Nice. From what I'm hearing, it will cost almost $19M to franchise Edmunds? If Beane tries to sign him, I can't see him signing for anything less than like $15M per given what Roquan Smith just got. That wouldn't leave much at all for any other signings. I'd let him walk at this point unless he's willing to take the same deal we gave Milano.

I think we really need to shop Ed. Whether they do it or not is another story, but he's sucking up a a lot of money with not much to show for it. We'll know pretty quickly how that's going to go. If it doesn't start offense heavy along the lines of: 1. WR 2. OL 3. OL We're in trouble.

That's your answer to this question? "Outside of Josh Allen, who do YOU believe the Bills have DRAFTED that's all Pro caliber?" You're joking, right? 😂 PLEASE tell me you're joking.

Cincy can't get too crazy since they are staring down having to pay Burrow $45M to $50M a year starting in 2025 as well as Ja'Marr Chase coming off his rookie contract the same time. They can't really afford to take on many huge multi-year contracts, but could do some bigger 1 or 2-year deals if needed. The Chiefs are looking at having to pay Jones $20M for 2023 at a $28M cap hit. But you're correct, they are sitting better than we are.

LMAO, In honor of your ability to keep your QB constantly running for his life and even almost getting him killed a few times, come join us in Las Vegas for some flag football where we promise you don't actually have to be good at all.

That's easy to say after he suffers a season ending injury. Before he got hurt, he's exactly the piece of the defense we've been missing and he made everyone on the line better because he demanded more attention. We probably don't win the regular season game in KC without the plays he made there. Harrassed Mahomes all game, had 2 sacks, 2 TFL, and created the pressure that caused the game ending INT.

😂😂😂

Not exactly poor, but definitely not good either.

I forgot about Shannon Sharpe. He's a young 54. 3 TE formations here we come! 😂

Tony Gonzalez is still available at a spry 46 years old and Shannon Sharpe is still a young 54. Why not, right? LMAO

Even if he could play, he's probably going to want around $8M to do it based on what he made in Tampa. Combine that with what Knox is getting, that's way too much to have tied up in TEs, a position that Dorsey still needs to figure out what he's doing with. When you look at our offense, TE isn't one of the areas that immediately screams for attention like the O-line and WR2 do.

Can't block. Utterly useless to us. Just a glorified WR, only slower.

Yep, if all the same coaches are returning sans the Safeties Coach, then logic says they think it's all the players. But as he also said, they've got problems with the cap, so getting the right players is going to have to come from the draft. He's going to have to have one phenomenal draft is all I've got to say. Going to have to have more success than he's had on a lot of picks that haven't produced many impact players on this team outside of Allen (jury is still out on last year's draft class).

I'm honestly wondering how many other Guards they went through who turned it down before they got to Saffold? It's almost like they were looking at the guard rankings and accidentally picked from the wrong end.

You're speaking as a person who has the benefit of hindsight, which they don't have. They went into that game with the game plan they had and got their butts whipped on both sides of the ball. If you can't get any pressure against an O-line missing 3/5 starters, that's more than coaching. If your own O-line can't protect their QB against a 3-man rush, that's more than coaching and their PFF grade reflects that. When you have a player who was made to look absolutely foolish on the offensive line coming out and saying they were out of gas, which is essentially an admission they(or at least he) quit 2 games from the SB, I'm not just blaming the coaches. They all bear responsibility, and any quitters need to go find another job where they're allowed to just collect a paycheck without any responsibility or accountability. Say what you want about Diggs, but we need more players with that kind of intensity, who aren't cool with losing, and who would never shamelessly admit they quit.

Again, I'm using what actually happened on the field that day. We're not talking about different games; we're literally talking about the same game. You're using hypotheticals to say things would be different in the very same game had that just done x, y, or z, when there's nothing we actually saw on either side of the ball that would support that. We were thoroughly outcoached and thoroughly out-muscled on both sides of the ball. We couldn't stop their offense on the ground or through the air, our best receiver is ranting on the sidelines how he's not getting the ball because Josh couldn't get it to him because he's running for his life and throwing bad balls, and now I'm being told we could've somehow won the game had we simply done this thing differently. That's simply not rational thinking. I'm sure there's lot's of things they would've chosen to differently in lots of games, but they don't get the benefit of hindsight and they don't get a do-over.

Yep, if a player's future may be up in the air down the road do to age, injury or both, restructuring a big contract should be avoided. Someone like Josh, on the other hand, makes a lot of sense.

Frazier made a bet before the game and the bet was to see how poorly he could call the game and still not get fired. Looks like he collected.

Re-sign him? That should be completely out of the question and why would we want him back? A rookie would do better than he did this year. Certainly couldn't do any worse.

He's not. He does what they need him to do to win. Some people see that as being MVP-worthy and he should be in the running. I don't think the discussion about Allen vs Hurts even matters though because Mahomes is clearly the MVP, IMO.

They still had to score points and they put the ball in the endzone 4 times on the ground against one of the best defenses in football. The point remains they don't need Hurts to be a Josh Allen to win. We always need Josh Allen to be Josh Allen to win.

I came extremely close to turning the TV off on that play.
