Beane and McD have been here longer than 5 years.

Things we know for sure. Nobody in the NFL wanted to pay Damar Hamlin more than the 63rd highest safety salary to add them to their roster. You can do with that information what you will when it comes to his reputation around the league.

I don’t know Bryan Cook as well, but if someone wants to argue he’s also not a good player, i won’t disagree.

He doesn't belong in the starting lineup. But he has been because we have had no one better. In 2022, he allowed a 144 rating when targeted. He’s not good. You can have a good defense with a player who doesn’t belong in the starting lineup. We have managed around Hamlin fine. But none of that makes him “average” or “solid,” he’s just not good. And the less he plays, the better the defense will be.

He commanded the 63rd highest safety salary in FA this offseason. The NFL told you what they think of him. 63rd best safety in a league where there’s only 64 starters He’s making the same salary as Siran Neal playing ST. The debate is over

no man. if Hamlin is the weakest link on the 2024 defense and “average,” the defense wouldn’t have been mediocre in most stats and terrible in a couple. Despite having 2 INTs, he allowed a 103 rating in coverage. Despite playing nearly every snap last year, he crawled back to the Bills for a near vet minimum deal. He is the 63rd highest paid S in the league in an FA market. He’s bottom of the barrel. He’s not average.

The defense was such a mess last year, we spent a whole offseason trying to fix it.

He is not average. He is bad and slow. But he is the best we have.

Shenault did not shine. He was an easy cut to me. the Shenault love or thought he had made the roster always had me thinking I was taking crazy pills. I did not see it, at all.

Well when Larry O is on the books for the next 3 seasons, I don’t want to hear complaining that there’s no cap space. We make our choices to roll 5 deep at DT and have to live with them.

You said we got lied to by Larry O and that’s why we are in this position. its not true. we knew he was going to be suspended for 6 weeks and signed him anyway. As far as him being signed because our DT depth sucked. #1 are we 100% sure he makes the roster #2 that DT depth included Jordan Phillips, who we are bringing back presumably because he has something to add to DT depth

I would like to test this theory asap by winning the first one, but I can’t agree. I think a small minority of folks would grumble about multiple rings. The large majority would be quite pleased.

Somewhere on a Minnesota fan forum, someone is saying “hey come on, we won 14 games last year, and we made the playoffs 2/3 years, what is there to complain about?”

I am not. Beanie renegotiated his offer to Larry O after the suspension came down. Because he was not signed.

Um i thought he got a larger portion guaranteed for injury at signing
