The people awaiting off Shakir as just another slot receiver are going to be proved wrong IMO. He will be the primary backup to Diggs/Davis.

Elam is drinking from a firehouse right now. He has never faced competition like this. He is going against elite NFL talent every day. It is no surprise that he struggles occasionally but the reports from camp indicate to me that he has had his moments as well. He will be one well prepared rookie by the time the season starts. welcome to the school of Josh Allen and Stephon Diggs.

The expected slap on the wrist. What a joke.

Kumerow is not the Bills number 3 WR. That looks to be either Crowder or McKenzie at this point. Kumerow is 6 or 7 in reality. I get the point at outside depth and the choices made in DL vs WR investment people are trying to make but the situation is not as dire as some are making it out to be. The Bills had excellent production from that number 3 spot last year and have the potential to be better there this year. If Hodgins, or Stevenson, or Shakir do not prove to be decent enough outside depth during camp then I would not be surprised at a depth signing late but that remains to be seen. If the Bills lose Diggs for an extended period it will be trouble surely, but that is the same for any team on that above list, where none of the number threes listed has a chance of adequately replacing the number one guy. The Bills have worked on making their offense more versatile this year as a priority. We will have to see how that factors into the situation as well.

That is a very rational take, sir. Are you sure you belong here?

He's got a ways to go before he reaches the level of career backup. His current status is training camp fodder and practice squad QB.

I hate the red pajamas.

Well, good luck to them having now committed to the “anti-leader” as their franchise QB.

I am not sure how anyone has the energy to argue with trolls like this. It is like playing whack a mole with a preprogrammed robot. Einstein he is not.

Your crusade has become seriously boring.

You are delusional if you believe this. The Allen contract, for example, is a completely different situation. It was an extension for starters, and yes they moved money down the road. In the case of Watson, there could not have been a more flagrant overt attempt to mitigate the risk of suspension. This was Watson minimizing his downside plain and simple, foregoing salary and bonus in year one for guarantees in later years. There was nothing usual about that contract. Everyone else in the world sees this for what it is.

A reference would be nice. Maybe a link? You are the only a hole here buddy.

Clueless..

I got Victor Boldin. Who’s the other?

I think this is precisely the normal approach of law enforcement. The courts operate under an innocent until proven guilty presumption, at least theoretically. Law Enforcement does not. I think what that officer is saying is normal procedure, despite the attempt of the defense lawyer to twist it.

I think this is exactly where Beane’s head is and rightly so. They need to get younger and cheaper at the safety position. Perhaps Beane has some sort of magic trick up his sleeve that we do not see, but I doubt it. Poyer has put him in a tough spot, but he should hold firm to the plan.

The Dolphins cheerleading in this thread is sickening and without merit in my opinion. Tua has proved nothing and is highly unlikely to take some magical big leap. He is far more likely to be at or near his ceiling. His accuracy is overrated given the limited route tree he has run successfully. He is not impressive at all as a leader, and has not shown the ability to think the game successfully at all. He has shown himself to be fragile and relatively easy to defend given his limitations. Tyreek Hill is not going to fix Tua's shortcomings. McDaniels may cover them up for a while. Speaking of McDaniels, I fail to see the merit of the hype. He is young and obviously unproven as a HC. His system is Shanahan's, and the WCO at its base is hardly ground breaking in its innovation in this day and age. He will have his hands full trying to shape that bunch into an effective, consistent, winning team. Nothing in his background suggests he is up to that task. Maybe he is. We will see. All that said, if the stars align and the Dolphins are suddenly twice as good this year, they are still not on the Bills level and would be lucky to win a game against them. I do not expect that. They are mediocre to me unless and until they prove otherwise. They have proven nothing yet obviously. I do think they are the second best team in the AFCE though, borderline wild card team even if Doogie Howser, Head Coach actually proves to be somewhat competent. So the Dolfans in Bills clothing gushing over the scary fish can flame away but I am going on record as being in total disbelief that the Dolphins are a legitimate threat.

What a total nonsense article.

In an era of total mediocrity, he was one of the best mediocre players we had. Well deserving of the honor.

Either your reading comprehension is poor, or you are are being deliberately obtuse if you think that article from the the Boston media, which was based on some silly speculation game on NFL Network at a very slow NFL news time of the year, constitutes "rumblings around the league" or any sort of actual legitimate belief that Matt Jones could be an MVP candidate. No one in their right mind believes that. That has about as much chance of happening as Tua hitting Tyreek Hill in stride on a deep post.

Hardly qualifies as a groundswell does it? Slow day at NFL Network.

Yet another reason to hate the Browns.

I think Poyer is clearly last on that last in priority. Edmunds is still a young player, just entering his prime years. I do not see the Bills handing him top of the market money, but I do believe they want to keep him and will offer him a pretty fair deal. He is a five year starter, defensive captain, and defensive signal caller and despite Bills fan disappointments for various reasons, he is one of the better LBs in the league. He would not be easily replaced at all. Poyer on the other hand is closer to the end of his career than the beginning. This is a position they should be targeting to be younger and cheaper. If he sticks his feet in the ground on top of the market money and term, he will need to find it elsewhere. Whether he has been or is underpaid still is totally beside the point.

The Miami hype machine is in full bore, including our very own Dolphin cheerleader.

I will believe that Baltimore is a legitimate threat when they can demonstrate the ability to execute a modern NFL passing game against top opponents. They have not done so yet, and are down to scraps at WR. Until then, it is a defense first, run first team with a gimmicky QB who lacks downfield vision and ability to win consistently with his arm. I like the Chargers more than the Chiefs on paper but I am not sold on their Coach. Still, I think they take the West this year.
