    Our new starting slot WR is 5 foot 6 and has 64 catches in his 4 year career?

    The only year to look at is the 2021 season. Before that he was an UDFA fighting for playing time. He finally got that playing time in 2021. Then he got hurt early in 2022. So here is the numbers for 2021: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/H/HarrDe07/gamelog/2021/advanced/

     

    What stands out to me is this. 36 catches for 570 and 3 TDs. Of those 570 yards, 241 of them were YAC.

    I like Lamar as a person...or how he presents himself to the public.  But man, he's being stupid here.

     

    If you don't like the numbers you're being offered, get an agent.  You are obviously not doing a good enough job yourself.

    Lamar and his mom were really fixated on not giving up that 3% during the draft process. And by this point, he's been so public about this that he cannot really back down. I think that it's cost him a lot more than 3%, but what do I know?

    Just because you don’t know him doesn’t mean he’s not good.

     

    I love what he brings to the field. He’s a super charged Dirty and is a good return man.  It might be more expensive than I thought we’d pay, but he’s got juice.

    But the Bills just resigned Hines. They don't really need another returner. And those are agent numbers for the contract. We'll have to see what the actual structure of it is before judging if the BIlls overpaid.

    Funny, we kept hearing for a while around here was that Vander Esche was so much better than Edmunds.

     

    Vander Esche signed for 2 years, $11M to stay with Dallas as no market at all developed for him. 
     

    Edmunds signed early day 1 for 4 years, $72M.

     

    Seems the NFL GMs value them quite differently than TSW pundits.  

    Vander Esche wears a neck pad like a 90’s LB. Bills fans like that.

    I've said it a couple of times now, but the thing I don't get is that Lamar will see every dollar of whatever 4-6 year contract he ends up signing.  What's the big deal?

     

    If the Ravens are that worried about a potential catastrophic injury, then both parties need to part ways.  

    Basic pride/ego. He thinks “Deshawn Watson got that much and I’m better than him so I should get more.”

    GMs should be more than happy to guarantee a contract to their franchise QB.  Whatever GM signs a QB to a massive contract is getting fired if he sucks irrespective of how much of the money was guaranteed.  It’s not like pissing away $130 million is fine but $180 million is grounds for termination.  If you pick the right guy, he’s worth whatever the contract is.

    It’s not the GMs. It’s the owners. They have to put any money guaranteed over the life of a contract into an escrow account so that’s it’s actually guaranteed.

    He is really dumb for this reason...no matter how "good" negotiations go, it sets up "bad blood" between the player and franchise because the player says "I think I am worth this" and then has to hear all the reasons(some of which may be true that he doesn't want to hear) about why the team thinks he isn't and is only worth this amount. Those are things he may "hear second hand" from his agent but he wouldn't be present for the conversations and the depths and details that would be presented so he would mostly stay immune to that.  There is a high probability this deal isn't getting done for this reason mainly.

    This is what is going on. Hockey and baseball players talk about the ego hit that they take in arbitration hearings all the time.

    In the thread on the signing, there is a very long write up profile on him and it sounds very encouraging.  Only has drawn 2 flags in his whole career so far, which brings much needed discipline to the OL.  And he has great versatility where he can play G and C, but also lined up in the backfield as well.  Write up even referred to him as a guy that Dallas should try and keep.  

     

    I didn't know much about him prior to reading the write up, but it definitely read well and seems encouraging, like one of those signings we will look back at and say Beane was a wizard again at finding value.  

    We don't tend to know much about the OGs on other teams unless we liked them in the draft.

  9. The Giants just doubled down on 9-7-1 where a few of those 9 wins were a lucky bounce away from being a loss. Remember the bad snap that led to the game-winning interception against Baltimore? Their week 1 win against the Titans required a missed FG in OT. It took an A-Rod choke to win in London. I think that if they were not coaching in NY, they would not have gone this route. But in NY they cannot afford a reset year like the Bills had in 2018 with a rookie QB.

    Tremaine Tag, strictly based on position and what the number would be, would be a very poor financial decision (irrespective of opinions on level of play) 

    Ps I guess he needs to tag Diggs so he doesn’t go to Dallas 🙄 

    I can't tell if you're joking, but Stefon Diggs is not a free agent. If he demands a trade, his only leverage would be to hold out and the tag does nothing to prevent that.

    this is nothing, im pretty sure he always followed dallas cause of his brother

    Someone on Reddit mentioned back in January when he did this that he always deletes all the Bills content from his IG after the season as a symbolic "fresh start." It's just notable this time because of how upset he was at Josh during the playoff game and all the noise from his brother at the Superbowl media interviews.
