Since this season is a bit of a re-set anyway, I’d be very interested to know what Diggs could fetch in a trade. I also wonder what impact Hopkins would have on negotiations. Between the cute photo of Diggs watching the Chiefs celebration from afar followed by “13 seconds” and last year’s playoff debacle, it seems the Billsy aura is weighing heavy on him.

Good stuff. At least this has enough entertainment value to waste the rest of June. Perhaps in July we’ll get whispers about Allen’s elbow.

No kidding. Do Bills fans want credit for admitting this? Allen’s peers are Hurts and Herbert. Now that’s actually an interesting trio to debate and rank.

FA additions at OL/WR are depth/backup level talent. Harris can be a decent rotational back if healthy. It’s certainly possible Kincaid and Torrence contribute this year, but relying on them is risky particularly the TE. With the Bills continuing to spend on defense and McDermott as HC, it’s not all that provocative to suggest Allen isn’t being maximized.

Bears

You can’t take anything Miller says seriously.

Lawrence was one of the best QBs in the league during the second half of the season. His improvement is the factor here above all else. The question is whether his trajectory continues.

Burrow has made a Super Bowl, that’s all I meant. Sure there’s context, but that simple fact carries weight in these kinds of debates. (Allen was a disaster in the playoffs last year.) Your point about media is lazy.

No. He hasn’t accomplished anything at least compared to Mahomes (obviously) and Burrow. He’s still too much of an erratic imploder. If he’s able to overcome Beane’s OL this season, then perhaps he creeps back into the top tier conversation. We shall see.

No

Not sure about your “nightmare” fluff, but that set is indeed intriguing. Cook proved me wrong by the end of last season and I’m excited to see him as the lead back.

If and when the Jags ascend, it’s not because of their schedule. It’s because of the coach fit and a young, deep, talented roster. Also because of a QB who might very well become the next guy behind only Mahomes and Burrow as soon as this season.

Now Hopkins to the Pats actually makes sense.

17. Which also applies to wearing a jersey.

Not that I watch a lot of these content shows, but I find Cowherd to be very articulate and insightful. He’s able to carry a show without an abundance of guest spots nor scripted debates.

It’s a philosophy that lends to mediocrity since there can’t be enough money to go around.

I prefer to be the team cutting players past the summit as opposed to signing them.

Two of White, Jackson, and Elam will start depending on camp/health. All three will make the roster presumably. Johnson locked into the slot. Depth includes Dantzler, Benford, and Lewis. It’ll be interesting to see how seriously they push Benford/Lewis toward the fourth safety spot. Neal is a CB in title only. Austin will be cut/PS. White Jackson Johnson Elam Benford/Lewis/Dantzler (1 CB, 1 S, 1 cut) Neal (6)

Fair. White was a shell of himself when he returned. Elam was benched or starting on any given Sunday. It’s become clear Jackson isn’t fit for a featured role. Upside signings like this can only benefit the roster at this point.

I like this guy. Really hope he elevates his game coming to Buffalo much like Hyde and Poyer before him.

Beane has done a poor job with both lines. He wastes money and resources on one and tosses leftover scraps to the other.

The Oliver extension adds money to the cap, an extension that presumably helped Beane fit Floyd. Next year, Floyd will be gone, Oliver will be overpaid, and they’ll still need pass rush help.

Yes, as I said, the contract isn’t a concern. The concern is relying on vets approaching the downturn in their careers as quick-fix solutions. Floyd may or may not be productive/healthy this season at 31, but either way, Beane will be in the same situation next year with even more money dedicated to the DL and still needing pass rush help.

Not being negative. The contract is probably decent. He’s not getting top dollar signing this late. The risk, simply put, is relying on players into their 30s when the drop off in production/injuries is right around the corner. The defense needed another pass rusher desperately, so he fits. I get it.
