Yes. It's a bunch of old men crying over some emojis posted on social media. To be fair about total yards rushing... Attempts: Barkley 345 Henry 325 Robinson 304 Gibbs 250 Cook 207

See below:

No one who was extended got above their market value, most far less. No one "got paid". They all left money on the table and traded it for cash now. If you think Cook hasnt received a similar offer from Beane, you're delusional. I'm sure Beane has offered him the same type of team-friendly deal everyone else got. It's more that Cook wants more than a "team-friendly but cash now" deal, and is fine playing another year that will either cause Buffalo's offer to increase or let him hit the open market where he will definitely get paid. The idea that Beane is ignoring our 2nd best weapon on Offense, only behind the reigning league MVP, over a couple of social media posts is ridiculous. But whatever makes you feel superior about it.

WRT draft day... I'll start by saying that, looking at the next 10, or even 15, picks there isnt anyone we obviously missed out on. I wanted Linderbaum or Dax Hill, but our OL is great and Hill hasnt panned out either. Not sure anyone expected Karlaftis to be as good as he has been either. Late 1st round in 2022 was a tough spot to be in. I absolutely think the Chiefs took us by surprise when they traded up and stole McDuffie. I know Beane has said otherwise in the media, but he says what he HAS to say, not the truth. The Chiefs caught us off-guard and there wasnt enough time to put together any trade down, and Elam was the panic pick to fill the need, and hope for the best.

I mean, throw a tackling dummy out there if we're looking to improve

I heard Beane was able to get a 5th and a 7th out of Dallas because he opened negotiations asking for Jerry's favorite salt shaker. Jerry was willing to part with anything but that.

I dunno. I love any good reason to bag on McD, but I think this was just on the individual player. I do blame Beane and McD for panic picking him in the first place.

Not counting on him for much more than being another body if we need him. The review I got from my Steeler-fan neighbor who is on a similar level to some of the top "scout" posters we have here was not great. But we might get 1 play/game out of him.

Classic

Gotta love the offseason

What do you mean? MVP Aaron Rodgers is still available, as is Russell Wilson!

popcorn, WITH the sparkles

Always good stuff when he is on. BBB!

NY is a legalized state

Which lambo UFA WRs are available that we missed on? Real question because I haven't check any lists.

Darnold to Seattle too. Former Vikings QB Sam Darnold reached agreement today on a three-year, $110.5 million contract including $55 million guaranteed with the Seattle Seahawks I hesitate making a separate thread for every signing. I get Fields is relevant because its in the division.

The league makes a TON of money. The players should get it. edit to add: wait until we see what New England and Washington do with all their cap room. gonna blow our socks off with some contracts.

That's barely backup QB money.

Not sure I agree with this bit. I dont think it's just and not even mostly playing for a contender/with Josh that got them to sign instead of hitting the FA market. I think the bigger part for them is cash-in-hand now without risking injury through another season. Being on the contender helps a bit, no denying that. But I believe money is still the main driver. Sign now, get that signing bonus TODAY, as opposed to risking it all via injury. For Benford that definitely makes sense. For Shakir who takes those huge hits. And even for Groot who plays in the trenches where all the big bodies are rolling around.

Ha, you and I are always good, and I'm always just jokin with ya. Much like most of this thread. But it's not "outrage" either. I aint mad at it, and yeah, he's the weakest of my examples. But out of the 4-6 true Contenders, he didnt end up on any of them. Even if you remove him from my list, there are plenty of other examples of why fans should ignore that statement when we hear it.

But it's ok if Arizona beats us to a FA because it's better for us to lose to NFC opponents

Alright man, you win. Steelers to the Super Bowl. Book it! (They'll be lucky to make the playoffs)

No QB, and in a tough division. They certainly arent Cleveland, and anything is possible. They are definitely the most solid of the examples I provided.

If Cleveland fixed their QB position, they're still arguably the 3rd best team in that Division. I'm not criticizing the players. I get it. I'm just pointing out the absurdity of their statement and reminding us fans to not believe everything we hear.

Especially in a market like Buffalo which is very lucky to have an NFL team. If the NFL were started today, would Buffalo even be on the list of top 50 cities to potentially get a team? No. It's the cost of keeping the team.
