Well 20+ of the seemed to feel a certain way about it.
My issue with that, is if Watson raped or assaulted the women, why didn’t a single one go to a police station shortly after the incident to report it? Why did all 20+ wait until this lawsuit to step forward? I know rape is a subject most women shy away from reporting, but ALL of them?

My guess - and it’s only that, a guess - is that Deshaun used Instagram to find attractive masseuses, booked appts, then used his money/fame to prey on the girls for sexual acts. Did he rape or sexually assault any of these women? Or were they complicit and paid well for their time? None of us know exactly what happened. My read into the situation could be completely off as well.

As we have discussed before, I’ll provide the additional context here for those who aren’t familiar with what really happened in terms of that quote.
Correct…Star never said that. A reporter said that years ago to convey the strength of Stars love and motivation for his family.
People twisted this to be something it’s not. Same article praises his work ethic and his dedication to helping and fighting for his teammates.
It’s a total farce that Star didn’t love football based on people inaccurately attributing a journalists comment to Star. Just like it was a total farce he never played here like people say when he didn’t miss a single game until week 1 this year, the only game he ever missed with us due to injury. He had COVID complications that led to a few more games missed this season.
It was an intimate article if I remember correctly. Something that in-depth and thought out, can we say with absolutely certainty Star didn’t convey those feelings to the journalist? Usually if a statement like that is made it’s because Star himself told the journalist that, or conveyed as much. Otherwise it’d be a striking opinionated line in what is otherwise an in-depth, factually based, editorial piece.

There was a bookie who put $5,000 on the Bills earlier this year long before any of these signings. Many ridiculed him for going in so early since FA and the draft had yet to be determined, but it’s looking like a good bet.

How are we 5 pages deep into an Edmunds thread and yet his biggest supporter has yet to show his/her face to tell you all how wrong you are? I’m expecting more Deion Sanders comparisons and disappointed I haven’t seen any. Maybe I’ll put out the “‘Maine Signal” so that poster can crawl out of his cave…

How do you explain our worst game defensively being without Edmunds? Look, I can’t argue against the fact he doesn’t make plays. I also don’t see a lot of plays being made against Edmunds. So it goes both ways.
We all believe a Mike backer is supposed to be around the ball every play and that definitely isn’t Edmunds. I don’t know what they’re asking of Edmunds. I would love to hear McDermott explain what they expect from Edmunds.
To me it seems like he’s a MLB version of a 2 gap NT. What’s I meant by that is they use his size and length to clog passing lanes. That seems to be his job.
I’ve seen too many.

I suspect since the rest of his teammates around him have been upgraded, his mistakes will be less apparent, thereby making him appear to be a better LB than what he probably is. To earn anything north of $10M/yr I think he needs to be become a playmaker and actually make those game changing plays that are available to him. Always seems like he’s a step slow.

Thats one contract the Bills wish they could do over.

We didn’t just give Von that contract for him to play LB. Whatever designated position he’s be given, DE or LB, he’ll be rushing the passer the vast majority of the time.

And the paid for RFA trips for Bates Continues.
Bills likely will match anything up to the 2nd round tender. So anything that is 1.5M or lower added to his current salary will get matched.
I heard it was the lowest tender, not the one that provided 2nd round compensation if he left. A difference of $1.5M.

As good as Diggs is, there’s no way I’m paying him or any other receiver Davante Adams money. It’s not a premium position, you can split that money into two very good receivers and get more bang for your buck.

Watched Dane play a lot, living in Pittsburgh. He won't disappoint. I think Hamlin was a steal too, he will be ready to step up down the road too.
We need to add a 🙏 emoji for statements like these. I hope/pray that’s the case!

I feel more confident in Ryan Bates and his limited sample size than I do in Dane Jackson.

I just said what I think. I'm getting a lot of flack for it and I'm only replying to you but also for anyone else. Here it goes.
This board is all over the place from cutting him to having him play out the rest of his contract.
For years I defended Star (and got the business from a lot of posters), then after he took off in 2020, I was neutral on his future.
After last year I thought he should be done with and end his career in Buffalo. Situations changed and my thoughts changed with them.
If OBD is of the opinion that they are done with him then I see no reason to keep him on the roster. Use the $1.5M to help sign the
rookies and get the rest in June. Also, I said if OBD wants to keep him through the summer I can live with that. My final replies were
to the effect that if he does go to camp, he shouldn't get special treatment. He would have to put in the effort just like anyone else
of get moved down to the 3rd string. I do believe keeping him as a rotational DT for what will in essence be $12M is my least
favorite choice.
That's about all I got to say. I probably should've kept my thoughts to myself.
Speak your mind, my friend! This is a message board, 75% of the content is opinion.

I seriously doubt a trade could happen. My thinking is why keep him around eating reps in camp that another player could get
the experience from.
For all those who say he is worth the money this year I look at is this way.
He has a $9.23M hit this year. If he plays out the year the Bills owe him $2.6M next year in signing bonus.
That's in essence about $12M in cost for his part time play this year.
Sometimes you buy stock in a company that turned bad. Just cut your losses.
Those numbers are absolutely criminal. Easily Beane’s worst signing, but he just landed us Von B'Vsean Miller Jr. so I’ll forgive this one. Hopefully the contract taught him something.

I would LOVE to be able to grab Nakobe Dean in the 1st, but I dont think we do even if he is there.
We seem to have our eye on that Penn St LB Brandon Smith.

1) He may not want to retire and 2) even if he does, money will still count against the Bills. They don’t get out scott-free, I know that.
Oh and 3) I don’t think he’s a guy interested in cutting Beane any favors.

Who wears #58 on the Bills?
Who wears #40 on the Bills? 🦗
Investigation over, complete
That may be part of the reason. I got the full answer from his wiki page:
QuoteHe wore No. 58 in honor of Pro Football Hall of Fame linebacker Derrick Thomas.
Miller chose to wear number 40 for the Rams, his number at Texas A&M, with the familial blessing of Rams legend Elroy Hirsch since his number 58 was taken by Justin Hollins.

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…?

If you say so. I grew accustomed to him creating huge running lanes for QBs to run through after over-pursuit of them, and grew tired of that. I'm almost certain that the over-pursuing of QBs added to those pressures in spite of the negative results.
Hughes still has fast wheels, but he doesn’t bend around the edge as easily as he used to.

Amazing how so many 'fans' don't understand NFL contract structure ("Six years! For a 33-year old!") Same with the Pat's board.
I mean, do they just get drunk, watch the games and then stick their head in the sand for the next six days?
It was the same here as well 😂 As always, the devil is in the details.
