I am absolutely sure he is in some posh resort that I could only dream of going to someday, and all his activities are above the board. But the stereotype on that place is there for a reason and Kliff just walked right into it. 🤣

Ah, gotcha. I dont see the difference with the rookie contract, but regardless... His current contract doesnt matter. He has a bit of power by deciding whether or not he wants to do a long term deal with the potential trade partner. No team is trading multiple 1sts just for a 1-year rental on the tag.

Nothing creepier than a dude disappearing into Thailand.

A no-trade clause benefits the player who does get control over where they go. Additionally, any team that is going to trade multiple 1sts for him will only complete the trade after working out a long term deal with Lamar. So if he doesnt want to go to that team, he doesnt sign a deal. Neither side holds "all" the cards. Each have a few cards they can play. If they both play them right then Lamar ends up on another team, where he wants to be playing, for a high $ deal, and the Ravens end up with a pile of draft picks. Hence why I think he'll end up either in Atlanta or Miami. Two places he'd be willing to go, and two teams with the resources and desperation to land a new franchise QB and pay him a ton of money.

Nah, week 3 was their Super Bowl. This is their toilet bowl. All they sacrificed with putting Tua back out in our game has lead them to the skid they are on, and a first round disaster. Those 4 days in September (our game and the Thursday Night Bengals game) has pretty much ended their QBs career. Good for them. Hope it was worth it.

I see Carr a best fit in Seattle. He's better then Wilson but needs the coaching of Carrol. And he's a west coast kid. Lamar get tagged and traded to Atlanta or maybe Miami. Not sure what the Ravens do in the meantime, but likely a vet "bridge" QB. Maybe Jimmy G but likely more a 2nd tier guy so there is a clear path for whoever they draft next.

I'll take it! Mostert is a wuss. Whole Dolphin team has already given up on this game. Bills by a BILLion!

We're BACK BABY!! TO THE MOOOON!! (lol)

There isnt a ton of quantifiable medical facts or data to back it up, but anyone who has played a contact sport knows there is a HUGE difference between wind conditioning and hitting/contact conditioning. Hyde could be able to run a marathon right now, but one quarter of hitting with no prior contact will destroy him. It's partly why we see all these injuries (across all teams) now that teams dont hit as much (or at all) through Training Camp and practices.

Not yet. Nothing official yet from the NFL, but it looks like the Bills and Chiefs will get an allotment of tickets, and their STH who have prepaid for playoff tickets will get first priority. Then we go from there.

Backups need contracts too, and we need guys for the rotation. If he can get a little more consistent, I could see him sticking around on a 2nd contract. Definitely not anywhere near top of the market. But a $3M/year? Sure.

Diggs, Davis, Shakir, Bease, Smoke. Have Hines run the jet sweep/motions. See if we can find a spot for Crowder when he comes back. Lets Go!

They are. The other Hyatt downtown is the true Hyatt (as opposed to the smaller Hyatt Place). Downtown Hyatt hosts all the big conferences (DragonCon, etc).

Nice enough. Fairly new/recently re-done. Right in the heart of the tourist stuff downtown, and close to stadium.

If I survive the tailgate to make it in, yes. We've been half expecting this and already tentatively planning the tailgate. Trying to get my hooks in to see if I can get like 50 tickets from the Bills, lol.

It's a 90min flight from each city, and usually pretty cheap because Atlanta is such a hub airport (busiest in the world!). Way easier for everyone to get to than Indy or Cincy. Plus, Cincy and Chicago are open stadiums. Atlanta is the most cost effective and easiest travel out of all options due to the airport.

LETS GOOOOOOO Work went right out the window today. Been on the phone with Falcons ticket office, and every Bills STH I know or am loosely acquainted with back home.

Bills by a Billion. LETS GO!

Because it's not arbitrary, there is a rule we're following. The team has 21 days (3 weeks) from first practice, and then they have to make a decision to put him on the active roster or IR him.

Start getting back in shape, see where he is at and what it looks like for next year. Remember, this is the window they get before having to make a roster decision. Could be he practices for a week, or two, or three and then goes back on IR.

Lamar getting tagged and traded (Atlanta or Miami, imo) This cements Edmunds at a minimum of $18M/yr, but likely something closer if not exactly that $20M A year ago, I wouldve been adamant about letting Edmunds walk at that price. This year, I say sign him.

Does that every game. For his Monday morning call with McD. This. Let's keep it classy after a long, difficult week.

It's the playoffs. Heck, I'm half expecting Hamlin to strap em on for the Bills. Tua's brains are leaking out of his ears and there's talk he might play. I'm not saying he should or that its a good idea, but if he has one good hand to carry the ball in and a set of working legs, he's playing. Playoffs.

I stopped when I got to the part that said Tom Brady has it easy. Tampa is 8-9 and only made it into the playoffs because their division is even worse, and they have no Offensive Line.

It is, but he'll manage it, and he'll play.
