Yeah its a wonderful town. We actually chose it because it reminded us of Key West.

They must not be allowing you to take pictures or video. I would assume we would get leaks by now if they were allowing it.

I have a home in Dunedin and am there for part of there, if either you or Kwai want to meet up. There is a Bills bar there called Buffalo Charlies.

- The Steelers were 7-3 when Pickett started and finished the game last season. He had wins over playoff teams such as Baltimore, Cleveland and the Rams. He threw for over 200 yards in 60% of his games. - They were 0-3 with Trubisky starting. All of those losses came against non-playoff teams. He threw for over 200 yards in 0% of his games.

It's a lot to ask for. No wonder Allen keeps making comments like "who knows what will happen" and "I can't control that" when speaking of his future with the Bills. And we all know that if a reporter asked Allen if he will be here next year, he would definitely respond "I dont know".

Right about what? How do you know what he left minicamp about? We were never given any answers.

About 4M.

And him leaving minicamp on day 1 after a fight with the coach/gm. People forget/ignore/pretend a lot of these issues never happened.

Yeah I dont agree with Deion at all. On pretty much anything, now that I think about it.

Not that I want Sanders kid on the team, but his words do tend to have a lot of influence on college players in general. "I don’t want my kid [Shedeur] going nowhere cold next year. He grew up in Texas. He played in Jackson, played in Colorado. Season’s over before it gets cold in Colorado. I’m just thinking way ahead. I don’t want that for him.” “Let me tell you something that I have a problem with,” Deion told Russo. “And this kid can flat out play, I think he’s the best one on the board this year for sure. A kid that’s coming from California for the last couple years, right? And went to Oklahoma. That’s not terribly cold. Chicago’s cold, man. You gotta think about that kind of stuff when you’re taking a young man. Like see, when you take a guy from Ohio State and you bring him to Chicago, OK, I could understand that. But from California to Chicago? Not only that, they added what? One or two more games in the NFL. Seventeen games. Come on, man. You gotta factor in that stuff. That stuff matters." https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/deion-sanders-doesnt-want-shedeur-playing-in-the-cold-at-the-nfl-level

I'm still teaching my dog this lesson.

Wasn't circular at all. My argument is that there are no rebuilds when you have a franchise QB. You always make a run for the Super Bowl, every year. You responded by talking about a team that had a nearly 40 year old, rapidly declining QB, that was once great but is no longer considered a top tier NFL player. Perhaps you are confused by my definition of "franchise" QB. To me, that is not just a guy you have for a while. Its meaning is a top tier NFL QB. Is Jim Kelly a franchise QB right now? Of course not. But he was once. Age diminishes skill. Just as it did with Rodgers. There is a reason why the Jets are the only team in the entire NFL who was interested in trading for him. 10 years ago, there would have been half a dozen suitors all bidding against each other for Rodgers services. But there wasnt last year - because he was turning 40 years old and the NFL had seen a decline in his play. You mean like when he took the team to the playoffs in his second year and had 350+ yards by himself against Houston in a game where McD's defense crapped the bed on the final drive? A game where we were up by 2 scores at one point? The game where his top receivers were John Brown and Duke Williams? Diggs didn't make Allen. Just like Hill didn't make Mahomes.

Rodgers simply wasn't a franchise QB anymore. He got old (which is why it was ludicrous for NYJ to pay him all that money). The last third of that season he had fallen off to such a point that he threw 7 TD's and 5 INT's in those games. It was at that point that they saw the writing on the wall and deciding to move toward Love.

There are no rebuild years when you have a franchise QB. The Chiefs lost Tyreek Hill, Byron Pringle and Demarcus Robinson in one offseason. That was a loss of 178 receptions. They then won the Super Bowl.

Has anyone here been to the timeshare presentation yet? Or gotten an appointment yet? The Bills said it will be a very long waiting list, considering they have 60,000 people to show.

In what universe!? Talking about a teams options are what sports reporters and analysts do. They analyze! They talk about what the options are, and what would happen under each option. Spreading a rumor is taking an unsubstantiated piece of information and pushing it as a true fact. We have all done that before (on accident), but that is MUCH different than talking about all of a teams options and what would happen under each option.

I let him know that was incorrect. He is usually quick to correct any mistakes he makes.

Where did Florio spread a rumor? His article said: "The Bills have a decision to make this weekend. Trade him before the salary becomes guaranteed, cut him before it becomes guaranteed, let it become guaranteed and trade him after June 1, or let it become guaranteed (possibly with a restructuring to reduce his cap number) and keep him for another year." He listed all 3 options the Bills could make. Keeping him, trading him, or cutting him. He also gave the details for what would happen if they decided to move on from him. "His $18.5 million salary for 2024 becomes fully guaranteed this weekend. He has a 2024 cap number of $27.854 million. Trading him before June 1 would trigger a cap charge of $31.096 million. The Bills could cut him before the salary becomes guaranteed. If they do it with a post-June 1 designation, the Bills would take a cap charge of $8.849 million this year and $22.247 million in 2025. But, obviously, they’d get nothing for him." Where is the rumor spreading in that? It was all factual information, and acknowledgement that Diggs salary becomes guaranteed this weekend. Are you just making it up? Or are you applying a very low standard to "spreading a rumor" by labeling Florio questions of whether Diggs wants to be on the team and discussing the Bills options as "spreading rumors"?

I understand that you believe yourself to be the boss of others and therefore have the power to tell others what they should or should not do. Unfortunately for you, the remainder of society does agree with that belief. Reality is that you are the boss of only yourself. Therefore, as the boss of yourself, you have the choice to: A) Enter threads you do not like, get annoyed, post a bunch of insults, and (by doing so) drive the thread right back to the top of the page where you do NOT want it. B) Ignore the thread (or even the posters you disagree with), and therefore do not have to deal with threads or opinions you do not like. With these two choices in mind, which choice do you feel makes the most sense for you? Which do you feel would make you happier? ]Personally, if it were me, I would just ignore the thread. Since any reply I gave to a thread I don't like, just pushes the thread back to the top of the page. For example: As you can see on the home page, I've only commented in 1 of the last 10 threads posted. You can tell that by looking at the icons next to the thread. The dot next to a thread means you have not commented. The star icon means you have participated in the thread. Do you know why I haven't commented in the other 9? Because they are not interesting to me, or I do not believe my knowledge or opinion would contribute positively to them. So I ignore them. Maybe you should give that a try as well? I believe in you - You can do this!

I know you were responding to someone else, but to be clear I don't want Diggs gone. He is one of my favorite modern Bills ever. That being said, having $24M extra next year in cap space is very tempting. We watched New England give a masterclass in moving on from players a year early, rather than a year late, for close to two decades. It was smart and helped them continue to win. I wouldn't hate Beane if he decided to do the same here. As for Diggs comments, he knows what he is doing. He knows he is stoking the flames. He knows he is causing issues with fans. He is intelligent. As I said before, It's like poking a Bear with a stick and getting upset when he growls. "Why not just ignore the stick, Mr Bear?" says the human ... "How about you not poke me with it?" responds the Ursidae mammal. ...

This is right. And we technically save cap space either way. We would save $19M in cap space this year, and $5M in cap space next year. Mango made the excellent point that we could then roll that $19M savings into next year and open up $24M in cap space for 2025 by cutting or trading him post June 1st. Having $24M more to work with next year is tempting.

I think you're more than likely correct. The other side of this coin though, is keeping him for another season strips most of his value away. We would be trying to trade a receiver about to turn 32 years old next offseason. I dont see it happening. It's likely now or never.

Thats absolutely a good way of looking at it. It would cost us $8.8M in dead cap this year, but we would also save his salary and cap space. Therefore, we would open up nearly $19M of cap space by trading/cutting him post June 1st.
