Chiefs president floats the idea of the team leaving
JohnNord replied to PromoTheRobot's topic in The Stadium Wall
Make Pat Mahomes chip in! LOL seriously, owners are cheap as hell when it comes to this stuff -
Bills Host DT Sebastian Joseph-Day on Visit
JohnNord replied to Warriorspikes51's topic in The Stadium Wall
LOL I could have sworn I saw #69 on the field. Why would they cut him? He was playing pretty well -
Bills Host DT Sebastian Joseph-Day on Visit
JohnNord replied to Warriorspikes51's topic in The Stadium Wall
He played very well last season including the game against Buffalo. I think he’d be a perfect rotational player -
He got a lot of mileage out that game and some of the other big plays he’s made. I wouldn’t call him pedestrian. I think he’s a good WR2 but like you pointed out he does have some flaws. My prediction is that he’s the same WR he was in Buffalo.

I’ve seen several different numbers on his usage. Not sure why - guess we have to pick someone to be believe

You can look at this two different ways: Positive. Samuel knows the Brady offense and had his best season with Joe as his OC. He also brings a dimension of speed and explosiveness has been lacking. Brady has also shown that he can utilize the talent better than Dorsey could as evidenced by James Cook, Khalil Shakir, Ty Johnson, and Dalton Kincaid who all came on after he took over. Negative. Samuel runs 70% of his snaps out of slot. The Bills have Shakir who established himself as an upcoming slot receiver. Is Samuel going to take snaps away from a promising player? Also at this point in his career Diggs seemed to trending into more of a slot receiver. You can argue that while Buffalo gets a player with more speed, they now have 3 WR’s best suited for slot WR and not a true outside WR unless you include Hollis. Either way it’s a signal that Buffalo is doubling down on what Brady wants to do on offense. They tried the same under Ken Dorsey and he never found a way to really get the most out of players like OJ Howard, James Cook, or Nyheim Hines. Hopefully that changes

Isaiah Hodgins Expected to Be Non-Tendered as RFA
JohnNord replied to JGMcD2's topic in The Stadium Wall
The way that some Bills fans talked about Hodgins in 2022, you would have thought they gave away an All Pro. He did well with the opportunities he was given last season in NY, but this season he struggled to do much of anything. As the NYG receiving corps improved a bit, Hodgins snapped decreased. I think if the Bills were to sign him, he’d be in the same position as 2022 as a WR5/WR6 trying to crack the roster w/o playing special teams -
Arik Armstead released, signs with Jax

Not when it mattered -
I mean…all the best to Siran Neal but I never understood why he was paid so well. He was ok on Special Teams but no one ever considered among the best in the league. He seemed to be the guy who made it downfield toward the goal line but usually messed up when it came to keeping the ball out of the end zone. He also couldn’t play defense. More times than not when you had Siran Neal in coverage it didn’t end well. This was an easy release for Buffalo
-
I see him as a bigger, better replacement for Trent Sherfield
-
Both are decent predictions. I’d bet on the Bills paying a little more for a safety. I know they’ll sign a lower end WR that could start just depends which one. I fully expect the Bills to draft a WR to replace Gabe as well
-
Best of luck for Poyer. I think he’s still good if you can bring him down in the box but he’s lost a step and it was impossible to keep him at the salary he was signed to.
-
The longer he’s out there, the lower his cost becomes. I think they could get him on a one year deal for $4M

Britt Reid Prison Term Already Commuted
JohnNord replied to RoyBatty is alive's topic in The Stadium Wall
Read this story and tell me if you feel the same: https://sports.yahoo.com/former-chiefs-assistant-britt-reid-cut-the-line-into-the-nfl-now-he-cut-the-line-out-of-prison-180036459.html It seems like justice wasn’t served for the family and it came under suspect circumstances -

It’s infuriating… -
You can find a pretty good space eating DT in the mid rounds. That’s what Buffalo needs

Britt Reid Prison Term Already Commuted
JohnNord replied to RoyBatty is alive's topic in The Stadium Wall
Mother of girl injured in Britt Reid crash shocked by commutation https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39708520/mother-girl-injured-britt-reid-crash-shocked-commutation This is gut wrenching… and I’m sure the pardon has nothing do with Parsons fandom… imagine trying to defend this. Draw your own conclusions… ”Jackson County prosecutor Jean Peters Baker told ESPN last week she would have never agreed to a plea deal if she knew Reid would serve only 1½ years. Parson, a self-proclaimed Chiefs fan, attended the Super Bowl in Las Vegas last month where the Chiefs won their third Super Bowl in four years. He received a tattoo to commemorate their win in 2023. Miller said she was not notified by the governor's office about the commutation, and she said she has not personally heard from Reid or his family since the accident. Asked if she would take their calls, she said "no." -
Britt Reid Prison Term Already Commuted
JohnNord replied to RoyBatty is alive's topic in The Stadium Wall
I completely disagree…Britt also has a prior record and deserved way more time. Because he’s a Chiefs fan and doesn’t want to fathom the possibility that his favorite coach could be involved with getting his son out of trouble which he’s continually done for the past two decades. -
I like the idea of signing DJ Reader to a one-year deal. Seems like the perfect option

You honestly believe that his last name had nothing to do with it? Come on man? -

JohnNord replied to RoyBatty is alive's topic in The Stadium Wall
It’s infuriating to hear Reid was released. I would be shocked if Andy’s relationship with the governor premeditated this. I’ll hesitate to make any judgement about Andy as a person or a father because we don’t know for sure - but I would question whether a release is helpful for Brit or just another way to enable him -
I would be pumped to have Samuel and I think Brady would do well find ways to get him involved. My main concern is someone replace Gabe. Last year the offense stalled because there was no threat to go deep and outside of Diggs no other receivers could beat man coverage. They need a solid WR that can do both. Hopefully round 1

How many of players let go offered to take salary cuts to stay?
JohnNord replied to Saxum's topic in The Stadium Wall
I agree and would throw Hyde in the mix as well. The team needed to get younger either this season or next and I think it’s a self-aware move to make these changes -
How many of players let go offered to take salary cuts to stay?
JohnNord replied to Saxum's topic in The Stadium Wall
I don’t think so. That happens around training camp but not usually in March due to the dead cap. Morse for example…he cost the Bills around $8M in 2023. If the Bills were to re-sign him after releasing him it would still carry a $3M dead cap. So if he signed a one year contract for, say $6M, he’s actually more expensive in 2024. Someone made a good point online while arguing that the “cap isn’t real.” They said moving on from Tre, Poyer, Mitch was more due to their age than it was the salary cap.
