  1. If people read this article it would answer some of the questions running through this thread. I'm not a tech-head, but if the logic in the article is sound, the NFL should be doing yet another thorough investigation involving the Patriots.

  2. spotrac is showing 6 yrs / $95m ?

     

    http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/marcell-dareus/

     

     

    • $5.35M in incentives
    $7,585,882 for 2015 [/size]

     

     

    $107.93 m if incentives are earned if 2015 salary included[/size]

    i believe the 108 includes 2015. The 100 is for the next 6 years

    Thanks guys.

     

    I imagine that the incentives will typically be reached(probowl etc) so it's a 6yr/100M extension. Better(cheaper) than I was hoping for.

    I think the sportrac is correct, although the 100m is through expected to be reached incentives of 5+m from the 95, which I believe count against the cap.

    Thanks to you too.

    Hell, thanks to everyone! What a great day to be a Bills fan! :D

  3. Defensive starters inherited by Whaley

     

    Dareus, Gilmore, M. Williams. A. Williams, K. Anderson, J.Hughes, N. Bradham, Manny Lawson

     

    Defensive starters added by Whaley:

     

    Robey, Graham, Darby,

     

    Whaley is just a guy who is a GM. He has exhibited no particular expertise at bringing in top notch talent. He is the most over rated part of the Bills.

     

    Even the Bills additions this year on offense, Incognito and Taylor are Rex Ryan adds, not Whaley adds.

     

    Whaley owns the wide receivers and McCoy. The rest of the team is not really his doing.

    Your facts checker was obviously away on holidays when you wrote this.

    .....

     

    One thing is certain...As a Bills fan I'll be pulling for him hard...

     

    The same way I'll pull hard for EJ....

    Man, in the privacy of your own home you can do whatever sexual activity you want....but it's not really any of our business.

  5.  

    Exact quote from article: "the Bills have basically used their last three first-rounders to come away with Watkins and nothing more"

    The part I had in quotations was also an exact quote from the article....and was the part that was originally being discussed (2nd paragraph in Bills section from memory). The part that you quoted means exactly what it says.

     

    I think the point that many are missing here is....what does it matter how badly the Bills might have mismanaged in putting the team together? It is the talent on the field that counts towards whether they are good or not....not how many mistakes, cap issues, or wasted draft picks it took to get them on the field.

  6. @mikerodak

    Tyrod Taylor’s agent tells me that report about him wearing diamond-studded mouthpiece is a “complete fabrication.” Never talked to dentist.

     

    Tyrod Taylor’s agent, Adisa Bakari, says that Taylor and his family are offended by the notion that he would even wear a diamond mouthpiece.

    I'm starting to get nervous about TT's indecisiveness. First he gets diamond teeth....now he finds dentists offensive. How will he cope making decisions on the field!

  7. Great post Dibs.

     

    I admittedly hated the trade and think that my reasons did have some merit. The draft was said to be loaded with receivers, we did not have anyone who even resembled a good quarterback, and we had major holes in the OL.

     

    I do NOT hate the trade now, but it's a bit early for me to say that I like it. The 2015 first round pick might have really helped us. I guess we will never know. Also, if Sammy gets hurt bad, there goes 2 first round picks (and a 4th) down the drain.

     

    Sammy does show potential to be great. If he wins us some games he will have been well worth the huge hit we took in order to obtain him. Time will tell.

    Thanks Bill. In my mind the "we don't have a top QB" was/is by far the strongest argument against the trade. Sure, a star WR is always going to be helpful on any team but when you have a good QB throwing to a star WR....that's when it can become magical. I think the "plan" was perhaps too reliant upon the young QB(EJ) developing as hoped for into a good QB....which was a bit of a gamble. Hopefully we can achieve the desired result regardless through TT....and if not, hope EJs improvement isn't a mirage and continues.

  8. Oh really?

    Well, yes. It doesn't mean that they don't....but it certainly doesn't mean that they do. Why question something so obvious?

     

    And re: the maths... The trade cost the Bills one 1st round pick. The player cost the Bills two 1st round picks. Do you honestly think that people who word it that way (myself included) are somehow tŕying to say that the trade cost us two first round picks? Even though every Bills fan(and anyone else who was interestdd on draft day) knows exactly what the trade was?

     

    For the record, I liked the trade at the time of the draft....liked it all last year....and still like it now. Two picks IMO is well worth it for one of the premium prospects in the draft....particularly for a character like Watkins.
