Article must have been written a few days go as not mention of the Bills signing Harris. Will agree Athletic does have very good well written content. Admittedly sometimes a little longer than I'd like, though does seem like the articles have got shorter than they use to be.

Well they do play at the Chargers so a 4:25 eastern time start likely would be before sunset in LA. That game too would be a good national doubleheader choice as opposed to a 4:05 start regional game. Actually kind of disappointed that a guy wit ha user name of SoCal wouldn't have thought of that on his own!

Agree if he really does still need rehab. Wasn't he hurt though back in September?? If so would think he'd be ready to go this year. Think a better likelihood would be they just cut him end of August and he makes it through to PS. Agree in that not likely much of a market for him. But there are the Giants, or Bills East I guess they should be called now.

Unless he were to actually be hurt, doubt you can do that, not that it's not done. But also would be surprised if Doyle would go along with it as I'd think at this point, he'd want a chance to actually play, not another year sitting out. Having two rookies backups is a bit risky if any of the 7 above him were to get hurt. It's one thing if rookie were a 1st rounder or even lower level pick but is starting and getting time with other starters. But to have get by with a mid round rookie starting due to injury is risky on a SB contending team. I see the Bills in a bit of a Catch 22 with the OL. They need to bring in and develop rookies for long term, but could downgrade the line short term.

You also have Doyle, so that leaves 12 OL and means you'll be cutting three of them, plus any other lower rated players they may have as typically teams go wit h9 on the 53 man roster. To me that's not a good use of money as likely cutting players you just gave a signing bonus too. Granted not high bonuses, but when tight against the cap to start with, every $$ counts.

So who are you cutting? They now have inside Morse, Bates, McGovern, Ike B, & Edwards. Quez even played some guard last season. That's 5, normally all a team carries and have 3 guys who can play center. Unless it's a sixth or seventh round draft pick can get away with cutting him and moving him to PS, anything higher, they risk another team grabbing him. To me it doesn't make much sense to draft or sign guys in the spring, play them signing bonus to then turn around and cut. I know they did it last year with Howard, but not good use of money.

These are the same people who wanted to get rid of Bass after about 4 games too! And every August state how if the Bills don't keep so and so on the roster, most often an undrafted rookie, he'll be grabbed up by another team only to see no interest in player.

Thought it was funny about 2 weeks ago hearing Rodgers ripping the Packers for not being up front with their plans to move on. This is the same guy two seasons ago, Green bay had no idea what he was planning to do, play retire, no one knew. Hey Arron, as they say, what goes around comes around!

Well that's true, but very likely they are going to lay down the fiber lines with or without ST. I wonder too how much fiber are they laying down compared to Verizon and ATT? Are they really a big player? I'd have been more than happy with the streaming online version, then no box or hardware needed. I'd have paid them $300 for that. When I stated I couldn't find an address to work to get the service I was also referring to the streaming version then too.

Yes but You Tube didn't have to pay to lay the fiber down your street, or maintain. Or send someone out to your house to fix and issue or first time start up. While it can take some time and pressing about ten different prompts, you can talk with someone at the cable company or even DTV. If anything the internet providers will keep raising the prices and they have more of a monopoly on you. Whereas there are so many streaming service to choose from will help keep prices in check Has anyone ever spoken to someone at You Tube? And frankly very little of anything to talk with them about. So yes, You Tube TV will go up in price in fact they just did, but won't need to raise prices as much as cable does.

Agree, the cost for the boxes and all these extra fees was what made it crazy high.. Plus DTV would always jack the prices way up once the initial discounts expired. It was crazy. I recall when I finally dumped DTV, my discounts had expired and the price was going to like double. I called them up and they maybe offered me like $10 off total. So dumped them, 2 weeks later they offered me a price much cheaper than what I was even asking them to give me. But then was too late, had already went elsewhere. They will still get maybe $300 from each person for ST. There still are many with cable, other streaming services, etc that don't want to give up what they already have. If they required you to also have You Tube TV or make it too pricey, these people may not bother subscribing to ST. Instead they'll do what many folks do and use the illegal downloads. Can't recall how many times I'd see someone post here, they'd gladly pay for ST if it didn't require them to also subscribe to DTV for another $1500 a year or so and this was when Cable still cost around $75 a month. If you Tube can just convert even half the illegal streamers to their product, they'll be well ahead. And don't anyone post that you could get ST without DTV if you had an eligible address. I tried many addresses, even used my mothers address from when she was in a nursing home and that came back as ineligible.

Boy I hope not. What else will we have to complain about then?

I wonder if there is any type of lag on announcements on Sundays?? Is there an NFL office acknowledgement required first before teams woulds announce and they aren't working Sunday??

OK, Monday is the first day of spring. I'll be waiting for an email!! Is the delay actually You Tube or just due to internet streaming lag within each users one home? Wonder if this will be like when HD TV first came out. Think it was on DTV, was an extra monthly $10 cost, but eventually once it became mainstream, the extra fee was dropped. The biggest reason I have You Tube over any type of cable package is I own two houses, so allows me to pay for one service and use it in two locations.

More insight into Miller's time at the combine. For those questioning the motives it was originally suggested by Beane he come to the combine. Article also touches on him doing this and issues with tampering, though think it would more be a case of anyone from other teams talking to Miller would be the teams in trouble, not the Bills. https://buffalonews.com/sports/bills/von-miller-brandon-beane-general-manager/article_48c931bc-c4dd-11ed-a6fe-83ca5e31b5f5.html?utm_source=buffalonews.com&utm_campaign=%2Fnewsletter-templates%2Flocal%2Fbills&utm_medium=PostUp&lctg=4092700&tn_email_eh1=f2f6da65fd0a372cbbfa3da63dae5ef3bd72e8f6

You won't get a good return on any trade with him, but wouldn't say no one would be interested. A team with a lot of money to spare may take a gamble on him. Yes he's a FA next season, but whomever he plays for in 2023 does have the inside track on signing him to a new contact as a last resort could tag him. Also that team can sign him prior to next March. Will he get traded not likely, but if the Bills were desperate to offload the salary, I'm sure they could find a taker at a low return on value.

Likely the only teams that would be interested in Oliver would be a team in a rebuild mode and has the money to take a chance on him. If he has a good year he could be the centerpiece of the D line and sign him to a new contract. If he doesn't work out and plays better, they let him go. BUT likely going to get a poor return for him as teams are taking on over paid contract. Or maybe a contending team that has a big hole at DT. Could have a better chance on getting a better return by waiting till August and maybe a contender loses their DT for season to injury. Kind of like how we signed Star 5 years ago. He was a FA so didn't give up anything, but took a chance on him being the seasoned vet to build around. It didn't work out too well as good mediocre return, though do think he provided more value than stat sheet showed.

So does this mean he signed the tender or the team worked out a more long term deal?

And why would you when you also have a top 5 QB. Tenn and Indy run a lot because they can't pass well. Even the Giants this past year which helped make Jones look better at QB. We're the opposite, our QB can make a RB look better.

Yes it was a joke, but I suppose in todays day and age, it very likely could be true. On a serious question, does Poyer have to wait until 4:00 today to sign with Bills or since he was with team last season, can he sign prior? Or is this also just another "legal tampering" deal?

I drive a Subaru, why you insulting me like this!

There's a go fund me page being started for this!

You don't think he would sign say a 3 year year maybe around a $10 mil contract, this year $1 mil salary and $3 mil bonus, 2024 $2.5 mil, 2025 $3.5 mil, $5 mil total guaranteed? Bills would still have easy out in 2025 for $1mil

Tender is only for year, can they turn around and now offer him a 2 or 3 year deal at lower number for 2023? Or are you not allowed to do that with tendered players?

don't worry, they'll resign him. They are just waiting for the right time.
