dollars 2 donuts

@dneveu Well thought out and great take above, dneveu. It was a pleasure reading.

Supply and demand, SD. There was no market for him for various reasons. If you don't have a pressing need then why give up a pick and let one of your guys go? The Bills...had a very pressing need, and as Sal said, a 7th rounder two years from now is probably the lowest draft pick you could ever give up. If they don't take that from the Bills then they are just cutting him. They are top heavy at WR and want to get a better look at their guys that they think can help them. Additionally, they didn't draft him so they are not really married to him. Further, his remaining money may be part of a guaranty, so having someone else pick it up for free is a bonus.

Shaw, there is video from a tweet from Joe_Burns (?) earlier in this thread and it is rather telling to the extent of 19 throws shown over two games. Needless to say the word “target” is not a fair way to describe what was going on with those throws to Corey. doesn’t excuse everything, but does give some safe harbor on some of his reception history.

Colorado if we end up cutting him before the season (unlikely) we get to rest our hat on further cementing our legacy as the Kings of Dead Cap Money! ?

What does Marv say, Uncle Joe? WHAT DOES MARV SAY, UNCLE JOE?!!!! Once you start thinking about retirement, you are already retired. That's why he got hurt.* * I have no proof that is the reason why he got hurt and it is just pure speculation.

eball, we are starving for potentially good news about a position of critical need for this team. ...and you know we are a very social bunch!

What bugs me about that Common, and I know I am very naive about sports injuries, but hamstring injuries are ones that I just feel should never really happen. Stretch to be as limber as a rubber band and hydrate like crazy. As naive as I am I DO KNOW I am over simplifying it, but still.

Royale, consider yourself lucky, my friend. I have silver on my temples, chest, arms and back...maybe on my butt, too, however it is difficult for me to tell. Fortunately, the top of my head appears to be a basic olive skin toned color, so that's staying young.

Umm, excuse me? That is silver, not gray, and there is a rumor going around that when it is cut it turns to gold and that small starving children gather it up and sell it to Airport Plaza Jewelers so that they may feed their families. It's called the Internet, Royale, maybe you could use it every once in awhile and check your facts.

I just heard this on WGR...and after I got up off of the ground in disbelief I responded in this thread. is there a better definition of "low risk, high reward" than this?

This was such a nice story to add to the end of the playoff drought.

Enjoy your coffee this morning, transplant, because whether you realize it or not you have already won the internet today. I just don't get it, either. How can some of you virtually be aggro over this move, or are you just plan mad at Beane for not trading for Julio Jones? Browns fans can make fun of us in their tweets all they want (yes, can't believe I wrote that, either), but regardless of some of our optimism over some of these young guys we were eerily thin at WR.

Amen to that, Stuvi. Even if it isn't a trade it would be great to add a legitimate OLineman sometime before the start of the season.

Jimmy, no lie. Warmest. Reception. Ever for a visiting team.

I wanted to give this thread a little love. maybe it will catch the other one.

Is this the guy they had talked about trying to get on WgR a couple of months ago? Edit: I love this GM. I want Beane to have my babies, even though I am a guy.

I'd like to congratulate Shady for preventing this thread from reaching 200 pages. His side diffused things early with the way they handled themselves. Her side did too, but not really the way they wanted.

Man, not to get political, but I honestly don't know how with the above, and with respect to the Sheldon Silver thing a few years ago (a State wide investigation when once it got to Silver the Governor just shut it down), that the Governor just sort of gets to skate by on these things. Honestly, I am not talking a Republican or Democrat thing, or even a Conservative or Liberal issue. It is a "How is no one in this State, media wise, pointing the finger at you with some of what is going on" thing. That aside, yeah, we aren't really going to get nor should we expect a lot from the State.

OT, I gotta tell you, as time goes by I am becoming more and more comfortable with keeping the team in OP. Especially when you consider the facilities the team has there, and are building for the future. Administration area, large store, stadium field, 2(?) grass fields, a full indoor field and a soon to be new training facility.

Yeah, very much this. Additionally, I love ripping on Russ Brandon as much as the next Board Member. However, he did play a good sized role in helping us become more regionalized, which is important for the franchise's fan base and attendance, and even to the league itself. How many talking head gutter snipes over the years took shots at this team, this City and this organization over attendance and ticket prices? A lot. The attendance one being difficult to swallow as other teams were selling out, but giving game day tickets away and having a lower actual attendance then us...like a particular South Florida team whose mascot is an aquatic mammal...or they just plain covered seats for years (go ahead and roar on that one North Florida cats).

No way, on this day, can we leave this out.

For years my back and knee problems (I believe) can be traced to being flat footed. I wear inserts, but still. I have only seen recently that there are some exercises that can help strengthen the support of your arch. This is good stuff.

You are wise. I agree. Additionally, what are we spending on these guys, 11 million total? yeah, I'll lose a pretty good up back on punts to keep an extra qb around.

I actually thought we were were going to win when we were up 13-6 after halftime and driving down the field against the Cowboys. I... I...actually thought we were going to win.

True Paul. However, this is the second year in a row of him being rock solid during the times that he needs to be rock solid to make the team. Does he need a third year before saying he is ready to get on the field?
