it is a lot to invest in a guy who isn’t going to play. The drop off between having a top-5 backup and a top-20 one isn’t that much either. For example, the rams just signed Jimmy G to a 1-year deal. Seems like that is the better move.
I can understand your viewpoint, but I disagree that there is not a big drop-off from a top 5 backup to a top 20 backup.
For example:
- 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.
One is our backup QB. The other is Philly's.-

It’s apparent he likes to create drama
And why does he do this?
It does no good.
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.

I don't think there is any fire whatsoever here. None at all.
You may be right. But there sure is a crap ton of smoke regardless.
If this is really just a lot of people making up fake stories (like Stef calling a Texans WR to ask about the organization), I dont know what is the benefit for such a story.
The same tweeter who said this, also said that Snell will be an Astro (and had a text screenshot from an insider). So If that ends up happening, then i'll give him some credibility. -

Where's there's smoke...
The Houston stuff has been percolating for a while.
I just dont think it's feasible for us with the dead cap it would create. -

Could Diggs restructure and make his contract more tradable?
Honestly, I’d be all for it.
The future money, yes.
But not the past money. And past money includes his deals we restructured and pushed that money into the future.
Which is why I am SO against constantly restructuring deals and why I told everyone who would listen that the Bills wont be restructuring Diggs deal this season (because it would tie their hands to him for more years). -

First ballot HOF for sure.
Where would most put him on top 100 of all time?
It's hard because DT doesn't make the splash plays.
I'd say maybe somewhere around 50-70.
Great question and really difficult to quantify.
In his prime, there are only a handful of defenders (all-time) id take over him. Very few players could take over games like could.Even when was think of today's very good players, how many really take over a game? Not many. Donald did that. A lot. And in key moments.

Maybe they just think he is worth that much as a backup QB…. Which he is not.
I disagree. I think he is.
In fact I think he instantly becomes a top 5 backup in the NFL, which is very valuable.
Howie Roseman is one of the greatest GM's in the history of the NFL and I think this is another very solid move by him.
I think Howie is also counting on drafting very low, which makes this closer to a 4th round pick. -

Yeah, no.
Davis posted 56%, 52% and 56% his last three seasons. Curtis Samuel caught 79%, 69% and 68% over his last three full seasons. That's not a "few points".
I should have been more clear - I was talking about contested catch rate. Because contested catches is what Gabe really struggled with. If anyone touched him in any way, he would drop it.
Samuel is similar.
He has a 45% career contested catch rate. Gabe is 42%. For comparison sake, Diggs is 13 percentage points higher.

We now have people to catch the ball 😱😱😱
Seriously, though, this is incredible news! Stoked that it's NOT just a 1-year. Beane knows we need continuity in the WR corps. Samuel reunited with Brady. Stoked!
His contested catch percentage is only a few points higher than Gabe, unfortunately.
We really need a better WR. Hopefully the draft brings us one.

Hope you’re right.

I know jack squat about this player, but I can tell you the Eagles forum is celebrating his departure.

The overhead fry station is better. The seats, when they worked, had a built-in contact/switch, so they were off until you lowered your seat to sit in it. So, you'd be sitting on cold plastic until it warmed up. If you kept standing during a game (stand/sit/stand/sit/etc.) your seat kept "turning off" every time you stood.
Plus, I've had people say to me how cool the stadium looks at the night games on TV with the red glow from the club seats.
100% agreed. The overhead heaters are a significant improvement.

Reid didn't win a SB till he got to his 2nd head coaching job, and after 13 years HC experience in Philly
I'm confident McDermott can do that to.Large caveat: Reid had been to a Super Bowl and numerous Championship games by his 7th season (which McDermott just finished).

Anyone here collect? If so, what are some of your most prized Bills related items?
I mostly have some signed mini helmets and photos, but I do have an OJ Simpson rookie card, Kelly & Tasker rookies. Have some mini helmets and photos signed by a number of the 90s Bills. Not much of a jersey guy.
May need to add something from Josh Allen to the collection.
Go Bills!
Here is mine:-

My guess is they have an out in 2 years. -

Rich get richer.
Barkley’s contract is for $37.75 million and includes $26 million fully guaranteed at signing. The deal is worth a maximum of $46.75 million.-

Did any of them watch the show called the NFL? Like I'm sure he's a nice guy, but what would make anyone think he's anything more than a bridge at this point?
Lol I agree with you.

He can change his future money, but he cant change his past money.
