The Bills are not located in another state, so there is that.
So if this goes through then , I suppose your in favor of the Hammond Bears? NW Indiana Bears? Or the Chicago Bears of Indiana ? -
Well the Bills analytically have been to the SB about 5 times so far so I’ll wait and see this time

Asking because I'm too lazy to look it up. Has any international player roster designee ever played in a NFL game on any team? If so has anyone of significance made it to the league via this route?
Jordan Mailaita the Eagles LT but he’s the only one I can think of that has been really good.
We had the DE here a bit back who was serviceable that we got from the Panthers. Can’t recall his name rn.
He’s out of free PS eligibility correct? So he’d have to take up one of our s risk spots on PS this year I believe

I mean there are a lot of teams like that but it doesn’t mean that’s it’s not their actual name.
My New York Knickerbockers are playing tonight

The thing people have to realize now is that Jackson is going back to doing what he did in college at the 4I. He won’t have to bend as much and be coming off the edge. He’s pretty much now being asked to be a garbage man. Take on blockers and be stout at the point of attack.
He’s going to be active this year and he’ll be on the rotation but don’t expect his stats to pop as he’ll be freeing up others to make plays

I’m not a Sabres fan but I’m rooting for them but everyone including me has to be expecting another epic Buffalo heartbreak at this point

This is going to happen more with NIL if players are Saavy about saving money. Obviously what they get in college isn’t enough to live the rest of their lives but it does give them a head start on not having to bash heads with other NFL guys into their mid 30s.
Moss probably made decent money at A&M , realized he didn’t want to do it anymore. Hopefully he has a nice nest egg to figure out what he wants to do next in life

They need to go back to Lyon, UPL looks like he’s mentally not there. He doesn’t look settled and is uncontrollably moving just to move.

It's day 1-2 that are really the issue in terms of finding blue-chip talent. We seem to find good-very good (but not "elite") starters routinely on day 3.
perhaps we could make a huge package to go up from 32 in Rd. 1 to grab a WR
But in 2027, we may have day 1 openings at OG and S.
Don’t think you’ll have to make a huge jump for a top flight WR next year even at 32.
Obviously Jeremiah Smith and Cam Coleman will most likely hog the spotlight but there are a bunch of other guys next year who can turn into an NFL # 1 WR.
Other guys who I think have a strong chance to go round 1 are:
Ryan Williams Alabama (not a huge fan but has a year to change my mind)
Nick Marsh Indiana. 6’3 215. Stats won’t jump off the screen but he was at Mich State the last two years and now is at Indiana where he’ll have Josh Hoover throwing him the ball and Charlie Becker opposite him
Charlie Becker Indiana 6’4 210- # 3 WR last year but with Sarratt and Cooper gone will be thrust into a huge role this year
TJ Moore Clemson 6’3 200- Has all the tools to be a breakout WR this year if Clemson can get consistent QB and OC play calling.
Bryant Wesco Clemson 6’2 185- See above about Clemson
Ryan Wingo Texas 6’2 215- had 850 yards last season and hopefully will have a more consistent Arch this year
Mike Matthews Tennessee 6’1 200- Dock two rounds for being a TN WR haha
Braylon Staley Tennessee 6’1 190 - See above
Then you just have some big athletic freaks
Nyck Harbor South Carolina 6’5 235
Ian Strong Cal 6’3 210
KJ Duff Rutgers 6’6 225
Duce Robinson Florida State 6’6 222
Nic Anderson LSU 6’4 210
Reed Harris Arizona State 6’5 217
Isaiah Horton Texas A&M 6’4 210
Now I’m not saying that all of these guys in the first group are going to be first round but this list shows you how many body type freaks there will be in next years draft at WR. Some of these guys will go back to school and this list doesn’t even include the normal sized explosive WRs in next years draft like Mario Craver.
I just wanted to highlight the potential huge WRs in next years draft that will be found throughout in all rounds

Do we know that he’s bombing interviews? Or was he just not the final selection? There’s a difference.
There are so few GM openings every year comparatively to HC openings. If you actually look at his resume when he interviewed for the Titans job , his resume was one of the weaker ones out of the candidates.
I hope he does get the job as having an extra 3rd in next years draft would be sweet . In every scouting video him and Gray seem attached at the hip

Is this rage bait
Nope I became a Penguins fan in 1992 when I was 7. Everyone was playing a Defensive trap style of hockey at the time which lead to a lot of low scoring hockey.
I was drawn to the Penguins because they played an open ice style and had top line goal scorers in Mario, Jagr etc.
It’s really the same reason I became an FSU football fan. FSU around that time was one of the few programs that was running a spread no huddle system in college football with exciting players like Charlie Ward. It was more exciting for a kid than watching a team run the wishbone

I must say, some of these, like Nashville, look great and I’d love to see that, but Pittsburgh looked miserable to me. Just a giant mass of people crammed into not enough space on some downtown streets or parking lots. I’d need something more than standing there waiting to hear some strangers name called out.
I’d rather be in the war room than go to another Super Bowl, but I’d also prefer sitting at a bar watching the draft on TV than stand in the mosh pit for hours on end. Heck, I’d rather go to the movies than stand in that crowd.
I agree I’ve said many times if it was still the old music hall I’d go and sit there all 3 days. If I were to go I’d have to pay VIP because you’re not catching me a half mile away from the stage with a 15 dollar hot dog standing. I’d probably fork over the big bucks to be VIP in Buffalo though -

It's not about the owner or the team. It's about hotel rooms and infrastructure. Two of the largest corporations in the world are headquartered in Cincinnati (P&G and Kroger). There is also Cintas and Chiquita, as well as 5/3 Bank and a few national insurance companies. That means that even though it's a small(ish) city, there are a lot of high-end hotel rooms downtown. There are also a TON of lower-priced hotels and motels on both sides of the river, because it is a common stop-off point for people on I75 going between Florida and Canada. The airport is also much bigger. In WNY, OTOH, it's hard to get a room for a Bills home game unless you book it months in advance.
I think if it’s held in Buffalo it won’t be at the stadium it will be downtown on canal side/outer harbor. Problem is late April might still be cold asf near the water. I’ll agree that hotels will be an issue. We have plenty downtown but not sure for a 100K plus coming to town-

I do think it’s going to Buffalo one of those two years. The Bills built a new stadium, they’ll want to reward the Bills and it won’t be with a SB so this is the next best thing

I kind of thought about starting a new thread and we can debate whether you like his draft picks till the cows come home.
There are 3 things that Brandon Beane does very well as a GM:
1. He always gets a bargain on players he’s re-signing that have been with the Bills in comparison to their market value
2. The man knows how to work a draft board. He has shown it multiple times in his drafts. This one was great but none greater than his manipulation up the board to get Allen at 7 from 21 without giving up a single first round pick( Thanks Cordy Glenn)
3. He knows when a run on players is coming in a draft and very rarely gets caught with his pants down. He got ahead of the DL run and the OT run in the 4th.
I thought Igbinosun was a reach like a lot of others but if you look at the Cornerback picks in that area A. There weren’t many and only two had great length.
Brandon Cisse went 52nd, Igbinosun went 62, Tacario Davis went 72 then the next guy was Daylan Everette at 85. It’s clear the Bills really liked Igbinosun more than the others and the CB was thin at this point so he went up and got him for a 6th

The Jets fans think they swiped Cooper from us and the Dolphins think they stole Johnson from us. Truth is if we really loved either player we would have stayed and picked at 26 or 28 in Coopers case.
I was one of the few banging the CB drum in the early rounds and honestly would have loved Chris Johnson so if true that stings for me a bit for me.
To me the Bills were always planning on moving down. Beane talks about having an offer to go straight from 26 to the 2nd round were made clear but he wanted to go incrementally to see what was on the board. Maybe if the Bills didn’t have a partner they would have
I think it’s more likely that the Dolphins really liked Johnson and were afraid another team behind them might jump them. I think that team was Seattle. I also think the Bills jumped Seattle knowing they were going to take Igbinosun. It makes sense after seeing the Seahawks take both Neal and Fuller who were also long cornerbacks
Just my two cents from my perspective

The biggest thing I took from that was they wanted an Edge Rusher and CB in with their first two picks.
They had 3 players on their board at that spot obviously with Parker being the top one. I think it’s fair to assume the other two were also Edge Rushers or Cornerbacks based on his comment . So who fits there outside of Parker?
They wanted a long press corner so I’m not sure Hood was on there. Maybe Brandon Cisse from South Carolina? Unlikely I’d think?
I think Zion Young has to be one of the other two. Gabe Jacas makes sense but he went way later. Were they about to take a shot on R Mason Thomas or Cashius Howell? I’d say also unlikely so I’m most curious about that

Funny me and another member mentioned him as a possibility about a month and half or so ago. More the other poster than I after I mentioned him being a combine freak LB who converted to FB

He feels like a break in case of emergency type of option...
Yea I can’t see him going from # 1 option here to being # 4 or 5 on the depth chart or PS. I agree though an injury if he’s still available bring him back . Know the system , clearly has some juice left, doesn’t have to or probably want to do training camp either so it would work for all parties if he doesn’t get an opportunity to be at least a # 3 WR somewhere else-

Mason Arnold a LS from Florida State also is receiving a mini camp invite from the Bills.
It really shouldn’t mean anything because they need a snapper for Doman during Minicamp but adding Arnold to go with Langston could be that they are looking to bring another guy in to compete with Reid this year

Ray Davis sounds like he’s pushing his way out…
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
He’s an older back on a rookie contract who wants to make some decent money in his career. He knows that’s not going to happen in Buffalo. Don’t blame him but Buffalo also isn’t going to trade him for the little value they’d likely get for him so he’s stuck for another year most likely
