Douglas trade was bad? Did you watch him play in the first year? He was outstanding.

All good. We are pretty much on the same page overall 👍

All good points. I’m just asking who are these players? How are you acquiring them? Metcalf perhaps would be considered an impact player with Allen, but he was good not great in Seattle. Pitt has a more valuable 2nd round pick. So what a 1st and a $30M contract? Not getting Benford signed would seem a regression as you note. He’s a top 5 10 corner and impacts every game. The top DE’s in FA got locked up. Bills don’t sign Groot, Bernard, Shakir ? How are they better? BB has missed on some key picks absolutely but hit on many others. The Bills have drafted very late for years. BB is a top 5 GM. Is it enough to get the Bills a SB ? We shall see. I’m waiting for an explanation of what this off season he should have done differently 🤷🏻‍♂️

Again you state your disagreement with BB and his approach. What impact players were you going to add. Open to examples 🤷🏻‍♂️

Seems the rest of NFL and media think the Bills have effectively kept their young core. And at reasonable cost while addressing the DL with Bosa, and the suspended players. And the draft offers strength at DT and CB while they have 3 players to draft in the first 62. So, to say the Bills will be similar doesn’t align with reality. They have reset this team while getting rid of high cost vets in the backside of their careers. How might they have approached it better ?

Are you suggesting the Douglas trade for a 3rd was bad? Cooper maybe, but the team scored 30 pts a game and he took attention from others and was injured. Cooper maybe is looking for a deal too high for age and production. Sad on Hollins is where I’ll agree.

Struggles with man?? Based on what ? Statistics show in all situations he’s a top 5 corner. He may be better at zone but struggles in man 🤷🏻‍♂️

I don’t think a 2nd is unreasonable. It depends on signing potential. If Bills are offered 10M and he’s firm on 15M you see what teams would part with a 2nd. Las Vegas and Dallas come to mind as well as possibly the Browns and Chargers. If no offers you franchise if needed. But a long hold out type drama is not how the Bills roll.

Absolutely! Funny reading social media responses. As if the Bills wildly overpaid him. Hysterical and then solid football fans who know the value. Great comedy on a Saturday pre elite 8 games !

Cook unlike Benford has taken negotiations publicly. The last guy who carried on like that got traded for a 2nd rounder this year. I’m not saying it will happen but Cook to LV or Dallas for a 2nd would not shock me 🤷🏻‍♂️.. strong RB draft. Gives Bills 3 2nd rounders one of which they use on a home run threat RB ? Call me crazy but?

Seems an odd place for the diva! Who freaked about the Bills because they couldn’t win the big one.. as if he was separate from it. Texans made sense. Pats in a rebuild is a $$$ grab. But who other than them were going to offer those $$$. If he really wanted to win he signs a one year deal for $ 8m-10m ..nope it’s fooling the weak.
