Very fitting this headline in todays Athletic

Yeah Cook really needs another big year under his belt to prove he's really worth the $15 Mil he's asking for. Someone like a Barkley put big numbers up in his first year and was a very big name coming out of the draft. Cook doesn't yet have that and hasn't shown to be a 3 down player yet so he has too much to prove to sit out this year IMO. Maybe he doesn't show up to the voluntary sessions but if he does hold out and risks not having a big year he'll never get the money he's asking for.

Considering there are teams argue the Cowboys and Lions shouldn't have all the Thanksgiving home games and the league should rotate it, but the league doesn't want to abandon these two cities as years ago, no one wanted to host these games, but they both agreed to it. Can't imagine they'd want to start the same thing now with another city and years from now feel indebted to them.

OK we all agree on the answer, they will use the fieldhouse. My question came since the OP started the statement with: "Will the Bills practice at the new stadium" and you answered yes so I questioned that. So agree the correct answer should have been no/yes since he asked 2 opposite questions

You sure about #3?? I'd assume they'll still use the field house the majority of the time? Don't they have an adjacent grass field to the fieldhouse that they could use? Or maybe they install some type of new "turf" in the fieldhouse that more resembles grass?

If Grant is still available in mid 20's could see Beane moving up for him. From what I've read, he's the one DT who is actually a 3 down player. Others are either good against the run or good against the pass, but not both. I've seen different mocks having him gone anywhere from around 12 to being there at 30

Didn't Harbaugh's father also coach there or am I thinking of someone else's father??

Kind of strange to be hired this time of year on an interim basis?? https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6244323/2025/03/31/stanford-hiring-frank-reich-coach/

Cook is kind of in a position where he still needs to prove himself capable of being a 3 down back if he expects the big bucks. For that reason I think if he holds out would hurt him for his next contract. But is he smart enough to figure that out?

Yeah as long as you meet in a private setting. I'm guessing here it was someplace in the open, maybe at the breakfast buffet. Likely started over who got the last piece of bacon, but evolved from there.

will she be playing in the KC Open?

And yet the 2024 offense scored more points which what's actually needed to win games. Again in FF the yards gives you points, but not in the NFL so being more balanced helps.

How much did they run in 2020 and 2021, in 2020, was 80 less times and they are now averaging 30 yards more per game than back then and I'll bet if you looked at individuals, you'd find that if you take out the Allen rushing plays the difference may be between 40 to 50 yards per game. So yes if you want to go back to just throwing the ball practically all the time, then Allen's stats would go up, but that is what would be nuts here to compare. It's a team sport, yes Allen is their best player, but running the ball more makes the TEAM better. Again we're not playing FF here!

Agree, that's why they need to put their money and draft picks in improving the pass rush. 1000 more yards. LOL You could put JaMarr Chase on this offense and he likely would get 1000+ yards, but what will likely mean overall is the yest of the offense will end up with maybe 600 to 800 total yards less. In Fantasy, adding Chase adds 1000 yards, but sorry not here!

Absolutely and that's why I don't think there's nearly as much of a need for a "true #1 WR" when you have an Allen or a Mahomes at QB, you can make lesser players around you look great. Would Chase and Higgins really be as good if their QB were Daniel Jones? Didn't the Bills get a #1 pick for Peerless Price from Falcons after he played with Bledsoe for a season or two, then didn't do much of anything in Atlanta.

And that was the opinion last year and they score was it the 2nd most points in the league and Allen was in the top 10 in every category. Somebody caught all those passes he threw.

Disagree, think you need to look at the those teams and see how many of those players drafted are still on the team. I'd imagine not too many so regardless of the QB situation, shows these teams just wasted their draft capital. Would also argue you don't need to spend a huge amount of draft capital on WR's when you have a great QB. Shakir was what a 5th round pick. Do you think he'd have looked half as good if he were on the Giants? Lets see how Hollins does this coming year. The Bills also drafted 2 TE's in Knox and Kincaid which should be factored in. And did the trade for Diggs count or not, or did Sharp only count players actually drafted??

At least it would be easier to talk about if we had 3 2nd rounders and 2 3rd rounders

That was Newtons problem, he didn't have the arm strength and once the big edge with his legs was done, he was done too.

Haven't seen anything posted lately prior to the Milano pay cut, any idea how much the bills are currently under the cap by?

Milano was 5th round pick I believe, could you get a comp pick for someone drafted that low?

Watch he'll play lights out and cost more to resign him now if they wanted

Think the guy they signed Thursday could be the return man or maybe they both make it if Codrington shows he can provide some abilities as a CB and same with the other guy at the WR position. Do think Davidson is on the team unless they still resign Morris. And o think there will be trades of picks as agree not that many roster spots available for rookies. Do think one more vet CB will be signed Yes agree, but too many posters here expect that to happen their rookie year and if not that player is be a bust.

And yet as pointed out above, we had the #2 offense. The Bills are fine at WR and TE, probably will add a rookie with a mid round pick.

My guess is it becomes a credit for the 2026 cap. A player could get suspended in November so can't factor it in this year. At end of year bonuses that weren't initially added into 2025 cap get added into 2026, this likely will count as a reduction against the total. And yes doesn't get paid when suspended.
