Signing for more than Alec Anderson.

In before the lock…

Yep! And holy schnikes 40 million in space is huge!

Saw that coming, but had hope it wouldn’t have. Scumbag move by the Ravens.

You don’t think back through channeling players agents and even the media wouldn’t somehow be alerted to Beane reopening talks with the Raiders? What we see reported is a very small representation of what truly goes on behind the scenes.

If Hendrickson is seriously considering signing with the Bills, any deviation on our part could be a problem. Why would he want to wait for us to look at Crosby? He won’t. If we decide to look at trading for Crosby again, no way we can do our due diligence and fit the timeline Hendrickson is reported to be on with making a decision today. Why would Hendrickson want to be our 2nd choice at this late hour?

The fallout of the Ravens backing out an implications it has on decisions made are incredible. Teams were aware of his surgery and recovery timeline. Not sure how the ravens can use a failed physical as an excuse unless he is not healing or more damage was found…which I doubt either is true. Beane has to be careful how he handles this. If he is in deep talks with Hendrickson, he needs to just continue with that. If his camp finds out that Beane is trying to reopen Crosby trade talks he’ll just walk. If we have the ability to sign Hendrickson at this point, I’m totally fine with that over spending any draft capital on Crosby. Not sure what the ravens think will happen now. Do they believe that they are going to be able to sign their guys that signed with other teams? It simply can’t be how it works. The ravens enter the trade, knowing there was damage goods and set aside money to pay him. Whether or not he passes the physical, can’t reverse free agent deals of players that already left.

How can they back out? Concerning it is medical.

Yeah, core special teams are the lessor paid players (outside of returners). Bottom of the roster guys who hang on based on ability to play teams. I see Andreessen making the team and contributing at his position. This defense is more what he’s played in the past.

Doesn’t seem to me to be a connected guy so I’m not putting much into this scoop. For whatever reason, the dude annoys me. Listened to a podcast with him the other day. He spent more time picking on Jenna Cottrell than providing useful debate. Not a fan of him.

Special teams may be the biggest loss with Gilliam. I’m sure they will pick up some players this offseason that will offset the loss. One thing that Bills fans will need to get past is losing McD core or “system” guys. We have a bunch of guys that just kept popping up on the roster because they fit the mold of what McD loved as a player. Fans need to shift their thinking to guys Brady and Leonard like. Since Leonard will be the defensive coach without much input from Brady, I’m sure he has his system guys he’s looking to bring to the team.

I get he was a fan favorite. Are you heated because he left? Or because the Patriots got him? Not worried about making up for his production. I’m sure they have some guys on the radar who will pick up his special teams play. And I’ll be honest I can see Jackson Hawes playing fullback and being an absolute bruising blocker.

Will wait and see what the real dollars are in that contract. Usually look astounding until the we read the fine print. Guarantees are a lot though.

Awesome!

Wasn’t outraged. Just bummed we have that much invested in a bunch of guys who haven’t produced like we wanted.
