Last year Jones was willing to sign a contract that made him the 2nd highest paid DT in the league. Instead the Chiefs offered him an insulting (relative to his skill set) 3 year, $70M deal. This year they made him the highest paid DT of all time. When he was willing to settle for #2 paid in the league last year. In 8 months they went from offering him a deal worth a total of $70M to a deal where the guaranteed money alone is nearly 30% higher than that. KC rarely messes up. But they should have made him a fair offer last season and avoided this. They would have saved a good amount of money. That's good for us though. It’s obviously stinks they got him back, but it’s good that they paid more this year than they would have him if they just signed him last year.

Agreed. He should have been Super Bowl MVP. He turns 30 in a few months though. We can only hope this turns into a Von Miller situation where he loses it in a couple years. They would have had those rings even if they gave him this deal last year. I have no idea why they played hard ball with him last offseason, which pissed him off so much that he sat out games (though he clearly got over it), just to give him a record setting deal less than 8 months later. I guess I don’t see the benefit in that. I would have given him this deal last year, is my point. Alls well that ends well I guess.

I just don’t understand how a decent linemen and several draft picks are not worth more than a single 3rd round pick.

Ahh, sorry I missed it.

In what way is he better than either one of those guys? He was downright awful in Pitt. Probably the worst QB in the league the past two seasons. He single handily lost numerous Steeler games.

Do you have inside info or guessing?

He's really not.

Some very old and washed up names on that list.

I highly doubt this rumor is true. What kind of head coach would McDermott be if he let a CB coach keep his 1st round pick on the sideline for 2 years. Just sounds absurd.

Not everyone can golf, but most everyone can drink and play games. What if we rented out Dave & Busters for the night before? I went to a private party there and it was a blast. Lots of drinking, wings, and games. Drunk skee-ball is more fun than it has any business being.

Von must have seen this tweet from earlier 😉.

WOW. Good on Von for taking that hair cut. Never thought it would happen…

I expected this move until Bates was traded. Now im kind of scratching my head.

Beane today

Feels like we have a lot of holes between WR, Center, DB's.

Even if it was a pile of dung, do you really expect anyone in the Bills organization to say so? What employees of the organization say about their own project is absolutely worthless because they are paid to say it is great. This is akin to saying “Everyone who says that movie is terrible must be wrong - the producers and actors said it was great!” I have no idea whether it will be great or not. All I can say is that what they have released so far looks pretty milquetoast.

Like you, I don’t care if we have bisons or not. However: 1) I believe if you’re going to do something, do it right. Don’t half ass it. Do it full ass or no ass. 2) I don’t blame people who don’t like it and want to voice their opinion. After all, they are paying for these bisons. If the Bills were paying for this stadium in full, I’d give zero craps on what they do. Their money, their choice. But that is not what is happening here. New Yorkers are paying for a large portion of this stadium. And those who pay, should have a voice.

16 feet does feet a bit small for the Buffalo’s. Not that I really care if we even have them at all, but if you’re going to make them - why not make them a powerful striking feature? My “Go Bills” Christmas sign in front of my house is close to 20 feet tall and I made it myself 😂.

A two story house is typically around 25 feet (including the rafters).

Im starting to agree with you. Because I do not understand why our stadium, with limited features and the most milquetoast design is costing so much, when other stadiums that are striking and wonderful cost about the same.

I dont think he makes it to our pick, but yes i'd love him in Buffalo. I think he is going to be a Bengal.

I loved that show.

Aren’t Achilles injury a worse prognosis than ACL? I don’t recall where, but I do recall reading that that at some point.

Ah that’s right. Thank you.

It may be the prudent move to let Douglas walk considering his age. I just don’t know what our CB room is going to be like without him? Tre coming off 2 ACL injuries, Benford who is often injured, and Elam? Yikes.
