With all, ALL, due respect... that number is crazy delusional. He's never been at $11M. Our chance to sign Cook in the $12M-$14M range was this offseason. His number is only going up, and is probably a minimum $15M right now after Henry's new deal. I dont buy the rumors that he is looking for $20M, but as we move to next offseason with more RBs up for re-signing and resetting the market, he'll be at a $15M-$17M range at the very least.

Is there any chance Rodgers learned something from having survived the ***** show of a team that would give him all the power and now he's fine with just showing up, shutting up, playing and getting paid? Even if he didnt, maybe he's more likely to fall in line for an established coach like Tomlin over a coach like Saleh? I still think Rodgers is cooked, but I'm not convinced it will be a coaching issue that does him in. I guess we'll see. One thing I know for sure, it was way more fun watching him fail on a division rival.

LOL, there is 0% chance the Commanders trade him. It's just another example of a player skipping team activities in order to apply leverage on his contract negotiations.

And of course, my all time favorite from last year. Their last game as Jets... I dont even mind that it was against the Dolphins since they are just as feeble. This is some much-watch stuff. Volume on.

I, too, have informed the Steelers I plan to sign a contract with them and show up at their practice.

Another "cancerous malcontent"?

Doubt he ever goes back to California. He'll be back in Florida next (and I assume he already has another house down there)

Yeah, Josh was absolutely putting in a ton of work in the offseasons his first few seasons. Recreating himself as a passer from scratch, basically.

We actually got a pretty good look at Mahomes' routine, plan, and activities in the Netflix "Quarterbacks" show. It was beyond impressive. While I am not criticizing Josh, or questioning his work ethic, I don't see how it could be at the same level. For example, Mahomes built a facility in KC and moved his long time personal trainer to KC. If Josh was doing something like that, we'd know it. Again, I'm not questioning or criticizing Josh. But I dont think the effort/dedication/whatever you want to call it is the same. Could certainly be wrong. Maybe Josh is doing everything Mahomes is and we just dont see it. But Mahomes' level would be difficult for ANYONE to match.

Like we've said previously, no rush to pay him, and we can always tag him. But I disagree on letting him walk, especially if he repeats.

Every thread title that is just "Brady" gets me every time. Every. Time.

What is this $20M number and where is it coming from? Cook has only mentioned $15M, and only mentioned it once. I have him possibly getting up to $17M on the market if he has a repeat season. At that point, we'd just Franchise Tag him tho and figure it out from there. And as for the Schoen quote... Maybe I'm crazy but I'd swear there is a constant hum of Bills fans begging Beane to get Josh weapons so he doesnt have to do it all himself. Why are we so excited to get rid of the most productive skill player on Offense? What better to take the pressure off a QB than a real threatening running game? What better to take those dangerous carries off of Josh's shoulders than a real RB who can do it himself? As for the OL, almost every great RB ran behind a great OL. Heck, even OJ had the Electric Company. Maybe the only one was Barry Sanders. You need both. As to the bold, why does he care? He got his money. And for RBs, this next contract is likely his one shot at big bucks.

15 is out of the question... with who? You? The Bills? Because if he repeats his 2024 season, then when he hits the open market he will absolutely get $15M/yr. Maybe more.

He is playing out the contract he signed. The entire discussion/negotiation is about his next contract.

I was there. But I was too late...

66. Father time is undefeated. It is for this job. And his bosses arent working real jobs. The best owners are the least involved. Theyre more investors than anything. They want someone younger and able to keep innovating into the future to be doing all the work.

If your Safety is squaring up the RB then you have bigger problems on your hands since the RB is getting through your DL and LBs. I'd rather see Bishop stepping in front of that pass over the middle and taking it to the house for a pick-6.

Tyreek Hill doesn’t believe he deserves to be a Dolphins team captain https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/tyreek-hill-doesnt-believe-he-deserves-to-be-a-dolphins-team-captain Agreed, Tyreek...

Offseason Thread Hall of Fame (Shame)

He got a great offer from Seattle and we couldnt afford him anymore. We technically could have paid him, but he was getting starter money and we were going to have him as a backup. I thought Beane did a good enough job shoring up the position after the 2023 fiasco, and even with Milano and Bernard out, didnt see the drop off like we had previously.

These jokes never get old Just like Tremaine Edmunds

Havent watched it, but I think I saw that the main character is from Buffalo.

I cant think of one time over the past 25 years anyone has said "This team had a lot of potential coming into the season, but Hard Knocks really sandbagged them"
