  1. That's an insane deal for Tre White. I didn't even think a team would be interested in signing him until about July/August when his injury recovery was a little further along. I thought a 1 year$4-5M would be his market and I was waayyy off. I'm curious to see the guarantees because an Achilles for a CB at his age is a big deal
  2. Perfect buy low by yhe Eagles. Move down 20 spots in the 3rd.....which is about yhe equivalent of a 5th round pick. If he shows anything at all over yhe next 2 years he'll be signed as a FA and the Eagles will recoup a comp. Pick. Good business all around, especially considering hus low salary as other posters have pointed out
  3. Also note that Michael Lombardi on his latest GM shuffle episode said the Bills "wouldn't admit it, bit they'd be interested in moving Diggs". It's his most recent episode and he makes reference to it at the very beginning of the pod. Sometimes Lombardi can be a little bit of a blowhard, but he definitely gets info from sources still. I'm still pretty convinced Diggs will not be on this roster come September. How he's removed is uncertain, but I happen to think his time in Buffalo is over
  4. Javon Kinlaw, DT, 49ers A highly touted draft prospect out of the University of South Carolina, that I'm sure our Carolina connected decision makers know well. He also plays DT a position we need and if he was a stock you'd certainly be buying him on the dip. I believe he's been hurt a lot, but he's got the good. 3 year deal worth "up to" $24M, that's likely more like a 2 year - $15M deal with $12M guaranteed.
  5. I'm mostly with you.....I probably do have him a little too high here. Overall I'm not the biggest fan, and as I stated, his slight frame coupled with not great hands and I don't think he'll be a Bills target
  6. My take changed a little post combine and after listening to some of the film guys I respect most (Greg Cosell). There's a well defined top 3 l, that we all know: 1. Marvin Harrison Jr. 2. Malik Nabers 3. Rome Odunze After that to me there's the next tier, which includes 2 WRs, and I've flipped where I think they'll go: 4. Adonai Mitchell 5. Brian Thomas Jr And I happen to think both will very likely be off the board before #28. I was hopeful Mitchell would eb an option, but after listening to Cosell sing his praises, coupled with his combine performance, I think hes gone. Brian Thomas, I would give a slight chance of being there, but he'll likely be gone too. That brings us to my next tier, and I happen to think theres a bit of a drop-off to this group compared to the 2 WRs listed above: 6. Troy Franklin 7. Ladd Mcconkey 8. Xavier Worthy Everyone knew Worthy was a speed demon and he proved it in the combine. I thought he was a 2nd round type WR due to his slight frame. Maybe he's a laye 1st because the speed is so freaky, but I think he'll be around at #28. He's just a small (super skinny) guy and I'm not sure the Bills will be the team to fall in love with him. The same can be said for Franklin. Super slight build and a higher drop rate percentage is a bit of a concern. I actually think Ladd might be the guy the Bills would like best out of this group, but at #28 it might be a bit rich. One last WR to mention: Jermaine Burton. I know nothing about his off field, obviously, and I've heard some negative rumblings, but as a player.......this guy's got the goods and in the 2nd round I've got that sneaky feeling he might be a Bills target. Will he be there @ 50? Who the hell knows, but I think hes a WR worth getting to know
  7. Legette is not a 1st round prospect. Some smart people who follow these prospects for a living have said as much. He's not a route runner, separator. The Bills need a guy with juice, oily hips and the ability to separate. Legette is not that prospect, IMO
  8. Section 134, Row 44 (Bills vs Steelers) 4 tickets together. These are my season tickets (best seats in the stadium IMHO). Dead center, 50 yard line lower level tickets on the Bills (home) side. Turn around and say hello to Jim Nantz and Tony Romo, who are directly behind you calling the game. Won't be able to make it this week. Selling for less than what the Bills charged me $175/ticket $699 for 4 tickets Like I said these are my season tickets, so I have the ability to send them as mobile tickets
  9. Don't overthink it: Mahomes or Tua I want Mahomes eliminated. He's the best QB in the league. Give me anybody but him
  10. I was going to mention that in my post. The 3 leg parlay (moneyline) Dolphins, Steelers, Jaguars pays +462 I know some sites have the Bills implied playoff odds at 95% or so l, but according to Vegas lines we now know that number is too high. True odds are about 85%.....long way of saying if the Bills don't win, hold on tight
  11. Dude you were on this early and guess what every single one of your week 17 scenarios came true. And none of your week 18 scenarios are far fetched......and we now know the Steelers are 3.5 pt favs in Baltimore, indicating the Ravens are sitting starters. Color me very nervous.....the Bills can't slip up vs Mia
  12. 1) Bills lose @ Dolphins - current line Bills -3 2) Titans lose vs. Jaguars - current line Titans +3.5 3) Ravens lose vs. Steelers - current line Ravens +3.5 So what that last line shows you is the Ravens will be resting starters with the #1 seed locked up. I have little to no faith in the Titans......so I really think the Bills could entirely miss the playoffs if they don't get the W in Miami. Next week could very well be the #2 seed with a win and missing the playoffs entirely with a loss. Crazy!
  13. I'm still trying to figure out what "subculture" is. Anyone care to expand.....
  14. No We might do better We very well k ight do worse, but I'm ready to take the gamble. I'm ready for a change. I don't see McDermott being the coach that can get this team and offense to where we all hope
  15. What would the Bills be willing to give up in trade compensation to acquire Patrick Surtain Jr. Regarded as one of the best young CB's in the league he'd certainly be a huge upgrade after the Tre White injury. He also has 2 cheap years left on his deal. He's due less than 2M for the rest of this year, a little over 3M next year and you still have the 5th year option to control his '25 season. The Bills have the next 4 games (including todays) to get a good look at how Benford, Jackson, Elam and perhaps even Ingram will hold it down at outside CB........but what would you be willing to part with to drop in one of the best young CBs onto this roster? I happen to think it would take a 1st + Elam at a minimum and likely a little more than that. I love the idea, but at that price and given what we've heard about the strength of the '24 draft it's tough.
  16. I watched 1 game of his last year. All be it, it was one of his better games and I immediately put $100 on him to be the 1st overall pick @ 100-1 odds. This was back in October-November. He may be rough around the edges, but his size and athleticism jumped off the screen. For my money he should've been the 1st pick (of course I was a bit biased after placing my bet!)
  17. I'll have a better idea in a couple of weeks on the Giants game. My cousin is a Giants fan so we may go to that game, but it's 50/50 at this point. I'll know for sure in a week or 2
  18. There fees over thr last 20 years have slowly risen from 10% on each side to close to 20-25% on each side. They lobbied congress to make street scalping illegal and then became the worst scalpers of all. Very sneaky. BTW, I have 4 season tickets on the 50 yard line, Bills sideline, row 40. Some of the best seats in the house. My brother and I don't make it to every game so if you're ever looking send me a message. I'll save you some money and you'll save me some money not having to absorb all those stubhub fees.
  19. Tyrod Taylor was a replacement level player. Replacement level players are rarely revered by fan bases.
  20. Oliver won't be signing for anything in Buffalo. You can't pay an undersized DT who's poor against the run and not a natural pass rusher. Listening to Greg Cosell, who puts in the work, refer to Oliver as a poor pass rusher was all I needed to hear. If another team wants to give him $12-16M a year, take the 4th round comp pick, admit you whiffed and move on. Next year the Bills will be looking for a solid DT in FA and perhaps yhe draft too. I'm fine with that.
  21. I'll go with 2 Bearcats: Tyler Scott - WR (Cincy) Arquon Bush - CB (Cincy) The former gives you a dynamic playmaking WR, the latter a CB with ball skills and tools, but likely can be had with a 4th round pick (which is probably in the wheelhouse of when the Bills would draft a CB)
  22. Listening to Beanes presser it's pretty obvious McKenzie will be cut in the next 48 hours. Joe B asked the ? And he didn't out right say it but reading between the lines.....it sounded like he's a goner
  23. Buyer beware with Jerry Jeudy: His NFL career thus far is very reminiscent to Sammy Watkins career arc. Can't stay healthy and has problems coming down with contested catches. I loved Jeudy coming out in the draft, but you can't ignore the disappointing career in the NFL so far. Particularly concerning to me is his lack of tracking the ball and going up and getting it down the field. He lacks looseness and jumping ability thay most high end WRs possess
