right now I feel we are at status quo. We need the draft to pay dividends and Beane / McD have to make solid / great picks to put us where we want to be. We need cost controlled rookies who can start or earn significant playing time.

I'd be more than willing to sign him as our WR6, as long as we only keep 5 WRs

Agreed, but they do and they constantly factor in the cap going up and up and up... Until it starts coming down nothing will really change accept for the amount you will be expected to shell out season after season for the right to watch a game. fans need to say enough is enough, and back up their words with their wallets

When its the difference between getting paid million$ a year, or being on the unemployment line with barely enough skills to make a livinig wage outside of football, the majority would roll the dice. Especially when every one around you is doing something similiar.... It really is up to the NFL to make punishment so severe it can completely derail your career and keep you out of the NFL. Basically the NFL needs a 1 year suspension for 1st violation and removal from the NFL on the 2nd violation. Then you will make some headway against PEDs. The loss of a career would resonate loudly but the NFL obviously chooses to look the other way.

They are only out of control if you are tired of spending $1000's a year watching the NFL. If you are not tired of paying for tickets, streaming services, and memorabilia etc.. then this is exactly what you are paying for. Until the fans make a statement with their wallets and pocketbooks not a single thing will change. Myself I spend maybe $300 a year for the Sunday ticket but last year I waited till the 2nd half before I even made the purchase at a discount.

I've watched and listened to Josh since he was drafted just like the rest of you I never once felt Josh would want or choose to finish his career somewhere else. His comments come to absolute no surprise to me, I expect him to be playing for the Bills when he is 40

He will be what we have had IMO. Solid, will make some plays but a difference maker will wreak Havoc, Where the opposing O has to shift to accomodate this player. I am glad to have Bosa but I do not see him as a difference maker, and I do not see offenses shifting personel to handle him on every play. Just a solid vet who will make occasional plays.

We are desperate for a difference maker on the DL and on a cost controlled contractand that won't happen (most likely) at #30..

Other teams will notice if he holds out and it will effect his bargaining power some. I do not think 24 season is enough alone to move the needle to $15 mil a season for anyone in 2025. Maybe 2026 depending how much the salary cap space jumps, but I forsee Cook asking for $20 million in 2026 with that scenario with another 2024 season of success in 2025. Thats how I view Cook the player now, another social media mouth who is more about getting paid then being on a class team competing every year. In fact whom was the last player to make a stink about getting a new contract from Beane? Beane is pretty pro active about re-signing players and I can not think of one player who went public with a contract demand during Beanes tenure.... I could be wrong just do not recall.

No he does not have to but it will cost him in FA if he does not is what I said. SO he has to play the full yuear if he wants to have any chance of getting paid what he is asking for IMO. He can hold out for camp but he has to play 17 + games to make the bank.

I just don't think he processes stuff on field fast enough regardless of system. The red flag was the note book. How many times have you heard of a player bringing a notebook to show off their notes while taking notes in an interview. Elam was the 1st I have ever read about. He needed the notes to help him learn systems, but in the NFL you have to react and not think about what you are going to do

No way we would spend a 1st rd pick on a RB given our needs along the DL and DB Make him play on his deal this year, and be prepared to transition tag him next year. Draft a RB in the mid rounds this year and next

He has to play the full year to get what he is asking for in FAs next year. I can see him holding out of camp, but even that is gamble with so much riding on him wanting that contract... eventually We can place a transition tag on him next year if we feel he is unreplaceable, and even if he is replaceable I would consider the transition tag to orchestatrate a trade for an asset wioth some value before FA

here is what went wrong with Elam. He showed a williingess to get better, he brought a notebook with lots of notes in it and was taking notes in the interview. This won over McD who figured he would be able to get him to that place with reps and Beane drafted him based on the input. The notebook was a red flag in hindsight. What that showed is Elam doesn't learn by reps in practice at a high enough level for the pros. He has to learn and understand it and does not just react. When you put him on the field he had to think about everything he needed to be doing because he didn't master it by running reps, he was still thinking on the fileld and not reacting organically. This explains why he playing so far off of the WR's that had people complaining and rightfully so. I bet the farm when we had to play Elam the coaches told him to play back some cause they know he would eventually get burned for a big play and they wanted to lower the % that it would happen. Whether that was the right call or not its the reason why Elam did not work out.

deserted island will all inclusive service ????? you can one or the other, you can never have both.

Outside of Josh he represents what the Bills Mafia is. Passionate and a little whacky

he is still out there and nobody is buzzing about him. He may come back on cheap 1 year deal.

I'll miss him on the Bills, he wasn't dynamic but he played smart and with an edge, and we need players like that. From a talent stand point he is replaceable, from a character stand point he will be hard to replace

Nice call, unbelievable that someone remembered the post from 2022 Go ahead and say it... you called it

He is special. I know I really appreciate having such a player representing us

Yes that would make this trasition a lot smoother, I think we should throw in a looping mp3 of Barry White to really set the mood

I think the couple would really love something provocative

It will eventually put the team in cap jail, but Allen has a new 6 year contract, time to push our financial limitations down the line as long as we can/as long as Allen is our QB

Oh you mean this guy! https://tenor.com/view/afro-the-naked-gun-1970s-70s-disco-gif-6403564674703492338

I tried a CPAP machine but I sleep on my stomach, back and side..... and end up twisted in the hose, or I drool into the mask and when I rotate positions I get cold drool falling back on my face. I can not use a cpap, and I sleep in my own room/bed because of it. I've looked into it but surgeries are so iffy and not worth it, so there is no options for me.
