  1. Elam seems to be laying the blame for his struggles on the bills staff. https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports/football/nfl/bills/2025/03/18/kaiir-elam-didnt-shine-buffalo-bills-trade-to-dallas-cowboys/82515510007/ Despite all the frustration cornerback Kaiir Elam experienced during his deeply disappointing three-year association with the Buffalo Bills, the 2022 first-round pick almost always stayed out of the noisy discourse that surrounded him. But Monday when he met with the media in Dallas following his trade from the Bills to the Cowboys, Elam released some pent up aggravation. “Coming to Buffalo, I was a kid that just wanted to improve and learn and really show off my talents, but I was always put in the back seat,” Elam said. Elam’s style of play never fit Sean McDermott’s system and the coaching staff was never able to get him to adapt, and there were rumors that former defensive backs coach John Butler never really had faith in Elam. “I continued to put my head down and work, continued to make plays throughout the season and in the playoffs and stuff like that,” Elam said. “I just took everything I learned from there and all the baggage and improvements I felt like I needed to make and just packaged it up and worked on it every day. I don’t really see it as a negative. I really just see it as a growing opportunity for me to go shine somewhere else.”
  2. Hey preaching to the choir. They backed themselves into a corner…no pun intended with the free agency moves. corner, d line and wr. I imagine they take flyers on lineman later too, like the kid from ucla.
  3. The athletic put out a new big board this morning and they have Hairston at 38. they have. Ezeiruarku at 30 fwiw
  4. You said I was mad about the Yankees, upset and had anxiety? Whatever that means. Completely false never said anything of the sort. you said I said it was Devastating for the team, I never said anything of the sort. i explained my position on why it’s bad and how the players will have to hear about it all summer. Your response was that I took drama classes and was an extreme journalist. you seem pretty unstable so I am done with this. Go bother someone else.
  5. Yea. You are all over the place. Just making things up. think whatever you want.
  6. The chiefs are usually pretty proactive with their defense. They signed a corner to an affordable two year deal in Kristian Fulton that would have worked well here. He has an injury history but everyone that beane signed this year seems to have one so that should not have mattered. i remember you getting all pissy with me and insisted the bills would beat the ravens by 40 so I mean predictions come and go.
  7. Embarrassing week imo because of some of the signings and then this happening. I don’t like some of the signings for various reasons and I will leave it at that. all bills players will have to answer for this nonsense with these two. That’s how it goes. It will be a main topic of discussion all summer, how do they handle it and why did they agree to these players knowing this. the players are going to hear about it constantly and none of them have anything to do with it and have never even played with these guys. an avoidable situation that will be a distraction has now been put into the mix. if you don’t get it, fine.
  8. The opportunity to draft 3 or 4 corners who are good enough to step right in and play is basically slim and none. if someone takes Barron before 30 they might be in the situation where they have to take one of the corners who have fallen because of injury! If they were to take revel he might not even be ready to play in training camp and could end up on pup all summer. they blew it by not signing a starting caliber corner, even if they had to overpay it was a must. They didn’t do it and now they will be chasing the position. i have no idea why they are playing with fire like this. Taking a 1 tech dt at 30 and missing out on the corners would be a travesty. I don’t even know what you are talking about. You are just putting words that were not even used. if you don’t like what I post don’t read it.
  9. The team has a flashing danger ahead sign going off in regards to corner on this team. d line is going to take a backseat now to the desperate need for a corner with pick 30. And actually I think they are going to move back a little and look to recoup that 3 with a high 4 because the player pool is going to be very similar between 30 and say 40 ish. they basically have to take a corner first. They are one bad training camp injury to benford from rolling into the season with Ingram and Jackson as starters. they have been knocked out by the chiefs two years in a row in large part because benford and rapp were out. As of right now they did nothing to remedy that. this is why I said this week was miserable to me, the extensions were great and signing Hamlin was really important imo, but not signing a starting caliber corner was a big mistake imo and now they are left chasing the position. Then throw in two players they were going to rely on up front being out six games. It’s a bad situation.
  10. Smoot is not even on the team and there is almost no way they cut AJ.
  11. What? I’m not mad about the Yankees at all. I said I just finished watching the game and logged off mlb.com and logged in here. how that is being turned into yank anxiety…whatever that is I have no idea. Please spare me what I can and can’t say about the team.
  12. I’m not upset about the Yankees at all. No idea where you are getting that from. they will be fine without Soto. Bellinger has looked really good this spring. As I said the Yankees are going to be fine. Will Warren has a chance to be a good 4th or 5th pitcher. they will trade for a starter in July.
  13. Nope. They go with judge just as the bills go with Allen. When judge goes out they struggle. Losing Cole sucks though. they are going to be ok.
  14. Like the old saying goes, you can explain how you broke the lamp to your parents and justify it but the lamp is still broke.
  15. If only these guys had grown up watching 21 jumpstreet like I did. They would know steroids/ped’s/supplements are bad for you. it really sucks that two players did this while playing for two other teams and now the bills are being punished. The rams and Steelers benefitted from these players doing this and now the bills get the punishment.
  16. Yankee game ends, I log out of that and into this site to see the news of the day. i am not looking for arguments or anything but this has been imo a miserable week. this is really embarrassing, nothing like tainting the image of your entire franchise with two dopes who have never even taken a snap for you yet. and that will be all from me today so I don’t get in trouble.
  17. IF NY can get decent qb play I think they will be better than Dallas. They actually have a lot of talent. The cowboys besides lamb, parsons and tyler smith have a pretty average to below average roster. IF the giants were to end up with cam ward I wouldn't be surprised to see them finish above Dallas.
  18. Witherspoon seems like a good vet 1 year signing. He shouldn't be expensive, he will understand playing off the bench and hey he played in LA. 93. Ahkello Witherspoon, CB, Rams (30) Witherspoon rejoined the Rams in the late summer after injuries decimated the position and then eventually worked back into a starting role when Tre’Davious White was traded to Baltimore. Especially across the second half of the season, Witherspoon thrived alongside fellow veteran Darious Williams, with seven pass breakups and an interception plus a forced fumble and a sack in the Rams’ final six games (including playoffs). Witherspoon will turn 30 this spring but has not seemed to feel his age just yet.
  19. 27m ago Dianna Russini· Senior Writer, NFL Latest on Trey Hendrickson Teams are willing to pay Trey Hendrickson the contract that he desires but have found Cincinnati’s current asking price to be “ridiculous,” as one GM told me. The Bengals can adjust as the offseason progresses, but right now, teams aren’t willing to meet their terms.
  20. that makes sense. He is this years Mike Edwards. Edwards had a 1 year deal with 1.6m guaranteed
  21. They were pretty damn good in beating baltimore in the playoff game.
  22. Seems like a straight role player and special teamer. He is yet another guy that has been signed that has an injury history. It seems washington was going to cut him out of camp last year but because he had a hamstring injury he hung on.
  23. he really doesn't seem like a run stopper at all to me. At this point he seems like a rotational backup 3 tech and a guy they can kick out at times to 5 tech on the end when they want to be in bigger run sets. The steelers cut him because they believed he cost too much with a 4 million dollar bonus coming. They saved 7 million cutting him and then he got a raise here to be a part of a D line rotation. I don't think his signing effect them on draft day. I imagine most of the tackles in the first four rounds are equal or better players.
  24. I am sure it has been said in this thread already but I take this signing as the replacement to Smoot. Like Smoot he can play inside and outside. He will play some 5 tech I imagine at end like smoot did. He seems best suited to an attacking 3 tech spot though. They now have 3 guys to play that spot. They must want a full rotation of guys who can play this penetrating style or Carter is going to move over and play some 1 tech. Always good to be deep on the defensive line. Tackle has a chance to be a really good group by the time the draft is over.
