Brand J

That may be part of the reason. I got the full answer from his wiki page:

I wonder if there’s any significance to the number 40. He wore 58 all those years in Denver, 40 with the Rams, and is now asking for 40 again in Buffalo. Where are my sleuths?

Neither this nor the Settle deal have been made official. I wonder if one has to do with the other…?

Hughes still has fast wheels, but he doesn’t bend around the edge as easily as he used to.

It was the same here as well 😂 As always, the devil is in the details.

The Flop and the River

By far Beane’s biggest signing in his tenure. Miller relies on speed and even at age 32, soon to be 33 in 10 days, he’s still plenty fast coming off the edge. We needed a threat badly and we got it. Can’t really complain.

That’s the sort of contract that I feel Edmunds is worth. I saw PFF had Jack above a 60 grade in 3 of his 5 years with a high of 74 while Edmunds has only been at 60 once, which is also the highest he’s ever been graded.

We have and still continue to overpay for “good.”

If you told me the next 10 years would be predetermined in one of two ways and there was nothing the organization could do to change it, I would choose to win a championship followed by another 9 years in the basement. They could never take that excitement and joy away for finally getting over that hill. If the alternative was 10 winning seasons, each year in the playoffs but never a Super Bowl win, the team would be much more fun to watch, but probably even more frustrating. Give me the championship. We went 17 years without the playoffs with nothing to show for it.

To be honest I haven’t assessed his play so I couldn’t tell you if he’s worth that much. Projections had him at about $15M/yr, but he is an older player. If he’s still a force off the edge then age doesn’t matter so much.

All those who keep referencing the 5 sacks Jones had the majority of the season, was it due to ineffectiveness? Was he getting double teamed after that 5 sack output? Was he getting close but not finishing the job? There’s always context for the 5 sacks. I think Hughes had like 2 all year despite being tabbed our best pass rushing DE.

Jets, Colts, and 49ers were in contention? Three teams without a solid starting QB? It was absolutely about the money. Now go and get Akiem Hicks and make this team impossible to run on. We may not get pressure with the front 4, but at least Milano, Taron, and Poyer are decent blitzers.

I knew with certain albatross contracts on the payroll they’d have a difficult time landing Jones. Disappointing but not unexpected.

Im not going to call him “dumb” for changing his mind like some others here, but it’s clear he doesn’t prioritize winning over all else. And that’s his decision. Some guys are content with cashing a million dollar paycheck, going to work, then calling it a day.

This used to be the case but the rule was changed quite some time ago. Linky I don’t think this is true. There are gems in every round, I made an “all hindsight draft” earlier to show a draft where all 7 picks would’ve been big time contributors (given how they played with the team that drafted them). It’s always more important who is selected rather than where. Of course it becomes increasingly more difficult with each passing round to find that gem.

That’s why I’d like the Bills to pursue a trade rather than an extension. Something tells me the Edmunds camp has a dollar amount much higher than what the Bills value him and that’s why we haven’t seen an extension yet.

The E-P-S-N gives it away as a fake, as does the 50 followers the account has.

Miller still has that bend and speed off the edge, but did you see that tweet from a guy comparing their last two years? Chandler was comfortably ahead of Miller in every category which surprised me.

I gathered that Denver was our main competition but they signed Gregory, so where does that leaves the Bills? Besides starving for cash. Watch a team come out of the blue and swoop him up, similar to how the Cardinals did last year with Watt (there was no prior talk of AZ).

What does OJ have to do with your accusations of Watson? You said confidently he assaulted women and all I asked was to share the knowledge you have since it sounds like you’re very much in the know. What I can tell you is that I’m not 100% sure either way if Watson is innocent or guilty, so I’m not going to speak like I know what I’m talking about.

If there’s one thing the Bills have shown it’s to be overly cautious regarding guys coming off injuries, so I expect to see him in October at the earliest.

It is indeed. But were you there to witness these assaults? Sounds like you know exactly what happened with Watson and those women and I’d like to learn what you know…
